Yo Elvis!

A Philadelphian now owns Elvis. it was announced today that Lisa Marie Presley sold her 85% stake in her father's estate, known as Elvis Presley Enterprises, to Philadelphian Robert F.X. Sillerman. According to Reuters:

As well as running Graceland, Presley's home in Memphis, Tennessee, Sillerman will own his name and likeness, the rights to his photographs and revenue from his music, TV shows and films such as "Jailhouse Rock."

Lisa Marie keeps the title to Graceland and surrounding property, and her mother, Elvis' ex-wife Priscilla reamins executive consultant to the business.

It remains to be seen the impact this will have on Elvis' legacy, but the mind boggles at the thought of someone besides Col. Tom Parker or a family member controlling the King's legacy. Stay tuned....

Fantastic!

Many fans have been specualting about the identity. And the cover to the March issue certainly lends credence to the rumors.

Here's the cover...
