It's Cruel Somehow, It Just Don't Seem Right
Born February 1, 1968, to Elvis and Priscilla, Lisa Marie Presley is the sole heir to the King's estate.

Lisa performed a "duet" of Don't Cry Daddy with her father on August 16, 1997, at a tribute concert marking the 20th anniversary of Elvis' death.

"Elvis in Concert '97" broke an all-time box office gross records at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis.

How could there be Elvis concerts and duets with his daughter if Elvis died at his home in Memphis, August 16, 1977?

"Elvis-The Concert," which has followed the 1997 performance concept, features original members of Elvis' "Takin' Care of Business" band, The Sweet Inspirations, The Imperials, The Stamps and the Joe Guercio Orchestra playing live music to Elvis' vocals and video projections extracted from concert recordings.

The video footage is projected on giant video screens, much in the way that modern concerts use video screens to bring the star closer to the audience.

The effect is that you feel like you are actually in attendance at a live Elvis performance. (I went and it was pretty good. At modern-day colliseum concerts, you're lucky if you can see the stage, let alone the band members, so you have to rely on the screen anyways, so this isn't much different.)

"Elvis-The Concert" received an official Guinness World Record™ as "the first live tour starring a performer who is no longer living."

Lisa Marie has two children, Danielle and Benjamin, by her first husband of 6 years, Danny Keough. The couple divorced in 1994.

Later that year Lisa married the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. They divorced in 1996.

Nicolas Cage, who won an Academy Award for donning a jumpsuit with the Flying Elvises in "Leaving Las Vegas", is Lisa Marie's newest hubby. They were wed in Hawaii on August 12.
