In The Ghetto Lisa Marie Presley and Elvis Duet
I have loved this song by Elvis since I was small. The story behind it is sad, but the new version’s profits are to be used to help children and poverty in New Orleans.
Lisa Marie has posted information to prevent the video from being viewed illegally or without payment. Both the video and song are for sale at iTunes.
She says on her website that she wants people to support the song by purchasing it at iTunes as opposed to watching it for free on Youtube.
There is only one problem with that…when I went to purchase it, the song is not for sale in my country.
The charity that she has created is called The Presley Charitable Foundation.
The Presley Charitable Foundation is a philanthropic organization that will work to bring assistance and solutions to those in need. It’s first endeavor will be, Presley Place New Orleans, a transitional-housing facility for homeless families.
I am happy that Lisa Marie is using hers and her fathers celebrity to do good in the world, but music video’s are normally not seen as something that are illegal, they are promotional.
Having this video out there whether it is being viewed through youtube or any other on line video source creates awareness about your campaign.
I urge people to spend the $1 on the song or $2 on the video to support the work that Lisa Marie is doing in New Orleans, but I don’t believe that watching the video should be classified as illegal especially when it is not for sale in my country.
If and when it becomes available for me to purchase, I will do so, until then here is the video:
