Elvis Lives Again: Elvis Presley's Last Song, 'Just Like Rollin' Up Hill,' Now Being Auctioned on eBay

Elvis Lives Again: Elvis Presley's Last Song, 'Just Like Rollin' Up Hill,' Now Being Auctioned on eBay

MENDON, Utah, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 19th, 2007 at 12:00 PM PST, the winning bid will have controlling interest to the Elvis Presley-Paul Terry King song registered on BMI.com as work number 7600186.

This is a historic event for three kings: the "King of Rock and Roll" Elvis Presley, the Larry King Cardiac Foundation and songwriter Paul Terry King (co-author of the last known song co-written but never released by Elvis), who is now auctioning off his copyrighted interest to the song titled "Just Like Rollin' Up Hill" (registered under Elvis Presley's BMI work number 7600186 on BMI.com).

A portion of the proceeds go to the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, whose mission is to provide funding for lifesaving cardiac procedures for individuals who, due to limited means and no insurance, would be otherwise unable to receive lifesaving treatment.

Elvis Presley and former American Studios songwriter Paul Terry King co- wrote two songs in 1973 and performed them privately -- "If I'd Only Bought Her Roses" and "Just Like Rollin' Up Hill."

Elvis and King's first song "If I'd Only Bought Her Roses," US copyright PAu-1810-413, was purchased by Elvis-a-Rama in 2005. Elvis-a-Rama was planning an Elvis impersonation contest with the winning contestant singing "If I'd Only Bought Her Roses."

The songs (along with remaining assets of Elvis-a-Rama) were purchased by billionaire Robert Sillerman's company CKX in 2005 for an undisclosed amount prior to release.

Devoted fans, music enthusiasts, entrepreneurs and/or entertainers can now bid and get copyright and performance rights to one of the most prized possessions of the King himself, his music -- and help in the war against heart disease.

"It's Now or Never!" This opportunity will never be available to the public again.

The song is now available to the public on eBay. The auction closes at 12:00 PM PST on Monday, March 19th, 2007. To listen to the song, and learn all about it, go to http://www.elvissong.info/. To bid now go to eBay.com, item #290092399734, or contact eBay powerseller Mike Waters toll-free @801-668- 5323.
