As “Surrender” steps into the Number 1 spot on the charts, it might be interesting to note that Elvis Presley, to date, has sold in excess of $76,000,000 worth of RCA Victor recordings. Need more be said? On March 25th, Presley will do a benefit in Pearl Harbor to aid in the construction of a giant memorial for the Battleship Arizona. Colonel Tom Parker has announced that all proceeds from this rare Presley p.a. will go for this cause. A tremendous success in films as well as records, Presley begins shooting his next movie, ‘Blue Hawaii” the end of March.
