Deborah Allen Honors Elvis with Tribute Song

Singer/Songwriter to Debut “Amazing Graceland” during Elvis Week on Sirius/XM

NASHVILLE, TN (August 9, 2010) --- A legend in her own right for her expansive career as a recording artist, songwriter, producer and performer, Deborah Allen (www.deborahallen.com) returns to the city of her birth to honor another legendary entertainer, Elvis Presley.

On August 13, during Elvis Week, Deborah will appear on Elvis Radio (Sirius/XM) to debut “Amazing Graceland,” a song she penned in honor of the ‘King of Rock and Roll'. Hosted by George Klein, Elvis Radio is the only all Elvis, all the time radio station, broadcasting live from Graceland. ( www.sirius.com/elvisradio)

“I was born and raised in Memphis and have always loved Elvis and his music,” Allen says.  He was always in our midst.  In fact my mother and daddy designed and upholstered the interior of Elvis's first bus. As I grew up, we used to pass by Graceland often, however it was not until this past Christmas that I actually stepped through the doors of Graceland. I was deeply moved and inspired. I could truly feel the spirit of Elvis there. This song is a heartfelt tribute to the life of the man who gave so much to the heritage of American music.”

With more than 1,600 published songs, with several achieving BMI's distinguished million air-play awards, including her own hits “Baby I Lied” and “Rock Me,” Deborah Allen has written songs recorded by an impressive list of other artists, like LeAnn Rimes, Tanya Tucker, Patty Loveless, Brooks & Dunn, Diana Ross and Fleetwood Mac.

In addition to her performance on Elvis Radio, the recording artist will appear Sunday, August 15 at Alfred's on Beale Street where George Klein will host a reunion of Elvis' Memphis Mafia from 4-6 p.m., ( www.alfredsbeale.com). Fans will get another opportunity to hear “Amazing Graceland” at that reunion event where some of Elvis Presley's friends are expected to gather.

Elvis Week 2010 will be held August 10-16 at Graceland and throughout Memphis. As part of the celebration of Elvis Presley's 75th birthday year, an exciting lineup of events is planned for the 30-40,000 fans expected to attend from around the world. The annual, multi-day gathering celebrates the life, music and legacy of Elvis Presley, who passed away on August 16, 1977.

Never one to slow down, the dynamic brunette recently entered a partnership between her Delta Queen Publishing and Delta Rock Music in Nashville. Allen is also working on a new release on Entertainment One Nashville scheduled for release in 2011. Eone's Vice President/Country Chuck Rhodes says of Allen, “Deborah and I have worked together for 20 years, back to the Giant Records days. She is one of our format's MVP's when it comes to vocals and her songwriting abilities. This new body of work may be her finest career achievement!”

 “Amazing Graceland” will be available for download from iTunes and other music retailers.

"There's A Last Time For Everything" speaks about the fragility of life and how one should tell everyone in their life how much they care for them while there's still time. "As time goes on and we experience the joys and blessings along with the disappointments and losses in life it gives reason to ponder the reality of just how brief our stay here in this life can be.", says Deborah of the song co-written by longtime Nashville songwriter and friend, Curtis Wright .

Individuals can visit LastTimeForEverything.com and preview the song as well as read Deborah's thoughts on the song and how it came to life.
