LOS ANGELES, April 14 (UPI) -- If rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley shows up in any future digital projects it will not likely be in a commercial, The Los Angeles Times reports.
Robert F.X. Sillerman -- who recently gained control of Presley's name, image and likeness -- said he doubted Presley would appear in a car commercial, the way the late Steve McQueen recently did. Sillerman also said he didn't think it would be a good idea to do with Presley what was done with the late Conway Twitty recently -- when bits of Twitty's old records were manipulated through a computer program to make it sound like he was singing a new song.
"I'm not sure you're going to see Elvis in a commercial," Sillerman said. "With Elvis, less is more."
George Klein, a pallbearer at Presley's funeral who currently operates an Elvis station on Sirius satellite radio, said he would welcome a new Elvis record.
"I think it's strictly business and this is 2005," Klein said. "He's been dead 27 years, and you have to move on. Market what you got. A duet with Britney Spears or something like that would be great."
