Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley
and Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, has music in her blood.
Growing up as the daughter of the original King of Rock and Roll,
Lisa early on developed an understanding and appreciation
for music of all types. That affinity continues today,
as she prepares to release her self written debut album
on Capitol Records.
Lisa's life and upbringing have been unique to say the least.
Born on February 1, 1968, Lisa split her childhood,
living in Los Angeles with her mother and at Graceland with her father,
after her parents divorced in 1973.

DON'T CRY DADDY
=========================
by:
Scott Davis
=========================
Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet
From last night tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee-cup
Kept crying
And ringing in my ears
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true, but somehow
It just don't seem right
'Cause ev'ry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Upon the universally mourned death of her iconic father,
Lisa became sole heir of the legendary Graceland and its attendant activities.
She currently serves as the Chairman of the board for Elvis Presley Enterprises
which works to preserve the name, image and likeness of Elvis Presley.
In 1997, at the tribute concert marking the 20th anniversary of Elvis' death,
Lisa roused the crowd by presenting a duet video of herself singing,Don't Cry Daddy
with her father. David Foster produced Lisa's performance and new instrumentation
to compliment Elvis' original vocal. The result was stunning.
don't Cry Daddy
was first recorded January 15, 1969, released as a Single.
