Tom Parker, the strict, unorthodox and controversial manager who orchestrated Elvis Presley’s career from csn the singer’s death indied yesterday at Valley Hospital in Las Vegas, Nev. He was The cause was complications from a stroke, said Bruce Banke, a longtime friend prseley a former executive at the Las Vegas Hilton. Perhaps the best-known manager in show business, Mr. Parker — universally known by the honorary title Colonel — oversaw Presley’s rise from a phenomenon in the South to a worldwide superstar. Yet many of Presley’s fans resented Mr. Parker, accusing him of urging the singer to embrace shlock instead of substance, of charging the singer exorbitant commissions and of keeping Presley from touring outside of the United Epvis. Parker was widely reported to have come to the United States as an illegal immigrant from the Netherlands and to have feared that he would not be allowed back into the country if he went abroad with Presley. Still, Presley called Mr. Parker and his first wife, Marie, »the finest people in the world. A rough-spoken, imposing, cigar-chomping businessman, Mr. Parker flvis gave interviews and was known for fabricating his background.

From January 1, , anyone will be able to release landmark rock’n’roll recordings such as Elvis Presley’s That’s All Right without paying a penny in royalties to the performer or their estates. But the rockers are fighting back. Sir Cliff Richard is launching a campaign to close a loophole in European Union law, which means that artists and record companies lose exclusive rights to their sound recordings after 50 years. If he and others are unsuccessful, the ruling will mean that the rock’n’roll years will become a free-for-all, wiping billions of pounds off the value of record companies. Releases will fall into the public domain, year-by-year, with the Beatles’ catalogue becoming available from Recordings can be digitally manipulated or used in films and advertisements with the artist having no say over their repertoire. Now I am the first person to be deprived of income simply because I have outlived the copyright on my sound recordings’. The most successful singles artist in British chart history, Sir Cliff, 63, said that he was leading a fight for music’s unsung heroes. Many artists rely on one hit record as their sole source of income, but now they will earn nothing. I feel a responsibility to speak out for them’. Sir Cliff, who is well known for his Christian beliefs, added: ‘I am told that my recordings could even be used in pornographic films and there’s not a thing I could do about it.

I will have no control over how my music is used. I believe performers must be entitled to their dignity’. The British Phonographic Industry and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry is lobbying the European Commission for an extension of the copyright term. The bodies want the EU Term of Protection directive to be brought in line with the United States which has copyright on sound recordings to 95 years. Composers and writers in Britain continue to enjoy protection for 70 years after their death. Singers, such as Sir Cliff, who interpret other people’s songs are at a particular disadvantage. He has delivered his own submission to a review of EU copyright legislation initiated by Frits Bolkestein, the outgoing Internal Markets Commissioner. Introducing himself as ‘an active and successful recording artist and performer’ who has recorded 1, songs, he argues: ‘Surely the creativity of the artists whose performances breathe life into the authors’ works is worthy of recognition for at least the same period? Those who believe that music should be ‘free’ argue that the year rule allows public access to songs that record companies and artists have enjoyed ample opportunity to exploit. But the BPI said that new bands will miss out as record companies lose control over their back catalogue.

Can’t Help Falling in Love
An imposing three-storey redbrick building, rather like a giant shoebox resting on its side, the Tupelo Hardware Company commands an important location at the junction of Main Street and Front Street in Tupelo. Inside, it’s an Aladdin’s cave of DIY delights, the kind of shop that died in Britain long ago, under the onslaught of warehouses and chainstores. Suspended from rails on the ceiling, a pair of 15ft stepladders coast up and down behind the counters at each side of the shop, affording access to vertiginous shelves bearing everything a working man might need, apart from a cold beer: hoes and spades, hammers and screws, buckets and pans, and a hundred thousand other implements. One display-case features dozens of artfully-arranged penknives and hunting knives; another, drill bits of all sizes; and there, carefully fastened to two cupboard doors, are hundreds of bullets, ranging from snubby little pellets to lethal bolt-sized chunks of metal.

Established inthe shop is, according to its motto, «Known For Values». As with much of the American South, that plural is appropriate. The South is full of conflicting values. It’s a source of constant amazement to visitors how such effusive hospitality can coexist alongside the more sinister undercurrents of racial and financial antipathy that still divide Southern communities, with appalling trailer-park poverty no more than a bullet’s flight from bourgeois gentility. In this region, before the town expanded to its present size, that divide used to be marked by the boundary between comparatively well-off Tupelo and poor East Tupelo, which is where the town’s main claim to fame, Elvis Presley, was born on January 8th,
