Christmas at Graceland (NBC Special)

Postby HillbillyCat » Thu Sep 07, 2023 11:25 pm

Finally, a NBC Elvis Christmas Special is coming! Is this the late triumph for the Snowman? :lol:

From nbc.com:
Elvis' Granddaughter Riley Keough is Executive Producing a Graceland Christmas Special

Elvis Presley's legacy is being honored by NBC this holiday season.

This November, NBC will air a live music special, Christmas at Graceland. The hour-long special will feature A-list musicians playing The King of Rock 'n' Roll's music at his beloved home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. The performers have yet to be announced, but check back here on NBC Insider in the coming months for updates.

When will Christmas at Graceland premiere on NBC?
Christmas at Graceland will air on NBC on Wednesday, November 29 at 10 p.m ET/PT.

Riley Keough's connection to the special
The Daisy Jones and the Six star is Presley's granddaughter — the oldest child of his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, who died in January 2023. Keough is the executive producer of the upcoming special.

“My family and I are elated to open the doors to Graceland in this first-of-its-kind special,” the actress said in a press release. “With intimate musical performances drawing inspiration from my grandfather Elvis’s cherished Christmases in Memphis, viewers will be invited to experience firsthand the magic that is Christmas at Graceland.”

How do I watch Christmas at Graceland
The special will be available for streaming at the same time on Peacock. It will air immediately after NBC's historic annual Christmas at Rockefeller Center event.

What to know about Christmas at Graceland on NBC
Jen Neal, executive vice president of live events and specials at NBCUniversal Media Group, added: “To celebrate the holidays at Graceland, and be a part of the King’s legacy, is both an honor and absolute dream come true,” said . “We thank Riley and her family for allowing all of us to visit her grandfather’s iconic home and share an intimate musical experience that Elvis would’ve truly loved.”

Oh, the 'take over' of the UK 100 Top Singles Chart starts in November !

In 2022, on 26th November, the No.94 was - All I Want For Christmas is You - Mariah Carey

Been reading up on this Xmas Special thing at Graceland.

The performers involved are to be announced closer to the date, but are we going to get anything from Elvis ?

The UK charts also gave Mr. Blobby a christmas number one so it can't be quoted as an authority on anything.

This is bloody awful. I don't mind duets done well, but this is a travesty. How could they let this be released?

I doubt it.

But he was the first black star in country music, many, many moons ago.

Yes, I looked him up.

Funny enough I got my old harmonica out a few days ago. I've had it years but have never mastered it. This time, I thought I have to learn it.
