RADIO M80 INTERVIEWS CÉLIA CARVALHO AND FRANCISCO PEÇAS

Shortly after 10:00 a.m., right after the news report, Radio M80 mentioned Elvis’s 80th Birthday and we could hear Célia Carvalho (president of Elvis 100%) speaking about the importance Elvis had in the crumbling down of social barriers, in a time where black people were cast away in one side and the white people in another, therefore giving a chance to the black music move on. We could also hear Bono Vox, of U2, a big Elvis fan, saying, “Elvis, the genius, Elvis, the generous, forgive us, Elvis, pray for us, Elvis”. Francisco Peças, an Elvis tribute artist in our country, was also interviewed and he mentioned visiting the mansion of the King to the sound of Welcome to My World, a very moving experience. They ended up by congratulating Elvis, with the Happy Birthday song playing in the background.
