I was 20 when I wrote this piece back in 1995 for The Elvis Beat #12, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.

“Latin is an eternal language, so what better way to immortalize a legend?” asked Professor Jukka Ammondt of Finland. He is the creator of a new CD that contains songs made famous by Elvis performed in Latin by the Eurovision Choir.

Some of the songs featured on the unusual disc are “It’s Now Or Never” (“Nunc hic aut numquam“), “Surrender” (“Nunc aeternitatis“), “Love Me Tender” (“Tenere me ama“), and “Can’t Help Falling In Love” (“Non adamare non possum“).

Presently, the CD has solely been released in Finland, where Latin has a devoted following. Ammondt said the idea for the project came to him in a dream.
