Lisa Marie Presley

1959年11月。一代搖滾巨星貓王與空軍上尉Joseph Beaulieu14歲女兒Priscilla共墮愛河。1966年，貓王正式向Priscilla求婚，并于1968年誕下兩人的愛情結晶，她就是Lisa Marie Presley。貓王對這個女兒百般寵愛，叫她“小蘋果”。可當“小蘋果”長到4歲的時候，貓王和Pruiscilla離婚了，女兒跟著母親搬了家。又過了5年，貓王去世,“貓王”在1977年過世之后，她便成為遺產主要繼承人，據估計，身價至少1.5億美元。 Lisa Marie Presley從一出生就是所有媒體與貓王迷所注目的焦點，從父母的離異到父親的病逝，她自小便遭受憂郁癥與過度藥物治療之苦，并患有輕微厭食癥，直到與第一任丈夫Danny Keough結婚產下2子之后才逐漸恢復平靜。 莉莎·瑪麗·普萊斯利終于踏上爸爸的腳步，推出她的個人首張專輯《To Whom It May Concern》，發片第一天在美國賣出14多萬張，在全美告示牌排行榜Billboard 200獲得第五名的好成績。 by MacKenzie Wilson As the only child of rock & roll's first and most celebrated star, Lisa Marie Presley had to work extremely hard to establish herself, far away from her famous Father. It was a rough road, but Lisa Marie had the spark and rawness to do it, and to do it on her own terms. Born to Elvis and Priscilla Presley on February 1, 1968, Elvis's only daughter spent the first four years of her life at Graceland, where she was the apple of her father's eye. When her parents split in 1972, Lisa Marie left Nashville with her mother for the suburbs of Los Angeles, but regularly visited Elvis in Memphis. Music was undoubtedly a big part of her life; Elton John, David Cassidy and some of Elvis' softer songs were her favorites. Having music around allowed Lisa Marie an escape. The tension between the two households and the geographic distance was emotionally taxing for a young girl; such stress came to a head on August 16, 1977, when her father died after an apparent drug overdose. The decade that followed showed an aggressive young lady that lacked direction and discipline. Lisa Marie meddled in drugs during her teenage years, while listening to Devo and the Sex Pistols. At age 18, she left drugs behind and began following Scientology. She began writing songs, but the process proved nerve-racking. Aware of the pressures of being Elvis Presley's daughter, she didn't pursue a songwriting career, spending time instead beginning a family; she married her longtime boyfriend, Danny Keough, in 1988, and during the six-year marriage had two children. Soon after that marriage dissolved, she confirmed that she had tied the knot with Michael Jackson. After three years of media scrutiny, Presley grew exhausted and divorced Jackson in 1997. A chance meeting with producer Glen Ballard motivated Presley to give music another try. Ballard was impressed with her dark, luckless melodies and coordinated a deal with Capitol. Although her debut album was initially slated for a 2000 release, it didn't appear for another three years. In the meantime, Presley had begun another tumultuous relationship, with actor Nicolas Cage; the couple married in mid-2002 but split just three months later. Finally, in spring 2003, Capitol released her debut album, To Whom It May Concern. Deeply personal, edgy and furious, the record displayed a side of Lisa Marie that was both smart and brash. She wasn't interested in living up to her Father's legacy in the eyes of others because she was comfortable with her own. To Whom It May Concern sold 140,000 copies during its first week of release in April. It was also one of the year's highest debuts with its number five position on Billboard. 更多>>
