The US division of independent publisher Imagem Music has announced a deal to represent the Elvis Presley publishing catalogue on a worldwide basis.

The 1000+ song Elvis Presley Music/Gladys Music catalogue is co-owned by CKX subsidiary Elvis Presley Enterprises (in which Lisa Marie Presley still has a stake) and the families of late music publishing giants Jean and Julian Aberbach. Including songs like ‘All Shook Up’, ‘Love Me Tender’ and ‘A Little Less Conversation’, it’s a catalogue that enjoys good sync business as well as record sale and public performance income.

Confirming the deal, Elvis Presley Enterprises CEO Jack Soden told reporters: “We are grateful that Elvis created such a significant amount of music during his lifetime. It’s impressive how it continues to resonate with people around the world as new generations discover the king of rock n roll”.

Meanwhile André de Raaff and Richard Stumpf, respectively CEO and US President for Imagem, said in a joint statement: “Elvis Presley defines rock n roll, and his songs are loved all over the world. We are thrilled and honoured to represent such a legendary body of work on a global basis, where we will ensure the songs are promoted and managed in a manner suitable for The King”.
