Elvis is Back - and his name is Ben!
Actually, its our very own Renaissance Man, former senior editor of Rolling Stone, author, TV and radio broadcaster Ben Fong-Torres, and what a voice!
Ben launches AsianConnections new video channel with a tribute to Elvis. Perfect timing since the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death is coming up August 16.
Ben's singing Treat Me Nice with some custom lyrics at Yet Wah in San Francisco filmed for one of his Emmy award winning annual Chinese New Year Parade telecasts on KTVU-TV.
