SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - - MySpace Karaoke on Monday invited wannabe kings of rock-and-roll to upload videos of their best Elvis Presley imitations for a shot to perform at Graceland in his memory.

Elvis imitators have through August 4 to upload to http://ksolo.myspace.com videos of themselves singing Presley songs.

A winning performer selected by judges from Elvis Presley Enterprises and MySpace, the world's leading social-networking website, will get to strut their stuff on stage at the icon's former home in Memphis, Tennessee, during the annual Elvis Week.

Elvis Week begins August 9 and features events honoring the legendary artist, who died on August 16, 1977 of heart failure at the age of 42.

"We can't wait to see the talent that comes from this contest," said MySpace Karaoke general manager Nimrod Lev.

The Elvis karaoke king will get to perform with musicians that toured with Elvis from 1969 to 1972 and backed him on a pair of Gospel albums.

While departed, Elvis has an official MySpace page at www.myspace.com/elvis.

"We've been excited about what a great tool this has become to communicate and connect with Elvis fans around the world," said Kevin Kern of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
