Dolly Parton is to co-star in an advert with Elvis Presley. The country singer has been paired up with the late music legend for a commercial promoting their home state of Tennessee, in the US.
The chart topping music icons - who have notched up 43 number ones between them - will be shown riding together in a red convertible car through the wizardry of computer technology. The scene, which is taken from Presley's 1967 movie 'Clambake', sees original actress Shelly Fabares replaced by the busty star. In the advert, Parton says: "I've played a lot of stages over the years, but there's one I never get tired of that's set for a great time day or night - Tennessee."
Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen is positive the project will benefit the state. He said: "The idea behind the commercial is to bring together two international stars that symbolize Tennessee's unparalleled musical history. The commercial is a positive, energetic and unforgettable celebration of Tennessee's past, present and future."
