Dolly, Elvis ride together for tourism

In a new TV commercial promoting Tennessee tourism, a dashing young Elvis Presley drives his red convertible Corvette Stingray in a clip from his 1967 film ?Clambake.?

But this time, the bouffant blonde riding in shotgun has a familiar Appalachian twang. Music icons Dolly Parton and Presley appear together in a digital insertion that marks what Tennessee officials say is the first time Presley has digitally appeared with a celebrity in a commercial.

?It?s like a dream team for Tennessee tourism,? said Susan Whitaker, the state?s tourism development commissioner.

?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,? Parton says before an announcer chimes in over scenes of Graceland, the Great Smoky Mountains and other Tennessee attractions.
