Elvis hit writer delighted at No 1 success

The man who wrote Elvis Presley's new number one says he's delighted by its success.

And he says Elvis would have been thrilled to see it being enjoyed by a new generation.

The JXL remix of A Little Less Conversation has taken over at the top of the UK singles chart.

Billy Strange, who co-wrote the song with Mac Davis, told The Sun: "Elvis would have been 67 this year. I've got great memories of him and I'm proud my song is making young kids admire him all over again.

"I never dreamed that our work together would be resurrected. But I am very, very pleased and proud of its staying power.

"It would have been a special delight for Elvis. He would have been thrilled to bits."
