JAKARTA (JP): A 1960s music night is to be held at Hotel
Indonesia in Central Jakarta tomorrow night in commemoration of
the 23th anniversary of legendary singer Elvis Presley's death.

The party, held by Delta Wahana, an entertainment and showbiz
company, is titled History of 60's. It will feature Indonesian
singers impersonating Elvis, Tom Jones, Conny Francis, the
Beatles and the Bee Gees, the organizing committee said
yesterday.

The singers will be accompanied by an orchestra led by Abadi
Soesman, an Indonesian musician well-known in the 1960s.

Hotel Indonesia, the first star-rated hotel in the city, was
chosen as the venue for the party to enable Elvis' fans to meet
old friends and exchange nostalgic memories, the committee said.

The proceeds from the celebration, which is expected to be
attended by several ministers, will be donated to the Indonesian
Asthma Foundation, which is chaired by wife of Public Works
Minister Radinal Moochtar. (hhr)
