The Musical Journey of 'Priscilla': From Elvis Songs to Girlish Fantasies
TL;DR
The film "Priscilla" directed by Sofia Coppola features a soundtrack that includes songs from the Ronettes and the Righteous Brothers, but no Elvis Presley songs due to difficulties obtaining the rights. Music supervisor Randall Poster recreated a few Elvis songs that were in the public domain and used other pop music from the era to enhance the story of Priscilla Beaulieu's relationship with Elvis. The film's instrumental themes were inspired by Elvis, and the final scene features Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You."
