Lisa is a close friend of her father's ex-girfriend Linda Thompson. In 2003, after advice from Thompson's record producer and then-husband David Foster, she launched a career as a singer.

Her debut album was called To Whom It May Concern and reached #5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. To promote it she performed in a concert in the UK, something her father never did.

Presley released her second album, Now What, in 2005 and it reached #9 on the Billboard 200.

Presley married her first husband Danny Keough on October 3, 1988.

They had two children together, Danielle Riley (born May 19, 1989) and Benjamin Storm (born October 21, 1992). Presley divorced Keough on May 6, 1994.

On August 10, 2002 she married Nicolas Cage, someone well-known for his Elvis-obsession. They were together for only three months and divorced in 2002 (Cage later remarried).

In 2005 Presley was said to be dating her guitarist, Michael Lockwood.

The story of her parents' life together and her birth and childhood until her father's passing in 1977 was recounted in her mother's 1985 book, Elvis and Me.

KING: Were you very close to your father?

LISA-MARIE PRESLEY: Yes.

KING: It was a daddy-daughter kind of thing?

L.-M. PRESLEY: Yeah, very much.

KING: What was he like as a father?

L.-M. PRESLEY: Very adoring, very sweet. Very -- I mean, I knew that he was crazy about me.

KING: Did you know what he was to the world at 9?

L.-M. PRESLEY: Yeah. You know, in some weird way I definitely got sort of grooved into the whole idea early on. So I don't know how that happened. It just kind of -- it just was -- that was my life. I didn't know any different.

Danny and Lisa Marie's life long friend Charlie Hodge (who was a personal friend and sang harmony with Elvis on stage for five years) believe that Lisa Marie could become a successful recording artist because she has a wonderful singing voice.

"Even as a child, Lisa Marie would sit by the stereo and quietly listen to her father's recordings, over and over again.

She has certainly inherited an ear for music from Elvis. Lisa Marie has a very sharp sense when it comes to music, " says Charlie Hodge. " If she doesn't make it as a singer, she would make a great record producer."

Over and above her ambition to become an actress, Lisa Marie is trying her hand at recording an album in Nashville, in the very studio where her father played his last session in 1971.
