 NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - The recent release of Elvis Presley's three-song charity single " America The Beautiful" has placed the "King" back on the chart. Since its release five weeks ago, " America The Beautiful" has steadily climbed the Billboard singles sales chart. This week, the patriotic single, which includes the titular track plus " If I Can Dream" and "Amazing Grace," holds the Number Six position on the chart. Released on October 16 by RCA Records, 100 percent of the proceeds from the sales of the CD single will benefit the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. "If I Can Dream" was recorded live at the Elvis '68 Comeback Special, "America The Beautiful" was recorded live in December 1975 at the Las Vegas Hilton, and "Amazing Grace" was recorded in March 1971.
