Los Angeles, CA -- The man who helped Elvis Presley top the charts 25 years after his death is going to meet his maker -- hit maker, that is.

Junkie XL is the music producer who put dance beats behind an old Presley song, "A Little Less Conversation" and turned it into a No. 1 worldwide hit for the King and the theme for the NBC series, "Las Vegas."

The 36-year-old musician never met the King but they'll soon be closer than ever. Junkie's planning an East Coast junket and wants to pay his respects at Graceland, where Elvis is buried. In his words, "I hear it's really something."

But while Junkie has brought new life to the King, he doesn't expect to become rich because Elvis' lawyers insist on a piece of the action.

Junkie XL's new CD, "Radio JXL: A Broadcast From The Computer Hell Cabin," features "A Little Less Conversation" along with songs by Chuck D., Dave Gahan and Robert Smith.
