It will be posted on
Spinner.com along with a transcript of a Lisa Marie Presley interview, who calls the project emotionally stirring.
"We had two hours to lay down my vocals," she says. "So the next morning, I heard the rough ... and ... I've never cried when I've done anything ... ever ... but I just lost it when I heard it.
In the interview, she talks about being offended to see her father's song "Viva Las Vegas" being used in a Viagra commercial.
"I find that revolting," she said. "Some songs we have no control over. I know we didn't license that one."
Proceeds from this new duet will go toward building temporary housing for the homeless in New Orleans and is said to be similar to Presley Place. Presley Place is a 12-unit apartment building for the homeless built in Memphis by Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. in 2001.
It is not the first time a singer has appeared from beyond the grave to give us one more song, but it is the first resurrection of Elvis. Sure to delight his many loyal fans.
