Lisa Marie Presley Records New Duet With Dad Elvis

A new duet of Where No One Stands Alone with Elvis and his daughter Lisa Marie Presley has just been released.

This is the first time in almost 10 years that Lisa Marie Presley was involved in an Elvis recording project. It was recorded for the Elvis Presley re-imagined Gospel album, Where No One Stands Alone, which is released today (Friday, 10th August).

Where No One Stands Alone celebrates the power and passion of Elvis Presley’s gospel recordings. Produced by Joel Weinshanker, Andy Childs and Lisa Marie Presley, the album features Elvis’ most treasured performances of inspirational songs with newly recorded instrumentation and backing vocals.

"This was the music he was most passionate about. He was so at peace singing gospel songs. I’m especially blessed to have duetted w/him on one of the songs," Lisa wrote earlier this weeks on Twitter.

Backing vocalists include members of gospel and vocal groups that shared the stage with him, including Darlene Love; Cissy Houston; Terry Blackwood, Armond Morales and Jim Murray of The Imperials; and Bill Baize, Ed Hill and Larry Strickland of The Stamps Quartet.

“Since I was two years old,” Elvis Presley once said, “all I knew was gospel music. It became such a part of my life, it was as natural as dancing. A way to escape my problems, and my way of release.”

I’m so excited to share ‘Where No One Stands Alone,’ an album I’ve co-produced celebrating my Father’s love of gospel music. This was the music he was most passionate about.

It was gospel music that most ferociously stoked his musical passions, even as his unique synthesis of country, popular and rhythm and blues styles made him an idol to millions around the world. Friends and family would often recall hearing Elvis sing gospel tunes at home and to warm up before concerts.
