Lisa Marie Presley and dad cut single
Just as Natalie Cole did in 1991, Lisa Marie Presley has recorded a song with her late father.
Cole’s effort was a duet with Nat King Cole on “Unforgettable,” a pairing that proved to be a huge commercial hit and went on to win Grammys as song and record of the year. Hank Williams Jr. also won a Grammy for his 1989 posthumous duet with Hank Sr., “There’s a Tear in My Beer.”
Now Presley has teamed up with papa Elvis on his 1969 track “In the Ghetto.” One of the producers was David Foster, who also produced “Unforgettable.”
“In the Ghetto” went on sale at iTunes Friday, with all profits going to Presley Place, a program designed to help the homeless.
There is also a video that features Elvis performing in Las Vegas in August 1970 -- when his daughter, now 39, was 2.
