Lisa Marie has stepped back into the studio with her father for the forth time, helping to set forth a new collaboration, "Where No One Stands Alone," featuring vocal contributions from music legends such as, Darlene Love; Cissy Houston, Terry Blackwood, Armond Morales and Jim Murray of The Imperials; and Bill Baize, Ed Hill, Donnie Sumner and Larry Strickland of The Stamps Quartet. These great talents will join Elvis, enhancing the original track vocals, resulting in a very special treat to our ears--more Elvis gospel!
As a special extra Lisa will again take up the mic and join her father on a reimagined version of "Where No One Stands Alone." All of us here at Blue Suede Connection cannot be more excited for this release on Aug 10th, and we hope that the experience was an uplifting and healing one for Lisa, as she has had her share of trials over the last very years. Every little girl needs her Daddy and Elvis would have loved to have had her by his side; in the studio singing the music he loved.
"He seemed to be at his most passionate, and at peace while singing gospel. He would truly come alive--whether he was singing just for himself and me at home, or on stage in front of thousands of fans." - Lisa Marie Presley
Gospel music was Elvis' first passion, musically. He loved the old spirituals he grew up with as well as the up and coming contemporary Christian music, which we feel he would have fully supported had he lived long enough to see it as it is today; main stream and popular. In fact, some say, he helped that movement along with songs like "I've Got Confidence," on the He Touched Me album in 1972. Elvis was always blazing trails, even when he wasn't trying to.
Here at Blue Suede Connection we have joined up with Amazon's Associate program and have been granted the rights to add a link to this wonderful CD on our website, as well as other deserved Elvis items we ourselves have enjoyed and supported over the years. It's a win-win! Every purchase earns BSC a few extra dollars, as a kick back, to help with our operating costs and we get the chance to showcase such great work like "Where No One Stands Alone." Who would have thought our website could be a one stop Elvis shopping mall? (Yes, we're excited!)
So, mark your calendar, the CD's release date is set for Aug 10th! And yes, we will be showcasing this CD real soon on Blue Suede Connection! Stay tuned for the air date.
Mean while TCB/TLC Elvis style.
