Lisa Marie Duets With Elvis

Lisa Marie Presley is commemorating the 30th anniversary of her father's death by singing along with him. Elvis Presley's only child, who has released two albums of her own, will premiere the video of a posthumous duet with her dad on his classic 'In the Ghetto' Thursday night at the the 30th Anniversary Elvis Presley Tribute Concert in Memphis. Starting on Friday, it will be available for viewing here on Spinner, as well as for purchase on iTunes for a charitable cause near and dear to the Presleys.

The video, directed by Tony Kaye ('American History X'), was shot in New Orleans, and, as Presley tells Spinner, she was so touched by the lingering affects of Hurricane Katrina that she decided to make this video more than just a tribute to her dad.

"I landed there to do the video, and I looked around when I got off the plane ... It looks like Katrina happened six months ago," Presley says. "So, that's when it all fell together."

The duet -- both song and video -- will be available on iTunes for downloading, starting Friday. All proceeds will go toward the building of a Presley Place transitional housing development for underprivileged families in New Orleans.

"Families come in and live there, get their life skills together," Presley explains about the charity her family originally started in Memphis. "They get jobs and then they save their money, and about a year later, they move out when they can get back on their feet. It's something [Elvis] was very interested in, because it's kinda where he started from."

Lisa,
That song was perfect and beautiful. Father and daughter singing together. What a match as planned from the foundations of the
earth!(What should have been)
As a minister reaching out to this generation and growing up and having a love of your father's music, it was clear that Elvis's
spirit was yearning to know more about Jesus and his relationship with him and to be able to reach out to the people and give them the
answer.The only thing that was larger than his talent was his heart...Unconditional love is a precious gift. Though I never met your dad in person, I have personal friends who have worked with him and who he visited, his generous nature his legendary. Never took anyone for granted. There are many in the ministry who was blessed by
him and never knew it. What he did in secret he will be rewarded for in the presence of the Lord. I do not believe he was motivated by
man's praise but sought earnestly the Praises of God. Please continue to help the homeless, feed the hungry and clothe the naked for this
was the fulfillment of the command of Jesus to his disciples in the gospel.
Love and Blessings
Henry

Dear Lisa,
The video with you and your dad was absolutely great. The two in spirit came together (so to say)(unconditional love)which expressed his very heart.I believe your dad's deep hidden desires
will happen through you and your visions will reach this generation.Many people are seeking answers. Just remember as you know, your dad sought to know spiritual truth but was seeking a more defined and rewarding relationship with God and not religion.Elvis had a great voice that captivated people because of his heart that sang into the darkness of the hearts of people and gave them peace.(I believe you have that same heart) That's why his gospel music won awards.It reaches into the depth of the soul.One song would be great to hear you and your dad sing is "IF I CAN DREAM" That one would be great for Presley Place.Also ,GLORY GLORY HALLELUAH.
Please know we are praying for you and Presley Place
Patty

Dear Lisa,
You are a light for this generation. Your father's heart was to bring forth a place that would help the homeless and reeducate them and get them on their feet again. The song you did with your dad was so appropriate and wonderful and your spirit and his came together.
God Bless You with wisdom as you go forth in Presley Place
Pat
