If I could magically bring one musician from the past back to life, it would be Elvis Presley. His voice gives me chills every time I hear it.
The King left us too soon, but his greatness will live on for many generations to come.
I still try to put on some of Elvis’ music, sit back, and enjoy – at least once a week. I’ve heard most of his songs by now – but every now and then I discover a hidden gem.
So I was so overjoyed when I found this clip. Some recording genius has mashed together Elvis and Susan Boyle singing the Christmas classic “O Come All Ye Faithful. The song first appeared on her album Home for Christmas, but it’s still giving listeners chills anytime they hear it.
Susan Boyle’s introduction leaves me absolutely speechless. Her ability to convey emotion so nakedly is peerless. Then, when Elvis’ warm baritone streams from the speakers, every single hair on my body stands on end.
All the money earned on this single in the U.S was to be given to the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation.
This clip features not only two of history’s best singers – but also a magical video. Its scenes of children playing carefree reflects exactly what music is all about.
“Duetting with Elvis was beyond my wildest dreams. And now that this is able to raise money and help children is simply fantastic,” Susan said.
