Sir Cliff Richard Wants A Cliff And Elvis 'Duets' Album
Sir Cliff Richard would like to record a Cliff and Elvis 'Duets' Album and has already contacted EPE but they appear to have turned it down. He even has the album cover ready. To hear Cliff talk about this and other matters please go to the following URL: http://blogs.abc.net.au/wa/2012/11/sir-cli...-breakfast.html Personally, I cannot see him ever getting permission for a whole album, however, he may be one of the artists likely to be featured on the rumoured 'Elvis Duets' Album which is still being considered.

Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) On Elvis' Voice
From a recent interview with Ian Gillan of group Deep Purple. How do you define a rock singer? Who in your opinion is the greatest? It’s all very different; I don’t think it’s a science but if you were ask me who had the greatest voice in rock music of all time I would have to say a young Elvis Presley, without a doubt. He was the Pavarotti of rock music. I remember listening to Dame Kiri Te Kanawa a few years ago on the BBC and the presenter asked her who she thought was the greatest voice she had ever heard. I was expecting her to say something like Caruso, Joan Sutherland or Pavarotti, but she said the young Elvis. He touched us all, he got through to us, his personality. Technically he was perfect, his pitch and tone were absolutely wonderful and his sense of rhythm, something came deep inside him that literally did touch us all. That’s a secret of greatness.
