In recent news, Lisa Marie Presley decided to record a duet with her deceased father, in an attempt to feel closer to him.
Keeping in mind
the late singer’s love for gospel music, his daughter was brought
in to record the title track, Where No One Stands Alone, for a new
compilation album.
Lisa recalls that
she was just nine years old when her father, the great rock and roll
legend, Elvis Presley passed away back in 1997. Making the decision
to produce the new album was easy for his daughter as she reminisced
about her earlier years when Elvis would sing the songs to her. Lisa
later confessed that album brought back fond memories of her
childhood, ones that she did not want to forget.
In an interview,
the legend’s daughter revealed that her father had a special
connection with gospel music. It did not matter where he was, or
whatever he was doing, he could be heard crooning the tunes to
himself or to whoever who would listen.
Referring to the
song, Lisa explained that the song has reminded her of happier times
with her father. The memories of her youth have been her rock in
these tough times, as she is forced to explore the waves of grief by
herself.
Though the artist
says that she had prepared herself to go down the memory lane, she
had not expected to break down into a pool of tears. The lyrics about
loneliness in the song, had hit a sensitive nerve causing Lisa to
lose her cool while recording.
Producer Joel
Weinshanker recounted the incident stating that he was surprised to
see Lisa with tears in her eyes as he had never known her to lose her
composure, even for a second. He further added that everyone in the
studio could be seen shedding tears along with the late singer’s
daughter.
Lisa was quite
open about being overwhelmed with the emotions in the song. She
shared that between her battle over custody of her two twin daughters
and divorce with her husband, Michael Lockwood, and a suspected
financial crisis, Lisa has never felt the need for her father’s
guidance more than she does right now.
After separating
from Lockwood in 2016, Lisa admitted to recently being in debt
totaling $16 million as part of divorce proceedings. Furthermore, the
singer continues to fight another lawsuit against Barry Seigel, her
former manager, whom she believes mismanaged her $100 million
fortune.
