According to Elvis Unlimited rumor has it that an Elvis duets album may be in the works by BMG. The original idea is said to have come from Joe Guercio but another producer took the idea to BMG which crushed Joe Guercio. The concept is said to be Elvis singing primarily with female singers for a Christmas album.

Update July 10, 2008:
The following news is reproduced from an article by Brian Quinn in the July/August Issue of 'Essential Elvis' magazine:
Sony BMG are committed to producing a ‘Duets’ Album and again I am very excited about this. This release, probably in 2009, should be a worldwide smash. It is anticipated that different countries will get different versions featuring their own superstars duetting in their native language with Elvis. We will need to start saving up to buy all the different releases.
In connection with such a project it is felt that a ‘switched on’ contemporary producer of the calibre say of Mark Ronson would be beneficial. Such a person would have access to all suitable artist databases whom he could contact at the touch of a button. I suspect many artists will be falling over themselves to get to duet with The King.
Sony BMG are also interested in producing a ‘Remix’ album but not of the ‘club type’ songs. It would appear they prefer to add new instrumentation to Elvis’ original vocals. The fifties tracks are favoured at this time. Chronologically, the ’Duets’ Album will be the main priority.
EPE announced a Christmas duets CD which is due for release On October 14 2008.The press-release:
SONY BMG Music Entertainment, in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., will release the “Elvis Presley Christmas Duets” CD, which is the first Elvis Presley duet recordings album and the first Christmas compilation of its kind ever produced. This release marks yet another milestone in Elvis Presley’s legacy, 31 years after his death.
The CD will feature many of today’s biggest country artists, including Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Sarah Evans and LeAnn Rimes singing classic Elvis holiday songs with Elvis Presley.
“There has been tremendous excitement from the many artists contributing their voices to these Elvis Christmas classics. We believe Elvis fans will truly enjoy these unique collaborations while introducing Elvis' holiday classics to the many fans of his duet partners,” says Joe Galante, Chairman, SONY BMG Nashville.
In order to create these classic “duets” Sony BMG used the most advanced and sophisticated audio technology available. For songs that were recorded on one track, mono, musical beds were created to perfectly match the instrumentation and arrangements contained on the originals. In the case of songs that have been recorded in multi-track where Elvis' vocal is isolated on a single track, the vocal was simply dropped for a given verse or chorus, making room for the duet artist. To be as faithful as possible to the original recordings, the fabled RCA Studio B in Nashville - the same studio that Elvis recorded the 1971 original Christmas session in, was used.
“This is an excellent example of the innovative ways in which we keep Elvis’ catalog fresh and continue the history of creating, preserving and celebrating great music,” says John Ingrassia, President of the SONY BMG Commercial Music Group.
"We are so pleased that these accomplished artists are collaborating with Elvis in this unique way to make exciting new versions of his Christmas songs. I am sure Elvis would be proud to have worked with them," says Priscilla Presley.
Elvis is one of the biggest-selling artists every holiday season, although he only recorded 20 Christmas songs, his various holiday albums have sold over 25 million copies in the US alone. His existing Christmas releases are seen on the holiday charts year after year.
Partial track listing (not in sequence):
"I'll Be Home For Christmas" with Carrie Underwood
"Blue Christmas" with Martina McBride
"Here Comes Santa Claus" with LeAnn Rimes
"Silent Night" with Sara Evans
"Merry Christmas Baby" with Gretchen Wilson

"White Christmas" with Amy Grant

Sample tracks will be previewed August 14 during Elvis Week 2008 in Memphis at the Elvis Insiders Conference. Sony/BMG and EPE executives will welcome the attendees to be the very first to hear portions of the CD during an exclusive preview and listening party at the Conference in The Cannon Center.
find ich absolut okay. die us-mädels verfügen über tolle stimmen, kommt hoffentlich gut rüber die sache. natürlich keine neue idee (seit dem 92er album von natalie cole mit ihrem vater) aber gut genug um elvis´ namen in den medien ein weiteres mal ein zu zementieren. zumindest aber besser als die hundertste rock n roll compilation.
... immerhin hat sie 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland mit Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi für die Schweiz den Eurovision Song Contest gewonnen !! ...das rechne ich ihr hoch an !!

Es hat noch nie eine reine Duett-CD vom “King of Rock’n'Roll” - Elvis Presley gegeben. Doch das wird sich ab dem 14. Oktober 2008 ändern. Dann erscheint der Silberling “Elvis Presley Christmas Duets”, gefüllt mit den schönsten Weihnachtsliedern. Doch es kommt noch besser: Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Sarah Evans, LeAnn Rimes, Anne Murray, Amy Grant, Karen Fairchild und Kimberly Schlapman (Little Big Town) und Wynonna Judd singen mit dem King im Duett. Wie kann das sein? Im Jahr 1971 stand Elvis Presley im Studio, um ein Weihnachtsalbum einzusingen. Seine Stimme wurde einzeln auf Tonband aufgenommen, ohne Chor, ohne Musik. Das macht sich die heutige Computertechnik zu Nutze. Die oben genannten Sängerinnen haben ihren Part im Studio gesungen und Elvis’ Stimme wurde per Computer zugespielt.
Übrigens: Priscilla Presley gab dieser CD ihren Segen. Sie ist von dem Ergebnis begeistert und meint, dass Elvis stolz auf dieses Album wäre!
