Susan Boyle records Elvis Presley 'duet' for Christmas album

Published Sunday, Sep 8 2013, 9:33am EDT | By Colin Daniels |

Susan Boyle has recorded a duet with Elvis Presley.

The Britain's Got Talent star's producers used digital technology to combine her vocals with those of the late singer, who died in 1977.

The track, Christmas carol 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful', will feature on Boyle's fifth studio album Home For Christmas.

"To put a unique twist on classic Christmas songs is truly wonderful," Boyle told the Sunday People.

"I grew up listening to Elvis and to sing with him, well, I didn't think it would be possible. Isn't technology brilliant? The track is for my father - and for Elvis."

Boyle's festive record Home For Christmas is due to be released on November 25.

Scottish spinster Susan Boyle became a global phenomenon in April 2009 with her stunning rendition of 'I Dreamed A Dream' on the third series of Britain's Got Talent. Her powerful, elegant vocals proved a stunning contrast to her plain appearance and her triumphant performance soon went viral, clocking up over 120 million views on YouTube by the end of the year. Despite the whirlwind of media attention surrounding her, Boyle ultimately finished as runner-up in the competition and checked into the priory upon the show's completion, claiming to be "exhausted and emotionally drained". However, her loss and subsequent personal problems failed to tarnish Su-Bo's popularity, as her debut album I Dreamed A Dream sold over 9 million copies within six weeks and became the fastest selling and most successful debut album by a female artist in the UK. In November 2010, Boyle released a second, Christmas-themed album entitled The Gift and became one of only three artists ever to top both the UK and US album charts twice in the same year.
