When Elvis recorded with Jerry lee Lewis duet of little queenie?
Asked by Wiki User
Ok! Here it is: the guy with Elvis' voice we listen in duet with Jerry Lee Lewis IS a fake!!! His name is Orion (!!!) and he's pretty contemporary to us, doubling Elvis very far away from the 50's hits recorded by Jerry. Oh, boy!!! Good question!!! I've recently downloaded a whole album titled simply "Elvis Presley & Jerry Lee Lewis", featuring, apart of Little Queenie, also Be Bop a Lula, Cold Cold Heart, Good Golly Miss Molly, Old Black joe, Save The Last dance For Me, Sweet Little Sixteen. Is it real or just a joke??? Elvis's voice looks really fake and I got no clue through the web about such meeting.
