A curious record, not really done by Jerry Lee Lewis, because the new owner of Sun-Records Shelby Singleton, choses some old recorded SUN-Material by Jerry Lee Lewis and put it together with new (from 1978) vocal contributions by Jimmy Ellis (populary known as ORION). So he created some artifical duets for that record. It had been released one year after Elvis Presleys death,so that record caused a Sensation in the late Seventies. Shure, Orions voice sounded similar identical like Elvis´voice and he released some own records with Rock-n-Roll and Country-music.
