Keyboard is at the job, so probably can't do it til the weekend. I do a lot of Elvis songs, but never have done this one. Great song, can't believe I missed it.

Can't wait to hear your version Don looking forward to it I'm a patient man. I know you will kill it for sure, ... meanwhile I will start to look for an appropriate style &/or backings for it too. I hope a few others will join in with their versions also.

It's a lovely song, and I really like the Elvis & Helene duet.
Thanks for posting Donny. cool
It's amazing what modern technology can do when mastered by skilled people.

Found this 'live' duet version, and thought I would share it:

Zuki....give it a try, I know you will do it justice on the pa4x.
Hoping for Gary, & Tony M, Fran, Col, etc, and others to give it a shot & join in also...song seems easy enough. Just make believe you had to learn it for someones Anniversary affair, etc,..
any way you like using styles or SMF, etc...

Not for me, Donny. This is a great song for a power singer, which I am absolutely not. However, it only took me about two minutes to find an appropriate style for this song in my PSR-S950. The Southern Gospel style with a tempo of 81 nails this song perfectly for Yamaha users that wish to perform it.

Good luck,

Gary cool

Kool Gary would love top hear a demo of that yammy style...I vaguely remember it on my S970....Roland doesn't have much in that genre but I am still looking.
