This is actually the "Duets" LP, released in December 1978, minus 2 tracks, "Am I To Be The One" & "Sail Away." It didn't chart on Billboard.
This LP certainly generated controversy, as it contains Orion, aka Jimmy Ellis, who overdubbed vocals on all these original early '60s cuts Jerry did for Sun sometime in 1978.
Sun Records owner Shelby Singleton had him don a mask about a year after Elvis died, causing some people to think he was actually Elvis. His voice also sounded remarkably like Elvis.
Two singles from this LP, with Orion's overdubbed 1978 vocals, actually charted on the country charts. "Save The Last Dance For Me" went top 30 at #26 C&W, while "Cold, Cold Heart" made #84 C&W. By the way, both of these songs were released as 1961 A-sides by Jerry Lee, yet they didn't chart at that time.
Later, in December 1979, another album overdubbed by Orion came out on Sun entitled "Trio Plus." The trio was Jerry Lee, Carl Perkins, & Charlie Rich.
The original vocals & backing tracks were left intact, the only new (1979) sounds were Orion's vocals. Again, it didn't chart. "Be Bop A Lula," "Good Rockin' Tonight," & "Money" were originally on this album.

Elvis Presley's Forgotten Children - The National Enquirer 2 year worldwide investigation

The National Enquirer reported on January 8th that Elvis Presley "supposedly" fathered SEVEN children aside from his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley now 47. The gossip magazine claims they have conducted an exhaustive two-year worldwide investigation into Elvis’ missing family. And the astonishing findings have been verified by DNA tests, birth certificates, personal correspondence, check receipts and witness testimony! The Enquirer goes on to "supposedly" reveals the names and details of Elvis’ lost boys and girls. 1987 book  In MY PERSONAL OPINION, with over 26 years in the Elvis World, I personally DO NOT believe any of this! It's laughable.There are some names in this "bombshell" report that many long time fans will recognize from past scandals. Remember Lucy de Barbin and her daughter Desiree ? They published the book, Are You Lonesome Tonight? in 1987. Here's what the Enquirer says about this supposed "love child", ...

Did Linda Thompson cheat on Elvis Presley with his own band member?

Image
Linda Thompson acknowledges that she was fully aware Elvis Presley was seeing other women during their time together. For years, there has been talk that Linda, herself stepped out on Elvis with his own band member. In her book, A Little Thing Called Life, Linda dances around the subject quite cleverly. She acknowledges being sick and tired of watching Elvis sleep all day and the cheating. She talks about one day she finally left Elvis sleeping and went out during the day. It was then that she developed a friendship with Elvis' keyboard player, David Briggs. Linda admits to being attracted to David. But she says they did NOT start dating until AFTER Elvis and her relationship ended. Although through the years, others have said differently including David Briggs. Including Larry Geller catching the couple having a candle light dinner at 3 AM! David Briggs gave an interview to Alanna Nash and said he never thought Elvis would let a woman come between them. Charming, hu...
