SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Sony BMG is using the magic of the digital age to let Elvis Presley lovers sing Christmas duets with their departed idol and send the songs in electronic holiday greeting cards.
Those wishing to join Elvis in singing "Blue Christmas" can start their recording sessions online at singwiththeking.com.
The website plays visitors a recording of Elvis singing the song with country music star Martina McBride, and then provides visitors with a telephone number to call and take their shot at McBride's part.
