The duet never happened. I am old now and remember reading the report in the Melody Maker of Billy's report of his one and only meeting with Elvis. He said that Elvis was in a hurry but was polite and friendly. I am sure that he would have mentioned them singing and recording together.
this had to be done when billy fury visited elvis on the set of girls, girls,girls,girls. not sure if the ging was on it though because billy drowned out the kings voice. I would need to be more convinced
good try but sadly two versions put together ,and @195477 ,Elvis was not FAR superior to Billy ,Elvis was and always will be the guy who really started it all off big time,Billy Fury however was a most under rated singer and songwriter ,who had talent in abundance ,and as an elvis fan and a billy fury fan I would never put one down at the expense of the other. two kings together.
Two beautiful talented artists. Love this. Thanks for posting. Great idea they should have sung together when they met up in Hollywood. It would have been something!! RIP BILLY . RIP ELVIS.
Billy sung his fantastic version with a bit more power and growl, Elvis sung his fantastic version a lot softer with less bite......2 awesome singers 2 awesome versions, sadly this mix don't quite hit it right, sounds like they are not in sync enough to carry it off...sorry, nice attempt though

@spooky31ful - I think it was the other way round, it was an Elvis song
from the film Girls Girls Girls, and Fury done a cover version.
I'm a big Elvis fan but have to say I think the Billy Fury version is the best.
