It's very creative and a unique concept as well as a lovely thing for classical artists to do for the memory of the King of Rock and Roll. I think Elvis would be touched. I don't even think he'd shoot the TV if this was on, lol. It's not my kind of singing, but I think it's a wonderful idea that probably exposes people -who maybe had dismissed him or didn't care for his style and prefer classical music- to some of the music he gave us. And it's Canadian. Awesome!
