If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is a remarkable new album featuring classic Elvis vocal performances with brand-new orchestral accompaniment, along with a duet with Michael Bublé on Fever.
An exciting revisit of Elvis’ work, ‘If I Can Dream’ focuses on the iconic artist’s unmistakable voice, emphasising the pure power of The King of Rock and Roll. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, the 14-track album features Elvis’ most dramatic original performances augmented with lush new arrangements by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. “This would be a dream come true for Elvis,” Priscilla Presley says of the project. “He would have loved to play with such a prestigious symphony orchestra. The music…the force that you feel with his voice and the orchestra is exactly what he would have done.”

The best singer that's ever walked the face of the earth in my opinion.
Don't like all the changes but worth it just for the subtle changes to the title track; superb.

Not an Elvis fan either but heard a track on the radio yesterday...loved the orchestrations and sounds so fresh and now. May have to get this.

Its a great album. Couple of strange additions (like Michael Buble) but for £2.99 its a steal.

If you have amazon prime apparently this is free...going to sound a bit thick here but no idea how amazon prime music works as only just started out with prime but saw it come up on item page for the CD with total of 0.00 for prime users so have added it to my library and don't seem to have been charged anything for it.

Im presuming you are a prime member. If so, then you need the amazon prime music app, I have the android version on my phone, you can get it for iphone, windows etc. Just download that, sign in with your amazon account and the king will be there to listen to on your device. You can also download songs and albums direct to your device for streaming offline which is good in theory but lately has become a pain
