MEETING OF THE 'MINDS'
Lisa Marie Presley's love life may be a mess, but she's having
considerably more success as a musical matchmaker. Elvis'
daughter recently met singer-songwriter Pete Yorn at a birthday
party for Johnny Ramone. When Yorn told her he was working on a
cover of the King's "Suspicious Minds," Presley's eyes lit up.
"We started talking and I told her I was doing the song, and she
was like, 'Oh, my God!' I'm gonna call the Sweet Inspirations
and get them to sing on it.'" says Yorn." "I was like, 'Yeah,
right,' but the nest thing you know they're in the studio
singing." The vocal group, which includes Estelle Brown and
Myrna Smith, sang on Elvis' 1969 original, as well as countless
other '60s classics. Yorn says the track probably won't appear
on his upcoming album, tentatively due in April, bit it could
show up as a B side or on a soundtrack. "It turned out great,"
he says. "I owe her one." |
