Being able to say you have a duet with Elvis Presley sounds like a dream come true.
Amazingly, Susan Boyle was able to โcollaborateโ with the King โ only it was in a very unique way.
Fans around the world were given a glorious gift when Boyle combined talents with Presley for a rendition of โO Come, All Ye Faithful.โ
The song appeared on her album โHome for Christmas,โ and itโs still giving listeners chills anytime they hear it.
Susan Boyle made her break into the music industry after appearing on โBritainโs Got Talent.โ
During her audition, she had jaws dropping the moment she began to sing, โI Dreamed a Dream.โ
Although Boyle didnโt take home the BGT crown that season, sheโs had a successful singing career ever since. The songstress has sold millions of albums worldwide and is recognized for her angelic voice.
With a voice so heavenly itโs no surprise that Boyle brings charm to every Christmas tune she sings.
More than 35 years after his passing, Boyle released a posthumous duet with the late Elvis Presley.
Metro reported that she received permission from Priscilla for the project.

The goal of the musical fusion wasnโt just for Boyleโs success.
In fact, the single was created with all the proceeds (outside of the U.S.) going to the Save the Children Fund.
Boyle, who was one of the charityโs global ambassadors, said:
โDuetting with Elvis was beyond my wildest dreams. And now that this is able to raise money and help children is simply fantastic.โ
The Scottish singer filmed the music video for โO Come, All Ye Faithfulโ at a Glasgow school.
She enjoyed all the time she got to spend with the children.
In an interview with Save The Children, Boyle shared:
โIโve had the privilege of spending time with families from a FAST programme, Families & Schools Together, that is run at a school in Glasgow. To see the money raised in action and the difference it makes to these families is wonderful. It really does help people.
She continued:
โThe children from the FAST programme also joined me for the music video, we had a lovely two days and the children were fabulous. They were all stars!โ
As for all the money earned on the single in the U.S., it was to be given to the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation.
Get ready to fall in love with Susan Boyle and The Kingโs duet of the Christmas classic.
The two artists share the lyrics to the song as children in the video prepare for a Christmas pageant.
While there are signs of it being a nativity scene โ there are also kids dressed in various other costumes too.
Thereโs one child, in particular, that canโt be missed. A little boy is dressed up in a white suit, sunglasses, and is carrying a guitar.
Heโs the videoโs own โElvis Presley.โ
Near the end of the rendition, Boyleโs singing by herself on the stage of the school auditorium.
Thatโs when little Elvis walks out and stands right beside her, creating a powerful moment.
Eventually, all of the children take the stage with Boyle at the very end of the performance.
The entire scene combined with the song is enough to pull on your heartstrings.
This stunning cover of โO Come, All Ye Faithfulโ has earned over 1.7 million views on YouTube for good reason.
