When Lisa Marie Presley was just nine years old, the world lost her dad, the legendary Elvis Presley. Though it’s been decades since his passing, the singer and songwriter still feels a deep connection to her father. In a heartfelt interview promoting her new duet with Elvis, titled “Where No One Stands Alone,” Lisa Marie, now 50, revealed that she often turns to her dad for guidance in life’s most challenging moments.
“I don’t necessarily talk to him in the traditional sense, but I hold onto every memory we shared. It’s like I can pull out these mental files whenever I need them. And sometimes, I do ask for help. That’s exactly what happened while working on this record. I felt a guiding presence, almost as if a hand reached down to me,” Lisa Marie explained during an appearance on the UK talk show Lorraine. It’s moments like these that remind her of the enduring bond between father and daughter.

Recording a New Duet With Elvis: An Emotional Journey
Recording the duet version of Elvis’ gospel song “Where No One Stands Alone” was an emotional experience for Lisa Marie. The track appears on Elvis’ latest posthumous album of the same name. Lisa Marie shared the challenges of balancing emotion with professionalism during the recording process.
“Singing and crying doesn’t mix well. It’s hard to hit those notes when you’re overwhelmed. I had to keep my composure, but I felt so connected to him through the music. It was like he was right there with me in the studio,” she revealed. The song serves as a powerful tribute to their shared legacy and the love that continues to bind them across time.
A Look Back at Lisa Marie's Life With Elvis
Lisa Marie was born to Elvis and his wife, Priscilla Presley, in February 1968. Tragically, her father’s life was cut short when he passed away at the age of 42 after suffering a heart attack in August 1977. Despite the loss, Lisa Marie continues to discover new aspects of her father’s personality and fatherhood through unexpected moments.
During her appearance on Lorraine, Lisa Marie recounted stumbling upon a touching quote from her dad. “As I was leaving the new Graceland exhibit, there was this quote on the wall that said, ‘Becoming a father is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.’ I’d never seen it before. It was the first time I came across it, and it really resonated with me. It was such a beautiful reminder of how much he cherished being a dad,” she shared.
