“Blue Christmas” – Elvis & Martina McBride Duet on His ’68 Comeback Special

“Blue Christmas” is a classic Christmas song that was first recorded by Ernest Tubb in 1948. However, it was Elvis Presley who made the song popular with his 1957 rendition, which has since become a holiday favorite.

In 2008, as part of a re-release of Elvis’ ’68 Comeback Special, a duet version of “Blue Christmas” featuring Elvis and Martina McBride was released. The duet was created by using Elvis’ original recording and adding new vocals from Martina McBride, who recorded her part separately.

The result is a beautiful and touching rendition of the classic Christmas song. The duet captures the essence of the original while adding a new dimension with McBride’s stunning vocals. It’s a perfect collaboration that showcases the timeless appeal of Elvis’ music and the power of his influence on modern artists.
