When Whitney Houston Met Elvis Presley

Whitney Houston never met Elvis Presley in person, as Elvis passed away in 1977, several years before Whitney Houston rose to fame.

However, there is a recorded instance of Whitney Houston performing a virtual duet with Elvis Presley, which was created using technology that blended Whitney’s vocals with Elvis’s original recording of “I Will Always Love You.”

The virtual duet was produced for the television special “Elvis: The Great Performances” in 1990, which featured a collection of Elvis’s greatest performances and interviews. The special included a segment where Whitney Houston, who was a huge fan of Elvis Presley, discussed her admiration for his music and his influence on her own career.

To showcase Whitney’s love for Elvis, the producers created the virtual duet, which featured Whitney singing the iconic ballad while being backed by Elvis’s original recording. The performance was a hit with fans and further cemented the legacies of both Whitney Houston and Elvis Presley as two of the greatest voices in music history.
