Washington, September 11 (ANI): A duet between late singer Elvis Presley and his daughter Lisa Marie debuted on Oprah Winfrey's daytime show on Monday.

The new version of ballad 'In The Ghetto' has been created using modern technology, and its black and white footage shows the two singers together.

Lisa Marie says that she picked the song, which she recorded with her father to raise funds for charity, very carefully.

"I felt that it had a lot to say and it made a great point. I've been asked for years to do a song with him, by his fans, so it made a lot of sense to do that one," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

A part of proceeds from the sales of the song will be used to support the ongoing New Orleans, Louisiana relief effort, which became clear shortly after Lisa Marie had picked the song.

"I ended up going to New Orleans because the director I wanted was in New Orleans... and as I was going from the airport to go shoot the video, I'm looking at all this abandoned, desolate... place that I was thinking was being repaired," she said.

Lisa Marie admitted that she found working on the two-hour recording session very tough.

She even went on to say that the recording session brought her to tears.

"I don't sing as well as he does... I don't usually get emotional (about this)... so I knew that was something special, that moment," she said. (ANI)
