Yes you read that right - Michael Bublé and Elvis Presley feature on a new duet of the King's classic hit Fever.  

The track features on If I Can Dream, a posthumous album from Presley, who died 38 years ago. It is due for release on October 30.

Speaking about lending his voice to Presley’s iconic tune Bublé said: “I do open my show with it. And I always loved it. 

"I think it’s a really incredible sexy, smouldering song . . . For me to do this today is one of the greatest things I’ve ever done. This is a highlight of my career.”

In addition to Bublé's duet, the album features Presley's original vocals with new instrumentation from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on 13 of Presley's classic tracks. 

The late singer's ex-wife, Priscilla Presley said: "This would be a dream come true for Elvis.

"He would have loved to play with such a prestigious symphony orchestra. The music . . . the force that you feel with his voice and the orchestra is exactly what he would have done."

Priscilla had a hand in picking out the songs that made the tracklisting, which were then filled out musically by the RPO. They include well-known songs like Burning Love, How Great Thou Art and Love Me Tender, as well as lesser-known tracks like Steamroller Blues and Neil Diamond's And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind
