This virtual arrangement has Johnny Cash and Hank Williams accompanying Elvis. Elvis sings this song so well, I couldn't cut any of his parts. Instead, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams join the gospel choir backing Elvis and add some harmonies.
Had they all met in real life, I believe this is a song they would have been likely to perform together. Elvis and Cash just missed singing this together with the million dollar quartet, but Cash left beforehand during the session, and Elvis sang it with just Jerry Lee and Carl Perkins.
A few notes:
* Elvis was left unchanged in his original tempo and key of D
* Johnny Cash has a few versions, I used his version in key of A and moved around the notes to create a lower harmony.
* Hank Williams has version in key of C and E, but not D :(., I moved the notes around to create harmonies in some places and to match the main melody in others.
As always, let me know in the comments what you love, what I could improve, etc.
