A new Elvis Presley album titled Where No One Stands Alone has been announced.

Released on August 10 on CD, digital download, vinyl and cassette, the gospel collection features 12 tracks with newly recorded instrumentation and backing vocals from some of the collaborators Elvis worked with in his lifetime.

Donnie Sumner, Bill Baize, Ed Hill and Larry Strickland, members of The King's longtime backup group, The Stamps, are involved in the project, as are Cissy Houston - mother of Whitney and who sung with Elvis in 1969 - and Darlene Love, who took to the stage with Elvis on his 1968 NBC TV special.

The title track will be a reimagined duet with Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie, who has a deep connection with the track.

"It was a very powerful and moving experience to sing with my father," wrote Lisa Marie in her notes for the album. "The lyrics speak to me and touch my soul. I’m certain that the lyrics spoke to my father in much the same way."

Elvis Presley has notched up an incredible 21 UK Number 1 singles, and 13 UK Number 1 albums, more than any other solo artist. Click here to view Elvis Presley's UK chart history.

Elvis Presley is the only singer that has ever sang a gospel song written by an African American musician in front of a television audience of 50 million. That event took place on January 6, 1957, at the Ed Sullivan Show. During the rehearsals, that same afternoon, Sullivan told him he was against his decision to include it, but Presley's vision prevailed. He had promised his mother he'd sing at least one gospel song that night. An added value to the song ( Thomas A. Dorsey's "Peace in the valley"), was Presley's willingness to dedicate it, as the closer, to the 250,000 Hungarian fleeing the then Sovet Union's double invasion of their country, and his appeal for those watching to send emergency aid. In the next eleven months, US$6 million were received (the equiv. of US$49.5m in today's dollars), the funds handled by the IRC in Geneva, which purchased perishables and non perishables for them, and settled them in England, and Austria, for life.
