Losing a father at a young age is difficult for a young girl. It's especially challenging growing up as the only daughter of a world-famous entertainer worshiped by fans decades after his death.

This is the challenge that Lisa Marie Presley knew after losing her father when she was only nine years old.

Lisa Marie never got to know her father as an adult. However, something of him remains in every song that he sang. One such song is "In the Ghetto", the lyrics of which tell the story of a poor boy born in the ghettos of Chicago.

Growing up hungry and poor, the kid buys a gun, steals a car, and tries to make a run for it, only to die in the streets just as his own son is born in the ghetto. It is one of Elvis' most iconic songs.

For the thirtieth anniversary of her father's death, Lisa Marie got to share a special moment by recording this song that he made so famous. In a special twist, she created a video duet with her father, singing this song together.

The resulting video is a loving tribute to the man she called "Dad" as well as a fitting homage to the man fans called "The King". I think The King would be very proud of his daughter and the duet that she created for him!!

What do you think? Did Lisa Marie do her father proud? Let us know your thoughts and pass this video along to others.
