Elvis was great for a while at recycling traditional tunes. Besides the Aura-Lee transmitted song previously mentioned, "Plaisir d'Amour" was morphed into I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" and "O Sole Mio" into "It's Now Or Never", and there were probably more. Of course He hired some Hollywood hacks to do this for him, so we still can't venerate Him for His "stealing" the way we do with, say, Woody, A.P. Carter and W.C. Handy. But then they're FATHERS and Elvis was a KING, and Kings can afford that kind of thing, and we Americans haven't had a royal family since.....But I digress.

Anyway, research shows that Aura and her sister Voca harmonized very well, but sister Ana was the wild one of the Lee family. Quite a colorful family tree.
