LA, Oct 13: The Jordanaires, best-known as Elvis Presley's original backup singers, appear on the radio mix of Uncle Kracker's new Lava single, "Memphis Soul Song." The idea to add the Jordanaires to the track came from Kracker's producer, Mike Bradford. Although Bradford went through contacts to find them -- the group includes two of the founding members who sang with Elvis and two newer singers who joined after two original members died -- it turns out they're listed in Nashville's Yellow Pages.
"They're so accessible," Bradford says. "A lot of young artists on their first single and full of themselves could learn a lot from these old pros."
