• Foster: “It’s a hell of a burden to be Elvis’ daughter and I think she wore it really well”.

David Foster remembered what it was like to collaborate with Lisa Marie Presley when Elvis Presley was still alive.

On Saturday, January 15, David Foster chatted with the media at the Music Center in Los Angeles during a celebration for Jerry Moss.

“I clearly remember the day we were in the studio together doing a duet with her father, ‘Don’t Cry Daddy,’ which was kind of profound in its own way, that she would be singing a duet with her father.”

“She just was a hard worker and infectious and fun and irreverent,” the Grammy Award winner continued.

He “actually liked her music,” Foster said. “I thought her music was cool. I don’t know how to make that kind of music, but she loved that music, and she made us love it too. So I appreciated her as an artist,” he revealed.

The 73 year old added, “It’s a hell of a burden to carry around, to be Elvis’ daughter, and I think she wore it really well. I mean, obviously, the struggles that she had are well documented, but who knows what it was like to walk in her shoes? She was iconic in her own right.”

From 1991 through 2005, Foster was wed to Linda Thompson, an ex-wife of Elvis Presley.
