- Many of you requested this over the last few months, and we're thrilled to deliver an exciting and Elvis-like rendition of "To Love Somebody." Rather than using the Bee Gees' version as a base, we aimed for something more thrilling, more fitting of the King’s powerful vocal style.
"To Love Somebody" is a soulful ballad originally written and recorded by the Bee Gees. The song was penned by brothers Barry and Robin Gibb and released in 1967. It quickly became one of their signature hits, showcasing their talent for emotional songwriting and harmonious vocals. This timeless track reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, marking the Bee Gees' entrance into the American music scene.
The backstory of "To Love Somebody" is quite fascinating. Barry Gibb wrote the song with Otis Redding in mind. The Bee Gees were huge fans of Redding, and they crafted the song to suit his style. Unfortunately, Otis Redding passed away before he could record the track, but his influence is deeply embedded in its soulful vibe. The song’s heartfelt lyrics and melancholic melody reflect the yearning and emotional depth that Redding was known for.
The Bee Gees' version of "To Love Somebody" is a masterclass in pop balladry, blending their signature harmonies with a lush orchestral arrangement. Over the years, the song has been covered by numerous artists, including Nina Simone, Michael Bolton, and Rod Stewart, each bringing their unique touch to this classic.
For our Elvis AI project, we drew inspiration from Nina Simone's haunting 1969 rendition of "To Love Somebody." Nina Simone’s version is a soulful and poignant interpretation that brings out the deep emotional undercurrents of the song. By using her arrangement as the base, we aimed to infuse the track with the same depth and richness, while also capturing the vibrant energy of Elvis Presley. We encourage everyone to explore the wonderful music of Nina Simone, whose powerful voice and emotional intensity have left an indelible mark on the world of music.
At Memphis Sound Lab, we’ve taken on the challenge of reimagining this beloved song with our Elvis AI project. Imagine the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll infusing "To Love Somebody" with his powerful, soulful voice and electrifying charisma. This version transforms the gentle ballad into a dynamic, heart-wrenching performance that feels both familiar and fresh.
Using state-of-the-art AI technology, we've managed to capture the essence of Elvis’s vocal style and merge it seamlessly with the song’s rich melodies. The result is an interpretation that pays homage to the original while adding a new layer of depth and excitement.
As we create these AI covers, we often ponder whether Elvis would have embraced a track like "To Love Somebody." With its soulful groove and profound lyrics, it’s easy to imagine Elvis taking this song to new heights with his unparalleled vocal prowess.

Amazing!!!
Fantástico trabalho, sensacional.
Another great one!
Nice😀😀😀
As someone who owns every recording Elvis made, and have been an Elvis fan for almost 50 years, this sounds absolutely nothing like Elvis - and if anyone thinks it does then you're either tone-deaf or need your ears cleaning out. I'm frankly at a loss as to why some seem to think it does. Believe me, it doesn't!
Completely agree. This is BULLSHIT.
Agree totally sounds shit tbh nothing like Elvis
Great Comment
I agree completely.
Regards from Australia 🇦🇺
yep, a.i. will never recapture sound and more important the feeling of elvis because that's what made him unique.
Mermão ficou sobrenatural parabens emocionante, né elvis não??
Tecnicamente é a voz dele sim, só que com inteligência artificial.
I think you guys could knock Wichita Lineman or Rhinestone Cowboy out of the park.
This is next level, you can hear the emotion in the vocals and it sounds so personal that its wrong to listen to listen to it, but you just cant help it and its so infectious. WELL DONE !!
Teria como da uma melhora em garden rose? Born to by wind? Ho carol, diana, go on sloop you and my, por favor.
Wow another gem that works really well the way we hoped that Elvis would've recorded it. Love this !!
This works really well. Thumbs up.
Yes it does!
Thank you
Tem como tocar those magic change na voz do rei por favor?
I think everyone is smart enough🎉 to know it isnt Elvis.. hence.. the letters.. A.I....
I kinda like it.. I believe Elvis would sing a lot of these songs
Thanks Bryan , I always make it obvious that it’s AI ,but not everyone reads or look at the notes or the cover. ✌️ 🎧
MY REQUEST and First to Comment! Thank you so much!
You got it
Another home run in a string of home runs, your decision to build on Nina Simone's version was a wise one. The problem with AI is that it often lacks soul. I have typically defined this "soul" as hearing Elvis take a song to the next level to complete the notes the way we hear them in our head because we have heard him do it so many times. When listening to an Elvis song, fans typically know where Elvis can take a song so the lack of soul is obvious. Yet you have managed to capture the soul of Elvis more than any other content creator; there's nothing here created by the AI Elvis is out of place or doesn't go where an Elvis fan would expect it to go. Well done!!! One question, though. Given this is originally a Bee Gees song and the dataset is a 1969 version of Elvis, was "Words" part of the dataset that created the AI? This was spot-on. Great job!
Congratulations on that. it was beautiful.
It's as if Elvis recorded it in mid-1969 to 1970. I loved it. keep up the good work.
Now I would love to hear Elvis singing "Amarillo by morning" and "I'II TRY" by Alan Jackson, With the voice timbre of Elvis in 1973.
Do you think it would sound good? It's my request. I would really appreciate it if you could do it for me.
Excelente! Me gustaría escuchar mountain of love y track of my tears de Johnny Rivers,siempre pensé que quedarían increíble en la voz de Elvis ❤
Elvis doesn't sing like this sounds nothing like him, well done but its not like Elvis.
It's cute. But it's not the way Elvis would sound. His interpretation was always unique. See what he did on Words.
Still impressive af

I agree not elvis stop using fake s to promote him only one elvis.
Thats not elvis but good try
