Chris Isaak thinks Elvis Presley is deserving of his 'King' title.

The singer released Beyond the Sun late last year, which includes a collection of songs from famed artists Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Chris was proud to be representing some of music's most talented artists on the record.

'There's a reason they call [Elvis] the King of Rock and Roll. He has the greatest voice in rock music, ever,' he gushed in an interview with BBC Breakfast.

'And did I mention the hair?'

Chris is best known for his hits Wicked Game and Blue Hotel. The 55-year-old musician is famed for his vintage-inspired aesthetic, and says his look for his Wicked Game promo was no different.

Chris has recalled an embarrassing moment while sorting out his wardrobe for the music video.

'The suit [I wore] was made out of drapes. It looked kind of wild and I liked it,' he smiled.

'A Japanese woman turned the curtains into a suit. I tried it on and she said, 'I need one more day,' and I said, 'No, it fits perfect.' She was really red in the face,' he recalled.

'I looked down and realised she'd moved the flower off the crotch.'
