Kathy Westmoreland October 18, 1976

Elvis was never one to shy his band and backup singers from the spotlight. From time to time, he requested they come out to the center of the stage and sing one of their songs. Bill Baize with When It's My Time, JD Sumner on Walk That Lonesome Road, and Sherril Nielsen with several songs.
The other person is Kathy Westmoreland who began her career with Elvis a week after filming wrapped for TTWII, and stayed until the very end. Elvis "loved" her a lot, and gave her a lot of teasing on stage, but that all stopped when he requested her to sing My Heavenly Father.
RCA refuses to ever let this song be released on Elvis recordings so until it's inclusion in the Bruce Jackson 3 cd pack, we never had an official release with only bootleg soundboards to acknowledge they were. Finally at last we have Kathy singing her heart out to god with a lovely rendition of My Heavenly Father. Enjoy.
