The last question was “which artist had a hit duet with Frank Sinatra with the song ‘Summer Wind‘”? Was it Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Julio Iglesias, or Aretha Franklin. The answer was Julio Iglesias.
Interestingly enough, Elvis explained that the song was on Frank’s duet album where he did duets with all kinds of superstars, but not in the same studio. He made them record in another studio. Interesting!
