Kirby and Lickorish showed that every knot in the 3-sphere is concordant to a
prime knot, equivalently, every concordance class contains a prime knot. We
prove here that their result can be strengthened: Every knot in the 3-sphere is
invertibly concordant to a prime knot. A consequence is that every double
concordance class contains a prime knot.
