Those are great songs, too. I probably left out dozens of others. Elvis was a god; you are preaching to the choir. Even though he did not write his own songs, he still chose most of them and interpreted them in his own, unique style.
This is factually the highest charting Gospel song of all time. Reaching #3 on the US POP charts, not the "Gospel" charts, the POP charts! And it's a HYMNAL that came out during the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Hendrix, etc.!!!
How is Elvis NOT the greatest Gospel artist of all time with trivia like this?
@elvisfan22 Because he was a rock and roll artist with gospel roots? I'm not an expert and I'm open to criticism on my theory but I believe Elvis was hailed as the "King of Rock and Roll", with such admirers as Led Zeppelin, Don McLean, etc.. I'm not surprised this song was high-soaring, or that it was gospel, but a single song doesn't make an artist. Elvis is King, baby, and I'm just trying to spread his gospel.
@mamushk9love152 This is ELVIS at his BEST , doing what he loved BEST - singing GOSPEL MUSIC. The vocal talent he displays in this is AMAZING . THANKS to JACKIE
This performance really highlights the incredible talent that Elvis Presley had. I'm not a big fan of a lot of his music; but vocally he was always at the head of the class. Such sensitive expression, such an understanding of how to take a simple song and make it memorable.
This was a song that blew the Beatles and Stones away in 1965 (even though it was recorded in 1960).A gospel song! No one else should have ever recorded it after Elvis.There are some recordings that can never be topped. This is one.
At exactly 76 years ago (EXACLTY, he was born in 08/01/1935 at 4h35m, now: 08/01/2011 - 4h35m) a great one was born!! Elvis Aaron Presley son of Gladys Love Smith and Vernon Elvis Presley!!! Happy Birthday Elvis! 76 years of glory in our hearts!!
Elvis Aaron Presley's voice was given directly by God!. Listen to this music! Don't forget everybody, tomorrow is 08/01/2011. I'm already saying: Happy Birthday, Elvis!!! 76 years of glory!
@VeranzaTheKing Very well said! We need not fear for he will never be forgotten as he has left a legacy that will last through endless eternities. He was, and always will be in a class by himself . Anyone who attempts to compare anyone else to him is on a fools mission. He will live in hearts around the world forever!
My mothers favourate Elvis song, and i can undrstand why, the grace and passin in Elvis,s voice makes my heart sing with joy, its a beautifull song, sang by the greatest gospal singer of the 20th centery, nay Off all time, Gog Bless you Elvis,
This was the first Elvis song I heard and at that time Elvis became my Idol. His singing has been in every facet of my life. Sleep in piece my prince.
Great photos(circa 1960-1962) Elvis,the Jordanaires with Milie Kirkham at their absolute best .This song was released at Easter 1965 and although four and a half yrs.old and a gospel song ,I remember it blew away the Beatles and the Stones that week.
I Believe this song was originally recorded in very much an ink spots style by sonny till and the orioles way back in the early '50's.I Also had a version on a 45 by Little Richard from about '63ish.the Elvis version is by far the best though.thanks for the posting good to hear again.
This song reminds me of the day my dad passed away. I held my sister all night long and we cried in each others arms. This song takes me back to tat time. Beautiful song.
Jackie, where do you get these wonderful pictures of Elvis? Not only is the sound very clean (even on those songs that were recorded in mono), but your videos are truly pieces of eye candy. Elvis forever!
It was released on Elvis-A Legendary Performer, Vol. 3, Elvis: Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits, Vol. 1; How Great Thou Art, The Top Ten Hits, Amazing Grace-His Greatest Sacred Songs, and 30 #1 Hits, which is where this version is from.
Written by Artie Glenn. Elvis recorded it October 31, 1960 at RCAs Nashville Studios but it remained unreleased for five years. The 1965 release reached #3 on Billboards Hot 100 chart, staying on the chart for 14 weeks. It was also number 1 on the Easy Listening Chart for 7 weeks. It was number 1 for two weeks in England. Sales exceed 1,000,000 copies. It was the A-side to I Believe in the Man in the Sky
This is such a very magnificent and precious song and Elvis easily has the very best renditions of it. Elvis sang this gem at only one of his concerts and that concert was the Dinner Show from August 19, 1975. That concert is available only on bootleg. I've never heard the concert version of this gospel song. Elvis had a voice like no other. No one will ever be able to sing gospel songs as well or better than Elvis did. This video was absolutely magical in every way, 10 Stars as always Jackie.
you've all said it so i'll simply write charming :)
