ELVIS COMPARED TO SAM COOKE NO COMPARISON WITH THIS SONG THESE MEN SPEAK TO YOUR SOUL WITH THEIR VOICES ,ELVIS HAHA PLEASE DONT INSULT REAL GOSPEL SINGERS
It pains me to hear people arguing about who was the best. It is not a contest, it is praising God. Sam Cooke, Elvis, Mahalia were all wonderful singers, Different, but all wonderful. Some may like one more than the other, but they are all good. Just be grateful that we had these different people to sing for us so that we all could have something that would inspire us.
I love Elvis (and Mahalia, too); but this version with a 20 year old Sam Cooke presented in his first major recording is just incandescent. Paul Foster is simply brilliant here - he sounds like he instinctively knew he was beginning a very rare and extraordinary combination with the greatest soul singer of all time. The joy in Paul's voice says everything.
@LT1HILLINGHOE I have to disagree. Elvis' is way too slow and the heart isn't there. Sam and the Soul Stirrers is all heart. The tempo is much better too.
@daxeboy9 So you're saying that she (Mahalia) dreamed of sounding better than Elvis. We kinda already figured that one out. But....thanks for the info.
@Arianne73 Your family must be good at beltin it out huh!I wish my family could do that!To white I think hahaha they couldnt even keep time!We would look like Steve Martin in the jurk snapin our fingers all wrong,all out of key,this could be fun I think I will make em give it a shot!
This is a song my mother always played when I was a little girl. I believe by the grace of GOD that this songs help me keep in touch with my spiritual GROWTH....

This is good, but it pales in comparison to Elvis with the Jordanaires version.

@ShooterKitty The heart isn't there? Good thing I judge the music I listen to by the way it sounds...not by how much "heart" someone has. LOL
This version isn't bad, it's just not in the same league as Elvis' is. No one sung gospel as great as Elvis did....no one.

@LT1HILLINGHOE Mahalia Jackson in her sleep sounded better than Elvis, Elvis learned something from black folk and that was how to mimic them.

My family and I used to sit on the porch in the summer and sing this song when I was young. Miss those days.
