Where No One Stands Alone (Rare Live) - Elvis Presley

The first and last time Elvis sang this beautiful song live on stage. 16 February 1977, Montgomery, Alabama. Elvis also plays piano here.

Contrary to what the video said, Elvis did record this song in the 60's, yet this was his only known live performance of the song.

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me

Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way, every hour every day
Come here to the great unknown

Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Thank you for posting this rare and historically significant recording of Elvis singing "Where No One Stands Alone". Elvis received this album, written and recorded by Don Gibson (it was his first Gospel Album) the year after Elvis beloved Mother passed away. Elvis had to purchase extra copies of this album as he played it so much as the songs helped him cope with the loss of his Mother. Thanks again, take care and may God bless you.

@JeffSchrembs Thanks very much for that extra info. Never knew that. Just gave Don's version a listen, it is wonderful. One also suspects the version of Known Only to Him on that album was the one Elvis covered for his 1960 His Hand In Mine LP.

''Like a king I may live in a palace so tall

With great riches to call my own

But I don't know a thing

In this whole wide world

That's worse than being alone''

And these lyrics sum in Elvis in ' 77.

Love this song too by Elvis! Talented gospel singer and you could feel he was sincere about God. Riches don't mean a thing without God. Only God can feel the lonelyness! The Bible states "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" MARK 8:36 KJV God Bless.

I wish God had sent an angel to visit Elvis in 1974 to tell him to rest awhile, enjoy his life, travel the world, and beome refreshed. And then, the angel would say, don't worry Elvis...your fans will be there waiting for you when you are ready to make them happy again.But I guess God can be selfish too. RIP Elvis
