Great old Elvis song sung so well by this totally underrated group. Love the harmony and the chord progressions that they spruced up this old song with. Thanks for posting this! :)

Allies had some really good songs, too bad they didn't seem to really get the credit for it and make it "big"

@74magic92 He was a great drummer. One of the best in Christian music and probably up there in the mainstream genres as well. I was at Jesus Northwest in 1990 and they were there. I didn't really listen to them as I was looking for friends. But, I stopped when heard the drum solo and had to just sit down and watch.

Oh my goodness!!! How does someone give this song a thumbs down??? Must be a heathen!

This is my favorite version of the song! Thanks for sharing!

It was originally recorded by The Orioles (1953), 7 years before Elvis recorded his version.

Shucks!!! I did not know that Bob CArlisle used to be the lead singer of Allies. No wonder the song Butterfly Kisses sounds like him.

this is fantastic! Take Me Back is still a fav of mine!
This history is wrong, the original version was by the Orioles in 1953, but the voice is great, not Elvis, but with soul and meaning.

Actually your right and wrong. The video info is wrong. Also the original was not the Orioles. The Orioles covered Darrell Glenn's country song "Crying In the Chapel". Darrell originally recorded it but the Orioles made it a huge pop hit in 1953 then Elvis later. Not so much a hit for the Allies due to the limited nature of Christian Music influence back in 1980's.

Yes that song is from thier "Long way from Paradise" cd. Great CD with other ccm radio hits "Trust in God" & "Take me Back".

Thanks for you comment. Is you dad still playing drums now? The Allies made some great music, unfortunately i never was able to see them live. I did hear great things about thier live shows in the 80's.
