Love your reaction to this beautiful lyric. I think Elvis would be gratified that people are still taking the time to really listen to the gospel songs.
Wow what a beautiful song by the greatest singer in the world. Mostly thanks to u for being such a young man and loving Elvis as much as us older people do he will live forever as long as he's loved
Elvis deliveries once again, double banger for sure. Great thoughtful lyrics and the worlds best voice singing it. About 1,5 years ago I found my purpose in life, watching and commenting on your reactions haha.
Gosh, what a beautiful voice and a beautiful song. Really makes one think. I got goosebumps and started crying at the end. His voice singing Gospel like he really means it gets me every time. Thanks for playing this. It is a double ‼️ banger!! 😊😢❤❤
Seph, your insights always amaze and impress me. One of Elvis' most pleading questions in his life was, "Who am I"? He wondered why he was chosen to be Elvis Presley. Why was he blessed with his voice and the love of so many followers? He searched for the answers to these questions always. So, this song, I am sure, meant a lot to him and you can hear it in this recording. Thank you for your perception and appreciation. It is a beautifully sung gospel song. The album , I think is kind of a mixture of genres. One of the ones they threw together with various recording that didn’t fit on other albums.❤❤❤
This is a lesser known Elvis gospel song, but one of the most thought-provoking! Amazingly sung by Elvis & have to say that your reaction to Elvis singing this was first class Seph, sent shivers down my spine, not joking!! Elvis spent most of his life pondering and searching for answers, as to why was he the one chosen? Great conclusion too, Seph, because I don't think there is an exact answer to "what is our purpose in life?". I think the biblical answer is something to the effect of that we live to glorify God & follow the teachings of Jesus, but I stand to be corrected. For the less religious folk, (like me), maybe it means what makes you happy, whether that be your job, family, caring for others, volunteer work, or simply spreading kindness & love. It would mean something different to each one of us.
I absolutely love this song, Elvis's voice just indescribable, just sends shivers down my spine, not heard it for a while, will need to listen to it more ❤❤
Beautiful angelic voice of EP.....direct fire to the heart and soul. Love all his gospel songs....God's own vocal instrument. That's why Elvis is like a religion 🙏🏼💯⚡❤️
Great song, great performance, one of his best gospels. ❤ Another disrespected/mis-handled '69 session track by Parker/RCA, released much later and cast on to a budget album!
I agree with your analysis 100% on this one Seph but strangely enough have never had it on any of my playlists - perhaps yet another rethink after one of your reactions.
One of my favorites. Who am I that Jesus would die for me on the cross? Do you know that if any one of us was the only person on earth, Jesus would die for that one person on the cross. WOW!
Again getting My Notifications Late for Your Channel! UGH YT - Elvis was always searching for answers about "Why He "Chosen" to be A Huge Star / Entertainer" I feel trying to separate himself from Who He was as a Man Not Just Elvis The Entertainer - *THIS IS SO TOUCHING* It All STARTED With Gospel - Going to see at the age of 15 or 16 "The Stamps Quartet / JD Sumner" / Previously "The Blackwood Brothers" Article - Elvis' love for gospel music was his one real link with the past, providing constant support during a demanding career. His passion for this music formed the foundation for his long, close friendship with J. D. Sumner. As a teenager, Elvis considered Sumner a hero. That respect never changed but developed into a remarkable relationship not unlike brothers. J. D. Sumner has shared many stories about that friendship. Elvis Presley was only 16 when he first heard the powerful voice of J.D. Sumner. So captivated by the deep melodias tones produced by this great man, he would sneak in the back door of the Ellis Auditorium in Memphis. The two men soon formed a bond that would last throughout their lives. In the early 1950s, Southern gospel quartets had such established popularity that the performances on the circuit would frequently sell out auditoriums seating 5,000 people or more. One of the biggest shows, however, was the National Quartet Convention. When the convention was in town each year, Elvis, who had scratched and saved to purchase a ticket, would attend and listen to the gospel music he loved. He became familiar to the members of the leading quartets, including J. D. Sumner, who performed with the Blackwoods at that time and was known as the 'lowest bass singer in the world'. Elvis especially loved the deep, sonorous tones of the bass singers and the characteristic way they would boom out the short lead phrases that gave Southern gospel choruses their punch. Ellis Auditorium was also the location for shows by leading quartets such as the Statesmen from Atlanta, and especially the Blackwood Brothers, who were from Memphis and often promoted singing events featuring themselves and other groups. On one occasion, J. D. Sumner noticed that the young boy who had been attending the sings so faithfully was absent. Then, the next time, he was back. When he had the opportunity to speak to Elvis, J.D. asked him where he was at the last concert and why he hadn't attended. Elvis replied that he didn't have enough money for a ticket. J.D. told him he wouldn't need any money from that point on. 'You just come to the stage door and I'll let you in for nothing'. And that's the way it remained. Later, J.D. said, 'About the next thing I knew he was letting me in his stage door'. It was the beginning of one of the most enduring friendships of Elvis Presley's life. (Excerpt: The Gospel Side of Elvis by Joe Moscheo) In November of 1971, J. D. Sumner and the Stamps were invited to tour with Elvis Presley. The group became a regular fixture with Presley until his last concert on June 26th, 1977. The Stamps were also featured on most of Presley's studio recordings between 1972 and 1977. In the midst of their popularity while performing with Presley, the Stamps released what is probably their most critically acclaimed recording, a double LP titled Live At Murray State. The singers joining J. D. Sumner on that recording were Ed Hill, Ed Enoch, and Bill Baize
Beautiful as always. 💕 Still waiting for you to do a reaction to Clean Up Your Own Backtard and Rubberneckin'. Seems youve skipped over them. But why? 🤔
He hasn't done "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" from the movie "the Trouble with Girls" either. Pretty soon he'll be into the year 1970 and leave a number of songs behind.
Wow, I'm late to the party today. Another lovely gospel song by our Elvis. It is scrumptious. You've got many bangers coming up too. The album is NOT a gospel album, just has a gospel number or two on it. Not the best album by far. Bunch of movie songs on it.
@@thepuma2012 ye heard that but the sessions were mammoth over 2 days and you could hear it in his voice with hey jude. No other singer / band would do that amount of work over 2 days, more likely 3 or 4 month lol
@@allandickson8576 Keith Flynn the doyen of recording sessions has 'Hey Jude' first recorded without overdubs January 21 1969 and 'Who Am I' on February 1969, with sessions seemingly covering over a month.
I do not think you got the import of the message Seph. It's about God's grace --His mercy given to undeserving sinners. It's also about the Substitutional Atonement. Christ took the place of wretched sinners and grants them eternal life by means of His blood shed on the Cross. The Lord has not granted eternal salvation to every person who has and shall live, but only toward His elect.
That man could melt icebergs with his voice absolutely beautiful

This song is a spiritual song from his You’ll Never walk alone album. He’s singing about Jesus.
