Elvis's voice is NEVER better than when he sings gospel. You can hear the "gift" he was given.
Indeed❤
My Father always said this exact thing 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Michael Jackson was 10 yrs old in 68 BP! So was i😂😂
@@mstewart109Michael Jackson was 10 and he was already on his way towards stardom.
My mother-in-law in Heaven played his Christmas album as background music from the back bedroom every year on Christmas Day. Beautiful indeed
Elvis grew up in the projects and in a black church! He stole nothing! He was raised in the ghetto and he had a great appreciation for the black communities. He sang so many great songs and one was called “In the Ghetto”! He was very patriotic and you should listen to “An American Trilogy” live in Hawaii 1973! Absolutely awesome! Gail
Stop trying to get people to like him and making him sound like a Liberal. He did not "grow up in the projects or "ghetto". He grew up dirt poor and his Strong Christian Values taught him to Love Everyone.
He incorporated his own style of music mixing Country, Rhythm and Balls, etc to for his own style. He was a Trend setter in his clothing g style and people were influenced by him.
Besides being able to sing all style of music ( country, gospel, blues,pop, rock n roll , rockabilly, etc., he was very patriotic .
Let people love him for his music, kindness and love of God. But please do not make him look like a beta Liberal.
@@lewisclabough8305WTH? I never said he was a liberal are even trying to get people to like him. Just stating facts from a documentary I saw on his life! I grew up on his music, respect him, loved his music, and admire him for having been so talented! Sorry you didn’t like my comment! Gail🤷♀️
I came here to say the same thing
@@lewisclabough8305he most certainly grew up in the ghetto and attended an all black church.
@@MikeStrickland-h4p Elvis Grew up in a Shack Town with no running water and no electricity.
Gospel was his passion, rock n roll was his job.
Nicely said ❤
So denke ich auch ❤liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
Wait til you hear him sing Peace in the Valley
One of my favorites. Thanks for the reminder.
Oh yes!! I would have to agree.
Yes!!!
That was my Grandmother's favorite song. I had it sung at her funeral.
My favorite Elvis quote ever is when a fan in the crowd called him the king and tried giving him a crown and he kindly declined saying, "There's only one king and his name is Jesus Christ."
I remember that
@@QouteTheRavenNevermore I think that I have seen a video from a performance where he said that.
Elvis’s “How great thou art” is a tear jerker!
Grandma's favorite!
Yes he needs to listen to that❤
That was my Moms favorite
YES!! Please review Elvis's How Great Thou Art!! Will make you tremble with emotion. You can feel it in your soul. No joke.
The best version is
Elvis Presley
"How Great Thou Art"
Live 1972
Hampton Roads
He won Grammy’s for his gospel albums.
The only grammies he ever won was for the gospel albums
His only Grammy's!
Yes Elvis won 3 grammes for gospel❤.
His only grammy's
He won 3 Grammys. One was for HE TOUCHED ME. His other two were for different renditions of HOW GREAT THOU ART. He was dubbed by fans as King of Rock n' Roll, but his true passion was always Gospel. He constantly strived to strengthen his relationship with God.
This '68 comeback special is one of the best shows EVER
And so is his Aloha Special from Hawaii, performed in 1973. It is also on TH-cam.
❤️
Man, you just gotta go down the Elvis rabbit hole. YOU.WILL.BE.BLOWN.AWAY.
💯
I saw a special on Elvis by a lot of old time black artists. they all were talking about how awesome he was to the community. He actually refused to play huge venues in the south that didn't want him to bring his backup singers. When they folded and told him it was OK to bring his black background singers with him, he had the sistas brought in like royalty in convertibles like beauty queens in a parade. It was AWESOME
Exactly-when he was asked to perform the Astrodome, he was told he could not bring “those black girls” with him. His response was if they could not come with him, he was not going to perform. 👍👌
Elvis is gospel, I think that is where it gets lost. You can’t steal a voice or a soul-he never stole anything. RIP Elvis!
Elvis didn't like being called "King"; he felt there was only one King - Jesus.
Oh whatever......such Nonsense. In 1972 when Elvis was playing Madison Square Garden, his comic Jackie Kahane got booed off the stage because the crowd was impatiently wanting to see Elvis....when Jackie came backstage, Elvis told him " Mr. Kahane, Jesus Christ couldn't have gone out there tonight ahead of me. ' ”" That is an actual quote...so enough of your Elvis said Jesus is the only King nonsense.
@@johnclaba1457 But that's probably true.
You are more fun to watch than the old artists. I love the respect you give to ones you have never heard. Blessings.
The cat was into the occult very deep
Take my hand precious Lord. Great gospel by elvis
“Just a Closer Walk With Thee” 👍
Also: “How Great Thou Art” ❤️
Crying in the chapel is great as well
This fact never fails to blow my own mind: the only Grammy Elvis won was for Gospel.
Why? Grammys are a joke. How does Beyonce have 500 Grammys and Elvis the Beatles and the Rolling Stones put together dont have even 15? Its a favorite son club and it was quite apparent that Elvis, the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones were not the type to smooze and lick asses.
He actually won THREE Grammys for his three gospel albums.
@@johnclaba1457they weren’t a joke THEN
@@sharonf106still for gospel only. Very sad.
That whole 68 special is very special shows Elvis in a different light
It was the BEST.!!!!!!
I live in Elvis' hometown and grew up next to his cousin. When Elvis would ride his motorcycle down from Memphis to Tupelo to visit family and pull into Mr. Harold Ray's, I'd run over and beg Elvis for a ride. I was around 3 years old and only knew he was the sweet man who took me for ice cream and sang to me. I can remember him asking my mother to take me riding. She wasn't happy, but Elvis would put on that grin and say, I can't tell her no. You need to listen to "In the Ghetto," by Elvis. The more things change, the more things stay the same unfortunately.
What a great memory! Really! Thanks for sharing!!
My mother was born in Tupelo and went to elementary school with Elvis!
What a sweet memory.
Elvis and the black community is a great understanding of who he was as a person.

I have heard a few of them call him a theif
@@motleydigger
Which ones?
And tell me Prozak, why should people watch Elvis and the black community?
NO ONE COULD EVER SING LIKE ELVIS, HE PUTS FEELINGS IN EVERY SONG HE SINGS.
I know whi does , "Bob Joyce sings exactly like him "
Elvis' rendition of 'Peace In The Valley' is priceless. It is an all-time favorite.
That’s my favourite
Absolutely
Absolutely
Mr P, I have but one request, and that is to refrain from "suggestive" language in your videos. I do believe that you are a believer (and your mom is blessed for that!) and that we ALL have vices and shortcomings (three fingers pointing back at myself).
My favorite Elvis gospel song is "Peace In The Valley" with the famous Jordanaires. Awesome song!
Elvis Presley was raised in the church, music and hymnals!! Elvis Presley was raised in the black community!❤❤
Elvis’s 3 Grammys were all for Gospel. “ How Great Thou Art”
The perfect one to react to♥️
Peace un the Valley, Bridge Over Troubled Water would be great reactions as well
@@hisprincess20121 The best version of Bridge Over Troubled Water was from 1970 when he's in the white jumpsuit, so it HAS to be a reaction to that performance.
I'd love if he played Elvis singing How Great Thou Art and the Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water Elvis did it so much better that Paul Simon said Elvis sang it the way it was meant to be sung! That's High praise from the singer writer of the original! ❤ It has to be the Vegas version not his last performance because he didn't sing the whole song he was so ill and fighting for breath.
How Great Thou Art is my favorite Gospel Song by him. He grew up dirt poor in a shotgun house. One room with a front and back door. No bathroom. The ghetto in Bilokski, Mississippi. As a young child, they moved to the ghettos or Memphis. He hung out and went to school, and church with black people. He never forgot his roots.
Elvis Presley grew up in a black neighborhood when he was a boy he hung out with black kids during the years of segregation
Elvis was born in Tupalo, MS and was a twin. His parents were so poor that his twin brother was buried in a shoebox. Growing up he attending black churches. When he got older the moved to Memphis, TN and lived in the projects there. Gospel music was something he sang in everyone of his concerts and the emotion that he felt and made others feel when he sang it is unreal.
Always need to know the background of people to understand them somewhat..
You should read about some British rock stars and what they did for a living before fame and riches ! One was a grave digger at one point!
A small correction, it is spelled Tupelo.
I'm not one of these people always attacking cultural appropriation. I hate the term. We need to keep our race pure. We need to keep our culture pure. No one else can sing our music, etc. seems like I've heard that before. Oh yeah that's what the KKK has been saying for as long as I can remember. The truth is that America has always been multi cultural and multi racial. Every race has something to add to the greatness of American Culture. Now somebody help this old white man down off of his soapbox.
As someone also born & currently located there, it's Tupelo.
And you have to remember this was in 1968!! I watched it then and it was HUGE at the time!❤
I think during that time Elvis was exploring his dark side and it just seemed weird that he had expressed that dark side? Because in that song “I am Saved” he’s expressing the Blood of Jesus notice how everything is red I’m thinking that’s his way of expressing that about the Blood 🩸 of Christ saving him. Then he wears all black in 68 comeback special. A big change? He’s taking you to church on one hand, then taking you to bed on the other hand 😂
Elvis Church was pure gospel he was part of the choir when he was young.
This is Alvin Haley & his dancers? Right?
Whitney Houston's mother Cissy was one of Elvis's back up singers, and he didn't let anyone disrespect his girls. He once threatened to cancel a gig, because they didn't want the back up singers using the front door.
Wow
Elvis didn’t see color.
I always thought that he would have been pleased that Cissy's daughter Whitney Houston later sang the song "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton. Elvis wanted to sing it but ran into issues with his manager wanting Dolly Parton to give up some of her rights to the song in order for Elvis to sing it. You can find TH-cam videos of Dolly Parton talking about it. Very interesting!
She was only a very short time background at the opening shows at The International Hotel Las Vegas Nevada what would become Live Las Vegas. Only the opening shows instead of what Manny, claim to be that she was always a part of the backup singers, which is not true, They claim they know everything, but in fact they know nothing. Only want to seem like they know everything and ride the wave of 15 minute fame. I call that ego tripping.
Only a backup for 2 months. Sick and tired of the ignorance.
Elvis loved all people…
Except Women who he treated very poorly!
Elvis always sang at least one gospel tune when he did his concerts.
Elvis LITERALLY grew up in the black church and in a black neighborhood. He didn't steal the music of the black community. It was his music, too, because he grew up I the same culture.
I explain that all the time!
Elvis sang gospel when he was 5 years old in the local church.
Love Elvis singing the song ' Crying in the Chapel ' brilliant !
yes!
absolutely!
nOBODY COULD SING gospel like Elvis
He did a good amount of gospel, he grew up with it.
Elvis male backup singers consisted of the Jordanaires, a gospel group, also Cissy Houston, Whitney's Mom was part of his female backup singers. When performing on the road after the last set he and some of the member would spend hours singing Gospel music.
and how long did Cissy sing with Elvis?
Not long because she wanted to be with her children.
There was nothing that Elvis couldn't sing!!!! They called him "The King" for a reason!!!
Elvis had entire Gospel albums.
I have an Elvis gospel cd
He recorded multiple gospel albums. Gospel was his roots.
One of the most common sentiments from the uneducated about Elvis is to say he "stole black music". Reality is that Elvis was incredibly eclectic and was never afraid to stand up for the roots of where he came from and where his inspiration was. Whether it was black or white or purple, Elvis could kill it and still give props.
People steal music from a hundred years ago!
47 years today, we lost Elvis 8/16/1977
He's very much loved. Can you have an Elvis marathon
Elvis was so far ahead of his time. We could do with him today. Woman went crazy and men looked up to him as a role model.
Elvis told in multiple interviews that his music and the love of music came from the black community. I love his music, but this is the first time hearing/watching this. Thank you for posting it.
I thought I saw all his videos. Wow! I was in high school then.
ALL IS GREAT... PRECIOUS LORD IS 💖
This was part of the ‘68 Comeback Special.
Gospel was his favorite genre to sing. Elvis would attend all types of church services. It didnt matter to him.
Elvis singing gospel is the BEST. My favorite Elvis songs are the hymns. Chills!
When Elvis was on the road and a gospel group was playing he would go and sing with them. He loved gospel!
Elvis was raised in gospel churches. He held on to those roots.
Elvis anyone who knows his real history would not say he stoled their music. Elvis was humble and his gospel music could make you cry. You should hear him sing “ In the garden”. The man could lift your soul with his renditions of gospel songs. Those you know he really felt his music. The man was really really religious.
Well, I’m from Memphis and we all know Elvis is the king of gospel and rock. He can show bring tears to your eyes. That’s for sure.
The only Grammy's Elvis won were for his Gospel! Elvis is never better than when he sings Gospel!
Elvis had one of the best gospel albums you can get your hands on.
One more thing, His background singers "Sweet Inspirations" had a woman who named Cissy Houston perform with him for 5 weeks in Vegas. Whitney's mother...
th-cam.com/video/xd1pXw1DmsA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9LGTCbLaXJS0sXg2
She also did a few more in 1969 & 1970 she typed some with him
@@sandraturner4539 did not.
@@sandraturner4539Not in 70. She left the Sweet Inspirations after the summer engagement 1969 to raise up her kids.
“So, how do you stay in such good shape?”
“I’m one of Elvis’ dancers”
“Got it. Say no more “
Elvis was a humble performer. He gave credit to those that deserved it. Fought for the rights of his singers and bandmates.
Elvis was raised in the Church. You can't make it sound sincere if it isn't. He was a beautiful man with a beautiful soul. Find one of his slower, a Regular southern gospel song,
BP, if this gives you goosebumps you really have to hear him sing " How Great Thou Art"
back in 1970 Elvis was gonna do 6 shows at the Houston Livestock Show in the Astrodome. "they" told him he needed to leave "his black girls" at home. he told them "if MY girls don't come niether do i", needless to say Elvis and The Sweet Inspirations were both there. and so was i. 10 years old. greatest entertainer this world will ever know.
You’ve got to listen and react to Elvis’s “If I Can Dream!” Like nothing else! 👏🏻
When Elvis died way to young, he took the music to heaven. Can you imagine the jam session going on up there now.
Pure talent and no auto tune or pitch control. Keep going down the Elvis rabbit hole.
You just struck gold. Elvis was the master of gospel music. Elvis did not steal anything, he was from the South and that has always been our music. A black man taught Hank Williams, Sr how to play a guitar. The Elvis performance of How Great Thou Art, live in 1972 is a must watch. th-cam.com/video/9tg-dcj9w4k/w-d-xo.html Nobody sang gospel better than Elvis because he lived it from an infant. Like so many of us Southerners.
Elvis is the king for something. He my ultimate favourite male vocalist of all times. I grow up on Elvis music. I just turned 7 on August 14 1977 before the king died. That’s the day in history that changed the world in whole. God bless
The 3 black ladies are his back up singers when he performed. When hElvis was supposed to perform in Texas they told him he could leave them home, he said if you want to perform they come with me. He was driven around a stadium before the concert and his 3 ladies were with him in a convertible….
Yup..I heard this story. He stood tall for what he believed was right. Respect to that man!
These ladies are called the Blossoms, they are not his backup Singers the Sweet Inspirations. The '68 Comeback was one year before he hired the Sweet Inspirations and started performing in Vegas.
Elvis only earned his Grammys for his gospel music. Stop for a second and think about that. The King of Rock and Roll only won awards for his gospel music. People around Elvis said in his home he had lots of music albums of different artists and genres because he loved music, but in his bedroom he only had gospel albums.
He should have also won a Grammy for American Trilogy.
You Gave Me a Mountain - Elvis
You’ve got to watch Elvis and the black community!!
Elvis’s voice in gospel outshines all other genres, he can practically bring you to the lord! ❤
How Great Thou Art, Where no one Stands Alone, and Peace in the Valley are some must listens of Elvis's gospel music
I love how Lisa Marie did "Where No one Stands Alone" featuring her Dad❤ it's most definitely on my forever playlist!!
“we can continue to grow if we work together.”
Preach, brother!
It was 1968, and a black man was the feature dancer during prime time!!!! It was controversial and ahead of its time.
Listen to elvis vegas' performance 1972(blue suit) How Great Thou art!
Elvis LOVED gospel. He would keep his musician and entourage up all night after shows, just singing gospel. Someone asked him once why he just didn’t switch and do gospel full time. Elvis said because there were too many people dependent on his career for their own paychecks. And there is that myth that Elvis faked his death. Someone asked his ex wife Pricilla that if Elvis really were alive, what would he be doing? She said, preaching the gospel.
Did you ever see one of those nights that was captured on video. It was a 3-4 song combination. It’s great!
How I love gospel. I love the traditional hymns, and I love hearing performers use their talent to praise God. Thank you, God, for the blessings in my life.
As a singer In all ranges, Gospel was his favorite, and you can feel/hear it. Elvis goes beyond "listening " alone .Elvis was a example for MJ, just as he was , for everyone that came after Elvis..before anyone did anything ,Elvis did everything.
Elvis is the only one that could put gospel, rock n roll and the blues altogether in one song and it be perfection!
Elvis Amazing Grace is the greatest song of all time.
This was his 68’ comeback special. Same one that he did If I Can Dream in the white suit
Hallelujah, Elvis just took us to church ❤🎉
Elvis learned to sing in a gospel church. His mum was part native American and dedicated to christ. So was Elvis. He brought out lots of gospel albums. Truly awesome. What a waste that he was worked to death. ❤❤❤I'm a 60 year old Elvis fan, all my life.
❤❤ Me too. The first thing my grandbaby heard was an Elvis gospel CD. Check out his How Great Thou Art. Rivaled only by Carrie's, and that only because she did it Elvis' way.
His mother was part Cherokee.
Elvis is the only one in 5 Hall of fame
This boy was from Tupelo, Mississippi so he grew up singing in church and listening to the brothers of color and LOVED it! When you get a chance look up his first producer, Sam Phillips of Sun Records in Memphis. Sam WANTED to find a combination of the Black Delta music and a white kid. Sam gave all sorts of huge stars their start. Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, etc. Big piece of music history there. When you’re in Memphis, you can still tour the original studio with the museum and the original mics, etc.
Amen. He was a pure gift
Elvis won music awards for his gospel records. People forget this clip was from his 1968 comeback "Christmas" special it was more than a comeback special it was a Christmas holiday special that's why the show had lots of religious overtones,and tunes not to mention a tribute to Reverend M.L.K. at the closing of the show with the If I can dream song written specifically for this show. R I.P. M L.K./Elvis and all the brave souls that were assassinated in the 1950's,60's✌️❤️🙏🙏🙏
You should check out Elvis Presley & the Black Community - That Echo will Never Die.

why?
Amen man. This is what America needs to get back to. Turn off the lights.. or Shut your eyes.. ignore skin color and just listen and feel it. To start- that opening dancer was INCREDIBLE. Elvis- ALWAYS incredible. I wish Elvis was still around because what an awesome champion for humanity. Today we could REALLY use a man/person like that to help people focus on real people vs what media and politics define us as.
Elvis always the best and all of his gospel albums are wonderful
Elvis had Gospel Albums. Lots to listen to. My favorites when I was a kid were, "Peace in the Valley" , "In the Garden" and "How Great Thou Art". Absolutely Stunning!
American Trilogy from his Aloha From Hawaii concert is a must. That concert was the first satellite concert ever. I was maybe twelve years old and watched it with my dad. It was seen by about a BILLION people worldwide.
His best music was always gospel.
Elvis not only sings it but he feels it and makes you feel it too! He has an album that’s nothing but gospel. His performances “ How Great Thou Art “ and “ Peace In the Valley “ are spectacular. Look up his gospel album and listen to it. I think you’ll love it. I hope you react to more. Of course being born in 1959 Elvis was my first crush so it’s safe to say I am biased. I got Elvis albums for Christmas and birthdays. I practiced dancing and singing like him from the time I could walk or talk. Lol. Praying for you and your precious family 😊❤️🙏🏼
I am so glad to see you younger people FINALLY discovering Elvis. Having been a fan for over 50 years, let me say this: God created the world in 7 days. On the 8th day, he created Elvis. God was showing off his best work that day. This man is not a result of mere genetics, God did this. His Gospel is unsurpassed. May I suggest: How Great Thou Art, Without Love, Where Did They Go Lord, Only Believe, You Gave Me A Mountain (from his Hawaii tour). Also, Just Pretend, Danny Boy, Amazing Grace. The list goes on. This is the greatest voice of any century. Enjoy and let me know if you want more suggestions. Try and look for live performances and also rehearsals of Gospel. He takes you to church with his gospel. His voice can do anything. His best ballad by far is Tomorrow Never Comes. Enjoy.
I can’t wait till you react to some of Elvis’s classic gospel songs. They will truly touch your heart.
That was just plain out FUN!!! PRAISE JESUS!
He has a lot of musical awards in the gospel category I believe is in the gospel Hall of Fame
Elvis was inducted into all 4 HALLS OF FAME; Rock, Country, Blues, Gospel.
@@exdus235 I just looked it up on Google and it’s actually five but the only Grammys he has is for his gospel
I am an Elvis fan from my childhood until now and I was listening to Elvis when he was still alive and I have heard many of his Gospel songs and probably every other song he sang except this one. So thanks for this 👍❤️
Please watch him sing HOW GREAT THOU ART. live. Talk about chills..❤
I can't wait to hear this and the reaction. It is Elvis at his best. Live.
Thank u Brother for knowing n telling the truth about ELVIS!! 😊
I was never a great fan of Elvis' Hound Dog and Hunka Burning Love stuff, but when he went to his gospel roots he really showed his soul and took us to church. My all time favorite is If I can Dream.
Same here!
You need to listen to Elvis sing How Great Thou Art❤
His gospel records are amazing
Dude anything from Elvis comeback or when he was being serious and sincere is great
Elvis + Gospel=1. He always included some Gospel music in his shows. I understand that after many of his shows, he would sit in his dressing room and sing Gospel Hymns with the Stamps (they were his backup quartet/singers for years) for hours. He needed to unwind, and get back to his roots.
How great thou art, peace in the valley, crying in the chapel were among my favorites Elvis did in the Gospel realm. He actually put out a huge Gospel catalog.
Elvis made gospel cool.
Elvis has many gospel albums
He always said singing gospel was his favorite music to sing
