J'ai 56 ans, et je suis surtout amateur des enregistrements chez Sun records et le 1er LP chez RCA, et les singles des années 50. Ensuite, ce son ses albums de Gospels que j'adore et cette version de How great though art m'a fait comprendre que la foi est en soi. Quand je suis désespéré d'entendre les informations et touts les mensonges des gens qui nous dirigent, j'écoute cette fabuleuse version, les larmes et frissons m'envahissent, ma foi grandit et devient inébranlable. Elvis était, pour moi, un messager de Dieu.

Elvis trying to talk to God here. Just 6 weeks before his death, Elvis was not well, his body riddled with heart pain, added weight, and organs failing, but he decided to go forward with his last tour and honor his commitments to his fans. The result was some incredible music, with some of Elvis best emotions and vocals prowess on full display. This is the greatest live rendition I ever heard of this song. It is very moving, especially if you believe in God. Hard to watch for Elvis fans but "required reading" as this is a legendary and epic performance of a man speaking to his God in his own way, and very much in a public fashion. From southern church choirs to music pop legend.

Even though he was best known to hundreds of millions as a rock artist, he was even better at singing Gospel. He grew up in black and white southern gospel churches of the 1930s and 50s before hitting it big and changing the music world but he never forgot his roots in a poor black and white christian communities during segregation. Its why he speaks to and through hearts on a very unique organic and truth to power way still to this day.

All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever. dancing and singing breaks my heart because i know he is not here anymore my mind understands but my heart never will, i saw him a few weeks before he passed we had a short conversation which i will never share again because people are so nasty and comment hurtful heart breaking things they do not know me but they still can't keep their mouths closed about things they know nothing about. I walk past Graceland everyday.

Gospel was Elvis's passion, As a child he was accepted by & into the Black Church near his home grew up in the church & even sang in the church choir. It was routine after a concert he & his inner circle would go up to his room hit the piano & sing gospel for hours. The only grammy awards he won were for his gospel work. He worked with so many singers The Sweet Inspiration are there as well with him & Whitney Houston's mother was a member of that group. His backing singers on this are JD Sumner ( Baritone ) & The Stamps.. Anther tru;y amazing version of this song is live with Elvis in a Blue Jumpsuit
