Classic gospel album5
A classic Elvis Presley album, cut at the May 1966 studio sessions in Nashville, the first under the supervision of producer Felton Jarvis, who would be fundamental in the latter part of Elvis' career. Released amidst a series of formula movie soundtracks, the inspired "How Great Thou Art" appeared as a beacon of hope and the harbinger of artistic revitalization that would eventually result in Elvis' comeback of 1968/69. The album, grouping 12 traditional religious songs recorded at the May 1966 session, plus "Crying In The Chapel" from 1960, is a treat from start to end. Outstandingly sung and superbly crafted, it earned Elvis a Grammy Award. Highly recommended.

HOW GREAT THOU ART5
ELVIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GOSPEL SINGERS TO SET FOOT ON THIS EARTH. THIS ALBUM SHOWS HIS TRUE EMOTION AND IF ONE CAN LISTEN TO IT WITH A DRY EYE-HE DID BETTER THAN I. THESE RECORDINGS SHOW THE DEPTH OF HIS VOICE AS WELL AS HIS LOVE FOR GOSPEL MUSIC. I RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ALL MY FRIENDS. IT IS GREAT............................ .

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!5
I'm so addicted to this CD it isn't funny.

I know when most people think of Elvis Presley they think of Rock N'Roll, but he was a very talented and versatile entertainer and did manage to do some spirituals as well. This one in particular is my favourite, and I like to play it when I'm dressing for work in the morning and this allows the music to stay in my head right through the day.

Sung with deep devotion with that smooth velvet voice; I just
cannot resist:-
1.Somebody Bigger Than You and I
2.Farther Along
3.Stand By Me
4.If The Lord Wasn't Walking By My Side
5.Where No One Stands Alone
and the beat goes on.

I love this CD and recommend it for those who have not tried the spiritual side of Elvis. A wonderful gift for a friend!!!
