Album Description: Revised with 2 significant tracks and artwork not previously included. When Elvis was growing up, the Presley family attended the First Assembly Of God church in Tupelo and subsequently in Memphis. Elvis's music was greatly influenced by attending these churches, but reglious music came to Elvis in many shapes and forms. Religious songs were often part of the repertoire for country stars on the Grand Ol' Opry - a syndicated radio Nashville broadcast that the Presley's almost always tuned into on Saturdays. As a teen, Elvis and his friends would sneak into churches in the black neighborhoods to catch the lively music of a different musical heritage. The welcoming congregation and uplifting sound opened up Elvis's understanding of the multiple facets of reglious music. ULTIMATE GOSPEL provides testament to Elvis's musical excellence and acknowledges the priceless contribution of the talented songwriters, musicians and producers involved.

Rating: - Elvis Gospel CD
The CD is a great overview of Elvis singing Gospel in his prime. Nobody does it better. His whole heart goes into each number, and the backup harmonies by the Jordanaires are beautiful.

This is a very revealing picture of Elvis Presley. If you ever wonder if he's a Christian, I think the sincerity of the words show his true feelings. I recommend this CD!
