    How could anyone give this a thumbs down, must not have a taste for music. Elvis sang better on stage than anyone can sing in A studio. No Autotune , Pure Magic and It all belonged to Elvis

    Elvis with all of his fortune and fame had never forgotten where he came from. As a church goer from his early childhood who loved singing gospel music, he used the concert stage to give praise to God. May God keep his soul into eternal life.

    Elvis may not have lived the perfect life, but to this day, how many people have followed Elvis' voice to Christ and found Christ after listening to Elvis music? He was not a perfect man, but I don't think he wanted to hurt anyone. I think he helped more people with his soothing voice and he will forever, as Christ is forever ready for you when You are ready.

    The Most Powerful, pure crisp, clear voice EVER. He made gospel music popular because you're not suppose to sing that music in the world, that's just suppose to be sung in church. But Elvis included it in his shows, on the Ed Sullivan Show. They didn't want him to do that. RCA didn't want him singing & recording gospel albums & songs & ended up winning grammy awards for gospel music--ARE You kidding me? Winning grammy awards for gospel music. He told them on the Ed Sullivan Show that he promised his mom that he was going to do Peace In the Valley & he did & listen to them scream & holler for it. Incredible. They screamed & hollered in Concerts about it as if it was Don't Be Cruel or You Gave Me a Mountain. He may VERY well have been a famous singer just for gospel music. Good Day!

    Elvis was one of the greatest artist to live....There is no doubt that he is in heaven. He loved the Lord through his gospel music and in his heart. We are all sinners saved by grace and mercy. Who is Grace? Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for allowing us to have someone share his talents with us and still be able to enjoy his music today. How awesome. Lisa Marie your Father was in our home growing up on Friday night, when they would play his movies. Loved his movies. Still watch them when I can today. How Great Thou Art is one of my favorites. Elvis could sing gospel. Praise God! We do have a risen Savior who forgives all our sins.

    Elvis Presley was the best singer a entertainer that ever lived in the 20 th CENTURY a the Gorgeous to nobody will ever top him he will always be remembered a Loved. He was also the most Emotional Gosple singer there ever was I always believed God walked beside him a carried him through his bad times a blessed him w so much ,,, but he did not live a full filling Happy life. I believe he was intensely LONEY by nature a all the bad stuff he went through just added more to this lonely a troubled man's life. I believe he loved two women deeply a couldn't get over besides his mom. one was Priscilla a the other one was Ann Margret. He lost them both ,, because he picked his career a good times over Love.

Look in Elvis's eyes when he sings gospel it is a look of true commitment and glory. Elvis had the PERFECT voice like no other in the world has or will ever see again. As an ETA we all sing to keep the memory, music and magic of the one and ONLY KING OF ROCK AND ROLL alive for ALL ETERNITY.
