Kathy Westmoreland October 18, 1976

Elvis was never one to shy his band and backup singers from the spotlight. From time to time, he requested they come out to the center of the stage and sing one of their songs. Bill Baize with When It's My Time, JD Sumner on Walk That Lonesome Road, and Sherril Nielsen with several songs.
The other person is Kathy Westmoreland who began her career with Elvis a week after filming wrapped for TTWII, and stayed until the very end. Elvis "loved" her a lot, and gave her a lot of teasing on stage, but that all stopped when he requested her to sing My Heavenly Father.
RCA refuses to ever let this song be released on Elvis recordings so until it's inclusion in the Bruce Jackson 3 cd pack, we never had an official release with only bootleg soundboards to acknowledge they were. Finally at last we have Kathy singing her heart out to god with a lovely rendition of My Heavenly Father. Enjoy.

First time hearing this & I’m on my 4th time listening. Kathy = Amazing. 🎶

This is one of my most consistently watched videos, and I kinda just did it as a throwaway because FTD had never released Kathy singing the song. It was only available through bootlegs and long story short, everyone loves the video. Thanks for the comment.

Reminds me of those old ladies in my Baptist church growing up that put me to sleep

Excellent for the high notes that woke me up.

I had a chance to meet Kathy in Philadelphia back in 1978 . There was a Elvis convention, and I walked around the booths and watched some concert footage and low and behold Kathy was a " Special Guest " attending this convention.
I'll always regret not approaching her and saying hello. To this day , it's one of my biggest regrets. You could tell she was a wonderful person .

Elvis ha detto a khate di cantare il mio Padre celeste al suo funerale, lui sapeva di morire giovane, e kathe molto emozionata l'ha fatto, loro due si sono voluti bene bene e amati sinceramente
