Elvis grew up rooted in pentecostalism. He attended church and listened to both black and white gospel music, developing an appreciation for quartets.
He sang sacred songs to warm up before recording sessions at RCA studio B in Nashville.
He invited people back to his penthouse suite in Las Vegas for all-night gospel singalongs during his stint of performances in the late 1960s and '70s at the international Hotel.
He loved the sound of gospel. It influenced almost everything he did. He was always very overt when it came to gospel music and his expression of his faith
Let me know what you guys think!!
