Elvis Presley was born and raised in
the 'Bible Belt' of USA. He read his Bible and prayed
regularly. He was " a good man who also
struggled with many challenges in his life. He was a deeply
religious man."
Elvis was eager to share his knowledge and in the
mid sixties he held Bible studies at his home in Bel Air,
California, where he lived while making films. In the
seventies Elvis started to include more Gospel songs in his
concerts and had the Gospel groups, the Imperials, the Sweet
Inspirations and later, J.D. Sumner and the Stamps as his
backing singers. He was also known to read passages from the
Bible on stage during his concerts and insisted that the
audience be reverently quiet while J.D. and the Stamps sang
'Sweet, Sweet Spirit'.
Elvis did not like being called the
King. When fans used to shout out from the audience "Elvis
you're the King". He would reply, "No honey, there is only
one King and that is Jesus Christ". Home |

Great Thou Art'. During concert performances of this song,
Elvis would sometimes personalize the song by singing
'My
God how great I think You are'.
