No, Elvis never sang or recorded Leonard Cohens "Hallelujah", since that song was written 7 years after Elvis died... Very difficult for him to record anything then, 7 years dead... The video in YouTube, claming it to be Elvis, is Ron Jesse singing... in 2011...


Did Elvis Presley record Piaf's song Three Bells on his religious album or any album?

Elvis Presley did not record Edith Piaf's song "Three Bells" on his religious album or any of his albums. "Three Bells" is a song originally recorded by The Browns in 1959. It is a country song, not associated with Elvis Presley's repertoire. Presley's religious album, "How Great Thou Art," released in 1967, features gospel and spiritual songs, but not "Three Bells."

Why did the Jordanaires stop singing with Elvis Presley?

In 1969, six weeks before Elvis went to the Hilton in Vegas, the Colonel's Office called for them to work with Elvis in his shows. They had 35 recording sessions already booked for the dates he needed, so, they could not go. They got in touch with the Imperials, who had done the "How Great Thou Art" album with them and they went in their place. Elvis loved all gospel music and the ones who sang it.
