How Great Thou Art - Elvis Presley album - was created on 1967-02-27.
Priceless ...
Elvis had MANY favorite Gospel Songs but one that he loved to perform onstage was "How Great Thou Art". One that he loved to "warm up to" (i.e. before performing onstage) was "I John".
This is a subjective question. It is a matter of opinion, not necessarily record sales. The following are what I believe the five of the best Elvis albums: LPM-1254 Elvis Presley (in original mono, not reprocessed stereo effect) LPM-1707 Elvis' Golden Records (in original mono, not reprocessed stereo effect) LPM-4088 Elvis (aka. Elvis' Comeback Special) LSP-3758 How Great Thou Art (in true stereo) - Genre: Gospel VPSX-6089 Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite (of all the live albums, this was is great, more seasoned voice)
I think you can reach him at one of his Elvis sites. trywww.elviscollector.info. hope this helps

It seems unbelievable, but Perry Como never recorded "How Great Thou Art" even though he did sing it on his show.

The King of Rock 'n' Roll won three Grammy Awards for gospel recordings. He won for the albums "How Great Thou Art" (1967) and "He Touched Me" (1972), and for his live concert recording of "How Great Thou Art" (1974).
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.
Pop art sprang up in the mid 1950s in Great Britain and late 1960s in the United States.
Elvis Presley won three Grammy awards, all in the Gospel genre!# How Great Thou Art - Best Sacred Performance (1967) # He Touched Me - Best Inspirational Performance (1972) # How Great Thou Art - Best Inspirational Performance (Non-Classical) (1974) (source: www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/Winners )Elvis' first recording was in 1954 with Sun Records. Some of his best work was recorded early in his career, before the Grammys awards were introduced in 1958. That was the year Elvis entered the U.S. Army. After completing his two years of service, he was focused on Hollywood. He did not get serious about his music again until the late 60's.
