Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0886970523622 Label: RCA Manufacturer: RCA MPN: 705236 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: RCA Release Date: March 06, 2007 Studio: RCA Editorial Review: Album Description: Revised with 2 significant tracks and artwork not previously included. When Elvis was growing up, the Presley family attended the First Assembly Of God church in Tupelo and subsequently in Memphis. Elvis's music was greatly influenced by attending these churches, but reglious music came to Elvis in many shapes and forms. Religious songs were often part of the repertoire for country stars on the Grand Ol' Opry - a syndicated radio Nashville broadcast that the Presley's almost always tuned into on Saturdays. As a teen, Elvis and his friends would sneak into churches in the black neighborhoods to catch the lively music of a different musical heritage. The welcoming congregation and uplifting sound opened up Elvis's understanding of the multiple facets of reglious music. ULTIMATE GOSPEL provides testament to Elvis's musical excellence and acknowledges the priceless contribution of the talented songwriters, musicians and producers involved. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Elvis gospelNo one can sing more beautiful gospel music than Elvis Presley and this CD is a perfect example of that. It brings tears to your eyes. He puts a whole lot of feeling into all the songs. The songs are my all time favorite gospel songs. Rating:  - Great, soul-warming CDOverall, this CD is a very nice balance between young and old Elvis. (In my opinion, sometimes certain periods of Elvis material can sound very shmaltzy and barring the first track and another, this collection seems to be low on grand, drippy tunes.) It was also nice to be able to preview the tracks for this collection. Rating: - Elvis Gospel CDThe CD is a great overview of Elvis singing Gospel in his prime. Nobody does it better. His whole heart goes into each number, and the backup harmonies by the Jordanaires are beautiful. Rating: - ElvisNo one can sing the gospel hymns like Elvis did. This is a wonderful cd and I really have enjoyed listening to it. Rating: - Elvis: Ultimate GospelThe product ordered arrived in a timely manner and is exactly what my Mother wanted. |
