Editorial Reviews

Chronique amazon.fr

Elvis Presley troque ici le blouson de cuir noir pour la canne de pèlerin et abandonne un temps la "musique du diable" qu'est le rock'n'roll pour prêcher la bonne parole du Seigneur. Plus qu'une renaissance, il s'agit en réalité d'un retour aux sources – et d'un hommage à cette culture sudiste qui a baigné son enfance. Et, là encore, dans le gospel, Presley montre qu'il est un chanteur exceptionnel, qu'il possède cette ferveur propre aux preachers des églises baptistes. Ce coffret de trois CD, dont le titre fait référence à l'hymne du gospel moderne du révérend Thomas Dorsey, réunit, pour les deux premiers CD, les trois albums de gospel enregistrés par Elvis durant les années 1960 et au début de la décennie suivante – His Hand In Mine, How Great Thou Art et He Touched Me –, auxquels il faut ajouter des prises alternatives et quelques nouveautés. Le troisième CD, pour sa part, est constitué de treize gospels que l'on retrouve sur le mythique Million Dollar Quartet(1956), ainsi que de "Gospel Medley" et de "Peace In The Valley" enregistrés à l'occasion respectivement du spectacle de la chaîne NBC de 1968 et d'un Ed Sullivan Show. --Philippe Margotin

Customer Reviews

This is where Elvis shines (2003-10-29)

There should have been much, much more Gospel from Elvis. Maybe there would have been with better management. He should have sang "Why Me, Lord?" for 20 minutes instead of "Suspicious Minds". This is a beautiful collection.

If it wasn't for gospel music, we wouldn't have the king! (2003-10-21)

This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful Elvis box set I have ever purchessed in my life. This three CD set features every single gospel recording Elvis ever made and in my opinion his 1960 album His Hand In Mine is the greatest ever. It will bring you to tears when you hear him sing Known Only To Him, He Knows Just What I Need and I Believe In The Man In The Sky. Elvis sounded so good singing these songs and for some reason Crying In The Chappel didn't show up on the album. However it was released as a single in 1965 and it is truly one of the greatest. This is a great set for not only Elvis fans, but true gospel fans also. God bless BMG for this graet set.

great music (2003-10-18)

Although i'm not a christian, i can honestly say that this is the best cd i've ever bought. Almost al of the 82 tracks are great.Don't let the price scare you. Yust buy it.

Beautiful (2003-09-12)

This was the first Elvis recording I'd ever purchased. All songs are wonderful--several of them are breathtaking.

Treasured Collection (2003-06-07)

This three-disk collection of Elvis' complete gospel recordings is priceless to me. I have played it through many times and experience new delights each time. I just finished another play-through and decided I must add my applause along with the other fine reviews. Each disk stands on its own merits as does each individual selection.

Disk One probably is my favorite, because it showcases Elvis' extraordinary voice. I am so awed by his range and how he makes each selection his very own with such deep sincerity and intimacy. Also, the back-up musicians are just right - not too intrusive upon Elvis' voice. HIS HAND IN MINE, IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE, KNOWN ONLY TO HIM, HE KNOWS JUST WHAT I NEED, IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN, WE CALL ON HIM, YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE, and WHO AM I are just a very few of the beautiful songs which leave me so blessed. He was known for his very special renditions of CRYING IN THE CHAPEL and HOW GREAT THOU ART, which was a favorite during stage performances and for which he was awarded a Grammy in 1974. LIFE, which I had never heard before, is unforgettable.

Disk Two has many special selections like ONLY BELIEVE, HE TOUCHED ME, HE IS MY EVERYTHING, and an extra-special live version (1974) of HELP ME. I feel the back-up musicians became too predominate on some tracts which detracted from Elvis himself. His is the voice I prefer to hear unhindered. On the other hand there are some with Elvis improvising alone. There is also some quartet improvising - memorable is TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS/NEARER MY GOD TO THEE. The disk is a valuable part of the set and surely special.

The beginning of Disk Three requires and is well-worth undivided attention. Elvis joined in with Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis in the Sun Studios for some impromptu gospel improvising. This was dubbed the "Million Dollar Quartet" session and took place December 4, 1956 in Nashville. Johnny Cash was also present. Obviously Elvis was already well-versed and accomplished in gospel music. It is wonderful to have these lighter moments preserved, when Elvis was still the charming boy-next-door and in the early stages of his phenomenal rise to stardom. There are more recordings of the beautiful inspirational music Elvis gave us throughout his career. Included also is the gospel medley from his '68 COMEBACK SPECIAL, a memorable live version of HOW GREAT THOU ART from June 1977 (he passed away in August 1977), which proves Elvis could still belt out a song in his last days, and finally PEACE IN THE VALLEY from his Ed Sullivan appearance in January 1957, which has special significance to us older fans.

The booklet enclosed with the album gives background and a nice overview of why Elvis loved to sing gospel for personal inspiration and enjoyment as well as make recordings. I just wish Elvis had drawn on the power of God to help him overcome his personal weaknesses. He might still be singing live, but I am thankful for what he left us. If you are a gospel music fan and even if not, Elvis can touch your heart as few others can. This collection is priceless!!
