Original Recordings Remastered 180g Direct Metal Master Pressing of Elvis singing gospel with The Jordanaires!
Limited edition vinyl import of Elvis Presley performance with the gospel quartet The Jordanaires. The group famously backed 'The King' from 1956 to 1972.
These recordings remind us of the importance of gospel to Elvis Presley's musical sensibility. While Presley made his name in the highly secular and even sexualized performance mode he brought to rock and roll, achieving success in part on the basis of sensation and shock, he had been deeply involved in sacred music all his life.
By mixing multiple traditions, and making a form of pop out of Presley's gospel, these recordings sustain an important element both in the career of Elvis Presley and in the history of American song.
