Elvis grew up listening to gospel music and over the years he evolved from a faithful interpreter to a cutting edge pioneer of the genre. As with his secular music, Elvis invented his own version of gospel, drawing from every element of his vast musical knowledge - without any musical prejudice or racial barriers. His fervor was duly acknowledged with three Grammy awards and with standing ovations every time he performed HOW GREAT THOU ART at his shows. To this day Gospel albums are some of the most popular Elvis titles.
Elvis' second Gospel album HOW GREAT THOU ART was released in 1967 and won a Grammy. HOW GREAT THOU ART is a dramatic, ambitious and almost revolutionary reinterpretation of Gospel.
