He Touched Me: The Gospel Music Of Elvis Presley Vol. 2 (Full Frame)

VHS, SPRING HILL / COMING

To get to the heart of Elvis Presley, witness his enduring love of gospel music. Long before Elvis was heralded as the king of rock 'n' roll, he was a faithful fan of Gospel music. Although it was instrumental in shaping his spiritual life as well as his career, no documentary has truly chronicled this facet of his life...until now. Featuring more than thirty of Elvis' Gospel recordings and never-before-see footage, "He Touched Me: The Gospel Music Of Elvis Presley, Volume II," travels from Elvis' days as a Las Vegas headliner, through the recording of his Grammy-winning final Gospel album, and to his memorial service which featured a host of Gospel greats. Filled with personal stories by many who knew him well, go behind the scenes to hear accounts of all-night singings, marathon recording sessions, and backstage conversations. Examine Elvis' thirty-year friendship with Gospel legend J.D. Sumner. Learn of his lavish generosity and tender kindness toward those around him. Listen as Rev. Rex Humbard recounts an emotional prayer meeting following one of Elvis' performances. You'll see Elvis in a new light as you witness how deeply he was touched by Gospel music.
