(5) GOSPEL ROOTS - MINE and ELVIS PRESLEY'S

Growing up dad read to us from the Bible which was our Sunday School. I grew up with Gospel music and the Baptist Church. I like to listen to the Black Baptist choirs harmonizing down by the river as they baptised their people. Sometimes I made my way into their churches to listen too. They welcomed me. They had tambourines clapping and it was all exciting.

Elvis loved Gospel music and when he sang it, it was as if he became a different entity. He was reaching deep into his Southern spiritual roots.
