Elvis Presley - HOW GREAT THOU ART ( Reaction).
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Most call him King of Rock but from what I've learnt so far on my journey of learning from the oldies, Elvis always acknowledges JESUS as the king of kings. He not only says it, but walks the talk!!!! I wonder what the tabloids wrote about him on this day that he paused between a concert and acknowledged the one and only Living GOD with his worship (NOT PERFORMANCE) of HOW GREAT THOU ART.
Today, watching this, the spirit of GOD was evidently powerful upon him. I watched this several times and each time, his worship compels my soul to join in worship.
There is SOOOOOO much I'm learning from this GREAT GREAT GREAT LEGEND. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE ELVIS. I don't sincerely see anyone who could impact and be massive in talents, heart and the love of GOD like him!!! No wonder, my very good RUclips friend, @Max Lennon burns with so much jealous love when any emerging modern day singer shows up. Listening to Elvis constantly, makes every other modern day Vocalist no matter how truly great they are, sound like children.
Join me on this exciting journey into the world of Elvis Presley Gospel music.
I would very much appreciate more suggestions.

Christine, I have watched hundreds of video reactions but this one moved me the most, displaying your passion, authenticity, and professionalism. I wanted to see your tears even though you could not see mine. Though I would be at least 10,000 kilometres away from you, you touched my inner self and imparted to me something precious but unexplainable. Thank you for this.
Awwwwnnnnn thank for this generous AND MOVING compliment Merry Wave❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, exactly.
You are French?
@@christineokosun Your reaction touched me deeply. Like mostly all of us, we had tears streaming down our faces. Our spirit connected with God. The way you connected to this song was awesome. You were worshiping God also. This song pulled you right in as it did me and many others.
Every time I listen to Elvis sing this great gospel song I always get goosebumps. No one will ever be able to do it like Elvis!
This king knew his King!
Worship away King Elvis!!
You are Beautiful Child We love Elvis
Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. I wasn't born when he was making waves but I love him. I learned a lot from his music and life especially through the resources that his old fans blessed me with.
Elvis was never ashamed of being a wonderful Christian man
I don't want to say rare cos I hoping there'll be other mainstream artist that have done like him or would do this.
I'm 65 years old and have probably heard this around 100 times and never heard it with dry eyes. Each time I heard Elvis sing How Great Thou Art, I can tell he was singing straight to God and at the time, nothing else mattered.
Exactly!!! And that's how it should be when a true worshipper takes us along to the throne of Mercy
I was born in 1968. Elvis came back to the TV with his comeback special. I grew up listening to Elvis and all the greats of that time with my parents! I even did what they call the hound dog dance lol. No matter what music I like now which is primarily blues but I like all genres of music! In fact my favorite group on a whole is motley Crue! My favorite blues players are Stevie Ray Vaughan Joe Bonamassa, Buddy Guy, BB King and so on and so on I think the blues are the greatest things ever. But when I hear Elvis saying I have to concede! Truly just the greatest!
Yes! He truly was in a supreme class all by himself. Out of all the blues artist you mentioned, I've only heard the name BB King. Thanks for mentioning others! That's why I love this comment section. Fastor education and enlightenment 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My man Elvis beautiful inside and out
Everytime I listen to this song I get all teary eyed because in the US we need more of that now
Thank GOD he recorded some gospel albums that carry serious presence of the KING OF KINGS!!!
Though I'll definetly be crying but I'll have at the end of the day, a means to transport myself to GOD'S presence like Elvis did with his band members through singing gospel songs hours after a show and in this case, gave a circular, large audience, a glimpse of what heaven is about.
All the world, friend! 😔🙏🏼
Just beautiful
The very best there was what an amazing song what harmony. May Elvis rest in peace. 😢❤
That’s why Elvis was and is the greatest entertainer ever !!
This is why Elvis fans are so passionate about his music. I love anyone who takes the time to praise God. Thank you for posting this.
The fact that he loved GOD unashamedly and boldly, sets him apart for me!!!
Beautiful, Beautiful!! Thank you God for Elvis!
the best singer to walk this earth
Cry cry baby cry it ok I'm crying too! God touched us
Look at Elvis eyes when he says I see the stars. I believe he saw something!!
Beautiful. Even now he is still, who he is. No matter his faults he was a man of God. One of a kind
We all have our flaws. He was indeed one of a kind like you rightly said!!!
No one can sing Gospel like Elvis Presley. His music lives on.
Elvis wasn't just singing gospel. He was ministering heavily with the spirit of ALMIGHTY GOD.
All of us cry too. Every time. He was so wonderful for a reason. Such talent. So bittersweet to hear his voice. I feel blessed to have been in a time to see him in Vegas when we were all young and beautiful. Back up singers so great. The Stamps Quartet, The Sweet Inspirations and Kathy Westmoreland the gal with the high voice.
RIP Elvis and Lisa 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸wir werden euch nie vergessen. 🙏
He loved Jesus! ❤
Elvis won a Gospel Grammy for How great thou art. He won 3 Grammy awards for gospel albums.
SURE DID 😊
There is not another I know on this planet that can sing gospel like Elvis and his people
My soul is singing! Peace
I have been listening to Elvis for 60 decades now and I still get teary-eyed and sometimes cry when I hear this performance but even a stronger performance to me the best performance of this song from him what's the last time he sang it live in his last concert even though his body had given way 2 illness and abuse of prescribed medication his gift never gave way he sang the song very strong very passionate. Whitney Houston's mother Cissy Houston was one of his backup singers in the Sweet Inspirations the name of their group
His gift was one of a kind!!!! A couple of people have also mentioned that I should listen to the the version he did before he passed.
We were so blessed to have him
Really blessed. 💞💞
when he says "take it boys" and his choir sings, you can see the pleasure he feels with their vocals.. he smiles when they are done.. his voice is SO STRONG, this is one of my all time favorites
The greatest of all time 👑
ELVIS is and always will be The KING of Music.👑👑👑
He hated being called king.
Elvis was a gift from God. He gave it everything when he song Gospel because it was so important to him.
I think Elvis knew he wouldn't live long but he knew it was a important role to spread the word of god. He was a beautiful soul who wanted to give back to life.
He was 1 in 7 billion. I miss him
I feel like I know him just by studying him😭
Jesus is King 👑 RIP Elvis 🙏🏽
I love that he acknowledged JESUS IS KING❤️
goosebumps and tears.. only way to describe this feeling
Elvis could sing all types of music.
He had a very solid vocal technique
The greatest gospel artist ever
I lose it in church when we sing this hymn. I tear up and get choked up every time.
What a magnificent performance, Elvis only had the best backup singers and they were true professionals.
He sure did have the best of the best with him!!!! 💕💕
He was too his concerts in Vegas are the stuff dreAms are made of 😅
Christine, I love Elvis, and grew up on his music. I am 71 years old now, but I am still moved by his music, especially his Gospel music. I would like to say however, I saw the devotion in your face at the wonderful singing of this song, and I believed I was more moved by hearing your heart in your face. God bless you my African sister, I am moved.
Thank you soooo much sir!!! 🙏🙏🙏💕
This Song can bring me down to my knees. It makes me humble and I thank God for loving us so much that he sacrificed himself for us sinners. He became man and every time we committed a sin, we are at fault for his suffering. Every lash he received was due to our sins. Through his action he gives us a chance to become clean. I love you God.
Same here! I can't watch Elvis or listen to him minister this song, without buckling and simply Worshipping
Elvis was a very spiritual man who loved the Lord Jesus Christ.
The fact that he was unafraid and unashamed to show it made me love him more
Elvis was a gift from God to this earth.....44 years later and we still love him!!!❤ and he still takes us to church!
44 years! That shows aside from the obvious GOD factor in and upon him, there's something/somethings he did right to still impact on people who weren't even born(like me) when he was impacting the world.
Wow I'm in Alabama in the southern USA and couldn't hold back the tears had to let my 87 year old mother see your reactions...God's anointing was in this song...God Bless
I felt that as well. I uploaded his performance of the American Trilogy yesterday but unfortunately it was BLOCKED. That was not just a performance. It was a Ministration to me! Oh how I wish it wasn't blocked! I so would want to share every emotion and journey the American Trilogy took me through!
Have teary eyes with all his gospel songs.emotionally touched. Grew up with these songs”
Gospel was Elvis's passion,
As a child he was accepted by & into the Black Church near his home grew up in the church & even sang in the church choir.
It was routine after a concert he & his inner circle would go up to his room hit the piano & sing gospel for hours.
The only grammy awards he won were for his gospel work.
He worked with so many singers
The Sweet Inspiration are there as well with him & Whitney Houston's mother was a member of that group.
His backing singers on this are The Jordanaires..
They were his favorite travelling gospel group growing up..
Once as a kid because he was so poor he tried to sneak into the tent but was caught by one of the singers.
He looked at Elvis & in an act of kindness let him stay.
He never forgot that & when he hit it big he called them and asked if they would be his backup singers.
His gospel songs are my favorite
Christine, our Sister in God, we love you and appreciate seeing your love for our Father and His son's devotion to God. God be with you always.🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Amen!!! Thank you!
Elvis took us to church, AMEN! He may have been the King of Rock and Roll but the man loved singing gospel and won his only Grammy Awards in that category! Thank you for your beautiful, genuine, heart-felt reaction! Peace be with you!
He definitely took me to church for real!!! Thanks a lot for your kind compliment 🙏🙏🙏
✝️wonderful ✝️✝️.....HE IS THE BEST ARTIST FOR ME ..THE PACKAGE ...HUMBLE 🕊 GOOD LOOKING MOST IMPORTANT HIS LOVE FOR ALMIGHTY GOD ....WITH THAT VOICE...U MY SISTER IN CHRIST SEE AND HEAR WHAT I FEEL TO GOD BLESS U ALWAYS IN JESUS MATCHLESS NAME AMEN
His love for GOD is the ultimate topping for me too. AMEN to your prayers 🙏🙏
That was a great reaction. Elvis was nominated 14 times for the Grammy awards and won three times for his gospel music. In 1967 he won best sacred performance for How Great Thou Art. In 1972 he won best inspirational performance for He Touched me and in 1974 again for How Great Thou Art recorded live in Memphis
Thanks a lot for your kind compliment 💞💞. Heaven gained a MIGHTY musician!!!!
JD Sumner was his bass singer was put in the Guinness world records for having the deepest singing voice in the world.
goosebumps
It’s ok to cry. I cry with a lot of his Gospel music. It’s so pure and one can tell it’s his favorite. He received 3 Grammys for his Gospel music. Can you imagine? With all he was famous for and all the top hits, he was proudest of his Gospel music for he truly loved the Lord and always spoke with those who were religious what his feelings were along with asking those questions he searched for about God. You were wonderful reacting to this. I thank you for your emotions. It’s pure and nothing wrong with it.
Thank you so much sir for your compliment to my reaction and for the information you provided as well🙏🙏🙏
Elvis said he felt he should honor God in every concert with a song. He did love God. Elvis had his faults but he had so much more good traits. Thank you for listening to this song. It is so powerful. R.I.P Elvis 👑💕
He who is without fault should he e the first to cast a stone. That's what I tell people who did not bother to really research on his life but rather choose to carry the false torch of proclaiming that he was a racist. The simple question I ask is why does he have black back up singers??? Crazy!!!!
Elvis was warned not to do this song in Vegas, that the audience would not be ready for this type of music. He did it anyway, and received a five minute standing ovation. This song, and «Why Me, Lord» , was included in hundreds of concerts. Elvis LOVED gospel music, and released three albums with gospel music during his lifetime. Incredibly enough, he received only three Grammys, all for his gospel music. Elvis, missed by millions to this day. The background vocals was done by J.D. Sumner and the Stamps quartet, Elvis’ favourite gospel group.
Christine... I agree with and love you very much!
Thank you!!! 💕💕
"Where two or more gather in my name, there am I in their midst"🙏
I seen some emotional reactions but this one surpassed all of them! We can feel GOD when he sings gospel. Im happy that now you know Elvis, because everyone deserves this Gift, he was a gift from GOD to all of us. You have been missing out, but now you know him. Please dont stop reacting to Elvis.
JD Sumner the bass a legend. Cathy Westmoreland highest pitch. So loved your appreciation of these elements. Cathy was a babysitter of my sister'school friend and even back then we thought WoW. I love this version thank you for sharing. God Bless. ❤ I was 10, and present that night. I will never forget the experience. We had to just sit and absorb what we witnessed when the concert was over. Powerful.
Your reaction is beautiful, it's exactly what Elvis would have wanted he was very religious.
Thanks a lot 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
How great is your heart Christine
One of my favorite hymns growing up, in fact I played it on my acoustic guitar on a windswept prairie in the middle of nowhere Kansas when my grandmother died and was buried there because it was one of her favorite hymns, along with Leaning on the Everlasting Arms. It will always mean so much to me but I remember completely loving it as a little kid in church. He just knocks the shit out of this. And so does the band and the backing choirs definitely.
He feels every word deeply and sincerely.💕💕💕💕💕
I am not American. First time I have heard gospel, was from Elvis and I loved it! Thank you Christine for your great reaction to this great artist!
Thank you too!!!💕💕💕💕
JD Sumner is the bass singer you heard , he held the Guinness World Record for 18 years for having the lowest bass note
He's the only basso profundo that I have ever heard!!!
@Max Lannon WOW!!!! There'll be someone out there yet unknown. 18years of Guinness world record of lowest bass note!!!!!!!!
@Max Lannon , no he doesn't, Tim Storms has hit a G-7. That is a G 7 octaves below the lowest G on a piano, only animals can hear it. It is below human hearing. It takes 5 seconds for his vocal chords to vibrate for that note. Verified by Guinness. Tim also holds the record for greatest range of a man at 10 octaves.
@@christineokosun, check out the acapella group Home Free. Tim Foust is the bass. He is a true bass profundo with a 5 octave range.
@Max Lannon , you stated that JD Sumner still held the record. I was just correcting your mistake. I loved JD Sumner and the Stamps. Elvis was amazed by JD. No disrespect intended towards you. Peace.
You are right, my sister! Courage we all need these days. God is good.
All the time!!!!
notice how energized he was after he finished. gospel was his first true love in music
He was specially gifted to convey GOD'S presence to the world! 💞
It moves my spirit also.
I watch his perfomance of this from time to time as my personal worship session
All Elvis gospel songs are heart felt and besutuful...he loved the Lord with all his heart an you can hear it in his voice💕💞
I agree with this a million percent if there's such a thing!
What a wonderful Spirit filled reaction. Thank you
It's was an undeniable SPIRIT FILLED MINISTRATION by sir Elvis Presley 💯❤️. The atmosphere it triggers each time, is untouched and very much potent which goes to say, that rendition carried a heavy Anointing that will forever remain potent each time it's played if Christ tarries.
He got his only Grammy awards for his gospel music, this being one of them..
ive always loved Elvis's voice butespecially when he sings Gospel.I feel he was very sincere.
Thank You Very Much Christine, God bless you
AMEN!!! and you too🙏🙏🙏
I love you and our savior does too! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. 🙏🏽
so movin E l v i s Rest in Peace love from Italy
Yes rest on dearest Elvis
Milky white way is another Elvis gospel and run on you absolutely have to see
Gospel was his very favorite to sing.
And his gospel songs are my favourite
Christina, there are many who react to Elvis on You Tube, but you are the BEST! Now you understand how we Elvis fans have never stopped loving and appreciating him all these years. His God given talent was evident in his voice, and his voice could almost perform miracles that transport you. Whether Elvis was thin, overweight, sick or well, it never made a difference to us who loved him for the man and entertainer he was. God bless him!
Thank you @Loretta Dinapoli!!!!! 💃💃💃🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen!
🌹✝️Definitely...THE PACKAGE and HIS LOVE FOR ALMIGHTY GOD .
🕊✝️✝️✝️🙏🐑
My favorite Elvis music is when he sings gospel songs. My mother always used to say " God was really showing off when he created Elvis"
Taking me to church 🙌 He started singing Gospel in his church. You can feel each word in your soul. ❤🙏❤
My dearest Christine, your reactions to Elvis are so special and heartwarming. Thank you! Sending peace and love from Brook Park Minnesota...... Long live Elvis
Thank you!
Cold chills coming
Christine there is a group well actually 3 young men they are called ll Volo they sing together in many languages butvWe Are Love is the best it makes me cry 😭 please if you can find it and give us a reaction
Christine; God is GREAT, keep up the amazing reactions👏
If Elvis's rendition of this gospel song doesn't stir your soul, NOTHING WILL !
No lie told!!!!
Thank you for you reaction to one of God's children that used his gifts and talents to help change the world during his time. He was raised with God, and unlike some of his peers, he never forgot his roots, and that God was his everything. He was afraid to include God in his performance. As for me, I am a front line health care worker. For the past 18 months have not been able to attend church service due to the pandemic. Just like Elvis who stopped a concert to worship God, I too, have stopped during my duties to worship God in spirit and in truth. I thank God for the gift he gave the world. Even though he was only here for 42 years, Elvis planted seeds that continues to bare fruit to this day. God bless you 🙏
He made an impact that still resounds years after his passing. Now that's fulfilling purpose 💕
Christina there are a lot of people reacting on RUclips. I just want to say it is complete joy watching you react. You are a fresh of breath air to watch. I’m a huge Elvis fan and I love you knowledge and passion you react with.
I just want to say thank you
Thank you!!!! I really do appreciate your kind compliment 💞💞💞💞
Joseph...agree 100% I usually give a note about Elvis. Christine does not need any explanation....she gets it completely!
Amen!!!
I felt it too! Amazing!!!
That's Elvis!!!
Thank you Christine Okosun! Very nice to see your love for the Lord!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽
My favourite hymn. Oh God how GREAT Thou truly art!
Great is thy faithfulness used to be my all time favourite and prayer hymn but ever since I heard Sir Elvis sing this hymn, this is now my favourite 💞💞💞
Elvis' true love was gospel. As a teen he was a member of the East Trigg Avenue Baptist Choir led by the great gospel composer and Civil Rights gadfly W. Herbert Brewster. (Brewster said "Elvis' voice was the voice of Calvary. He had that kind of bent and inclination and ATTITUDE that suggested that God could use him.")
Elvis saw his rock songs as "bubblegum," much as he loved rock and roll. He warmed up for those performances (even on the set of Jailhouse Rock) by singing gospel. He unwound from his concerts the same way, late at night in his suite with his backup singers and celebrities and ordinary people who joined him. As his backup Cissy Houston said, "You can't get away from your roots. Everything Elvis did had that gospel flavor."
I totally agree with your statement "you can't get away from your roots". 4500 That's why the Bible says train up your child in the way that he may grow.
Beautiful reaction! Elvis has the gift to make you "feel"... even if you mother language is not English... no matter where you are from... or your age... Greetings form Chile!
I totally agree!!!💕💕💕
No one could sing Gospel like Elvis did ❤️❤️
He sings with sincerity
My reaction was the same as yours, I could feel the Holy Spirit
And to only imagine years after that recording was done still has the same potency 🔥🔥🔥
Amen
Halleluyah!!!
God Bless you. I feel the same.
Amen!! And you too🙏💕
Your reaction was beautiful ...and shows your love for God...thank you......
Thank you soooo much ma'am. 🙏🏽
Amen💙
Amen
Loved the reaction....another song to hear JD Sumner sing bass is Why Me Lord...Elvis as a 14 year old would watch JD Sumner and his quartet at gospel meets. JD tells the story of not seeing Elvis there one week and asked why he hadn't been at the show and Elvis said he didn't have the money for the admission and J D told him not to worry about money again he would let him in free next time 😍 when Elvis started touring in early 70s he wanted JD and his Stamps Quartet to sing backing...they weren't sure as they were obviously gospel but Elvis convinced them. Elvis was so proud to have the deepest bass sing with him...JD was like a second father figure to him...JD sang at Elvis funeral 😪
What a turn!!!! So sad that he he died young 😢😢
Yes ! Love J.D SUMNER
Elvis loved his back up singers. The Sweet Inspirations. 💞🙏 You're a beautiful lady. I felt God while watching you. The back up singers sound heavenly!! ❤
Thanks a lot for your compliment!!! His Ministration of HOW GREAT THOU ART WAS A MINISTRATION NOT JUST A PERFOMANCE.
Do have a blessed Easter!!! 💞💞💞
@@christineokosun you as well my friend ✝️ 💜🙏 It wasn't nails that held Jesus to the cross, it was LOVE💜🤍
ELVIS, DID NOT STOP THE CONCERT TO DO THIS SONG!!!!!! GOSPEL SONGS WERE A PART OF EVERY CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His soul still reaches those who listen. It makes sense why he made the Hall of Fame for Gospel.
As very well deserved. His gospel carried GOD'S touch.
Elvis believed in God since a child i love him.
That reason endeared me to study him even more!!! 💞💞
We just witnessed you being filled with the Holy Spirit right before our eyes. God Bless.
Praise GOD 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
