Being in the south too, good southern gospel-- Elvis being from Mississippi, gives it that golden touch. GOD smiles on Elvis every time he sings the Gospel
Elvis’ Gospel music won him three Grammy Awards for the three Gospel albums he made. Gospel was his absolute favourite music to sing, & I have read that he was never happier than when he was singing Gospel, even introducing Gospel & Hymns into his secular concerts. Another wonderful Elvis Reaction.
Hi Pluto! I’m not from the south per say, yet Swing Down Sweet Chariot was also a loved song in Ohio. Admittedly, as a child I could only sing the chorus over and over again and It was Elvis Presley who first provided the full lyrics to me in the movie The Trouble with Girls. Initially, I wasn’t certain that it was the same song since I always heard it sung very slowly with the lowest possible mournful voice. Here, Elvis offers his rock/gospel rendition as both joyful and uplifting. We should assume that this how it was meant to be sung since he himself was an angel who waits now on the other side-Hummmmm! Pluto, this song will always be sitting in your heart and it was a lovely experience to watch this with you!❤️
Love that song. He was raised and sang in a black church and was in a gospel choir in that church. Plus he’d go to the revivals. Gospel music was in his soul. 😊🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
The only Grammy Awards Elvis ever won were for Gospel music. "How Great Thou Art" still gives me chills & I'm not from the South. But this kind of music by Elvis -- few could touch him. That's where he started as a boy (Watch Elvis & the Black Community documentary). He was always so comfortable with this music & warmed up with those types of songs before a concert. It's why "In the Ghetto," & "If I Can Dream" were so powerful. And became hits. Even The Beatles & the Rolling Stones couldn't do this as effectively as Elvis. Even the legendary Mahalia Jackson complimented Elvis as one of the best Gospel & Spiritual singers. There are pictures of them together online. How much of an endorsement can you want? As an aside, at 2:11 a straw hat/black jacketed man walks up to the shyster. The black-jacketed guy is Dabney Coleman -- who passed away this week. He was famous as Dolly Parton's boss in "9 to 5" & later in the Dustin Hoffman film "Tootsie." The fire commander in "The Towering Inferno," with Paul Newman & Steve McQueen. Most recently, he was in an episode of "Yellowstone." RIP Dabney. Great job.
Another song that is new to me... I'm not religious at all but this song here....wowwww... I've already watched this reaction multiple times. ELVIS YOU ARE THE GREATEST EVER....❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Pluto, I Think You'll Enjoy This !! 😁 Elvis Presley with JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet and Charlie Hodge Live 1972 From the Filming of "Elvis on Tour" Gospel Jam Session The Lighthouse_I John_Rocka my Soul_Lead Me, Guide Me ruclips.net/video/tOVy0dFQ_1U/видео.htmlsi=o0p5usysZBAM36U4
Perfect! Elvis wanted to be a serious actor but was forced into these formula movies by his murderer, oh I mean manager. Elvis and gospel was the perfect combination! Long live the KING! I'm headed to Memphis in July and I can't wait! So much more new and happening down there since the last time I was there when my children were young (the youngest being 33 now), so it's been A WHILE (as Elvis would say)! Thanks Pluto, I always enjoy watching Elvis with you as well as your other reactions!
Elvis sings gospel like no other. Interesting fact, The only grammy"s Elvis ever won were all for his gospel albums not his pop albums lol. If you like this, might I suggest Elvis's version of "Amazing Grace". Also check out "There will be peace in the valley, Where can I go but to the lord and "Run on". I can name so many more elvis gospel songs as he did so many and they are all so good. Thanks for this reaction I absolutely love this version of Swing down sweet chariot. He first recorded it in 1960 then rerecorded it in 1969 for this movie. The movie is called "The trouble with girls." I prefer this one much more but the 1960 version is worth a listen.
I learned some history from "The Trouble With Girls", after wondering, "What the heck is a Chautauqua?" This is from a chautauqua website: "Chautauqua was a cultural & social movement that started in upstate New York in the 1870s & flourished until the mid 1920s. Hundreds of touring chautauquas presented lectures, dance, music, drama, & other forms of 'cultural enrichment'. "...Lectures by author Mark Twain, suffragette Susan B. Anthony, or a production of “The Tale of Two Cities” are the kinds of entertainment one could expect at a chautauqua show. "It was an instant hit. By the turn of the 20th century there were Chautauquas held one coast to the other. In 1904 the Chautauqua idea got on the rails & went mobile. Held in large brown tents Chautauquas were found in nearly every town in the country. Powered by its superstar speakers, international music stars, theatre, vaudeville, scientists, & politicians it had become a sensation. By 1924, 1,000 Circuit or Traveling Chautauquas were playing in over 10,000 towns with an attendance of over 40,000,000 Americans. "Teddy Roosevelt called Chautauqua, 'The most American thing about America'. The Chautauqua Movement's mix of education & entertainment was the predecessor of today's NPR, TED talks, & influenced modern journalism, television, & politics." I thought it was interesting, anyway.
Great reaction. From the Midwest and had literally never heard the song until seeing it at the movie theater in 1969...have loved it ever since. Lots of other gospel songs recorded by Elvis. He generally performed at least one gospel song at his concerts in the 1970's.
Of course Elvis did it justice it's from The trouble with girls I enjoy the film of course I've got it got all his films some aren't the best but Elvis was a good actor l personally think thank you Pluto as always a joy to watch your reactions 🎉
No one can sing like Elvis. Thank you for sharing. I will probably listen to this one till the cows come home.😂😂 Gets me happy. This was the movie " The Trouble With Girls." I just watched this movie couple weeks ago. Very good movie.❤❤❤
The man on the right of the screen and to the left of Elvis is bass singer Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft (1914-2005). He was the voice of Tony The Tiger of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes fame from 1953 to his death in 2005. His voice was in many movies. J.D. Sumner who was the super bass singer with Elvis from late 1971 through 1977 said Thurl was his musical hero as a bass singer.
There's perhaps a version you might like better it's hard to say they're both pretty good really, On that album you reviewed - His Hand In Mine. Well a track from it.
Elvis on Tour 1970 singing with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps. Singing Spirituals "I John" and "The Lighthouse". The man third from the right in this video is Richard Sturben, who left two years later to join The Oak Ridge Boys. He is still in the band, He is the "Oom Papa Maw Maw" guy from their number one hit "Elvira". ruclips.net/video/tOVy0dFQ_1U/видео.htmlsi=9cuKMd4J8Zvf7Q2G
Music is universal! Elvis can belt gospel and Eminem can rap! Beyonce can sing some hella country. BB King taught Eric Clapton the blues. Music is the ultimate uniter of folks. There is no racial divide in good music! Nor is there an age divide.
- - - - Elvis himself acting was fine, BUT the scripts they gave him and the movie music he HAD to record was not always up to par. Elvis had NO leverage, he was locked into a 10 year contract. However, occasionally there were brilliant songs & good movies in the mid 1960s (the worst period of his movies). Again, quality was not Elvis' fault. Check out a few dramatic films that show what he was capable of when they gave him good content: WILD IN THE COUNTRY, FLAMING STAR, KING CREOLE
As a Southern Gospel fan, this is one of the classic songs and Elvis did a fantastic job with it. His real calling was Gospel Music!
Elvis was at his happiness when he was singing gospel 🙏
Elvis was The Best!!!!
Elvis will always take you to church
Being in the south too, good southern gospel-- Elvis being from Mississippi, gives it that golden touch. GOD smiles on Elvis every time he sings the Gospel

Remember Elvis grew up singing gospel.. He grew up going to primary in black churches.
This was the movie called ;
THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS!!!!
From the South here too and it just doesn’t get better!!Great reaction
Great song and performance by Elvis - so gorgeous x
No one can sing like Elvis. Thank you for sharing. I will probably listen to this one till the cows come home.😂😂 Gets me happy. This was the movie " The Trouble With Girls." I just watched this movie couple weeks ago. Very good movie.❤❤❤
thank you for the video
from this same movie you might enjoy " clean up your own backyard " from It Happened At The Worlds Fair .
Oh man. I forgot Dabney Coleman was in The Trouble With Girls. He always played such sleazy characters but we loved to hate him. R.I.P.
Maybe one of Elvis' greatest Gospel Quartet songs is him singing " Rock My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham" with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps.
The man on the right of the screen and to the left of Elvis is bass singer Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft (1914-2005). He was the voice of Tony The Tiger of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes fame from 1953 to his death in 2005. His voice was in many movies.
J.D. Sumner who was the super bass singer with Elvis from late 1971 through 1977 said Thurl was his musical hero as a bass singer.
Thurl Ravenscroft sang 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in the original cartoon.
Love this....amen 👏🏽💯⚡❤️

Elvis on Tour was 1972 not 1970
can somebody tell me of the 700 songs Elvis sang, how many were rock n roll songs?
This was from Roustabout, I think
Music is universal! Elvis can belt gospel and Eminem can rap! Beyonce can sing some hella country. BB King taught Eric Clapton the blues. Music is the ultimate uniter of folks. There is no racial divide in good music! Nor is there an age divide.
