Elvis Collector's Gold

"Gospel Part 2"

As a child Elvis attended the First Assembly of God in East Tupelo with his parents. This simple church met in a building not unlike the houses around it in one of the poorer working-class neighborhoods of East Tupelo. The small congregation of about 25 members included relatives of Elvis, on both his mother’s and father’s sides of the family. His father’s cousin, Sayles Presley, was one of the principal singers and had also organized a gospel quartet.

The impact of Elvis Presley on American popular music has been immense. His performance of gospel music gave a certain amount of recognition to gospel music as well. Many people who otherwise would not have listened to gospel did so because of Elvis. He also hit a very American chord in popular taste. Throughout the history of American popular song, there has been an appreciation of nostalgic and inspiring songs; the acceptance of divine inspiration is part of our culture.
