Crying In The Chapel - Elvis Single Review
Single Review
Throughout his career,the King always made a point of warming up in the studio and rehearsing on stage with a selection of his favourite gospel songs.A DVD now available,titled He Touched Me – The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley,specifically features him jamming his band together after shows.It was a self-indulgent release for him to revisit music from his formative years.He won Grammys for his Gospel albums,but not one for his ‘secular’ pop albums.In the summer of 1965,amidst the onslaught of cutting-edge hits by The Beatles,Byrds and Rolling Stones,this heartfelt release gave him a surprise UK #1,spending 15 weeks on chart.In reality,between his last topper – Devil In Disguise in July ’63 and this from May ’65,Elvis struggled,only getting in the top ten once with Kissin’Cousins.It would be another five years(1970) before hitting the top spot with next week’s release-The Wonder Of You.
