by Barry Porter. IT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE I GO….. Someone always comes up to me, touches my arm, and with honest sincerity says, “Of everything Elvis sang, it’s the gospel music that I love the best.”
Elvis’ heart was knitted to the King of Kings. When soon to be girlfriend Linda Thompson visited Graceland, Elvis escorted her upstairs to his bedroom. Whatever heart-pounding thoughts may have raced through her head were just that: only thoughts! Because soon Elvis opened his beloved Bible, pointed to scripture, and for several hours talked of the promises of God.
Elvis loved gospel music so much. And because of this, I am introducing you to the September 2011 issue of “Gospel Music Magazine”(An on-line e-magazine free of charge). Editor in chief, Bill Finley featured my tribute to the gospel side of Elvis. Now you too can experience the spiritual side of the greatest entertainer of all time, Elvis Presley. This publication is filled with the greatest gospel entertainers of our time: Ricky Skaggs, The Hoppers, Elvis Presley, and many more. Be sure to visit
