Summary: He Touched Me
Comment: I loved this DVD set. There were a lot of interesting details of Elvis' spiritual recordings and interviews with friends and musicians who were involved. The title is apt for this video. I would highly recommend it to fans of Elvis and those who may just be curious about the man or what inspired him.

Summary: And I'm an atheist !
Comment: I was surfing one night and came across airing on PBS. I love Elvis so I watched. I am not religious but I now own this DVD and CD (as well as "Amazing Grace-His Greatest Sacred Performances"). These songs are the only ones that truly showcase what a great voice Elvis had. Only these Gospel recordings let you hear how great he was vocally. If you really like to hear Elvis SING you have to get his Gospel works to really appreciate his voice. If you like his voice but aren't religious, trust me you can tough it out. Belief or not, the sentiment is beautiful and the vocals make it more so.

Summary: No words to describe...
Comment: When Elvis died, I was only a year or two old. I still grew up listening to him; thanks to my mom. I especially loved his gospel music and how it always brought a positive spirit whenever or where ever I listened to it.
Years ago, my mother and I were talking nearly all night long during one of those rare times, when we decided to turn on the TV. On one of the cable channels (I can't remember which) showed "He Touched Me" and we ended up watching the whole program. During the commercial breaks, they would advertise on how you can buy the DVD to own. At the time, my mother didn't like buying things for herself because Christmas was coming and I knew she so very much wanted to get it. At that point, my mind started working on how I would surprise her for Christmas in a creative way. During the Christmas season, I took a chance and went to a store and asked if they had "He Touched Me". As luck would have it, they did and ended up buying the last one. I hid the gift inside another gift, so when she opened the gift I bought her when she wanted to use it, it would appear during one of her private times. Luckily I was there when she discovered it and she couldn't stop crying. That in itself was worth all of the money I spent, and more. She still watches it to this day when she feels a little down or wants something "positive" to watch from the negative we hear so much of these days.
This DVD is so inspirational and a real look on Elvis' private times when he wanted to get closer to the Lord. For any Elvis or religious fan this is for you!

Summary: He Touched Me - The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley
Comment: This is a great (2) disk DVD set that shows a side of Elvis that was not as well known as the "King of Rock & Roll" side was. Many of the King's closest friends and work companions give insight into his true first love, singing Gospel music. Elvis is shown as a deeply spiritual person who spent many hours singing hymns with friends. Thsi is truly a great and moving DVD for listeners of all ages.

Editorial Reviews:

Often overlooked in Elvis Presley's career is his love of the Southern gospel tradition, though he had hits with actual gospel tunes ("You'll Never Walk Alone") and some simply steeped in gospel sensibilities ("In the Ghetto"). He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley features music and interviews with contemporaries talking of Elvis's determination to keep gospel part of his repertoire; once he angered Ed Sullivan by insisting on performing "Peace in the Valley" on his show despite Sullivan's instructions not to. There are many gems ("Where Could I Go," "How Great Thou Art") and some hunks of cheese ("Swing Down, Sweet Chariot" from The Trouble with Girls). This could have been a strong two-hour documentary, but unfortunately the producers padded it into three, meaning some clips make multiple appearances. --Anne Hurley
