RCA's first single-disc anthology of the best of Elvis Presley's gospel recordings, ELVIS ULTIMATE GOSPEL is one of the master's purest records. As the legend of the King states, gospel was Elvis's favorite form of music up until his death, the music he was most likely to sing for fun and for himself. As a result, the 24 tracks here are Elvis at his most relaxed and unaffected, and contain many of his finest and most heartfelt vocal performances.

Very powerful performances and of course Elvis' voice is unmatched. He was made to sing Gospel and he puts his heart into every performance. The only Grammies he won were for his Gospel recordings. I know there are many Elvis Gospel collections available, but this one is his best single CD Gospel collection! To top this one you would have to get the 2 CD "Amazing Grace" or the 3 CD "Peace in the Valley" set.
The 2007 release is slightly different than the original "Elvis Ultimate Gospel" CD released in 2004. On the 2007 version they added two songs "In My Father's House" and "An Evening Prayer" and deleted "Miracle Of The Rosary". I guess you could say it is the Protestant version of "Elvis Ultimate Gospel". If you like Gospel music and don't want to spend a lot of money on multi-CD releases, I highly recommend this CD.
The CD was a minor hit in the US when it was first released in 2004, reaching 9 on the Top Christian Albums chart and 30 on the Country Albums chart. It would eventually be certified GOLD by the RIAA.
