There was no doubt that Elvis was a man touched deeply by the Christian faith. His religious roots can be traced back to a small Assembly of God church in Tupelo, Mississippi. Hits including: "Hound Dog" "Jailhouse Rock" and "All Shook Up" may have gotten Elvis a platinum record. But it was the Gospel song "He Touched Me" that won Elvis his only Grammy.
Elvis died August 16, 1977 at age 42. (AGAPE PRESS.com)
