Location: Fayetteville, NC | I was flipping around the tube last night and caught a very interesting documentary on Elvis and his Love for Gospel. Alot of interviews with Old Gospel qaurtet guys. In a couple of practice clips. Elvis was singing with aquartet and the guitar player was playing an Ovation. Clear shot of headstock and bowl fromnthe back. definately an ovation. Showed him 2 or 3 times. |

Location: East Tennessee | Hi,
I didn't catch the show but have seen video's of Elvis and his love for gospel music.
Interestingly his only Grammy was for a gospel album. I think he was one of the greatest singers in the past 50 years.
Have a Great Day. :) |

He also recorded one of larry Gatlin's songs, I can't remember the title, Heard Larry and his brothers do it in concert a couple of years ago.
