As Elvis mania continues to consume

gospel in his foundational years,
as well as the comfort, solace, and

THE GOSPEL SIDE OF ELVIS

American icon and one that reveals so much about the
Elvis so many have yet to discover.

 Sorry Joe, the DVD it's better, if you have the DVD don't buy this book... April 27, 2008

This book it's almost the same thing that the DVD: He touched me: The gospel music of Elvis. But the DVD it's better, with music clips, interviews with all the different gospel groups, etc.
In this book Joe sometimes write some words that other people said in the DVD like if they were of himself.
I'm sorry Joe, but I think that a better job could be done.

This is a marvelous book and I really enjoyed reading about the Gospel Side of Elvis. We know he was a spiritual person, but it is so refreshing to hear others talking about what a wonderful person Elvis was. Nothing negative in here, just pure joy to read.

Many people don't realize that Elvis was probably the greatest gospel singer that ever lived. Don't belive me? Purchase the "He Touched Me" DVD, or the "Amazing Grace" double CD. This book reveals this too-often overlooked, or unexplored side of the greatest entertainer of all time.
I really enjoyed Joe's book! October 4, 2007

I read Joe's book in two sittings and obviously enjoyed it very much. He told some stories I'd not heard before and one of the most enjoyable is about Elvis asking everyone in the suite to bow their heads. When someone looked up he admonished them again to "bow your head". I can picture this scene in my mind and I laughed out loud. Wish I could have been there to witness it! Also, while he is not overly critical of the entourage, he doesn't try to hide his feelings regarding their relationship with Elvis. However, I did notice that a few of the "facts" in the book appear to be incorrect. One item says that when Elvis passed away, Vernon sent Elvis' plane to CA to pick up Priscella AND LISA. As we all know, Lisa was already at Graceland. There are a few other discrepancies and they make me a little wary regarding the accuracy regarding other stories. Overall, I would recommend Joe's book to all Elvis fans. It seems that Joe truly cared about Elvis and tried to do something to help him the the last few years of Elvis' life - if only someone could have convinced him to get the help he needed. I MISS HIM!
