Thanks Sue, that would have been a Great Song for Elvis to sing. :love:

Absolutely beautiful and my heart is in complete accord with what you said dear FairyTale about how this would've been such a perfect song for our precious Elvis to record and sing!! :wink:

I think he would've just loved it! :wink:

In my ears I was hearing Nat and Mahalia singing this song, but in my mind and in my heart, I was hearing our sweet Elvis' beautiful voice gently and lovingly singing these very touching lyrics. :love:

Many thanks Sue my sweet angel for posting the link to this wonderful song for us! :wink:

You're very welcome, ladies!

This is one of my favorite spirituals and am DEFINITELY in accord/agreement with you both, I would have LOVED to have heard our Elvis sing this, how fantastic this would be!!

Another spiritual is 'Ave Maria', now I believe Elvis sang a few lines of this song in a concert in early 70's, maybe you may know more?, but I think it's so pretty and would have loved to have heard the full version as I'm sure you ELC angels would have, too!

Thank you Sue this is beautiful I can imagine Elvis singing this song!!

Love the song 'Ave Maria' wish there was the full version of Elvis singing that song would love to hear it!!

Most definitely count me in as another who loves the song "Ave Maria" and who absolutely would've loved Elvis to record/sing this entire song!! :wink:

In reading what you dear ladies said, it made me want to do some checking and I was able to find at least 1 line of it that Elvis started to sing immediately after "I Got A Woman" in much the same fashion that he did the "Amen" chorus after J.D. and The Stamps joined his show. :wink:

When he does attempt it though, it seems to me that he wasn't too comfortable with the way the audience responded to it so he immediately stopped and finished up I.G.A.W.

This is just the way it seems to me and I'd love to hear what you think my dear angels when you listen it.

If what I feel is the case, then it really saddens me because even in just that one line, you can feel his beautiful spiritual heart in it and like he really did want to sing more of it than what he did.

In any case, the part in question starts at the 4:49 mark if you only want to listen to this one part of the clip since it is a 10:21 clip. :wink:

Hey Mari, many thanks for the link and for checking this out for us! Is very kind of you, dear angel!;

I and other ELC members, I'm sure, very much appreciate your time and effort to find the you-tube link!

Yes, by listening to the clip I can say am in complete agreement with you! Is such a shame he didn't get the reaction he wished for too!

Is very quietly sung, maybe he guessed he wouldn't get such a great reaction to a spiritual song in the gambling city of the world?! Still didn't stop him singing it and a brave choice to attempt!

You and all of my ELC angels are very welcome for the link I posted Sue my dear friend. :love:

When I'm doing things for people I love and care about, I don't really think of it as time or effort.... "really"(as our dear Elvis used to say :wink:

). I just enjoy doing whatever I can to help whenever I can. :wink:

I so appreciate you giving your opinion of the line of '"Ave Maria" that Elvis sung after you listened to it my sweet friend! :wink:

I agree that even though it seems like he didn't get the reaction he was probably so hoping for when he started singing it, BRAVO to our guy for making the choice and attempt to do so!!! :wink:

You're very welcome for the feedback/comments about Ave Maria, dear Mari! Totally agree to all your thoughts/feelings re this as above ! I meant to reply to this yesterday, very :oops:

but it kept throwing me out of the system, just on Spiritual Path section so not sure what happened there! Anyways, finally able to reply today, phew!

Sorry to hear that you kept getting thrown out of the system Sue my dear friend

but am very glad that you were able to get back in!! :wink:

No worries at all about not being able to reply sooner sweet angel because as you know, I know and can more than understand about the "wonders" of modern technology and what a pain in the butt they can be sometimes. :wink:
