Veteran journalist Sander Vanocur hosts this documentary that chronicles the influences of gospel music in the life of Elvis Presley. The renowned "King of Rock 'n' Roll" grew up in church and at a very early age influenced by the sounds he heard and impressed with the preachers he saw. Gospel music played a big part in shaping his spiritual life as well as his unmatched recording career. This documentary is filled with personal stories by many who knew him well; and who worked in recording studios and were part of his concerts. There is also the influences Elvis himself had on gospel performers; and the fact that the three Grammy Awards bestowed on Elvis were for gospel recordings. Just a few of those featured(some by archive footage) in this glimpse at the spiritual side of Elvis and his music: Joe Moscheo, Gordon Stoker, J.D. Sumner, Ray Walker, James Blackwood, Jake Hess, Rev. Rex Humbard, Richard Sterban and Joe Guercio.
