這是貓王Elvis在1967年發行的"How Great Thou Art",

這是一張福音專輯,Elvis抓住每首曲子的特質, 充分發揮他的音質,

尤其在滑音方面運用自如,輕快如"If the Lord Wasn't Walking by My Side",
低訴如"Crying in the Chapel",都是超優的歌曲. 這也讓他再度登上舞台接近"聽眾",
同時為他在1969年的經典鉅作"From Elvis in Memphis"打下了基礎.


"Crying in the Chapel",也是"陶大偉"生前非常喜愛的一首,

陶喆在告別式中特別為他父親獻唱,此曲相當感性~讓我也很欣賞!
