Description: So entrenched was the public perception of Elvis as a hell-raiser, that the announcement he was making a record of Christmas songs sent the world into a tailspin.Released in 1957, 'Elvis’ Christmas Album', showed that Elvis had created a template for all future Christmas recordings: no rock star had ever undertaken such a project and it was Elvis who paved the way…
Over the years, Elvis would always warm-up in recording studios and before live performances, by singing his favourite Gospel songs. But it was not until 1960, with the release of the LP 'His Hand In Mine', that the wider world understood the full extent of their Rock and Roll idol’s fondness for inspirational music. Enjoy this superb 2CD set including 'Santa Claus Is Back In Town', 'If We Never Meet Again', 'Blue Christmas' and many more…
