''How Great Thou Art'' is a gospel album with slow numbers on one side, and fast-paced numbers on the flipside. The album earned Presley a Grammy Award for Best Sacred Performance, while it became a ''Billboard'' top 20 pop hit and it appeared on the Top Country Albums chart on the top 10. After the initial success of his films and their respective soundtracks, Presley's movie career began to decline by the mid-1960s.

The tracks were recorded in May 1966, and produced by Felton Jarvis with the accompaniment of the Imperials and the Jordanaires. Following i ...
