(1960)"His Hand in Mine" was Elvis Presley's first RCA Victor 12" long-play
gospel album, recorded and originally released in 1960; a followup to his 1957 EPPeace in the Valley .It is well known that Elvis Presley was a devout Christian [ [http://www.elvisgospel.com/ Welcome to Elvis Gospel ] ] and as such was especially fond of
Gospel music, and his gospel recordings remain the only Elvis albums ever to receive Grammy award (although "His Hand in Mine" did not receive any such award).Track listing
