My mom's the crazed fan in my family, I used to roll my eyes at her (OK, I still do.) But when I hear Elvis singing "Dixieland/Glory Glory Hallelujiah" I tear up. Yeah, I know, cuz I'm so religious & everything. Seriously, though, I do. It's the emotion in his voice.
Get outta my head, Paula. I love to hear Elvis sing gospel, and normally, I do not enjoy that type of music. I love his version of "Peace in the Valley."
