I loved the entire gospel medley segment in the '68 tv special being a gospel-music fan but I am pretty sure that this song was originally written (and recorded) by the gospel legend Sister Rosetta Tharpe and not W.Earl Brown.

beautiful excerpt and the medley as a whole is outstanding, I also like the Motherless child part, as sung by a highly talented lady, may favourite from the medley is Saved.

I dig this. Perfect song for Elvis. Wish there was more to it.

Record as a 'fill the gap' song for '68 tv special. And to this end it did a good job. Not a recording you'd request say on a radio request program, but better by far than the fill in songs on some soundtracks.

I love this song although it is short. A true gospel sound. Would have loved to hear a formal studio recording of this.
