Elvis is Dead But I Don't Feel That Bad Myself

Today is the 30th anniversary of the death of the King. In honor of the event I downloaded his Ultimate Gospel album from the iTunes store. I learned today that Elvis won 3 Grammys during his life, all for gospel music. In 1967, Elvis won the Grammy for best sacred performance for the album "How Great Thou Art." His second Grammy, for best inspirational performance, came in 1972 for his gospel album "He Touched Me," and he won a third Grammy in 1974 for best inspirational performance (nonclassical) for "How Great Thou Art."

Amen.
