An Elvis Special

Ahead of the annual Elvis Festival in Porthcawl, Canon Edwin Counsell explores the Christian faith that shaped the life and music of Elvis Presley. Through Gospel recordings, scripture readings, prayer and reflection, Edwin traces the spiritual roots of the man known as "The King", from his upbringing in Mississippi to his enduring legacy as one of the world's most influential performers. Featuring favourite Elvis Gospel songs, including How Great Thou Art and Amazing Grace, this special edition of Celebration considers how faith, music and grace remained at the heart of Elvis's remarkable story.
