==Content==
By the 1950s, Presley's hometown of Memphis, Tennessee had become a center for gospel music in the United States.〔Wolfe, Charles. ''Amazing Grace: His Greatest Sacred Performances''. RCA 66421-2, 1994, liner notes, p. 8〕 Presley grew up listening to this music, and maintained an abiding love for gospel singing his entire life. This EP initiated Presley's commercial presentation of this interest. Presley would go on to make many more recordings of spiritual music, including the issue of the gospel albums ''His Hand In Mine'', ''How Great Thou Art'', and ''He Touched Me''.
All four selections are gospel classics, including two by Thomas A. Dorsey 'the father of black gospel'. The four songs are all reverential in spirit, rather than celebratory, uptempo gospel songs.〔Jorgensen, Ernst. ''Elvis Presley A Life in Music: The Complete Recording Sessions''. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1998; p. 84.〕 Six months after the appearance of this EP, the four songs issued here would be added to eight recordings of Christmas songs for his first holiday album.
