"Up Over My Head" is a Gospel song, originally recorded in the 1940s by Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Marie Knight as a duo. ==Style== The song is formed in the traditional call and response format, with Tharpe singing a short line followed by Knight's "response" of the same line. There are seven lines (save responses) in each verse—the first six in call and response, and the seventh sung in unison. It was recorded as a duet by Frankie Laine and Johnnie Ray on October 17, 1956. The song formed part of a double A-side release in the UK in October 1957. The single combined "Good Evening Friends" with the more fuller titled "Up Over My Head, I Hear Music in the Air" (Philips PB 708), and peaked at number 25 in the UK Singles Chart. It was released as a duet by Long John Baldry and Rod Stewart (as Long John Baldry and the Hoochie Coochie Men) in June 1964. It was as the B-side to United Artists UP 1056). Al Hirt released a version of the song in 1964 on his album, ''Sugar Lips''. The song went to #12 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #84 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔(Al Hirt's "Up Over My Head (I Hear Music in the Air)" Chart Positions ) Retrieved March 24, 2013.〕 Hirt released a live version on his 1965 album, ''Live at Carnegie Hall''.〔(Al Hirt, ''Live at Carnegie Hall'' ) Retrieved April 11, 2013.〕 It was produced by Chet Atkins.〔("Up Over My Head" single release ) Retrieved July 12, 2014〕 This song was also performed by Elvis Presley in the 1968 TV special, ''Elvis''.
