Editorial Review:
Long before Elvis was heralded as the king of rock ‘n’ roll, he was a faithful fan of gospel music. Although it was instrumental in shaping his spiritual life as well as his career, no documentary has truly chronicled this facet of his life…until now. He Touched Me: The Gospel Music Of Elvis Presley features more than 30 of Elvis’ gospel recordings and never-before-seen footage. This 3-hour collection, filled with personal stories by those who knew him well, goes behind the scene of Elvis’ career. Discover how Elvis was dramatically influenced by two of southern gospel music’s premiere quartets, the Statesmen and the Blackwood Brothers. Learn the controversy surrounding this performance of "Peace In The Valley" on the Ed Sullivan Show and hear the surprising story behind the recording of his signature hymn, "How Great Thou Art." You’ll see Elvis in a new light as you witness how deeply he was touched by gospel music.
He Touched Me, Vol. 1-2 Reviews:
elvis he touched me 
2009-03-05 - THIS DVD WAS SO INSPIRATIONAL, I READ SEVERAL REVIEWS BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS DVD.MOST OF THE REVIEWS I READ STATED THAT THE TALKING BETWEEN THE SONGS BOTHERED THEM.THERE WAS SO MUCH INFORMATION ON THIS DVD THAT I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT ELVIS.GREAT DVD.
The Spiritual Side of Elvis
2009-02-20 - Nicely done DVD--it includes testimonies from those that should know him best--the people that worked with him for years. This DVD really helps you see past the advertising hype, the stage glamour, and the youthful hysteria for a brief look into his heart.
Spirituality. 
2008-05-04 - Much has been published about Elvis and just when you think you have read, seen and heard it all, along comes "He touched me". It shows the spiritual side of Elvis, a side he maintained throughout his life, a spirituality that is demonstrated in this dvd. I thoroughly recommend "He touched me" to one and all.
Elvis Touched Me and Many Others
2008-01-14 - Gospel was a big part of Elvis' life and this DVD explores that side of him indepth. I've seen this wonderful DVD about 5 times and each time it brings tears to my eyes. I liked hearing the stories about him and I wish he was still around, but he lives on in all of our hearts.
He Touched Everyone!
2007-10-06 - No one sings gospel like Elvis. This DVD gives a history of the influence of gospel music on Elvis' life. God loves a joyful noise, but in Elvis' case, God enjoyed hearing gospel music at its best, rather than the noise of the untalented. This DVD is a must-have for any Elvis fan! *****5 stars!
