Elvis Presley, who wrote more than 50 gospel songs and recorded many classic hymns in his career, will be one of eight musicians inducted into the Gospel Music Association's Gospel Music Hall of Fame on November 27 in Nashville, Tennessee. Presley's classic renderings included "How Great Thou Art," "He Touched Me," "Without Him" and "Peace in the Valley," which he performed on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Presley, whose three Grammy awards were for gospel recordings, featured several gospel groups--including the Jordanaires, the Imperials, the Speers and the Stamps--as his backup singers.
