This link to Youtube only has the end of the program. However I saw the entire program on PBS and then also on Bing. It is amazing the love Elvis had for gospel music, and in turn the Lord in general. This movie documents how he was influenced by this music growing up in Nashville, both gospel and Black gospel were part of his growing up years.
It goes on to talk about how he would insist on making gospel recordings, sang a gospel song on the Ed Sullivan Show, and was a true devotee. Quite often he would do two shows. However then he would retire to his room where the musicians in his group, and himself, would entertain until dawn, singing mostly gospel songs.
