Elvis Presley once said. From the time I was two years old, gospel music was all I knew. It became a very big part of my life and was as natural to me as dancing. It was a way to escape my problems and to free myself in my own way. While it was an explosive mix of blues, bluegrass, country, swing, and pop styles that created Elvis's iconic, world-changing rock 'n' roll, it was his childhood hymns, spirituals, and songs from his childhood that sustained him and his musical vision throughout his life. But throughout his life, it was the hymns, spirituals, and church music he heard as a child that sustained him and his musical vision, as well as his deeply rooted gospel roots. He won two Grammy Awards during his lifetime, both for gospel music.Elvis won his first Grammy Award (Best Sacred Performance) for "The Greatest God" and his second Grammy Award (Best Inspirational Performance) for "The Greatest Love". He won his second Grammy (Best Inspirational Performance) for "The Greatest Love. This is my father's favorite genre," he said. There was no doubt about it," said Lisa Marie in the album liner notes. My father seemed most passionate and at peace when he was singing gospel music. Whether he was singing at home for himself and me or on stage in front of thousands of fans, he was always so full of life.
