8 Gospel Music Influences That Shaped Elvis Presley's Sound

Elvis Presley's musical journey was deeply rooted in gospel music, which he was exposed to from a young age in his Pentecostal church in Tupelo, Mississippi. He was inspired by gospel groups like The Blackwood Brothers, whom he would attend concerts and study their harmonies. The Blackwood Brothers' influence can be heard in Elvis's own music, particularly in his backing groups like the Jordanaires. Elvis was also influenced by Sister Rosetta Tharpe, known as the "godmother of rock and roll," who brought gospel music to secular venues and paved the way for Elvis's own approach to performance. Elvis's connection to gospel music was a lifelong passion that shaped his sound and style.
