Granddaddys story on teaching Elvis How Great Thou Art Well I was by the piano and I quietly said to him You know Elvis you really ought to record ‘How Great Thou Art’ as it would become your song. He said I don’t know it. So I went out to the car to get my book and The Jordanaires sang it to him in the studio. Elvis then sat at the piano and played with the chords and rehearsed things in his mind for about 3 ½ hours after which he stood up and said Let’s record it. We went up to the microphones and after only 8 bars to set the recording balance he just did it from memory. It was unbelievable. Another song I got him to record was Where No One Stands Alone.
