How Great Thou Art (Elvis Presley Album)
''How Great Thou Art'' is the ninth studio album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released by RCA Victor in February 1967.

The tracks were recorded in May 1966, and produced by Felton Jarvis with the accompaniment of the Imperials and the Jordanaires. Following it ...
