I really loved the way the choir sings with Elvis. It was such a blessing to me. In fact, even Elvis sounded better with the choir backing him! I loved the way the choir swayed to the music. The audience was fantastic too.<\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IKAj2BpYAz8\" target=\"_blank\">Part 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I confess, I skipped through most of the talking parts, but I loved the singing.<\/p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hxRHdW6lFOU\" target=\"_blank\">Part 3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed that last song, and it looked like the people were almost dancing out of the church. I got such a charge out of that. In fact I felt quite sad that the church service was over.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4iYAizOlQrQ\" target=\"_blank\">Jay Zanier<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is Jay Zanier singing at a church in Mississauga.

They are top notch singers and performers. They are better than I have ever been. The lead singers are: Jay Zanier, Dwight Icenhower, Mark Anthony, James Gibb and Di Leichtweis. The band and back up singers are very good too. Excellent show! Some of those slow gospel songs were sung with so much feeling.<\/p>\n<p>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PrXKTQRV76U\" target=\"_blank\">Gospel Elvis &#8211; Leland Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We heard Leland about 20 years ago in a church, and really loved his performance. In fact we bought a few of his tapes, and I have had his poster on my bedroom wall all this time. I think he lives near Calgary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/countrygospelandbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00014.crop_.rotate1.fixed2_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1187\" src=\"http:\/\/countrygospelandbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00014.crop_.rotate1.fixed2_.jpg\" alt=\"dsc00014-crop-rotate1-fixed2\" width=\"562\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrygospelandbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00014.crop_.rotate1.fixed2_.jpg 562w, https:\/\/countrygospelandbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00014.crop_.rotate1.fixed2_-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>7. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gospelelvis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elvis gospel tribute &#8211;\u00a0 James Anderson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This gentleman sings real good, and has recordings available for purchase.
