Elvis's gospel influence

Having completed his trilogy of tomes surrounding Elvis Presley's years with HMV and RCA Elvis: The Best of British - Halifax author Trevor Simpson is now writing and compiling two new books revealing the King of Rock n Roll's love affair with gospel music.

The first of the two, Elvis: His Songs of Praise is now complete and he will launch it locally at a special evening event at Halifax Playhouse (September 18).
