Elvis Presley - Crying in the chapel
Crying in the Chapel was a song written by Artie Glenn for his son Darrell to sing. Darrell recorded it, while still in high school, in 1953 along with Artie's band the Rhythm Riders. In 1960, Elvis Presley recorded a version of the song during the sessions for his RCA Records gospel album, His Hand in Mine. It was not included in that album, but rather was held back by RCA and finally released as an "Easter Special" single (447-0643) in April 1965, and hit #3 on the Billboard singles chart and topped the Billboard Easy Listening chart for 6 weeks, the greatest chart success for Presley over a six-year span. It was later included as a bonus track on Presley's 1967 gospel album, How Great Thou Art. The single was eventually certified "Platinum" by the RIAA for sales in excess of 1 million units in the US.
