Elvis Presley's third and final gospel album, He Touched Me taps a more modern vein than do his previous gospel efforts. Elvis Presley's earlier gospel recordings adhere to traditional piano, organ and vocal arrangements. The material on those albums is similarly drawn from older, familiar sources. For He Touched Me, Elvis fleshes out the backing tracks with drums and electric guitars.
The results are funky, soulful, occasionally raucous, and a true revelation for those willing to write off Elvis' later recordings. As he would more frequently in the later stages of his career, Elvis sings here in a bold dramatic baritone with a wide vibrato, a style that communicates well his heartfelt devotion to this material. He Touched Me was nominated for a 1972 Grammy in the Best Inspirational Performance category
