He Touched Me
An excellent documentary giving insight into Elvis' spiritual life. This is in my opinion, the BEST documentary set I have EVER seen on Elvis. It is sensitively presented in a first-class production of his gospel, sacred and other inspirational-type music, interspersed with comments by members of his previous gospel back-up groups, such as the Jordanaires, Imperials and Stamps Quartet, along with some others who knew and worked with him. Despite the fact that nearly 23 years has lapsed (as of this writing-1/00) since Elvis Presley's passing, there is a surprising depth and emotion present in the voices and expressions of these friends and co-workers as they speak about Elvis and his relationship with Divinity. It is obvious that Elvis' adoration of God profoundly effected their own inner seeking of the Holy within. This two-part documentary does not explore Elvis' beliefs in the sacred esoteric mysteries of the Hebrew, Buddhic and Yogic traditions. It is mentioned only briefly, and explained as a scholastic curiosity on his part. If one looks with any depth upon Elvis' esoteric studies, it would become obvious that this pursuit for him was far beyond an intellectual excursion. However, the "He Touched Me" documentary was, after all, on Elvis' CHRISTIAN and GOSPEL roots and not on the full gamut of his eclectic spirituality, which was vast, rich and purposeful, pulling together all the strands of the sacred into one pulsing presence in his life. In presenting Elvis' ROOT spirituality, "He Touched Me" is a brilliant beginning in the revelation of Elvis as a spiritual entity and indeed, a "holy" man.
