I've seen this posted around quite a few Catholic sites with people  saying that it is 'amazing' or 'interesting'.  Put me in the camp  that doesn't see what is so amazing or interesting. I mean Barbara  Streisand sang the Ave Maria on a Christmas album (of all things) in  the 60s.
     
    You don't have to believe it in order to sing it.  
     
  Elvis was, near as I can tell, raised in a typical southern evanglical  family. But by his adult years was pretty messued up (religiously  speaking) creating "a personalised religion out of what he'd read of  Hinduism, Judaism, numerology, theosophy, mind control, positive  thinking and Christianity" (Hungry for Heaven, p. 143).
     
    So the fact that he sang this song is hardly amazing.  
     
    Personally, I'm not an Elvis fan.  I think he is highly overrated (particularly the music from the "fat Elvis" years).

"Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up,Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil: Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth: Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."

1 Corinthians, 4-7
