'Gospel Music' is the category where Elvis Presley only won Grammy Awards. Elvis received 14 Grammy nominations from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS). His 3 wins were for Gospel recordings - the album "How Great Thou Art" (1967), the album "He Touched Me" (1972), and his live Memphis concert recording of the song "How Great Thou Art" (1974).

'Gospel Music' was and is popular because it reminds Christians of a complicated and very entangled secular world. It works to help to remind them that there is a higher power at work. The music also helps to keep Christians self-aware and more connected to their spirituality.

Grammy Awards only began in 1958. Elvis had already had two great professional years before then. Grammy officials, at the time, were not to fast or shrewd about how to acknowledge Rock and Roll (a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the USA, where Elvis produced most of his songs) as a force worth rewarding.
