"He" is a song about God, written in 1954. The song made the popular music charts the following year. The music was written by Jack Richards, with lyrics by Richard Mullan. The song was originally published by Avas Music Publishing, Inc.
The first recording to be released was by Al Hibbler, whose version reached number 4 on Billboard's chart of Best Sellers in Stores, number 7 on Billboard's Top 100, number 7 on Billboard's chart of Most Played by Jockeys, and number 8 on Billboard's chart of Most Played in Juke Boxes. Despite its popularity with listeners to Radio Luxembourg, the song never reached the British charts - mainly due to the ban imposed by the BBC on popular songs with what they termed pseudo-religious lyrics and both Hibbler's and the version by the McGuire Sisters lost out due to that decision.
The McGuire Sisters also released a version of the song in 1955, which reached number 10 on Billboard's chart of Most Played in Juke Boxes, number 12 on Billboard's Top 100, number 12 on Billboard's chart of Best Sellers in Stores, and number 16 on Billboard's chart of Most Played by Jockeys. The song was ranked number 33 on Billboard's ranking of 1955's Top Tunes based on the Honor Roll of Hits and number 34 on Billboard's ranking of 956's Top Tunes.
Other significant recordings are: Andy Williams released a version on his 1960 album, The Village of St. Bernadette. The Righteous Brothers released a version of the song in 1966, which spent eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 18. Diana Ross & The Supremes covered the song for In Loving Memory, a 1968 gospel compilation featuring Motown Records artists. Elvis Presley recorded the song in 1960 at his home in Bel Air, Hollywood.

Frederick Martin Lehman was born on August 7, 1868 in Mecklenburg, Schwerin, Germany. Lehman emigrated to America with his family at age four, settling in Iowa, where he lived most of childhood. He came to Christ at age 11, as he relates.
One glad morning about eleven o’clock while walking up the country lane, skirted by a wild crab-apple grove on the right and an osage fence, with an old white-elm gate in a gap at the left, suddenly Heaven let a cornucopia of glory descend on the eleven-year old lad. The wild crab-apple grove assumed a heavenly glow and the osage fence an unearthly lustre. That old white-elm gate with its sun-warped boards gleamed and glowed like silver bars to shut out the world and shut him in with the ’form of the fourth,’ just come into his heart. The weight of conviction was gone and the paeans of joy and praise fell from his lips.
Lehman studied for the ministry at Northwestern College in Naperville, Illinois, and pastored at Audubon, Iowa; New London, Indiana; and Kansas City, Missouri. The majority of his life was devoted to writing sacred songs; his first was written while a pastor in Kingsley, Iowa, in 1898. He wrote and published hundreds of songs, and compiled five song books. In 1911, he moved to Kansas City, where he helped found the Nazarene Publishing House. Lehman died on February 20, 1953 in Pasadena, California, and is buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

He authored more than 500 hymns and gospel songs, and one book, an autobiography, entitled ''You Asked |For It''. His two best-known hymns are: "He's A Wonderful Saviour To Me'', published in 1918 by the Rodeheaver Co., and "Beyond The Sunset'', published in 1936. Other hymns include "Sing And Smile and Pray'', "Resting In His Love'', "If You Could Know'', "Keep Looking Up'', "Men Of God, Awake, Arise'', and "I'll Still Live On''.

Thomas Andrew Dorsey was born on July 1, 1899 in Villa Rica, a small rural town near Atlanta, Georgia. He was an American musician and Dorsey was known as "the father of gospel music" and was at one time so closely associated with the field that songs written in the new style were sometimes known as "dorseys". Dorsey was the music director at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois, from 1932 until the late 1970s.
In 1919 he moved to Chicago. Most of his musical training was in the church, but he also studied and played jazz and blues. He later combined jazz and blues with religious texts, giving birth to gospel music. In 1931, along with Magnolia Lewis-Butts and Theodore Roosevelt Frye, he established the first gospel choir at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Chicago. He went on to lead the gospel choir at Pilgrim Baptist Church, which he led for 60 years. Dorsey was also instrumental in founding the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses (NCGCC) in 1933. The convention taught choirs all over the country how to sing gospel music. Thomas A. Dorsey died on January 23, 1993.

The Blackwood Brothers sang gospel for over 60 years, and from the 1950s to the 1970s, they were one of the most popular gospel groups in the United States. One of their biggest fans was a young Elvis Presley, who auditioned - and was turned down - for the group in 1953. The quartet was formed in 1934 by brothers Roy (born December 24, 1900, Fentress, Mississippi; passed away March 21, 1971), Doyle (born August 22, 1911, Ackerman, Mississippi), and James Blackwood (born August 4, 1919, Ackerman, Mississippi; passed away February 3, 2002, Memphis, Tennessee), along with Roy's 13-year-old son R.W. Blackwood (born October 23, 1921, Ackerman, Mississippi; passed away June 30, 1954, Clanton, Alabama). The Blackwoods sang at churches around their base of Ackerman, Mississippi, during the mid-1930s. By 1937, however, they began working a radio show in Kosciusko, Mississippi. The quartet moved to WJDX in Jackson later that year, singing pop and country in addition to gospel. After two years in Jackson, they were popular enough to move to KWKH in Shreveport, Louisiana, a regional superstation that broadcast over much of the South.
While working in Shreveport, the Blackwood Brothers were signed by V.O. Stamps, the largest Southern gospel publisher of the 1930s. The group worked for Stamps during the late 1930s and early 1940s, but broke up during World War II. When they re-formed in 1946 - without the Stamps affiliation - Doyle Blackwood had been replaced by Don Smith. The Blackwoods began their own record company, and became so popular that Doyle soon returned to start another group, the Blackwood Gospel Quartet.
By 1950, Roy had retired and was replaced by Bill Lyles. The Blackwoods then moved to Memphis and signed a contract with RCA Victor. They began recording in 1952, and the increased exposure led to national recognition and a spot on Arthur Godfrey's TV show in 1954. Less than a month later, however, R.W. Blackwood and Bill Lyles were killed in a plane crash. The Blackwoods immediately disbanded and vowed to never perform again. Fortunately, they returned several years later, gradually adding J.D. Sumner (as a replacement for Lyles) plus Roy's son Cecil Blackwood (born October 28, 1934, Ackerman, Mississippi; passed away November 13, 2000) and James' son Jimmy Blackwood (born July 31, 1943, San Diego).
The Blackwoods entered the LP era during the mid-1950s and eventually recorded many albums for RCA and Skylite throughout the 1950s and 1960s. They won the first of their eight Grammy Awards for Best Gospel Performance in 1966, and James Blackwood won seven Dove Awards for Male Vocalist of the Year during the 1970s. He was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1974 and was known as "Mr. Gospel Singer of America" for years thereafter.

The Los Engeles County Coroners Office was assisted in their investigation by experts from the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Team. It was estimated that Monroe had died between 8:30 and 10:30 p.m., and the toxicological analysis concluded that the cause of death was acute barbiturate poisoning, as she had 8 mg of chloral hydrate and 4.5 mg of pentobarbital (Nembutal) in her blood, and a further 13 mg% of pentobarbital in her liver. Empty bottles containing these medicines were found next to her bed. The possibility of Monroe having accidentally overdosed was ruled out as the dosages found in her body were several times over the lethal limit. Her doctors and psychiatrists stated that she had been prone to "severe fears and frequent depressions" with "abrupt and unpredictable" mood changes, and had overdosed several times in the past, possibly intentionally. Due to these facts and the lack of any indication of foul play, her death was classified a probable suicide.
The next track it's back to Ray Charles and gospel chord changes for this side. The record makes it clear that when recorded as tastefully as they were here strings and voices don't have sabotage good music.

''There's Another Place I Can't Go'' was Charlie Rich's only flirtation with music submitted by New York writers. Unless he was covering music by one of his heroes like Chuck Willis, Rich usually recorded his own material. Although this wasn't a weak composition by any reckoning, it didn't have 'hit record' written all over it. It seems to fall in the cracks between teen and adult music. Certainly the lyrics were within the life experience of many young adults, although Charlie's performance takes it to another realm. The finger snapping opening suggests Charlie is closer to his ''ring-a-ding-ding'' Sinatra bag than swaggering down teen-idol lane. If anything worked against the commercial pop success of this disc, it was probably the hip/jazz/bluesy feel Charlie managed to wrestle from the material. Indeed, in the hands of most pop singers, this would have been a strictly lightweight outing. In Charlie's hand, it is considerably more, although it didn't keep those cash registers ringing.

LONELY WEEKEND - THE SUN YEARS 1958 – 1962
''Gentle As A Lamb'', Margaret Ann plainly recalls writing this ''darling song'' with Charlie in hopes that could pitch it to Elvis. ''At the time he was barraged with people trying to sell him songs. I don't know if he ever heard it. I didn't even remember that Charlie had recorded such a finished version for Sun, but I do know they never released it''. The truth is, this kind of teen fluff was thankfully rare in Charlie's written or recorded legacy although, in search of the elusive dollar sign, he was not above it.

"Goodbye Mary Ann" was recorded several times by Charlie Rich and two other versions have been previously issued. This version is special for two reasons. First, it is recorded in stereo. Second, it is preceded by a fascinating exchange between Charlie and Sam Phillips, in which the label owner tries to get his reluctant artist to crank up the Presley sound a bit. That spend nearly a minute arguing over the "we..ll..ll" that begins the song. At one point, Charlie breaks off the debate and launches into the opening lines of "Whirlwind", his first single for the label. Later, he tells the incessant Mr. Phillips "Don't put me down like that or I can't hit it at all". Ultimately, Phillips gets his way and Charlie tears into one of his best unreleased Sun recordings.

As soundtrack album sales far outstripped his regular album sales (''Blue Hawaii'' outselling ''Pot Luck by Elvis'' by ten to one) Presley found himself firmly entrenched in songs designed for a light-entertainment formula of beautiful scenery and girls galore. With this discrepancy in sales, the formula of the soundtrack music became the focus.
Sixteen songs were recorded at the sessions in March, of which thirteen were used for the soundtrack album. Banished from the kingdom after running afoul of the Colonel, songs from favored writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller could only be those already written for someone else, in this case the title track being a hit for The Coasters in 1961 before being adapted for the Presley film. This song and two others, "Return To Sender'' and "Because Of Love," appear on the 1995 soundtrack compilation Command Performances; The Essential 60s Masters II''.
The tracks "Return to Sender" and "Where Do You Come From" were issued as the both sides of a single in October 1962, one month before the release of the soundtrack LP. "Return to Sender" became a substantial hit for Presley, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the b-side "Where Do You Come From" peaked at only number 99 independently of the hit side. The Presley fan-club label ''Follow That Dream'' released an expanded version of the album in 2007, including alternate takes and songs recorded but not used for the soundtrack. The outtake "Plantation Rock" saw a performance by actor Rob Schneider on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 1996. The songs performed by Stella Stevens in the film, "Never Let Me Go", "The Nearness Of You'' and "Baby, Baby, Baby" — were in fact mimed to the singing voice of Gilda Maiken and have yet to be commercially released.
