So, where did this iconic song come from, anyway? How Great Thou Art was actually written by a Swedish pastor named Carl Boberg back in 1885, and it's been a beloved hymn ever since. It's crazy to think that a song written over a century ago can still be so relevant and powerful today, right?
When Elvis recorded How Great Thou Art in 1966, it was a bit of a departure from his usual rock 'n' roll sound. But, as we all know, the King was a master of blending genres and making them his own. It's like he took this traditional hymn and turned it into a soulful, bluesy masterpiece that still gives us goosebumps to this day.
