Peace in the Valley is an EP by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released in April 1957 on RCA Victor Records in mono with catalogue number EPA 4054.
By the 1950s, Presley's hometown of Memphis, Tennessee had become a center for gospel music in the United States.
[2] Presley grew up listening to this music, and maintained an abiding love for gospel singing his entire life.
Presley would go on to make many more recordings of spiritual music, including the issue of the gospel albums His Hand In Mine, How Great Thou Art, and He Touched Me, the latter two earning him Grammy Awards.
