He Touched Me is the third of Presley's gospel studio albums and leans toward contemporary gospel, and he wrote none of its twelve songs. The material comes from gospel writers including Bill Gaither (the title track and "There Is No God but God"), Andrae Crouch ("I've Got Confidence"), and the standard "Amazing Grace," with Jerry Reed's "A Thing Called Love" among the selections. Produced by Felton Jarvis with engineer Al Pachucki, it won Presley his second Grammy, for Best Inspirational Performance.
"He Touched Me" is Elvis Presley's 1972 gospel album on RCA Victor, produced by Felton Jarvis and recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville. The track listing included the title song "He Touched Me," "Amazing Grace," "Lead Me, Guide Me," and "Reach Out to Jesus," leaning toward a contemporary Christian sound.
