Never heard or read this anywhere-who would he have signed a contract with? He has a contract with RCA and he could record what he wanted-was the contract supposedly with Rambo herself?

Dont know !

[Tony Trout]

If I remember correctly, this was found to be a rumor. Elvis was signed with RCA at the time of his death so...there's no way that he would've been able to do something like this.

Thank you Tony for clearing that up.

Well, I dunno if my answer 'clears it up'...I read somewhere that it's supposedly a rumor but I can't remember where I read it...I've never seen any factual information to back up the claim.

I remember reading this story on the FECC forum right after Dottie Rambo died

Getlo,

Maybe I wouldn't consider Elvis's version of "If That Isn't Love" a classic but...in the Gospel music world, it is considered a classic/legendary song.

To my knowledge, there have been no facts or evidence presented to back up this claim of Elvis signing with another record label to record these supposed songs..
