"Peace in the Valley" was the first gospel tune to sell 1 million copies. It was written by Thomas Dorsey in 1939 for Mahalia Jackson. However, in 1951, Red Foley got his hand on the song and made it into a hit. The song has been covered many times, but the Elvis Presley/Jordanaires' version is the best in my opinion. Take a listen.
