In My Father's House (song)

In My Father's House is a gospel song by The Blackwood Brothers, originally recorded in 1954. It was only one of two songs, the other being I Have But One Goal, which the group recorded between 1953 and 1956. Elvis Presley recorded the song at RCA Studios on 30 October 1960 and appears on his His Hand in Mine CD 1. Jimmy Blackwood was lead singer of the Blackwoods but it was Jake Hess, lead for The Statemen, who was a major influence on Elvis. The version recorded by Elvis is slow, in the key of B Major and progresses from B to E major, to C# 7 to F#7.
