For example, their song, "He Touched Me" was covered by Elvis Presley, after which he even named his album He Touched Me. By the 1980s, Bill Gaither, along with wife Gloria Gaither, were both very successful songwriters. It was the successor-group of the Bill Gaither Trio. The Gaither Vocal Band is named after gospel legend and leader Bill Gaither. The Gaither Vocal Band has been honored with two Grammys and 17 Dove Awards. The band has also released 10 DVDs, which feature many other Christian artists as well. The band has released 29 albums (not including compilations), at least 19 of which have charted.
