Southern Gospel is an underappreciated genre
100% in agreement

The Blackwood Brothers, The Statesmen, The Stamps, The Speers, The Happy Goodmans, The Cathedrals, etc. are all top-notch.
Bill Gaither has done a great job of “reviving” an appreciation for this music. This is the gospel music I was raised on. My dad sang in a quartet and instilled the love of the harmony in me.

no Rev. Al Green, or the 5 Blind Boys from Alabama?
I didn’t take time to list everyone. I posted some of my favorites. Everyone can list more…

You mentioned Elvis Presley. He was influenced greatly by Gospel music.
I love to listen to the recordings of Elvis singing gospel. Most already know this, but Elvis only won three Grammys and each for gospel music.
He won two Grammys for two of his gospel albums, How Great Thou Art in 1967 and He Touched Me in 1972. He also won a Grammy for a live performance in 1974 for How Great Thou Art.
I cherish my copy of the first Grammy Winner!
Elvis as well as Johnny Cash were adamant about recording gospel albums even when the record companies fought it.
