The song was written by Billie Campbell (Glens wife at the time) and Mann Curtis Nov. 25th 1969, and recorded by Glen Campbell in 1970 - one verse and refrain, sung twice. Later Al Martino recorded it also, and Boy Mondragon also recorded it aroundt 1970/71... Then Carroll Roberson wanted to record the song in 2005. But he though it was too short, and wanted to us it in his ministeries, so he was allowed to add one extra verse to the song, the second one. Then he recorded this new version, and after some time, years, it began showing up in videos with pictures of Elvis, claiming it was Elvis singing... With a verse written 28 years after Elvis died... And people believed it... All versions with 2 verses is after 2005, and of course not Elvis!

I have been trying to tell this to people that this is fraud, illegal and infringes on copyrights

Carroll Robertson wrote the gospel song "One Pair of Hands". It was never recorded by Elvis and no evidence of him ever singing it!

No, Carroll Roberson did NOT write One Pair Of Hands. Written by Billie Campbell and Mann Curtis in 1969, with one verse and refrain, sung twice when Glen Campbell recorded it in 1970. Carroll added a new verse in 2005 before recording it!

All those who have seen Elvis sing the song in a video on YouTube or elsewhere, refering to Carroll Roberson - put the bottle away, throw the pill box and sober up. Elvis never sang or recorded this song! Carroll was unknown then.

Carroll Roberson, the writer and singer of this gospel song, is not an Elvis impersonator. That is his natural voice, and any true Elvis fan, or even an occasional fan, would be able to tell the difference straight away

Carroll did not write the song. The song was written in 1969 by Billie Campbell and Mann Curtis. Recorded by Glen Campbell in 1970. Carroll recorded the song in 2005, but added one verse to the song. So all versions with 2 verses is 2005 or after...

The song was written Barbarita (Billie)Campbell and Manny Kurtz and published in 1970 by Greenbar Music Corp and Seventh Son Music Inc ( the latter own the rights, some people claim it was a lost recording by Elvis and some say it was recorded by him in February 1969 yet it does not appear in his Gospel discography.

The version often mistaken for Elvis Presley was actually recorded by Evangelist and Singer/Songwriter Carroll Roberson in 2014.

Listening to his other songs Roberson's voice is similar to Elvis but 'One Pair of Hands' seems to be the closest voice match.

The song was recorded by Carroll Roberson in 2005, and he wrote the second verse which he added to the song from 1969 (Nov. 25th). Elvis of course never sang or recorded this song. Specially that with 2 verses, done 28 years after he died...

The Elvis imitator who sang “ One pair of hands” is nowhere near the quality singer Elvis was. Elvis never even heard this song.

There is not Elvis imitator who sang OPOH... It is Carroll Roberson, with his own voice and so on! He even wrote the second verse and added it to the song from 1969, written by Campbell/Curtis, recorded by Glen Campbell 1970.

No, there is no video of Elvis singing this song on YouTube, since he never sang or recorded it! And therefor he gives no credit to Carroll...

The song is written Nov. 25th 1969, so Elvis could have heard it by Glen Campbells record in 1970. But nobody knows that... And Carroll Roberson added his verse in 2005, before recording it the same year - NOT 2014...

The song was first recorded by Glen Campbell - the great singer, in 1970. And Carroll added one verse to the song before his recording of it in 2005. And the last name is: Roberson!
