...On stage introduction by Elvis Presley
Ed Enoch is a legendary vocalist in the music industry. His professional capabilities and dynamic, powerful voice, have earned him much respect. He is a successful businessman - entertainer - and a leading - legendary Gospel music artist.
Ed creates an imposing presence. His strong lead voice is powerful, inspiring and clearly recognizable.

Ed Enoch's distinctive lead voice.
Ed grew up in a small town East of Nashville, Tennessee where he has never forgotten his roots.

was beyond compare".
