Songs of All Faiths
Nick Perito is quoted as saying that Perry wants to be remembered for the "way he sounds". Perry's performances are done with such incredible sincerity that it's difficult to tell whether he is singing a popular song or a hymn. His association with songs of inspiration is second only, if not equal, to his connection with Christmas music. Some hymns such "Ave Maria" and "Bless this House" are commonly performed within a religious context, while "I Believe" and "Onward Christian Soldiers" are generally considered popular songs. This index is expanded to include 45 songs broadly interpreted to fit into the category of inspirational songs.

Popular Songs of Inspiration:
All of these songs were recorded in Living Stereo with exception of only three recorded prior to 1958. Twelve of the tracks are from Perry's 1958 album "When You Come To The End of The Day" which are among his first full stereophonic recordings. A number of the songs are from popular albums released by Perry throughout the years recorded in New York and Nashville. It was common for Perry to include at least one song of inspiration on his recordings as he did at the end of his television specials.
