In der Hörbuch-Reihe "The Legend" bei "One World Media" erscheint am 02.09.2024 eine Episode über Elvis und diese wird von "Blackstone Publishing" wie folgt angekündigt:
"From the heart of Memphis, the city where legends are born, emerged the greatest of them all - adored by millions, devoted to his music, and unwavering in his love for his mother. This icon, both mysterious and unmistakable, rose to reign as the unstoppable King of Rock ‘n' Roll - Elvis Presley.
"In his early days, Elvis was seen as a quiet high school outcast. But when the spotlight finally found him, he unleashed a voice that awakened the world and set its pulse to the rhythm of Rock ‘n' Roll. Hear from Dixie Locke Emmons, Elvis' high school sweetheart, as she reveals unforgettable moments from his life before fame. Legendary figures like Dick Clark, Kenny Rogers, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, and Elvis' own drummer D.J. Fontana recount his television years, his controversial dance moves, and the raw, electrifying sound that defined an era.
Lifelong friends Joe Esposito and Charlie Hodge, along with icons like Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers and Glen Campbell, paint a vivid picture of the King's world - from his love for girls and Cadillacs to the sanctuary of Graceland. Discover how gospel music, his service in the U.S. Army, his marriage to the beautiful Priscilla Beaulieu, and his triumphant return to Las Vegas shaped Elvis into the legend he became. Dive deep into the story of the one and only Elvis Presley."

Diskutiert diesen Artikel im Forum (0 Antworten).Am 28.03.2009 erscheint das Hörbuch von Jerry Schilling und Chuck Crisafulli "Me And A Guy Named Elvis" bei Playaway. Gelesen wird es von William Dufris und ist komplett in englisch.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"In 1954, at age 12, Schilling first met fellow Memphis homeboy Presley, a 19-year-old truck driver "a year out of high school and less than a week into a recording career that carried no guarantee of turning into steady work." He provides a fascinating view of Memphis in the late '50s, but most of his memoir is from after 1964, when he officially joined the retinue of friends-the "Memphis Mafia"-that served as Elvis's surrogate family.
While this thoroughly enjoyable book deftly describes his many adventures with Elvis and other notables, including the Beatles, Ann-Margret, the Beach Boys and Billy Joel, the heart of it is his many observations of Elvis's inner exploration. Unlike the rest of Elvis's posse, Schilling was liberal in his musical and racial views, and he shared Elvis's spiritual hunger "for a sense of meaning and purpose."
Schilling provides the most detailed account yet of the sometimes comical LSD trip he took with Presley, and he poignantly observes the "disappointment and frustration" Elvis felt about his Hollywood movies. Overall, Schilling's heartfelt narrative makes this more than just another piece of Elvis product. (Aug.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information."
