Has the full story of Elvis Presley’s military service ever been told?

Elvis Presley served in the U.S. Army for two years and while most biographical accounts seem to quickly skim through the “army years,” author Trina Young argues that this period was perhaps the most significant and life-changing time in The King of Rock and Roll's life.

Captivating untold stories have been coming out over the years involving the highs and lows Presley experienced as a soldier away from the public eye. The truth is many aspects of Presley’s time in the army were never reported or never made it into the history books. Now, looking back with the benefit of hindsight and years of research, more stories and insights to Presley's life and times as a soldier are constantly emerging.

Finally, we are able to go behind the scenes in the life of the most famous U.S. army soldier of all time in ELVIS: The Army Years Uncovered. Come take a journey into the life of Private Presley, who rose to the rank of Sergeant, with the stories of many women, nightclubs, strippers, death rumors, secret concerts and fan encounters to name a few.

This biographical account by music journalist Trina Young who has been writing about Elvis for over a decade offers a behind-the-scenes look into the two years that Presley served in the military with stories ranging from the most raucous to the most warm-hearted.

"I'm so happy to finally share the results of my two years of in-depth research about Elvis Presley's army years. I scoured the globe for new info about the two years Elvis served in the army. Many stories have only come out in the last 15 years and will be new to the majority of fans." - Trina Young, author

ISBN: 9783836583268Für den 07.02.2022 ist das 336 Seiten starke Taschenbuch "Alfred Wertheimer, Elvis And The Birth Of Rock And Roll" erneut in der Ankündigung und scheint wieder ein anderes Cover zu bekommen.

"'Elvis who?', fragte Alfred Wertheimer, als er Anfang 1956 von einer PR-Agentin der Plattenfirma RCA Victor beauftragt wurde, einen aufstrebenden Sänger aus Memphis zu fotografieren. Wertheimer ahnte nicht, dass dies der Job seines Lebens werden würde: Der damals 21-jährige Elvis Presley war gerade dabei, in den Olymp der Popmusik aufzusteigen.

Wertheimer folgte Elvis wie ein Schatten und machte damals fast 3000 Aufnahmen, die das Porträt eines Künstlers auf dem Sprung zum Weltruhm ergeben. Unerreicht in ihrer Intimität und Bandbreite, verewigen diese Bilder einen jungen Mann, der dabei war, Geschichte zu schreiben.

"Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll" kombiniert die faszinierendsten Elvis-Fotos aus dem Jahr 1956 mit den legendären Aufnahmen, die Alfred Wertheimer zwei Jahre später machte, als der Star zum Militärdienst nach Deutschland aufbrach. Jedes Kapitel eröffnet mit einem eigens für dieses Buch entworfenen Plakat von Hatch Show Print, einer der ältesten Plakatdruckereien der USA, die in den 50er-Jahren viele Elvis-Poster produzierte."
