ISBN: 0446548154Dies ist der Titel der Autobiographie von Jerry Weintraub (Elvis´ Konzertveranstalter in den 70ern), welche am 01.04.2010 bei Twelve erschien.
"Das Buch erschien in dieser Woche im amerikanischen Buchhandel und erzählt vom gloriosen Aufstieg eines Jungen aus der Bronx.
Heute ist Weintraub 72 Jahre alt und vermisst nichts in seinem Leben. "Ich habe nie das Wort 'Nein' gehört, immer nur 'Ja'", wird er von der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters am 06.04.2010 zitiert. Ein Ja hörte er auch im Alter von 26 Jahren, als er Tom Parker davon überzeugte, dass er der richtige Promoter für Elvis Presleys Welttournee war.
Als Gründer des Unternehmens Concerts West produzierte er Tourneen von Bob Dylan, John Denver, Led Zeppelin oder den Beach Boys. Später gründete er die Filmproduktionsfirma Weintraub Entertainment Group und arbeitete mit allen möglichen Hollywoodstars zusammen. "Ich bin ein offenes Buch, was soll ich den sonnst machen? Ich spiele noch Golf, aber höchstens wie Mal die Woche", so Weintraub." (Zitat: ProSieben)

Ankόndigung des Verlages:
"Return Of The King tells the story of a tumultuous period in the life of Elvis Presley. By 1967, The King Of Rock’n’Roll was all but washed-up, thanks to a string of bland movie roles and lackluster records. But within a year he had roused himself, loosened the creative shackles imposed by his grasping manager, ‘Colonel’ Tom Parker, and reconnected with the rock audience through a riveting TV special.
There followed a glorious but all too brief artistic flowering, in which he made some of his most enduring records, including ‘Suspicious Minds’ and ‘In The Ghetto.’ This meticulously researched and elegantly written book, based on a string of new interviews with colleagues, friends, fans, and observers of The King, sheds new light on the events of Elvis’s great comeback."

ISBN: 1604734019Die University Press Of Mississippi veröffentlichte das Buch "Memphis Boys: The Story Of American Studios", welches von Roben Jones geschrieben wurde, am 01.02.2010.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Memphis Boys chronicles the story of the rhythm section at Chips Moman's American studios from 1964, when the group began working together, until 1972, when Moman shut down the studio and moved the entire operation to Atlanta. Using extensive interviews with Moman and the group, as well as additional comments from the songwriters, sound engineers, and office staff, author Roben Jones creates a collective biography combined with a business history and a critical analysis of important recordings. She reveals how the personalities of the core group meshed, how they regarded newcomers, and how their personal and musical philosophies blended with Moman's vision to create timeless music based on themes of suffering and sorrow.
Recording sessions with the Gentrys, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, the Box Tops, Joe Tex, Neil Diamond, B. J. Thomas, Dionne Warwick, and many others come alive in this book. Jones provides the stories behind memorable songs composed by group writers, such as The Letter, Dark End of the Street, Do Right Woman, Breakfast in Bed, and You Were Always on My Mind. Featuring photographs, personal profiles, and a suggested listening section, Memphis Boys details a significant phase of American music and the impact of one studio."
