ISBN: 4868021184Am 31.01.2025 erscheint das Atsushi Nakamura in japanischer Sprache geschriebene und 220 Seiten starke Buch "Elvis Presley - Stories Behind The Songs: 1969 - 71" und dieses wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:

"Die beliebte Blogserie „The Untold Stories Behind Elvis' Greatest Hits” von „Sound & Art” wurde nun in einem Buch zusammengefasst. Diese Ausgabe enthält 64 Songs aus den Jahren 1969 bis 1971, die gegenüber den ursprünglichen Blogbeiträgen erheblich erweitert und überarbeitet wurden.

Die Recherche zu den Hintergründen, wie die Songwriter diese Stücke komponiert haben, offenbart die einzigartige Geschichte hinter jedem Titel. Unter Rückgriff auf verschiedene Quellen habe ich mich bemüht, so klar wie möglich über die Umstände zu schreiben, unter denen sie geschrieben wurden, sowie über die Persönlichkeiten der Original- und Cover-Künstler.

Mein Ziel war es, ein Buch zu schaffen, das Ihnen ermöglicht, Elvis zehnmal tiefer zu schätzen. Ich hoffe, Sie werden Freude daran haben, tiefer in die Welt von Elvis einzutauchen, indem Sie die Originalaufnahmen und Coverversionen auf der speziellen Videoseite vergleichen (mit dem Kauf des Buches erhalten Sie ein Passwort für die Videoseite).

ISBN: 9780316399449Von Peter Guralnick ("Last Train To Memphis" & "Careless Love") erscheint bei "Little, Brown & Company" am 05.08.2025 das 752 Seiten starke Buch "The Colonel And The King" und dieses wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:

"From the award-winning biographer of Elvis Presley, The Colonel and the King is a groundbreaking dual portrait of the relationship between the iconic artist and his legendary manager, Colonel Tom Parker, drawing on a wealth of Parker's never-before-seen correspondence to reveal that this oft-reviled figure was in fact a confidant, friend, and architect of his client's success.

In early 1955, Colonel Tom Parker - the manager of the number-one country musician of the day - heard that an unknown teenager from Memphis had just drawn a crowd of more than 800 people to a Texas schoolhouse, and headed south to investigate. Within days, Parker was sending out telegrams and letters to promoters and booking agents: “We have a new boy that is absolutely going to be one of the biggest things in the business in a very short time. His name is ELVIS PRESLEY.” Later that year, after signing with RCA, the young man sent a telegram of his own: “Dear Colonel, Words can never tell you how my folks and I appreciate what you did for me.... I love you like a father.”

The close personal bond between Elvis and the Colonel proved impossible for outside observers to understand—not during their lifetimes, and not in the decades since. It was a long-standing, deeply committed relationship, founded on mutual admiration and support. As the Colonel wrote to Elvis in July 1973, several years before the star’s tragic death: “Without a doubt you are by far the greatest artist I have ever known, and can be even greater if you just believe in yourself half as much as I believe in you.” From the outset, the Colonel defended Elvis fiercely and indefatigably against RCA executives, Elvis’ own booking agents, and movie moguls. But in their final years together, the story grew darker, and the relationship strained, as the Colonel found himself unable to protect Elvis from himself—or to control growing problems of his own.

Featuring troves of never-before-seen correspondence from the Colonel’s own archives, revelatory both for their insights and -particularly with respect to Elvis - their emotional depth, The Colonel and the King provides a unique perspective on not one but two American originals. A tale of the birth of the modern-day superstar (an invention almost entirely of Parker’s making) by the most acclaimed music writer of his generation, it presents these two misunderstood icons as they’ve never been seen before: with all of their brilliance, humor, and flaws on full display."
