ISBN-10: 190673402XBei Fall River Press erschien im März 2009 das Buch "Elvis Presley: Icons of Time" von Alison Guantlett und wird mit folgenden Worten vorgestellt:

"When Elvis Aaron Presley was born in a two-roomed house in the small town of Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1935, no one would have predicted that he would become one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century.

His unique new sound and a performing style that drove women wild made him popular across the South and in 1956, with the help of Colonel Tom Parker and a recording contract with RCA, Elvis’s fame spread. Soon he was one of the most popular singers in the world, with a string of hit singles and albums as well as a series of successful Hollywood movies.

Millions of fans across the globe mourned his tragically early death in 1977. But his amazing musical legacy continues to appeal to fans of all ages, and his popularity is undiminished."

ISBN: 9780980202502Dieses 206 Seiten starke Buch wurde von Gene Myracle geschrieben und wird von Myracle Publishing mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:

"Elvis: Before He Was King offers a firsthand account of the life of a young Elvis Presley. The book begins in 1949 when the Presley family moved into the Lauderdale Courts, a Memphis Housing Authority complex in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis was fourteen years old at the time.

On his second day in the Courts, Elvis met Paul Dougher who lived in the same building. Paul and Elvis formed an immediate friendship that lasted until Elvis’ death.

In the book, Paul shares stories that reveal a unique portrait of Elvis during his teenage years. He includes details of many boyhood experiences that formed the basis of their lifelong friendship.

The book also touches on the isolation Elvis felt once he reached a level of success that would be unmatched by any other entertainer. It offers insight into the despair and loneliness surrounding Elvis toward the end of his life.

In the final few chapters, Paul offers his personal thoughts on the events and actions that contributed to the untimely death of his friend--a man with one of the greatest voices the world has ever heard.
