"“Elvis sai andando das páginas. Sentimos ele respirando. Este livro supera todos os outros.

”Bob DylanA BIOGRAFIA DEFINITIVA DE UM DOS MAIORES NOMES DA HISTÓRIA DO ROCK DE TODOS OS TEMPOS A história que mostra o homem por trás do mito. O mundo em que Elvis Presley cresceu, o mundo que o moldou e o mundo que ele, quase sem perceber, moldou para si próprio.Último trem para Memphis conta de forma vívida a juventude de Elvis.

A infância, os primeiros sucessos, a carreira no cinema, a relação particularmente íntima com os pais e também com namoradas, colegas, mentores e fãs. Tudo isso narrado com toda a graça e a singeleza da vida cotidiana, numa época de sonhos e de uma indústria musical que ainda não tinha se definido, e embasado por centenas de entrevistas e anos de pesquisa.

“É a biografia definitiva... um épico americano que pertence a todas as estantes.” Kirkus Reviews “Fiquei simplesmente fascinado por ele. Uma manhã fiquei vendo o ritual de Elvis para pentear os cabelos. Usava três óleos de cabelo diferentes, cera modeladora para o topete... como se fosse um corte militar, um tipo de óleo capilar para a frente, outro para trás. Perguntei por que ele usava aquela cera e ele respondeu que, assim, durante o show o cabelo dele cairia de uma certa maneira. Ele achava isso legal. Também me lembro que, quando ele usava um par de meias, em vez de lavá-lo, ele o enrolava e jogava na mala, e se você abrisse a mala, quase caía para trás. Estava cheia de coisas sujas, e muitas vezes "

"Et si Elvis n'était pas vraiment l'Amérique? Et si, contrairement à ce que nous aimons croire en France, il ne représentait pas la profusion et la liberté typiques de la culture populaire des États-Unis, mais plutôt une exception, une névrose, une déviance?

Revenons sur l'histoire de ce pentecôtiste du Sud, modelé et obsédé par une religion du paroxysme et de la contention, du rigorisme et du laisser-aller… Un Sudiste dont la « bonne » Amérique regarde de haut l'accent et l'identité culturelle, un prolo aux manières... "

Ankündigung des Verlages / Wilson:
"Elvis was known as the “King of Rock and Roll”, but he was also a Gospel Singer. He received three Grammy awards for his recordings, all of which were for his gospel songs.

Elvis, “The King”, many times said publicly that there is only one King, and that is Jesus Christ. He not only acknowledged the Lord but also worshipped Him and prayed to Him, often.

This book looks at Elvis’ life, particularly his Christian faith and the inspiration that he has been, and still is, to so many people. There is no doubt that Elvis is an enigma, but hopefully this book clarifies a side of Elvis that is often neglected. I believe it is a ‘good read’ which will be a revelation to many and, I hope, a blessing to all."

Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Billy Stanley, Elvis Presley's stepbrother, shares the untold story of the iconic singer's Christian faith--its deep influence on his music, films, relationships, commitment to his family and fans, and his love for the Gospel.

When seven-year-old Billy Stanley and his two younger brothers moved to Graceland in 1960, Elvis eagerly welcomed them, embracing his new roles as big brother, spiritual mentor, protector, and playmate. On their first night together, Elvis introduced his brothers to bedtime prayers as he thanked God for his new siblings. Soon after, he began to read the Bible with them, and he continued both practices for the next seventeen years.

During Billy and his brothers' teenage years, Elvis shared his experiences of filming movies (including stories about the leading ladies who acted beside him), offered dating advice, and even doled out gentle discipline after two of the brothers once used a blue light to pull over cars in hopes of picking up women. Billy was particularly drawn to the times he bonded with his big brother through car racing, the wind on their faces as they sped through God's creation in Elvis' Ferrari, Pantera, or pink Cadillac.

Billy joined Elvis on tour for several years, helping as part of his road crew, bringing Elvis's Bible along, and witnessing his growing number of adoring fans. Elvis loved his fans in return, which is why he was drawn to Gospel music--it allowed him to share God's abundant love.

In The Faith of Elvis, Billy gives his first-hand accounts of Elvis's life and abiding belief in Jesus and heaven, which has been kept from public view until now. Though the King of Rock and Roll struggled with addiction and with his notorious playboy image, Billy reveals that the true Elvis was deeply committed to ensuring his family and his fans knew the true King, Jesus Christ"
