| Abstract | This is the first major biography of Elvis Presley and became so popular it served as the basis for a 13-hour radio special, "The Elvis Presley Story". This book eschews music criticism and analysis of recordings in favor of biographical details, informed by interviews with friends from Elvis' early days in Memphis, musicians that worked with him, members of the Memphis Mafia, and movie co-stars. |
