re-released September 10, 2007 by Plexus.
Synopsis from publisher's website:
"Elvis
Presley is the biggest single entertainment
personality in the history of American popular
culture. Thirty years after his death in August
1976, he remains the undisputed King of
Rock'n'Roll.
His talent, charisma, and good humour endeared
him to millions. Known the world over by his
first name alone, he remains the foremost iconic
figure in popular music. Jerry Hopkins has
interviewed all those who were close to Elvis;
from high school teachers, classmates, old
girlfriends, movie directors, agents, recording
engineers and disc jockeys; to close friends,
bodyguards, sidemen, karate instructors, his
doctor, dentist and personal jeweller, to
present a comprehensive portrait of this iconic
super-celebrity.
"Elvis: The Biography" recounts the complete
story of Elvis' rise, fall and posthumous
legacy; from his poverty-stricken childhood in
Tupelo, Mississippi, through his musical
development and emergence as the first pop
superstar, to his ultimate ascension to the
throne of rock'n'roll. This work explores Elvis'
unique appeal, his massive influence on
contemporary popular culture and recounts many
anecdotes and events that combine to provide a
matchless impression of an artist who was - and
remains - a genuine legend."
