Denson has made some pretty wild claims in the past about Elvis so I would not recommend this book:
The litany of amazing claims is staggering and hard to comprehend, as are Denson's gems of wisdom and observations, all of which continue to flow like an unstoppable, raging torrent careering down a stream.

Among his many statements:

•Elvis was a babyfied male..."he was a skin and bones baby and one time, while in front of the old St. Joseph's Hospital on the corner of Jackson and Lauderdale, a gang of kids came by; a gang in front and a gang across the street and they started yelling at him, "Hey, baby! Mama's baby! Sissy, baby!"
•Vernon was a gutter and porch-wino
•'Elvis was the Forrest Gump of the Lauderdale Courts and if Priscilla or any woman saw those green teeth he had, they wouldn't want to kiss his mouth'
•Elvis did not graduate from Humes High (the Colonel bought him his diploma years later)
•Jimmy & Jesse Lee Denson were Elvis' "...mentors, his masters, we were the power in his life"
•Graceland should have been called Drugland
•(Elvis' version of) Miracle of the Rosary went to the Vatican where Vatican Radio played it as their opening and closing song for a long time

No problem, just another fairy tale to make $$$$.

The truth of these lost childhood years is based on interviews with the book’s narrator, James Samuel Denson, who was selected by Gladys Presley to help raise her son Elvis... :doh: This guy is kidding, right?
