Publisher announcent: "Elvis died on 16 August 1977. He was just 42 years of age and had been the first global superstar of the rock 'n' roll era: the King. An eager world followed his every appearance, Flocked to his movies and bought his records in the millions. But what was he like as a colleague, as a friend, as a brother, as a lover? Imagine Elvis's relatives, friends, musical colleagues and business associates gathering to remember him and swap stories about him. In this close- up and intimate oral biography, that's just what nearly one hundred and fifty of them do, many of them speaking for the first time." (Page number: 448; ISBN: 0753522829)

This book is a great one, well over 100 people gave interviews for this book and are quoted .......people who knew Elvis in Tupelo, Memphis, Vegas, Hollywood, family, friends, business people etc.......lots of stories and ancedotes I had never heard.
Work in Progress!
I thought this was good too. I've spoken to Rose & she told me she'd thought of republishing it.
So glad she did. There's another, smaller book too she'd like to republish. Along the same lines.
Last I knew, she couldn't find the co-writer on that . Hope she finds her as I liked it too.
I have the first book and enjoyed it very much. Thanks Franny
