This is the true story of the Godfather of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley himself, as told by the insiders who toured and recorded with the King!

Explode the myths though a combination of sensational performance footage from on stage and behind the camera on the Milton Berle and the Ed Sullivan Show. Intimate interviews with his backing groups the Jordanaires and The Stamps Quartet, tell the story behind the music. The tales from the tours come from confidantes to the King; Joe Esposito, the Road Manager and Sam Thompson, Bodyguard, with Joe Guercio, Elvis' Conductor/Musical Director and even Loanne Parker; Colonel Toms secretary and eventual wife. All augment a tender portrait of this flawed diamond, almost 30 years on from his tragic death.

The deluxe 72-page book features a biography of Elvis, with a track by track analysis of every studio album The King recorded, and is illustrated with many colour photographs from the early days to the Vegas era.
