"Jerry Hopkins was the first serious journalist to take Elvis
seriously, writing the first biography. The Elvis bookshelf is
crowded now, but don't let that put you off. This thoroughly
revised and updated version of his two classic books deserves a
shelf of its own." - Jann Wenner, founder and editor of "Rolling
Stone"
"Jerry Hopkins long ago established the ground rules for serious
biographical consideration of Elvis Presley. With a rare
combination of seat-of-the-pants reporting and thoughtful
portraiture, he creates a richly nuanced picture of a world in
flux, both for Elvis himself and for the broad range of humanity
that was - and continues to be - so indelibly affected by his
music." - Peter Guralnick, author of "Last Train to Memphis "and
"Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley"
"The book that Jim Morrison wanted to read. Jerry Hopkins retells
the Elvis tale with both authority and compassion . . . Hopkins'
tome remains one of the leaders in its field, non-hysterical but
sensational enough in its own way, thoroughly researched and
written in a manner that equates with all the best novels - 4 out
of 5." -" Mojo"
