Title: Insightful and Intelligent
Product review: As a native of memphis, I grew up surrounded by Elvis and his music. While not a fanatic, I have always had an appreciation for the man's music-and the circumstances in which he found himself. So I found this book to be the best I've read so far-honest, revealing and smart. If you think the man was/is some sort of deity who could do no wrong-or if you stubbornly view Elvis as an overweight, vegas joke- then this book will make you rethink your opinions. It is straighforward AND sympathetic. Guralnick restores Elvis's humanity, for better or work, and slso exposes the syncophants -and true friends-who surrounded him. a very important book on a very important man.PS- why wont all the johnny rivers disciples get off amazon and take it to Guralnick?
