Hi I’m doing a biography report on Elvis Presley and I’m reading your book “Last Train to Memphis; The Rise of Elvis Presley” Part of my report is to find the turning point in his life. Like what set him on the road to becoming a singing icon. I really suck at this so i was wondering if you could tell me the turning point in his life it would help a ton!!!!! Thanks in Advance :]

The work of the man are the two worst rubbish in a luxury box. You used the same lies, vulgarities and coarseness that Albert Goldman employed in is “Elvis” book but using the most elegant and stylish words.
By experience I write this.
Thanks

Gray:

Fabulous song. I heartily recommend the first Guralnick volume. The second is way too depressing.

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered ’round his tomb
But there’s a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
