Book Reviews of Elvis Presley: The Man. The Life. The Legend.
Book Review: Beyond the Myth to the Person
Summary: 5 Stars
John Lennon said, "Before elvis there was nothing." And he was right. Before Elvis there was the War. Before that the Depression, before that the first War. Mixed in with all this there was the Jazz age, the big band era, and swing. But Elvis carved new territory. With a sound all his own, Elvis found a niche somewhere between where the black artists of the day were trying to go and the mainstream of popular/country/gospel.
Untutored, Elvis was a natural showman. His hair, dress, and stage antics were enough to drive parents nuts, and to drive their kids straight to him. The onstage Elvis was a very different person than the private Elvis. And here, through interviews with the people who knew him best, by extensive use of the Graceland archives, and including more than a hundred images, many rarely seen before, is what may be the definitive biography.
Ms. Keogh has managed to capture the magic of Elvis on stage with the private person. She sums up her book: "Elvis. He was generous, he was kind, he was rambunctious, and, at times lonely, but who among us is not? By any measure, he lived a ful life, and even today, he does not fail to live."
Summary of Elvis Presley: The Man. The Life. The Legend.
A portrait of the pop culture icon examines his ongoing influence in the fashion world, describing his style choices as a long-haired Memphis youth, a clean-cut Hollywood celebrity, and a jumpsuit-donning Las Vegas performer.Music Books
