There may be uncountable books on the King, and maybe they are in the thousands. Elvis Presley books are always in high demand and new ones appear all the time out of nowhere. It is a subject of top interest indeed. Voracious readers will always have something new to devour about his magical life. There is always something else they want to know.
The young Elvis was an usher at the Loews State Theater in his neighborhood and was also a truck driver. As a matter of fact, Jailhouse Rock premiered at the very same cinema. He was born a twin, but his brother Jesse died at birth, leaving the impressionable child with a hole in his heart. He compensated by, according to his mother, having the energy of two people!
It is well known that he married Priscilla, a very young beauty at the time he met while in the military, and made a cool fortune. He also lost a lot of it with various bad deals. He was the victim of many a predator and was always surrounded by a blood-sucking entourage.
Many lived to tell his unseemly tale at the end in their own books. They remember his remarks about his money losses, "Don't worry about the money, I'll just go out on the road and make more." His last words allegedly were that "this is gonna be my best tour ever."
He made many films, not many of which were impressive. He had an opportunity it is said to star with Barbra Streisand in A Star is Born. Being forced by Colonel Tom Parker, his perennial manager, to turn down the role probably cost him a serious career in film (because Barbra would get top billing). But that is all water under the bridge.
He was sad and alone until the end although he did have a girlfriend, Ginger Alden. He was reading in the bathroom a book about Jesus and she warned him not to fall asleep. He also spoke to his cousin, Billy Smith, on the phone stating optimistically that "this is gonna be my best tour ever." Alas, it was not to happen.
If you are looking for hidden meanings, they aren't in these books. It is the same story time and again about a Tennessee lad who made it bigger than big. But he was often lonely, even in a room full of people like his grand room at the Hilton in Los Vegas. You can see a note displayed at Graceland that reveals his soul, "I'm the only person I know who can walk into a room full of people and be alone."
A sad end to a lonely life. He never got over that feeling of loss from his twin's death. As he stated it, "I'm the only person I know who can walk into a room full of people and be alone." This note can still be seen on display at Graceland. He was buried next to his beloved mother, Gladys, at the Forest Hill Cemetery, and both bodies were moved to Graceland in 1977. His former home still receives thousands of visitors who make the pilgrimage from places far and wide. In their eyes, Elvis will never truly die since his music lives on.
