Elvis Presley is a giant figure in American popular culture, a man whose talent and fame were matched only by his later excesses and tragic end. A godlike entity in the history of rock and roll, this twentieth-century icon with a dazzling voice blended gospel and rhythm and blues with country to create a completely new kind of music and new way of expressing male sexuality, which blew the doors off a staid and repressed 1950s America. In Being Elvis, veteran rock journalist Ray Connolly takes a fresh look at the career of the world's most loved singer.

Such a Great Story
Revisado: 02-06-23
I just bought this book & I am completely enthralled. I started listening to it last night & I couldn't stop & couldn't go to sleep. I ended up falling asleep to it & I need to rewind a couple chapters. I'm currently only on Chapter 12, but I just couldn't wait until after reading it to give a review. Ray's story telling is so detailed, that I feel like I'm literally watching Elvis grow up. Although he was born in a totally different time, I feel a lot of parallels to my own story, so that makes it even more addicting.
There's SO many Elvis books out there so it's hard to pick and choose which ones to buy. So far, I've only fully read "Elvis and Me" by Priscilla, and although I'm grateful of her telling her story, I was left feeling a little annoyed by Priscilla's story telling and I have certain opinions about it. I do want to know more about Elvis, but I'm not really interested in his intimate details. So this book is only my second, and I appreciate it so much more cause it tells his whole story, without adding anything dramatic or emotional to it. So, I'm not sure how the rest of it will be but I'm pretty confident it will be a great experience to the end. If you want to know Elvis's whole story, start with this one.

Beautiful Boy
Revisado: 11-07-21
I truly loved this book. Leif is a beautiful soul and I really enjoyed his story. I do feel quite sad after listening to it, but, I am a female and part of the Generation X, who loved Leif back in the 70's and 80's, and who always believed that he truly was a kind soul, and that he just lost his way like the rest of us throughout the years.
I really enjoyed his story and can relate to his pain. I love you Leif. I always will.
