Overview
In Elvis, the definitive work on the man and his career, noted music critic Dave Marsh delves into every aspect of Presley's life and art. Presley embodies the heart of American pop culture and Marsh looks at the music - from its roots in gospel and country to its revitalization of those forms. With compassion and penetrating insight, Marsh examines Elvis's trajectory - from poor country boy to superstar, from faded has-been to his triumphant comeback, and to his ultimate decline and tragic end.A fascinating, fully-illustrated book on the King by a man many consider to be the best rock-and-roll writer in the country. In this straightforward biography, Marsh discards the prevalent extreme myths about Presley and presents the truth about the reclusive, contradictory, and endlessly fascinating man. Includes a complete discography, filmography, and bibliography of works by and about Presley. Over 200 photographs.
