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.
Who was this young man from the south? He was born in Memphis to Gladys and Vernon Presley, the only surviving twin. His mother states that he always had the energy of two people. No doubt, this was true. He was an usher at the Loews State Theater (ironically where Jailhouse Rock premiered) and a truck driver early on before fame hit.
Elvis was always searching for something and was said to be a spiritual soul. He never took his career for granted and always asked "why me." His untimely death in a bathroom is a sad end indeed to a magical musical being who gave millions his best.
He did not keep much of the money he had accumulated. He was the victim of many bad business deals and the growing economic needs of his entourage. Priscilla had to recover a lot of his wealth after his death by licensing his music. The demand for his hit songs never ends. But he left life without not much more than a million dollars to his name.
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.
His death was surely premature and mysterious. He had been playing the piano located on his racquetball court and was singing two favorite songs, "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain" and "Unchained Melody." A quick stop to the bathroom would be his last.
Elvis' grave is found there at his homeland, alongside his mother's. Both had been moved from Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis in 1977 due to a grave robbery attempt. It's now all there at Graceland for his fans to see and experience. Elvis indeed has come home.
