Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who on the planet doesn't know that Elvis Presley gave electrifying performances and enthralled millions? Who doesn't know that he was the King of Rock 'n' Roll? But who knows that the King himself lived in the thrall of one dominant person? This was Gladys Smith Presley, his protective, indulgent, beloved mother. Elvis and Gladys, one of the best researched and most acclaimed books on Elvis's early life, reconstructs the extraordinary role Gladys played in her son's formative years. Uncovering facts not seen by other biographers, Elvis and Gladys reconstructs for the first time the history of the mother and son's devoted relationship and reveals new information about Elvis—his Cherokee ancestry, his boyhood obsession with comic books, and his early compulsion to rescue his family from poverty. Coming to life in the compelling narrative is the poignant story of a unique boy and the maternal tie that bound him. It is at once an intimate psychological portrait of a tragic relationship and a mesmerizing tale of the early years of an international idol. “For once, a legend is presented to us by the mind and heart of a literate, careful biographer who cares,” wrote Liz Smith in the New York Daily News when Elvis and Gladys was originally published in 1985. This is the book, Smith says, “for any Elvis lover who wants to know more about what made Presley the man he was and the mama's boy he became.” The Boston Globe called this thoughtful, informative biography of one of popular music's most enduring stars “nothing less than the best Elvis book yet.”

Book excerpt: It may sound crazy, but Elvis Presley - that god-fearing, gospel-singing American pop icon - was a Jew; these maverick journalists and filmmakers have proven it. A behind-the-scenes account of their irreverent and witty film documentary, in which Wallace and Goldstein took a Hasidic Jewish Elvis impersonator and an Orthodox Rabbi on a trek to trace Elvis's roots all the way to Israel and then bring the good news home to Graceland, this book compiles production logs, selections from the script, trivia and the investigator's official report on Elvis's roots.

Book excerpt: What happens when your only son becomes The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll? From the moment she first holds him, after his twin brother is stillborn, Gladys Presley loves her son Elvis ferociously. She will be his greatest influence, the love of his life. She will be the one by his side, when Elvis is a boy and his father is in the jailhouse; as the family move from place to place, skirting poverty in Tupelo, Mississippi; as Elvis’s obsession with music grows; as they move to Memphis and he begins his whirlwind rise to never-before-seen success… And he will love her back, even as his heart is turned by the blues, clothes and girls. But while he makes it big in Hollywood, brings audiences across the land to their knees and achieves unimagined wealth and fame, there is another story – of drinking and diet pills, loneliness and loss. While the heat and music of the American South in the 40s and 50s play in the background, a heartbreaking portrait of a mother’s love and a son’s devotion takes centre stage. When Elvis reaches the height of his power, he buys his family the ultimate mansion on the hill, Graceland, where he hopes his mother will be happy. The reality, though, is very different, and Elvis finds that even kings must go on alone. 'Graceland is an astonishing literary achievement. Bethan Roberts somehow manages to unlock the mystery to that beautiful sadness in the voice of Elvis. Utterly heartbreaking.' Jake Arnott

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Gladys Love and Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone' by Darrin Lee Memmer is a 200+ page soft cover available on Amazon.com in traditional A4 format ($12.00 USD * e12.00 * £10.00). This project is dedicated to Mrs. Janelle McComb, a wonderful lady instrumental in establishing The Tupelo Birthplace and Chapel. WILLIAM T. MILES: The person most responsible for the success of Elvis Presley? Credit for lasting success must be given to the late mother of Elvis, Mrs. Gladys Smith Presley. Humbleness is the word used most by Tupelo residents who remember her. Another term used to describe Mrs. Presley was "beautiful." All of those who remember her are in complete agreement in describing the singer's mother as the "sweetest woman with the best personality" they ever knew. You carefully comb through each/every Elvis Presley biography in your library and total up all of the quality, truth-based quotes about (and by) Gladys Love Presley. This sum will be a tiny fraction of what the author has assembled within the pages of 'Gladys Love and Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone'! MAE AXTON: Through the parentage of two fine people, Vernon and Gladys Presley, God gave us a very special young man to walk the paths of earth, and through [career] guidance, the paths Elvis walked wound through the intricate lives of so many millions of people, and his light still shines on in a Universe that really needed someone like Elvis Aaron Presley... God love him! IN HONORThis 2nd edition of 'Gladys Love and Elvis Presley' is published in honor of Pat Medford Booth and May Mann. JAMES BLACKWOOD: I remember Elvis went over to his mother's casket. He was crying and he leaned over to his mother. He said, "Mama, I would give every dime I have and go back to digging ditches, just to have you back." This soft cover boasts fascinating, contemporaneous quotes printed in 'Elvis "The Cat" Presley' from Marion Keisker, Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, Mae Boren Axton ('Heartbreak Hotel' co-writer, promoter of 1955/56 Jacksonville personal appearances), Bob Neal, George Klein, Evan "Buzzy" Forbess, Oscar Davis, Pat Medford Booth, James & Gladys Tipler (Crown Electric Co.), Gordon Stoker, Ray Walker, James Blackwood, Jack Carter, Mrs. Faye Harris and more - often in print for the first time! LLOYD SHEARER: Matty Brescia, a correspondent for Variety, was with me the first day I called on Elvis in Memphis. Recently I checked my notes against his memory."Could it be true," I asked him, "that Mrs. Presley insisted upon serving breakfast to you and me and a black maid instead of having the maid serve us?" Brescia says he will never forget that day. MATTY BRESCIA: There were two black maids, not one. And Gladys Presley served them both. She was the sweetest woman there ever was. MAY MANN: Reports said Mrs. Presley tippled and that it was alcohol that made her ill so often. Yet here was Elvis, who didn't drink or smoke, while the serenity shining on the faces of Elvis and Gladys and Vernon bespoke the lies of such rumors-as I was to find out. The kind of soft-spoken, wholesome, unpretentious people you instinctively felt by their demeanor were honest and God-fearing. JOE "BITSEY" SAVERY: You could just feel Elvis' love for Gladys. He opened doors for her, helped her into her seat and the way he looked at her, you could just feel it.

Book excerpt: Destined to become the most examined and talked about book since Elvis, What Happened?. NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE EVER READ BEFORE...ELVIS-STRAIGHT UP! WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ELVIS PRESLEY. What was the "real" Elvis like? The search for the truth is over! Elvis always lovingly and with true admiration refered to Joe Esposito as "Gentleman Joe". In the 35 years that I have known him, Joe has continued to conduct himself in that fashion. You only need to read his latest book to get a true understanding of who Joe is, and a clearer picture of who Elvis and his friends and lovers were, and what life with the King involved. I love you, Joe....thanks for being a true friend to me and to Elvis....even today. - Linda Thompson, Elvis' girlfriend and confidant, 1972-1976 Loved the book. Joe tells the truth about Elvis's colleagues and friends. - Patti Parry, close friend of Elvis' since the early sixties In "Elvis Straight Up" Joe gives a realistic look at Elvis and those around him. Thanks, Joe, for having the courage to be truthful and giving those "on the outside" real information, not just supposition. For fans who are tired of fictionalized stories and sugar-coated variations, this is the book to read. Be informed by one who knows. - Loanne Parker, Mrs. Colonel Tom Parker, manager of Elvis Presley
