If you want to read about the King, there are literally thousands of books on the market. Elvis Presley books have a ready audience. There isn't anything you can't find out by now. He has been the subject of vast speculation and a bit of factual knowledge. He is a man of giant proportions. Voracious readers keep seeking new accounts.
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.
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.
This is the stuff of legends and we eat it all up. We cry at the story about losing a key role opposite Barbra Streisand in A Star is Born. Colonel Tom Parker, his perennial manager, refused to let him take second billing, but he lost a major opportunity to jump start a serious film career. He was always subjected to such whims. No wonder he lost much of his fortune to bad business deals.
The fact that he died in the bathroom is not surprising. After all, he had a real barber chair ensconced there. He was wont to read for periods of time. He died sadly and suddenly with no warning, rhyme, or reason. He had just finished a stint at the piano (still in the racquetball court at Graceland to this day) and was not in bad spirits. He had just crooned "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain" and "Unchained Melody, " two favorites.
Elvis ended his life at the piano, tapping out his favorite songs, "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain" and "Unchained Melody." He wanted to make a quick pit stop. It was to be his last. His memory skyrocketed throughout the late 20th century and still continues to this day. Thousands make the pilgrimage to Graceland each year. On display is much memorabilia including a note that says, "I'm the only person I know who can walk into a room full of people and be alone."
It is a colorful greater than life story and the man was to become a legend. He is buried next to his beloved mother at Graceland, moved in 1977 from the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis. Thousands of fans make the pilgrimage to Graceland each year. These same people buy the books that perpetuate the life and loves of the King.
