Product Description:
This intimate portrait of Elvis Presley, America's favorite music idol, chronicles his remarkable life from a dirt-poor schoolboy in Memphis through his rise as a Rock n' Roll superstar to his final days in Las Vegas. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Elvis's closest friends and new documentary evidence, this biography reveals secrets about his relationships with his addictive mother Gladys, his ruthless manager Colonel Tom Parker, his musical rivals The Beatles, and the truth behind his marriage to Priscilla Beaulieu. Featuring a complete discography and filmography as well as sixteen pages of photographs--some never before published--Down at the End of Lonely Street cuts through the lies and the legends to present the real Elvis Presley, a man who was troubled, talented, and unfailingly human.

I have read many many books on Elvis. I picked this book up and was impressed with all the information on Elvis from good to bad. If you are new to world of Elvis, first off congrats, this book is a great starter. It talks about every part of his life but never gets real deep into one subject.
For example, the author speaks about Elvis's relationship with Kathy Westmorland, one of his back up singers. If you find this interesting, you can pick up her book to learn more. You will read ... Read More

Those looking for an intensive, in-depth analysis of his Music are in for a disappointment. This book is about the Life and Times of a musical legend, not his songs, or his accomplishments! The man was not a God and people need to get over that fact. If you're looking for a hero-worshipping book, don't buy this one.

I picked this book of just to have something to read and it floored me. The book gives you ALL of Elvis's life and not just the sanitized versiion. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking the TRUTH about Elvis. From his greatest moments to his lowest.

If Peter Guralnick's mammoth two volume biography didn't exist, this book might serve more of a purpose. But compared to the Guralnick books this is downright flimsy. There is excruciatingly little new here though there are a few early anecdotes and some interesting interviews with marginal players in the Presley story like co-stars Deborah Walley and Mary Ann Mobley who don't get interviewed in connection with Presley very often. There is also extensive interview time spent with the infamous Dr. ... Read More

A lot of work went into this book, but it lacks objectivity. It is pro-Elvis, though not excessively so, but it seems entirely too kind to Dr. Nick and Priscilla.
Dr. Nick no doubt curbed Elvis's overall drug consumption and minimized the careless peaks that would have occurred had he not been present. However, Dr. Nick was still party to the drug excess. It is difficult not to believe that his interest was primarily money at the expense of caring for Elvis. Despite receiving a hefty ... Read More
