Zig-Zag Elvis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I read Mr. Greenwood's book and found it very informative and personal. The book takes the reader through Elvis' personal life and marriage and numberous love affairs. It depicts the Colonel's control over Elvis and possible black mail. It depicts how the people he was associated with over the years were mainly there for the gravy. An excellent book.
a wonderful and sympathetic portrayl of the Rock 'n' roll
