ELVIS: TRUTH, MYTH & BEYOND is a book of intimate recollections from a 23-year friendship that attempts to answer a single question: what was it like to be Elvis Presley?
Memphis Mafia charter member Lamar Fike’s connection with Elvis dated from early 1954 (just before Elvis’ first history-making Sun records) until the day Elvis died in 1977. Lamar was there for the entire ride: Hollywood, the Army, Las Vegas and everything in-between.
Yet until ELVIS: TRUTH, MYTH & BEYOND, Lamar never had the chance to tell the full story — one-on-one — of his remarkable friendship with the world’s greatest music star.
ELVIS: TRUTH, MYTH & BEYOND contains 41,000 words about Elvis spoken by a man who knew Elvis before and after he became an icon, a commodity, a legend.
400 questions about Elvis, and as much truth about The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll as you’re ready to handle.
Are you ready?
