Product Description
That voice, Graceland, the cars, the girls, the hair...Elvis Presley revolutionised Western pop culture when, at age twenty-two, he became the world's first modern superstar. A Memphis Beau Brummel even before he was famous, Elvis's personal style, like his music, had such a direct impact on his audience that it continues to permeate our world today. With ELVIS PRESLEY Pamela Keogh compellingly examines Elvis's life and style to reveal the generous, complex, spiritual man behind the fourteen-carat gold sunglasses. As Keogh demonstrates in ELVIS PRESLEY, Presley is in every sense a dynamic style icon - a man who travelled from poverty to fame, and through his very life defined modern culture. From his days as a young man in Memphis who wore black lace shirts and long hair, to his years as a rockabilly bad boy in a slouchy Lansky jacket, through the clean cut Hollywood phase, and finally to the jumpsuit-wearing Vegas era, Presley's sense of style - like his voice - was unmistakable. Drawing from extensive research and interviews Keogh introduces readers to the distinctive Elvises that emerged throughout his career, complete with fascinating insights into his life and times.

A perfect gift from a true Elvis fan... February 20, 2006
Dr. Lisa F. (NYC)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
My sister in law is a die hard Elvis fan (probably in the womb.) She has all the books you can think of. I know somehow she spoke with the author a few times, after reading the book, and I must say her review was true. I read it in 2 days and I could not put it down, like her! She purchased 20 copies for family members and I was so very happy to get one, even after I finished reading it. My mother in law also has a book on Jackie from before and the writer is very much appreciated and it is obvious the hard work put into it. It even inspired my sister in law to go to Memphis and see Graceland as soon as possible, although she was always afraid to go alone. This book has encouraged her to do so. I was very impressed and my sis in law has great taste!
