Amazon.com Review
Elvis Presley, the kid from Tupelo, Mississippi, who paid four dollars to press a demo record as a birthday present for his mom; Elvis Presley, the rock-and-roll pioneer whose pelvic gyrations drove his legions of fans wild and his outspoken critics crazy; Elvis Presley, the soldier, the husband and father, the movie star, and the legend. All of these images are collected by Dave Marsh in his aptly titled book Elvis. Conveying the human being behind the icon often proves a difficult task, but Marsh's text is rife with well-researched facts and insightful observations that, coupled with the rich collection of photographs they accompany, deepen readers' understanding and appreciation of the King. The index containing a comprehensive bibliography, discography, and filmography is a solid resource, making Marsh's Elvis as informative as it is entertaining.
Product Description
"Before there was Elvis, there was nothing" (John Lennon). The King lives on in this definitive biography, now in a new edition, featuring enough photos to satisfy the hungriest of Elvis fans and music historians. A complete discography, filmography, and bibliography on works about Presley round out Marsh's insightful and incisive text. 200+ photos.

 SECOND BEST ELVIS BIOGRAPHY October 11, 2004
B Ardell Young (Camden, SC United States)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I read this book when it was published in the 1980s and for over ten years, I felt it was the best book about Elvis Presley.
However, Peter Guralnick produced a great piece of work with "Last Train" and "Careless Love" that captured the essence of Elvis that had been missing from every type of media that attempted to tell Elvis Presley's story.
Marsh's book doesn't fare well when compared to either book but it was the first serious work that, for the most part, was able to correctly put Presley's life on paper.
My Favorite Elvis Book May 31, 2000

9 out of 9 found this review helpful
As compelling as the two Guralnick books are, my favorite is this sprawling, wonderfully illustrated biography highlighted by Mr. Marsh's knowledgeable text. His list of song highlights in the back of this invaluable volume serves as a great "crash course" in the King's discography. Dave Marsh is a great fan of Elvis, but the book does not sink into gushy fan love letter stuff, nor does it go the Albert Goldman route. If I could award six stars, I would.
