Elvis Presley (Up Close) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Elvis Presley made a sound so different it ushered in a new kind of music: rock and roll. He was able to combine gospel, honky-tonk, country and rhythm and blues to create a unique sound that crossed racial and cultural divides. Though he was incredibly popular, at heart, Elvis was a shy and polite man, and the demands of fame began to take a toll. While his dependence on prescription drugs cut short his life, Elvis’s influence on music and popular culture endures to this day.

This was a really good book. I had previously purchased the "Johnny Cash Up Close" book. And although this book did not have any reviews when I purchased it, I liked the Johnny Cash Upclose. So I figured I would most likely enjoy this upclose book. I was so right. The main reason I wanted this book was because, I was going to Graceland a week before I ordered this book, and I wanted to read a book that would help me refresh my memory on Elvis's history. And boy did this book do its job. I recommend this book to anyone who is intrested in Elvis. And from only owning two Upclose books so far, I would recommend all Upclose books. This was a GREAT Book!!!
Elvis appeared on the scene when teenagers of that era were wanting a change and Elvis helped us break free. Elvis Presley fans, like myself, enjoy reading anything relevant to his life. There is always something new to learn about Elvis every time I read yet another book and 'UpClose' is no exception and an easy read. Thoroughly enjoyed. Well done WH. Thank you. Joycelyn
Certainly not the best book about Elvis. It's a compilation of things that anyone could have research and written about. I was disappointed in the book.
This book is just a copulation of stories from other serious Elvis biographies. No new information or stories. Don't waste your money.
Very nice read. Fast and easy touched on all the hot spots. Thanx so much. Highly recommend this little book
This was given as a gift...and it was perfect!
Good book to read about Elvis and his life
