By the early 1970s ELVIS PRESLEY had weathered the British Invasion, a decade of lackluster motion pictures, exile from the Pop Charts and critical assaults by the media to re-assert his position as the dominant figure in entertainment and as a cultural icon of unpreced-ented stature. He not only sold out concert halls, arenas, stadiums, coliseums, forums and show-rooms, he set attendance records that still stand after more than thirty years, from the Hilton Hotel to Madison Square Garden to the Houston Astrodome, back home at the Mid-South Coliseum and finally at Market Square Arena. In every city, town and hamlet, throngs of adoring fans cheered him, mauled him and worshipped him. He recorded platinum albums of golden hits, filled movie houses to capacity with his award-winning rockumentaries, and played a concert via satellite from Hawaii that was seen by the whole wide world. For good measure he was even voted one of the "Ten Most Outstanding Young Men In America," by The Jaycees and was made a Drug Enforcement Agent "at large" by the President of the United States. Yet in spite of this, he was time and time again knocked out of his hometown headlines by the local high school football team that was blazing its own path to glory. It may have been ELVIS' World, but in Memphis he was just a part of the scene; and it was a scene that he was very much a part of . . .

Around Elvis

Peters, Thorne

Legend Enterprise

A novel of historical fiction about a 1930's director of erotic film noir whose "Director's Cuts," filled with nudity, adult language and disturbing scenes of ritualistic sexuality, {and those were just the "R" rated movies...} would not be seen by general audiences until decades after their release. It is a story that spans a century, references millenniums and is told by a man who lived 60 years of his life in only one hundred days.

Like millions of first-generation Rock & Roll teens, Sandi Haynes Pichon, Author, Columnist & President of TCB ELVIS STYLE Fan Club in Louisiana, was Raised on ELVIS! ELVIS! ELVIS! In between the time she sat with him on his motorcycle at his Audubon Drive home until the day she stood weeping by his coffin inside Graceland, Sandi was front row and center for Elvis concerts all over the country. As a pre-teen in Memphis, she was there to witness a regional attraction which become a national obsession; she devoted years of her adult life to being part of his global audience, and has since dedicated herself to charities that pay homage to his iconic memory. Through several chance meetings with Elvis himself and friendships with his inner circle Sandi was close enough to feel for the wonderful man that was living in the shadow of his awesome reputation. They exchanged gifts and kisses across the footlights and she was invited to the parties after the shows and even to Graceland Mansion. The author claims that she was so fortunate to have been able to have such meaningful contact with the most beloved entertainer ever. This story belongs to all the fans, who have loved him, turned their rooms into shrines to him, and stood by him for all these years. So now enjoy this pictorial novella of a time and place where a man changed the world one heart at a time.
