Summary:  "Elvis Presley is more popular than ever, yet he died nearly forty years ago. Constantly remixed and re-released, the iconic singer has lived on in our hearts, as a sound, an image and an especially vigorous personality. The story of the king's thriving afterlife, of Elvis after he left the building. For many Elvis fans, celebrating the music star begins in pilgrimage to Elvis's Memphis mansion home, Graceland. When he died his estate was in dire financial straits, having been pillaged by his manager, Colonel Parker. It was eventually saved and revived by the astute business vision of Elvis's ex-wife Priscilla Presley. It has now become one of the most visited tourist destinations in America, and its most famous home after the White House. Graceland, for many, has come to represent the deeply spiritual dimension of the Elvis legend, which over the decades has strengthened as many fans have anointed their musical idol with Christ-like qualities and propagated not only a quasi-religious Elvis myth, but astonishing rumours, including the one that Elvis never actually died. Underpinning the whole story is Elvis's extraordinary charisma and - lest we forget - his astonishing voice and musicianship. From walking the eccentrically carpeted rooms of Graceland, to witnessing the bidding of stratospheric sums of his auctioned relics and mingling among the cast numbers of impersonators of the king's likeness. Ted Harrison offers the ultimate Elvis tribute"--Provided by publisher.
