Read this book near enough the time it was released. Although the Stanleys not only had a ringside view of Elvis' life from the 1960s to the last days, but actively played a role in it, this is by no means the best book about Elvis. Yes, inevitably there are insights about Elvis, however, the book is fairly mundane. And despite their relatively privileged position, they don't seem to be the best keepers of the flame. There are many better books if you are interested in reading about Elvis. Much of this book reads like an episode of Dallas and you are given the impression that this book is more about setting out perceived grievances and settling old scores. I also don't recall much of interest being said about Elvis the performing artist. As often is the case, with many people just wishing to cash in on his fame, Elvis deserves better. Thankfully, authors like Jerry Hopkins and Peter Guralnick have produced much more worthy biographies of Elvis.

I got this book from the library once to read it I don't think it's one of the better bios but I still would recommend it as Dee Presley and the Stanley brothers share there memories about Elvis it's good if you want to know more about Elvis that you never knew before

I read this book when I was in school.I was a teenager at the time.I was just starting to learn the truths and non-truths about him.The Stanley's only wanted what they could get out of him.No one would know anything about them just like Priscilla if Elvis had not been in their lives they would still be a nobody.
