When Elvis Died: Media Overload and the Origins of the Elvis Cult

by Neal Gregory, Janice Gregory

"When Elvis Died" is one of the very few books to address the Elvis phenomenon with both intelligence and insight while avoiding the pretention and adulatory bombast that so often plague rock criticism. It tells, with neither condescension nor fanfare, how the story of Elvis's death shocked the nation and changed forever our society's perception and appreciation of popular culture.
