Summary

There's no mention of sequins, drugs, or peanut butter in thisunderstated biography of the teenaged Elvis, a serious and worthy attempt toanswer the question, "Who was this guy before he was an icon, thevoice of a generation, the King?" The essential clarity and honesty ofGuralnick's prose clearly limns the eager, malleable boy whose immense talentchanged the course of American music.

Author Biography

Peter Guralnick has written extensively about American music and musicians. His books include Feel Like Going Home, Sweet Soul Music, Lost Highway, Searching for Robert Johnson, and the novel Nighthawk Blues. He is presently at work on the second part of his two-volume Elvis Presley biography.
