À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'I suppose I've been talking about Elvis since the day I met him as an eighth grader ... The truth is, I've never really said good bye. It's been over thirty years since I last got to spend time with the man I was fortunate enough to consider my closest friend, but he's still a part of each and every day of my life.'

'GK was there from the beginning, and there 'til the end. This book is fact.' Jerry Lee Lewis

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

When George Klein was thirteen, he couldn't have known how important the new kid in class - the one with the guitar, the boy named Elvis - would become in his life. But from the first time GK (as he was nicknamed by Elvis) heard this kid sing, he knew that Elvis Presley was someone extraordinary. In this heartfelt, entertaining and affectionate memoir, George Klein writes candidly about their close friendship, which began at school and continued through Elvis's rise to fame and the wild swirl of his tumultuous life, right up to the singer's tragic death.

Writing with the authority of someone who was in the midst of it all, from the good times at Graceland and hanging out with Hollywood stars to butting heads with Elvis's iron-handed manager, Colonel Tom Parker, GK reveals who the King really was and how he acted when the stage lights were off. Full of anecdotes and first-hand accounts of some of the most defining moments in the legend's life, Elvis: My Best Man captures the true essence of the man behind the music.
