Elvis Presley was born on January 8th, 1935, in a shack in Tupelo, Mississippi. Though he was born a twin, his brother – who had been named Jess Garon – was tragically stillborn. Elvis died on August 16th, 1977, at the age of just 42, in his Graceland mansion. His death marked something significant in the collective mind, like the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, or Martin Luther King. Conspiracy theories took off about the circumstances surrounding his death: Was Elvis murdered by the mob? Was his death faked? Did Elvis commit suicide? Is he still alive? This book sheds new light on many of these questions, while also celebrating his music and legacy. Elvis Presley played a central and vital role in the development of Rockabilly music, drawing as he did on a vast range of styles, from the Gospel music of his southern youth to the country music of the Midwest. This book is dedicated to Elvis: the artist, the human being, and The King.

� propos de l'auteur

Otto Fuchs was born on May 13th 1978 in Mariazell, Styria/Austria. He discovered a deep passion for rock & roll while still in his early teens. At fourteen years old, he becomes the youngest writer for the German “Rock & Roll Music Magazine”. From 2000–2004 he hosted “The Rocket 88 Show” for KRKT 99.1 FM Rock It Radio, Ventura, California. Numerous interviews with 1950s Rock & Roll Legends such as Billy Lee Riley, Marvin Rainwater, Gene Vincent Blue Cap Drummer Dickie “Be Bop” Harrell, Bill Haley’s Comets members Marshall Lytle, Joey Welz and Bill Turner are led & recorded by Fuchs for this show. During that period he also places various articles in the German “Dynamite―The World Of Rock & Roll” magazine. In 2005, he began to contribute reviews and interviews for German jive, swing & rockabilly magazine “Slam Bam”. Bob Timmers of the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame recruited him as columnist for the Tennessee-based Rockabilly Hall Of Fame. While Otto Fuchs continued to write in German for the “Stompin’ News” magazine, the column for the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame was the first medium requiring him to write in his second language, English. During a trip to his former home, London (where he lived from 1997–1999), Otto Fuchs met John Howard. Soon the two men came to the agreement that “UK Rock” (whose editor John Howard was, at that time) will publish his work as well. Otto Fuchs currently hosts the Internet Radio Programme “Rockabilly Rules OK” on Rockabilly Radio (www.rockabillyradio.net [http://www.rockabillyradio.net]). He also hosted the “Rockin’ The Juke Joint Show” from 2015 until 2020, the final year of KRKT 99.1FM Post Falls, Idaho, being active.
