Elvis And The Memphis Mafia (Paperback)

good book, very interesting, sometimes a bit too personal, but a must

I agree to Uncut: I think it's the best book I've read about ELVIS to date.

This awful hatchet job makes Albert Goldman's effort read like a nursery rhyme. I find the dark side of Elvis fascinating, but the individual described here is a truly nasty human being. He is accused of almost every evil act you could think of, all the while the authors take credit for the good things he acheived, and they question anything Elvis did worthy of merit. This is a nasty piece of work, but it does show what a spoilt, jealous, petulent bunch Billy Smith, Marty Lacker and Lamar Fike are. How this can be described as "the best Elvis book written to date" I simply cannot comprehend, it is nothing of the sort.
