For the past decade, I have made it my mission to tell Elvis Presley’s true story in spite of all the rumors and myths floating around. So, what drew me to Elvis in the first place?
Aside from the obvious – that he had a million (make that a billion) dollars worth of talent, Elvis was the quintessential rags to riches story. Presley came from nothing, but he lived the American dream. Elvis worked hard and he played hard, and he tried to squeeze the most out of life that he could.
I am constantly fascinated with how Elvis handled his wealth and fame, what he did with his money, how he interacted with his fans, his personal relationships, and how he evolved as a person.
