Description

When George Klein was once an eighth grader at Humes High, he couldn’t have known how important the new kid with the guitar—the boy named Elvis—would later change into in his life. But from the first time GK (as he was once nicknamed by Elvis) heard this kid sing, he knew that Elvis Presley was once any person abnormal. All over Elvis’s rise to fame and all the way through the wild swirl of his remarkable life, Klein was once a steady presence and considered one of Elvis’s closest and most loyal friends until his untimely death in 1977.

In Elvis: My Best Man, a heartfelt, entertaining, and long-awaited contribution to our understanding of Elvis Presley and the early days of rock ’n’ roll, George Klein writes with great affection for the friend he knew—about who the King of Rock ’n’ Roll in reality was once and how he acted when the stage lights were off. This fascinating chronicle of boundary-breaking and music-making through probably the most intriguing and dynamic stretches of American history overflows with insights and anecdotes from any person who was once in the midst of it all. From the good times at Graceland to hanging out with Hollywood stars to butting heads with Elvis’s iron-handed manager, Colonel Tom Parker, to making sure that Elvis’s legacy is fittingly honored, GK was once a true friend of the King and a trailblazer in the music industry in his own right.
