Me and a Guy Named Elvis: My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley Summary
| "An intimate memoir of a friendship with the greatest artist in rock and roll history, taking you from late-night parties at Graceland to the bright lights of Hollywood sets and glittering stages of Vegas On a lazy Sunday in 1954, twelve-year-old Jerry Schilling wandered into a Memphis touch football game, only to discover that his team was quarterbacked by a nineteen-year-old Elvis Presley, the local teenager whose first record, ôThatÆs All Right,ö had just debuted on Memphis radio. The two became fast friends, even as Elvis turned into the worldÆs biggest star. In 1964, Elvis invited Jerry to work for him as part of his ôMemphis Mafia,ö and Jerry soon found himself living with Elvis full-time in a Bel Air mansion and, later, in his own room at Graceland. Over the next thirteen years Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacitiesùfrom bodyguard to photo double to co-executive producer on a karate film. But more than anything else he was ElvisÆs close friend and confidant: Elvis trusted Jerry with protecting his life when he received death threats, he asked Jerry to drive him and Priscilla to the hospital the day Lisa Marie was born and to accompany him during the famous ôlost weekendö when he traveled to meet President Nixon at the White House. Me and a Guy Named Elvis looks at Presley from a friendÆs perspective, offering readers the man rather than the iconùincluding insights into the creative frustrations that lead to ElvisÆs abuse of prescription medicine and his tragic death. Jerry offers never-before-told stories about life inside ElvisÆs inner circle and an emotional recounting of the great times, hard times, and unique times he and Elvis shared. These vivid memories will be priceless to ElvisÆs millions of fans, and the compelling story will fascinate an even wider audience." |
