Dickerson, James L. Colonel Tom Parker - the Curious Life of Elvis Presley's Eccentric Manager
New York Cooper Square Publishers 2001 0815410883 / 9780815410881 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Bottom book edges have been bent, possibly dropped; otherwise, in excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Promotional Literature laid into book. Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; B&W Photographs; 9.3 x 6.3 x 0.8 inches ; 261 pages; "Based on unprecedented, original research and interviews with insiders, this authoritative biography of Colonel Tom Parker (1909-1997) includes new revelations and insights into music's most notorious manager." "Investigative journalist and music writer James L. Dickerson explores such intriguing topics as Parker's illegal entrance into the United States, his stint as a carny with Royal American Shows and its lifelong impact on his business approach, his skillful management of country singer Eddy Arnold, his self-serving partnership with Hank Snow, and his longtime friendship with President Lyndon B. Johnson." "This book details how Parker's decisions, and Elvis's complete subservience to the Colonel, transformed the singer from an innovative rocker whose early landmark songs personified an unequaled joy in singing and music-making, to an obese, drug-addicted, Liberace-garbed, Las Vegas spectacle. His death at age forty-two was, in Parker's view, simply another opportunity - perhaps the best one yet - to reap millions."--BOOK JACKET.
