Before Elvis There Was Nothing

Más información sobre el libro

This is a galvanizing collection of memorable quotes set against classic photographs. The quotes range from the funny, perceptive off-hand remark to the studied observation; from the naive but revealing comment to the deeply felt tribute. All are worth repeating. They come from as diverse a group as John Lennon and Imelda Marcos, Bruce Springsteen and Richard Nixon. Each is accompanied by the perfect photograph. Set in the chronological order of his life - and death - the book is structured as a quirky biography, a life told through the words and images of people who saw Elvis in many distinct ways. Elvis remains the ultimate symbol of youth in all its intoxication and the most recognizable icon America has ever produced.
