Elvis-Straight Up, Volume 1, By Joe Esposito and Joe Russo

Destined to become the most examined and talked about book since Elvis, What Happened?. NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE EVER READ BEFORE...ELVIS-STRAIGHT UP! WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ELVIS PRESLEY. What was the "real"
Elvis like? The search for the truth is over!

Elvis always lovingly and with true admiration refered to Joe Esposito as "Gentleman Joe". In the 35 years that I have known him, Joe has continued to conduct himself in that fashion. You only need to read his latest book to get a true understanding of who Joe is, and a clearer picture of who Elvis and his friends and lovers were, and what life with the King involved. I love you, Joe....thanks for being a true friend to me and to Elvis....even today. - Linda Thompson, Elvis' girlfriend and confidant,
1972-1976

Loved the book. Joe tells the truth about Elvis's colleagues and friends.
- Patti Parry, close friend of Elvis' since the early sixties

In "Elvis Straight Up" Joe gives a realistic look at Elvis and those around him. Thanks, Joe, for having the courage to be truthful and giving those "on the outside" real information, not just supposition. For fans who are tired of fictionalized stories and sugar-coated variations, this is the book to read. Be informed by one who knows. - Loanne Parker, Mrs.
Colonel Tom Parker, manager of Elvis Presley
