About this product

Product Information

From the jittery beginnings, the controversial performances, the television appearances, the movie making, the recording sessions, the cars, the homes, the pools, the girls, the management, the family, the fame, and all the way to his first day in the Army when all that came to a screeching halt for two years, Elvis Presley's journey in revolutionizing popular music between 1953 to 1958 is covered in this book called History with Elvis, Volume I, The Pre-Army Years. The book begins in January 1953 as the Presley family is evicted from a Memphis housing project and follows Elvis' journey in his rise to iconic status as one of the most famous, controversial, and popular entertainers in the world by the time he entered the military in March 1958 after being drafted. This period is extremely important for Elvis because t only did he become the family breadwinner, #1 RCA recording star, teen idol, movie star, but his family life would never be the same after that first day in the service as he would instantly lose his freedom and then his beloved mother 5 months later. Also intertwined with Elvis' journey through this period are the events of world history. How did Elvis get so big, so fast, and what in the world was going on for this entertainer to be swept away into service for two years just as his career was taking off? This book attempts to let the actual facts and events as they happened help answer some of these questions and more as the reader re-visits some of the most incredible historical events of the 1950's including the Army-McCarthy hearings, the H-bomb, school desegregation, birth of Rock 'n' Roll, the space race, Dr. Salk's polio vaccine, death of James Dean, all the way down to the hula hoop craze and the poodle skirts. History cant be complete without Elvis, and the Elvis story cant be complete without history. This is an in-depth look at both. A must have book for any Elvis fan! BRADFORD E. BUSTER LOKER was born in Cut Off, Louisiana, on April 21, 1964. He currently lives in Thibodaux, Louisiana, with his wife Bonnie, and beautiful children Madison, Matthew, and Miles. He has been an appraiser of real estate for the past 27 years. This is his second book. His first book is called History with the Beatles.
