Who on the planet doesn't know that Elvis Presley gave electrifying performances and enthralled millions? Who doesn't know that he was the King of Rock 'n' Roll? But who knows that the King himself lived in the thrall of one dominant person? This was Gladys Smith Presley, his protective, indulgent, beloved mother. Elvis and Gladys, one of the best researched and most acclaimed books on Elvis's early life, reconstructs the extraordinary role Gladys played in her son's formative years. Uncovering facts not seen by other biographers, Elvis and Gladys reconstructs for the first time the history of the mother and son's devoted relationship and reveals new information about Elvis—his Cherokee ancestry, his boyhood obsession with comic books, and his early compulsion to rescue his family from poverty. Coming to life in the compelling narrative is the poignant story of a unique boy and the maternal tie that bound him. It is at once an intimate psychological portrait of a tragic relationship and a mesmerizing tale of the early years of an international idol. “For once, a legend is presented to us by the mind and heart of a literate, careful biographer who cares,” wrote Liz Smith in the New York Daily News when Elvis and Gladys was originally published in 1985. This is the book, Smith says, “for any Elvis lover who wants to know more about what made Presley the man he was and the mama's boy he became.” The Boston Globe called this thoughtful, informative biography of one of popular music's most enduring stars “nothing less than the best Elvis book yet.”

'Gladys Love and Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone' by Darrin Lee Memmer is a 200+ page soft cover available on Amazon.com in traditional A4 format ($12.00 USD * e12.00 * £10.00). This project is dedicated to Mrs. Janelle McComb, a wonderful lady instrumental in establishing The Tupelo Birthplace and Chapel. WILLIAM T. MILES: The person most responsible for the success of Elvis Presley? Credit for lasting success must be given to the late mother of Elvis, Mrs. Gladys Smith Presley. Humbleness is the word used most by Tupelo residents who remember her. Another term used to describe Mrs. Presley was "beautiful." All of those who remember her are in complete agreement in describing the singer's mother as the "sweetest woman with the best personality" they ever knew. You carefully comb through each/every Elvis Presley biography in your library and total up all of the quality, truth-based quotes about (and by) Gladys Love Presley. This sum will be a tiny fraction of what the author has assembled within the pages of 'Gladys Love and Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone'! MAE AXTON: Through the parentage of two fine people, Vernon and Gladys Presley, God gave us a very special young man to walk the paths of earth, and through [career] guidance, the paths Elvis walked wound through the intricate lives of so many millions of people, and his light still shines on in a Universe that really needed someone like Elvis Aaron Presley... God love him! IN HONORThis 2nd edition of 'Gladys Love and Elvis Presley' is published in honor of Pat Medford Booth and May Mann. JAMES BLACKWOOD: I remember Elvis went over to his mother's casket. He was crying and he leaned over to his mother. He said, "Mama, I would give every dime I have and go back to digging ditches, just to have you back." This soft cover boasts fascinating, contemporaneous quotes printed in 'Elvis "The Cat" Presley' from Marion Keisker, Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, Mae Boren Axton ('Heartbreak Hotel' co-writer, promoter of 1955/56 Jacksonville personal appearances), Bob Neal, George Klein, Evan "Buzzy" Forbess, Oscar Davis, Pat Medford Booth, James & Gladys Tipler (Crown Electric Co.), Gordon Stoker, Ray Walker, James Blackwood, Jack Carter, Mrs. Faye Harris and more - often in print for the first time! LLOYD SHEARER: Matty Brescia, a correspondent for Variety, was with me the first day I called on Elvis in Memphis. Recently I checked my notes against his memory."Could it be true," I asked him, "that Mrs. Presley insisted upon serving breakfast to you and me and a black maid instead of having the maid serve us?" Brescia says he will never forget that day. MATTY BRESCIA: There were two black maids, not one. And Gladys Presley served them both. She was the sweetest woman there ever was. MAY MANN: Reports said Mrs. Presley tippled and that it was alcohol that made her ill so often. Yet here was Elvis, who didn't drink or smoke, while the serenity shining on the faces of Elvis and Gladys and Vernon bespoke the lies of such rumors-as I was to find out. The kind of soft-spoken, wholesome, unpretentious people you instinctively felt by their demeanor were honest and God-fearing. JOE "BITSEY" SAVERY: You could just feel Elvis' love for Gladys. He opened doors for her, helped her into her seat and the way he looked at her, you could just feel it.

This biography revisits an all American classic; the King of Rock and Roll. The original rock-n-roll rebel, Elvis Presley revolutionized the music industry. His hip-shaking performances made young fans scream, television censors scramble, and parents furious. But Elvis was far more than a sex symbol. Over a period of two decades, he had nearly 40 Top 10 hits. His music influenced The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, and many others. Elvis showed remarkable range as a singer, excelling at rock songs, ballads, rhythm and blues, country, and even gospel. Elvis died of heart failure in 1977 at the age of 42, but his legend and music live on.

Elvis Presley was unique. "I don't sound like nobody," he said before he was anybody, and John Lennon, whose Beatles would later create their own mania in the world, would offer the tribute: "Before Elvis, there was nothing." Elvis, writes New York Times bestselling author Rees Quinn, was the world's first superstar, but that couldn't erase the scars of a childhood filled with poverty, humiliation, loneliness, and shame. He tried to buy happiness but failed. With his leather, gold, and ivory jumpsuits, Cadillacs, private planes, and Memphis mansion, Graceland, Elvis came to epitomize rock-star excess. This book goes beyond the music to explore Elvis's background, family, ambition, and the relationships that made him an icon. It is not just for Elvis fans - it's a fascinating story of a talented man who has touched all of our lives.
