The Genuine Elvis

“The coupling of Ronnie McDowell’s great paintings with an insider’s delightful stories about Elvis [is] a magic combination.” —Dick Clark, American Bandstand

Untold stories, candid photographs, and personal memories fill the pages of this ultimate tribute to the king of rock ’n’ roll. From anecdotes about Elvis’s high-school years from friend Jimmy Angel to the personal memories of Elvis’s best friend, Jerry Schilling, about the Christmas of 1975 to Elvis’s cousin Edie Hand’s childhood memories of their summertime family reunions, this book is a must-have for fans.

This collection features contributions from Elvis’s friends and family members, country music star Ronnie McDowell’s original paintings, and dozens of remarkable pictures by Al Wertheimer. Highlights include the entries from Pat Boone; Louise Smith, widow of Elvis’s cousin Gene; and the never-before-told story of the exclusive 1956 interview disc jockey Charles Watts recorded with Elvis and his parents, Gladys and Vernon.
