Book Review: Best Elvis Biography
Summary: 5 Stars
August 16th is a day no Elvis fan will ever forget. This exhaustive work celebrates the life of Elvis Presley, the most influential entertainer of the 20th century.
Joe Esposito spent nearly twenty years as Elvis's road manager, confident, and very close personal friend. In Remember Elvis, Joe helps set the record straight about Presley's private life and career, dispelling the innumerable lies, half-truths and rumors that have evolved over the years.
At the heart of Remember Elvis are over 200 interviews with many of Presley's most intimate associates, as well as some of the biggest names in the film and recording industries.
Some of the people interviewed are:
Richard Edward Arnold (known as Eddy Arnold) (born May 15, 1918 - May 8, 2008) was an American country music singer. Managed by Col. Tom Parker before he started working with Elvis Presley.
With 146 songs on the country charts -- including 28 number one hits -- Arnold ranks among the most popular country singers in U.S. history. Only George Jones had more individual hits on the country charts but, according to a formula derived by Joel Whitburn, Arnold is the all-time leader in an overall rankings for hits and their time on the charts.
George Barris born in Chicago during the 1920s. George is best-known for having designed several automobiles for Elvis Presley and the Batmobile. George Barris is commonly referred to as the King of the Customizers.
Steve Binder is an Emmy and Ace Award winner for his work as an American producer and director. He has achieved success in both television and film. He is arguably best known as director of Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special, and the Star Wars Holiday Special.
James Burton (born August 21, 1939 in Minden, Louisiana) is an American guitarist.
A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 2001 (his induction speech was given by longtime fan Keith Richards), Burton's pioneering contributions have also been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Critic Mark Demming writes that "Burton has a well-deserved reputation as one of the finest guitar pickers in either country or rock ... [Burton is] one of the best guitars players to ever touch a fretboard"
Since the 1950s, Burton has recorded and performed with an array of notable singers, including Dale Hawkins, Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, John Denver, Gram Parsons, Jerry Lee Lewis, Claude King and Elvis Costello.
Glen Travis Campbell (born April 22, 1936, Delight, Arkansas) is a Grammy Award, Dove Award winning, and two time nominated Golden Globe Award American country pop singer and guitarist and occasional actor. He is best known for a series of hits in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as for hosting a television variety show called The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on CBS television.
Campbell's hits include "Gentle On My Mind", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", "Southern Nights" and "Rhinestone Cowboy". Campbell made history by winning a Grammy in both country and pop categories in 1967: "Gentle On My Mind" snatched the country honors, and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" won in pop. He owns trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both the CMA and the ACM, and took the CMA's top honor as Entertainer of the Year.
Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark (born November 30, 1929) is an American television, radio personality, game show host and businessman; he served as chairman and CEO of Dick Clark Productions, which he has sold part of in recent years. He is best known for hosting long-running television shows such as American Bandstand, five versions of the Pyramid game show, and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.
Red Robinson (born March 30, 1937 in Comox, British Columbia) was one of the first Canadian disc jockeys to play Rock and Roll music, both in the Vancouver, British Columbia and Portland, Oregon markets.
While still in high school in 1954, Robinson started working as a disc jockey at the age of 16 at radio station CJOR. He was one of the first DJ's to play Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and other Rock and Roll artists on a regular basis in Canada. In 1957, he was the host of the Elvis Presley concert at Vancouver's Empire Stadium, and repeated the experience at the same venue with The Beatles in 1964
Kenneth Ray "Kenny" Rogers (born August 21, 1938, in Houston, Texas) is an American country music singer-songwriter, photographer, record producer, actor and entrepreneur.
He has been very successful, charting more than 70 hit singles across various music genres and topping the country and pop album charts for more than 420 individual weeks in the United States alone.
Two of his albums, The Gambler and Kenny, are featured in the About.com poll of "The 200 Most Influential Country Albums Ever". He was voted the "Favorite Singer of All-Time" in a 1986 joint poll by readers of both USA Today and People. He has received hundreds of awards for both his music and charity work. These include AMAs, Grammys, ACMs and CMAs, as well as a lifetime achievement award for a career spanning six decades in 2003.
Jerry Obern Scheff is an American bassist, perhaps best known for his work with Elvis Presley in the early 1970s as a member of his TCB Band and his work on L.A Woman The Doors final recording with Jim Morrison.
Jerry Schilling (born 6 February 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee) is a veteran music industry professional, best known for his association with Elvis Presley since 1954 and was a member of the Memphis Mafia). He also managed The Beach Boys briefly and Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley.
Ann Margret (born April 28, 1941) is a Swedish-born American actress, singer and dancer who starred in Viva Las Vegas with Elvis. She has won the Golden Globe Award five times, and has been nominated for the Academy Award, Emmy Award and Grammy.
Linda Diane Thompson (born May 23, 1950, in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American actress and songwriter who also won several beauty pageants, including the 1972 Miss Tennessee USA title.
In July 1972 she began a relationship with the recently separated Elvis Presley and immediately moved in with him at Graceland for roughly three and a half years.
Jerry Weintraub (born September 26, 1937) is an American film producer and former concert promoter for Elvis Presley
Steve Alan Wynn (born January 27, 1942 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American casino resort developer who is credited with spearheading the dramatic resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas, Nevada, Strip in the 1990s and had a deep connection with Elvis Presley. His companies refurbished or built some of the most currently widely recognized resorts in Las Vegas such as the Golden Nugget, The Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio, and Wynn.

All in all Remember Elvis is in my opinion the best Elvis biography on the market. It is very well put together and wonderfully presented.My hat is off to Daniel Lombardy and Joe Esposito for creating such a fantastic tribute to the biggest Entertainer in the history of the world. Remember Elvis is a gem in the truest sense and will delve into areas where most Elvis books only touch on.
