Acclaim for Being Elvis
"Ray Connolly's Being Elvis contains the authentic spontaneity and electricity that we all cherish as the essence of Elvis. Sprinkled not with mere rhinestones but with true gems of revelation, his new biography has finally found the sweet spot between the poles of lurid flash and scholarly abundance."
--Preston Lauterbach, author of The Chitlin' Circuit and Beale Street Dynasty
Ray Connolly on Elvis Presley's enduring legacy
"The tonality of his voice still connects, for some indefinable reason and in some subliminal sense, with millions of people."
"No one, other than he, knew what it was like to be the alchemist who could turn music into so much love and so much gold."
"The enigma that made up Elvis, the poor white boy from segregated Mississippi, who chose to sing the black music of his musical heroes, had been a highly combustible mix."
