(2) YA Hampton starts by describing his own memories of hearing Elvis for the first time. He then serves up a wealth of information on Presley's childhood, music, army stint, movie career, and love life (though, through no fault of his own, Hampton can't explain some of Elvis's bizarre obsessions). This thoughtful portrait of the rock-and-roll king is never oversimplified. Bib., ind.
