WEBJun 26, 2014 · The same thing happens for many of the recording sessions and albums. One chapter goes off on a tangent and turns into a mini-biography of Colonel Tom Parker, important sure, but you're left wondering when you'll get back to Elvis. But all the same, worth a read, just know what you're getting into with that one. Overall, I would recommend:

WEBNov 13, 2022 · Tell me the best documentary/movie on Elvis, which shows his true life, his personality. The Luhrmann film is not a straight up bio. It's a retelling through the eyes of Parker.

What is the BEST Elvis compilation album? : r/Elvis - Reddit
