This is a tell all book that covers the span of Elvis' relationships both romantic and family oriented. It delves deep into the psychology of his relationship with his mother and the effects of losing his twin brother at birth. As an avid Elvis fan this was a must read. Most of the book was enjoyable although at times it gave an impression of Elvis not at his best. I do highly recommend it for any fan.
Regardless of how Ms. Nash accrued and assembled this material, she manages to collect all the madness, badness and sadness of the Elvis myth in one exhaustive and (let’s face it) embarrassingly tempting volume. Though she is sure to be excoriated for leaving the emperor unclothed, she also writes with admiration.
Decades after his death, Elvis Presley's extraordinary physical appeal, timeless music, and sexual charisma continue to captivate, titillate, and excite. Yet no book has solely explored his relationships with women and how they influenced his music and life--until now. Based largely on exclusive interviews with the many women who knew him in various roles--lover, sweetheart, friend, costar, and family member--this book explores Presley's love affairs with, among others, Ann-Margret, Linda Thompson, Sheila Ryan Caan, June Juanico, Joyce Bova, Barbara Leigh, Cybill Shepherd, and Priscilla Beaulieu, as well as his numerous friendships with women. The book also spotlights the women who dared to turn him down, as well as two women--Kay Wheeler and Tura Satana--who taught him dance moves he used onstage. Baby, Let's Play House presents Elvis as a charming but wounded Lothario who bedded scores of women but seemed unable to maintain a lasting romantic relationship.--From publisher description.

From his inability to commit to a relationship to surrounding himself with those that fueled his eventual destruction. Elvis is a textbook case in the struggles of super fame and celebrity. His early success seemed to be his happiest time especially with his mother still alive. But even then you could see what was to come. Though he died young it was almost merciful as the level of desperation he was at was truly sad. ( )
