Elvis: My Best Man: Radio Days, Rock ‘n’ Roll Nights, and My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley
When George Klein was an eighth grader at Humes High, he couldn’t have known how important the new kid with the guitar—the boy named Elvis—would later become in his life. But from the first time GK (as he was nicknamed by Elvis) heard this kid sing, he knew that Elvis Presley was someone extraordinary. During Elvis’s rise to fame and throughout the wild swirl of his remarkable life, Klein was a steady presence and one of Elvis’s closest and most loyal friends until his untimely death in 1977.

best friend,
This, by far, is the best book I have read on Elvis. George Klein reveals a softer and more generous side of Elvis than other books. He emphasises Elvis was just a mere mortal human being and made mistakes just like everyone else has in their lifetime. I believe Elvis spent his life searching for the answer “of why the Lord picked him” to be such a superstar. He never forgot his family, where he came from and he truly had to be shocked to see how far he came. His daughter, Lisa Marie, can be very proud of her Father and forget the horrible stories out there about him. He truly was a very remarkable human being and there will never be anyone even close to what Elvis was to this world. Because of him, many people have been fortunate to have enjoyed many hours of pleasure from that beautiful voice of his. He may not have liked the title King, but he was the King when it came to his music and always will be.

Reading this book really makes me wished I could have met Elvis, he seemed like a genuinely good person to be around. I highly recommend this book to any fan of Elvis or of Rock n Roll in general.
