Elvis: My Best Man - Radio Days, Rock 'n' Roll Nights & Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley | Music Memoir, Biography Book for Elvis Fans, Perfect for Music Lovers & History Buffs

Couldn't help but reliving the days with GK and The King. I definitely want to meet GK at Graceland and ask him a few questions about his life long experience as a Memphis Mafia member and right-hand man to Elvis.The book is definitely classy as the marketing quote from Priscilla says. GK is largely classy throughout. There was one specific part of the book where "someone" disrespected Elvis and GK said "No F U" to the offending personality. Other than that, the book was reasonably sanitized for public consumption and GK didn't mince words with phrases that indicated that perhaps there were a few times when a particular encounter was less remembrance of introductions and names.This is definitely a book about Elvis Presley as told from GK's memories. What we learn is that GK is a real, live human being who was an integral part of Graceland and the MM and all of the facets of EP that others could only wish. I honestly wanted to hear more of GK's story, but the title isn't GK, my life as a DJ and my best man, EP.I think that GK makes a great storyteller and gives us a lot of special insights to his years as one of Elvis' most trusted and respected RHM. Dating back to their earliest days of young adulthood and moving through until Elvis' horribly unfortunate and young death (I can't even imagine the pain GK suffered), GK was and is and always has been a life-long and true friend of Elvis'. His work today at Sirius/XM on the Elvis channel is clearly the DJ job that is and always was his since the technology was born.GK does tell it to us in a very classy manner. If you happen to reflect back on your own life at 20-something, there are probably a few things that you might say were not particularly classy. Imagine being the RHM of the world's biggest star EVER. You're going to have some good days and some bad days, for sure.I can't imagine anybody who misses Elvis more than GK. I know that there must be a few who miss him "equally" but definitely not more. My heart goes out to GK for his very personal loss of his best friend in the entire world and forever after. This is what the book says to me. GK is perhaps a bit more reserved in some places out of respect for the living and for Elvis' memory, but nobody hurt as much as he did on the day that Elvis departed and I feel it in his words. Others were very much pained, too. The entire nation mourned the loss of our greatest talent and showmanship entertainer to-date.Michael Jackson may have him "slightly" on the numbers game, but I think that we all know, being there first is and was the hardest role of all.GK is one of the few people alive today who was as tight with The King of Rock and Roll as ever could be.I often imagine a time when I meet GK for the first time. The words are simple and clear to me. "Hey GK." They are the same words that he often heard from Elvis and for which anybody else saying them is "not quite the same." GK if you're listening, the best of everything to you. I truly appreciate what you're doing on S/XM and nobody even comes close to the world's greatest job compared to your's. How truly awesome it must be to be a DJ (your life in a nutshell) at Graceland (your home with the King) and playing the best cuts of your Best Man's. You are truly blessed and, yes, you have made a significant point about the south and race relations and how Memphis was and is a place where race was just something that was obvious and not a problem or an occurrence.You are and the book is a top-class act and total performance of love, respect, honor and adoration of our fallen hero EAP. Through thick and thin, you were his friend and confidant. Thank you for putting to pen the most intimate moments of your life with our shared and most profound rock star, Elvis Presley...and, thank you for speaking up when you did and taking credit for what you did, too. You wouldn't be a RHM if you didn't.
