Elvis And Lennon: The Untold Story of Their Deadly Feud by Hutchins Chris
No one laughed more loudly than the King himself when the Beatles's manager Brian Epstein boasted, My boys are going to be bigger than Elvis Presley. It was the early 1960s, and Presley, a living legend, appeared unassailable. Yet, in 1964, John, Paul, George and Ringo suddenly topped the American charts - and Beatlemania rolled the King in the greatest rock coup of all time. Chris Hutchins, then a music journalist in his early 20s, was at the eye of the hurricane as the Beatles swept all before them. As America turned on to the Beatles in a big way during their 1965 tour, Chris Hutchins used his extensive network of connections to mastermind the one-and-only rendezvous between the King and the pretenders who were seizing the throne. With co-author Peter Thompson, Hutchins draws on his own sources and unpublished personal archives, as well as FBI files and dossiers from the District Attorney's investigators in Memphis, to probe into the story in which the lives of Elvis Presley and the Beatles became dramatically entwined. They reveal the passions and the powerplay, the corruption and the conspiracies, the vendettas and the vanity behind pop culture's greatest phenomena. The hardback edition of this book was entitled, Elvis Meets The Beatles. Chris Hutchins and Peter Thompson are the authors of of Sarah's Story and Diana's Nightmare: The Family.| SKU | Unavailable |
