Return Of The King tells the story of a tumultuous period in the life
of Elvis Presley. By 1967, The King Of Rock 'n' Roll was all but
washed-up, thanks to a string of bland movie roles and lackluster
records. But within a year he had roused himself, loosened the creative
shackles imposed by his grasping manager, 'Colonel' Tom Parker, and
reconnected with the rock audience through a riveting TV special. There
followed a glorious but all too brief artistic flowering, in which he
made some of his most enduring records, including 'Suspicious Minds' and
'In The Ghetto.' This meticulously researched and elegantly written
book, based on a string of new interviews with colleagues, friends,
fans, and observers of The King, sheds new light on the events of
Elvis's great comeback.
