The Private Elvis Biography Paperback by May Mann from Pocket Books 1977

The truth behind the headlines, the rumors, the gossip!

May Mann - the first reporter ever authorized to interview the phenomenal Elvis - opens the contents of her most personal diaries to share her knowledge of an American legend. 

She's talked with just about everyone who's ever known him, including the Beatles, his ex-wife, and Colonel Tom Parker. 

Here's the man behind the legend, from his boyhood and first guitar to August 1977 and his tragic early death.

"Elvis was and remained a working-class hero, a man who arose from obscurity and transformed American popular art in answer to his own needs - and who may have been destroyed by the isolation that being an American celebrity sometimes entails."
