Within a matter of days, Parker was sending out telegrams and letters to promoters and booking agents: 'We have a new boy that is absolutely going to be one of the biggest things in the business in a very short time. His name is ELVIS PRESLEY.' The close personal bond between Elvis and the Colonel is something that has never been fully portrayed before. It was a relationship founded on mutual admiration and support. From the outset, the Colonel defended Elvis fiercely and indefatigably against RCA executives, Elvis' own booking agents and movie moguls. But in their final years together, the story grew darker, as the Colonel found himself unable to protect Elvis from himself - or to control growing problems of his own. Featuring troves of previously unpublished correspondence from the Colonel's own archives, revelatory for both their insights and their emotional depth, The Colonel and the King provides a groundbreaking dual portrait of the relationship between the iconic artist and his legendary manager and a unique perspective on not one but two American originals. A tale of the birth of the modern-day superstar (an invention almost entirely of Parker's making) by the most acclaimed music writer of his generation, it presents these two misunderstood icons as they've never been seen before: with all of their brilliance, humour and flaws on full display. *60017$aParker, Tom Andrew$d1909-1997$0(NO-TrBIB)1755644440489$9nor$2bare$_51682900 *60017$aPresley, Elvis$d1935-1977$0(NO-TrBIB)90053849$2bare$_45336800 *655 7$aBiografiar$0https://id.nb.no/vocabulary/ntsf/36$9nno$2ntsf$_44249900 *655 7$aBiografier$0https://id.nb.no/vocabulary/ntsf/36$9nob$2ntsf$_44250000 *758 $aThe colonel and the king$iVerksid:$0(NO-OsBA)288b7415-21e5-46ff-a6e6-11b0d055cb95$2bibbi *8521#$h782.42166092$iPRE *8564#$aaja.bs.no$qimage/jpeg$uhttps://media.aja.bs.no/3b9ba11a-4a4d-4b75-9c81-9fd8b77fecfc/original.jpg$3Omslagsbilde *8564#$aaja.bs.no$qimage/jpeg$uhttps://media.aja.bs.no/3b9ba11a-4a4d-4b75-9c81-9fd8b77fecfc/thumbnail.jpg$3Miniatyrbilde ^
