Since the mid 1950's, the name Bill E. Burk (* 11 November 1932 - † 24 April 2008) was synonymous with
authoritative journalism about the life and career of Elvis Aaron Presley.
Bill was a native Memphian whose fascinating background is the stuff of
a "Boys Own World Annual":
- an international pilot with more than 9000 hours logged
- a standout athlete in three sports
- a retired lieutenant colonel from the Air National Guard who served in two wars - Korea and Vietnam
In addition, as a journalist, Bill ("007") has written countless articles
about his "friend", Elvis Aaron Presley, a friendship that stretched from the
1950s to Elvis' untimely death in August 1977.
Apart from his books about The King, Bill and his wife Connie were the
energy behind the quarterly magazine, "Elvis World", which ran for over 20 years.
Elvis World was renowned around the world for its honest
and accurate reporting about the King of Rock & Roll.
Bill also contributed to a large number of books on Elvis written by other authors.
A selection of these books is given in the reference section below.
