Description:	This book explores the musical, cultural, social, and historical significance of Elvis Presley as revealed in the opinions of others. The author discusses different aspects of Elvis' identity, taking his cue from the things that a diverse range of figures have said in appreciation of Elvis - major rock and soul stars, from Dylan to James Brown, folk poet Leonard Cohen, punk poet John Cooper Clarke, myriad opera singers, biologist Richard Dawkins, cultural theorist Camile Paglia and countless more. The quotes from others are organised according to distinct themes, each identifying a different aspect of Elvis - Elvis the singer, the dreamer, the influencer, the integrator, the innovator, the liberator, the opera singer with soul, the democratizer, the citizen, the actor, the seeker, the performer, the person, and the icon. Written by a lifelong Elvis fan, the book offers a lively and entertaining, and ultimately profound, appreciation of Elvis Presley. Source: book back cover.
