Me and a Guy Named Elvis: My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis

Me and a Guy Named Elvis: My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley
- Memphis Mafia
Commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of Elvisâ€™s death, an intimate memoir of a friendship with the greatest artist in rock and roll history, taking you from late-night parties at Graceland to the bright lights of Hollywood sets and glittering stages of Vegas.

On a lazy Sunday in 1954, twelve-year-old Jerry Schilling wandered into a Memphis touch football game, only to discover that his team was quarterbacked by a nineteen-year-old Elvis Presley, the local teenager whose first record, "Thatâ€™s All Right," had just received its first play on Memphis radio. The two became fast friends, even as Elvis turned into the worldâ€™s biggest star. In 1964, Elvis invited Jerry to work for him as part of his "Memphis Mafia," and Jerry soon found himself living with Elvis full-time in a Bel Air mansion and, later, in his own room at Graceland. Over the next thirteen years Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacitiesâ€”from bodyguard to photo double to co-executive producer on a karate film.

Me and a Guy Named Elvis looks at Presley from a friendâ€™s perspective, offering readers the man rather than the icon. Spanning Elvisâ€™s meteoric rise to those later troubled years, Jerryâ€™s story offers never-before-told stories about life inside Elvisâ€™s inner circle, and an insightful, emotional recounting of the great times, hard times, and unique times he and Elvis shared. Schillingâ€™s vivid memories will be priceless to Elvisâ€™s millions of fans, and his compelling life story will be fascinating to an even wider audience.
