Description

Sean O’Neal (au). Delves into the murky truth about Col. Parker & his handling of Elvis. A consummate carnival huckster, Parker never gave anything away for free & took pride in conning the public. Born in Holland as Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk, he snuck into the U.S. aboard a cargo ship & reinvented himself. After backstabbing & back-room dealings to get Presley’s managerial contract, Parker plotted to push Elvis to the forefront of the music scene. Details all of Parker’s dirty dealings & greedy negotiations such as the contract signed at Elvis’s funeral which granted Parker & his associates approximately 75% of the income from Elvis merchandising.
