As the author Michael Freedland puts it in his introduction Everyone knows Elvis". But not the way his close friends employees & others who entered his life knew him. For this is their story told in their words. He interviews those who knew Elvis intimately from the now elderly woman who was at school with him & whose parents foreclosed on the shack they rented to Elvis' mother when his father was in jail to the maid who prepared his peanut butter sandwiches & hamburgers & watched him line up the girls he wanted to take to his bed. In between we meet the black man who remembered sneaking into a local cinema with his pal in defiance of most of the Deep South race laws members of the so-called ' Memphis Mafia' who went where he went laughed when he laughed & suffered when he suffered
- & usually received a brand new Cadillac for their troubles. There's also his doctor who denies giving him fatal doses of the drugs he collected along with the hamburgers. Writer & broadcaster Michael Freedland went all over the West Coast & Southland to talk to these people who shared Elvis' life telling the complex Elvis Presley story in a way more true to the real man than the usual collection of dates film & song titles."
