Elvis Aaron Presley: Revelations from the Memphis Mafia

A monumental oral biography, Elvis Aaron Presley is the first book to capture Elvis Presley - the man and the phenomenon - in his full complexity. Elvis Aaron Presley is the product of more than five years of interviews with the three individuals who knew him best: Billy Smith - Elvis's first cousin and the person Elvis reputedly loved most after his own mother; the man who slept at the foot of Elvis's bed during his bouts of horrific nightmares; and, at the end, one of the few who continued to see the pop icon on a daily basis. Marty Lacker - the best man at Elvis's wedding and foreman of the famed "Memphis Mafia," the handpicked group of gatekeepers and confidants who formed Presley's entourage. Lamar Fike - decades-long member of the "Memphis Mafia"; touring crew member; and the man who accompanied Elvis to his army posting in Germany. Together, these three were with Elvis from his teens to his last day on earth, and the story they have to tell - most of it never before on the record - is as complete a psychological portrait of the pop icon as we're ever likely to get.

God Gave Me a Miracle to Share with You! by Billy Smith is a true story about his life as a member of the Armed Forces; as the husband to the love of his life, Janet; and as a messenger of Jesus Christ. In the book, Mr. Smith details the vivid stories of his life. His life has been spared multiple times, from a close call with a copperhead snake to a malfunctioning weapon. He believes he was spared for a higher purpose - to receive visions from the Lord and to spread the Lord's Word to the people of the world. Mr. Smith also enjoyed a rich life full of travel and wonder, with his beloved wife, Janet, at his side. Ultimately, Janet would lose her battle with cancer, but Mr. Smith continues to cherish her memory. This wonderful true story is dedicated to Janet Smith, and all the veterans of the United States Armed Forces, who continue to be the reason we live such free lives. About the Author Billy Smith was born February 12, 1936, in his family home as a winter storm was raging. He has been blessed with three visions from God during his life, one that came to him early in life, in 1942. Mr. Smith enlisted in the Army in 1955 and was promptly sent to New Jersey, then on to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. After that, he volunteered for a hardship tour in Iceland. After being discharged in 1957, Mr. Smith married his wife, Janet, in 1960. This book details Mr. Smith's life and his time being shaped and prepared for his life's purpose of being a messenger for the Lord.
