Elvis Presley had just exploded on the American scene and was filming his first movie, Love Me Tender, when he introduced himself to Nick Adams on the back-lot of 20th Century Fox. Nick was a struggling actor, part of the Rebel Without A Cause gang and showed Elvis the town, introducing him to Natalie Wood. Nick was infamous for writing about his famous friends and now this posthumous publication details his close friendship and whirlwind eight days in Memphis with Elvis, during the famous singer’s Tupelo Homecoming the summer of 56.
This first person account has been edited and published by Nick Adams’ daughter, Allyson Adams, after she discovered the typewritten pages in a box of her father’s memorabilia. This adoring portrait of Elvis is the last glimpse of innocence before the end of an era. Includes 30 classic photos, essay by best-selling author Elaine Dundy, foreword and epilogue by Allyson Adams.
"I would rather live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb. And that was the first thing that came to my mind when I sat down to write this story about Elvis.” Nick Adams, 1956
