Golden Boy Elvis 4

The Golden Boy magazine #3/2023 has been published, and it looks like another piece of art!

Description: Betty Harper has been a household name in the Elvis world as an illustrator and photographer for decades. We are all the more pleased to have her permission to present the pictures 'Lover Boy' (on the cover) and 'Fever" (on the back cover) in full resolution and beauty. Thank you, Betty!

We have a lot of main topics in this issue, so it is difficult to name just one cover topic. The FTD box 'How Great Thou Art' takes up most of the space and we even had to split it into two parts. We describe the masters in the first part, and bring you the complete outtake review in this issue. 

Roger Whittaker passed away on 13 September 2023 - a Last Farewell to him! Then we go back to 1958 with Anita Wood and Elvis: to Eddie Fadal's house in Waco, Texas.

'Authentic Elvis - The Style Of A King' is the second part of the detailed series about Elvis, the style icon. Well researched, well worth reading! And there have always been fakes of and with Elvis, but since this year they have been pushed as "AI" by all the media. We have thought about this in detail in our article. We asked ChatGPT to explain what "deep fakes" are all about.

We are accompanied to Las Vegas - more precisely to the 'August Season In Vegas - Hilton Hotel 1974. All the facts, all the background to the FTD Live Box: Meticulously compiled and supplemented with the most competent specialised information.

The songs from A to Z continues with the letter "D" and the songs "Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home", "Don't Leave Me Now" and "Don't Think Twice It's All Right".

And finally, 'Elvis On Vinyl' series, the 'Rillen Revue Remake' is dedicated to the single 47-8134: 'One Broken Heart For Sale' and 'They Remind Me Too Much Of You.
