Elvis: How Great Thou Art

Lee Jackson published his the 212-page paperback 'Elvis: How Great Thou Art: An 'Immersive' Elvis Presley Biography

Description: This biography delves into the remarkable life of Elvis, exploring his family background, music career, films, and enduring legacy. 

More than just a musician, Elvis symbolized the rebellious spirit of a younger generation disillusioned with the rigid norms of the 1950s. In an era dominated by stars like Frank Sinatra and the early Beatles, Elvis broke the mould with his electrifying stage presence and unapologetic charisma, becoming an emblem of anti-establishment energy.

The author has transformed this biography into an interactive experience like never before. By integrating QR codes (to 3rd part public domain platforms) throughout the book, readers can instantly access videos and other multimedia content on their mobile devices. This innovative approach makes the biography not just informative but also engaging, immersive, and dynamic, bringing Elvis's story to life in a whole new way.

The book is endorsed by the former president of the British Elvis Presley fan club, Todd Slaughter. 

The fan biography is available from >>> Amazon (associate link).
