The Untold Story Of Their Entangles Lives

No one laughed more loudly than the King himself when the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, boasted 'My boys are going to be bigger than Elvis Presley'. It was the early sixties, and Presley, a living legend, appeared unassailable. Yet, in 1964, John, Paul, George and Ringo suddenly topped the American charts - and Beatlemania rolled the King in the greatest rock coup of all time.

Chris Hutchins, then a music journalist in his early twenties,was at the eye of the hurricane as the Beatles swept all before them. No other writer grew as close to the Fab Four from Liverpool as they conquered the world.

As America turned on to the Beatles in a big way during their 1965 tour, Chris Hutchins used his extensive network of connections to mastermind the greatest rock summit meeting ever: a one-and-only rendezvous between the King and the pretenders who were seizing his throne.

With co-author Peter Thompson, Hutchins draws on his own exclusive sources and unpublished personal archives, as well as FBI files and explosive dossiers from the District Attorney's investigators in Memphis, to probe into the greatest rock story never told - one in which the lives of Elvis Presley and the Beatles became dramatically entwined. They reveal the passions and the powerplay, the corruption and the conspiracies, the vendettas and the vanity behind pop-culture's greatest phenomena.

No book has ever penetrated so deeply into the secret worlds of Elvis and the Beatles. This is the graphic, firsthand account of the ambition, lust and greed that drove the most gilded icons in pop history to the very peak of the mountain. And of the dark and dangerous forces that destroyed them.

Oh, das stimmt nicht ! Es gibt mindestens ein Foto das Elvis an der Tür zeigt wie er sich von den Jungs verabschiedet. Ausserdem soll es ein Buch über Elvis geben in dem noch drei kleine weitere Bilder des Besuches abgebildet sind.

Gruß,

Fascher.

Elvis / Beatles kann man als genauso bedeutend bezeichnen, wie Mozart/Beethoven.

Gibt es eigentlich ein Foto der Beatles, als sie 1963 die noch unbekannten Rolling Stones in ihrer schäbigen Wohnung besucht haben ? Bei diesem Besuch zeigte Lennon , wie er auf "Love Me Do" die Mundharmonika spielt und das freute Jagger.Ausserdem bat Brian Jones die Beatles um Autogramme.
Möglicherweise hat Bill Wyman unseren Macca gefragt, wie er bloss mit links Bass spielen kann, vielleicht haben auch Ringo und Charlie Watts ihre Schlagfertigkeit bewiesen ... Jedenfalls hätten bei diesem Besuch Fotos die Runde machen sollen, oder ?
