The Godfather of Soul, Eddie Murphy, Dwayne Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Little Richard, Ji-Tu, Rufus Thomas, B.B. King, Howlin'' Wolf, Bruce Lee, and The Champ'' is available worldwide, folks! Text from the back cover (and interview) : "What is really nice about Elvis -- one of the things that I really admire about him -- is his loyalty to his friends. He has always been a down-to-earth person, you know, he is really very basic and truthful. Very truthful and very straightforward . . . His basic love was always music, though, and singing and records. He always did that. He played records or he was always playing his guitar or singing with others. (prior to U.S. Jaycees award) I think he would be the greatest American Ambassador at this time in our history. Elvis is an institution. He is a legend in his time. Priscilla is really intelligent and very sharp, you know. And she is very aware of him. And you can tell they have a nice relationship--they really dig each other. She is a sharp woman and not just a teenybopper who came along and married him. And Priscilla could, you know, she could probably become a movie star if she wanted to. She would have no problem, man. She is a beautiful woman." -- Johnny Rivers, The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, loyal friend of Elvis | fantastic vocalist & stage performer. Darrin Lee Memmer''s 266-page soft cover, "The King" Elvis, Johnny Rivers, & Presley Family Tradition of Respect for People of Color, is dedicated to Mr. John Lee Hooker and published in honor of the John H Ramistella Foundation For The Performing Arts (www.johnnyrivers.com). "I''d rather do something for a Black person ten times, than do something for a White one once." -- Elvis "The King," son of Vernon & Gladys Presley What does one of E.P.''s gospel music influences think about him? "The whole world changes, but Presley never does. And everybody loves him for being himself. I think he is The Greatest," declared Jake Hess, Gospel Music Legend and leader of The Statesman Quartet. Capturing the sentiments of people of color who reside in nations around the world -- as Muhammad Ali repeatedly did so effortlessly throughout his entire boxing and public life -- the 1960 Olympic gold medalist gave Elvis Presley the highest compliment he possibly could. "I realize how good I am in my profession. I wouldn''t praise nobody if he didn''t deserve it, because I am ''The Greatest of All Time'' in boxing. Just only in boxing. I said boxing. I''m telling you, not just ''you''. You are the Elvis fans, so naturally, you praise him [for] he is of European race as you are. But I am black. I am Islamic. I am 100% different from you and I will tell the world: Elvis is ''The Greatest of All Time''." CHUCK BERRY ("Poet Laureate of Rock ''n'' Roll," ''Roll Over Beethoven'', ''Johnny B. Goode'', ''Maybellene'' and ''School Days''): "Blacks didn''t have the airwaves Elvis had. He delivered what he obtained beautifully. Our music was and is not about race and the color of our skin. It''s about soul, love, and destiny. Describe Elvis Presley? He was the greatest there was and the greatest there ever will be." EDDIE MURPHY: "That''s my idol, Elvis Presley. If you went to my house, you''d see pictures all over of Elvis. He is just the greatest entertainer that ever lived. And I think it''s because he had such presence." Haters are gonna hate, but Muhammad Ali, Eddie Murphy, Chuck Berry and most of the truly respected icons in show business know one fact: Elvis Aaron Presley is the "King of Music." And nobody else is even a close second, ladies and gentlemen. "Tonight, I would like to pay tribute to the greatest entertainer of all time: Mr. Elvis Presley. (Audience applause) Elvis was Las Vegas. And if it wasn''t for him, so many performers like myself would probably never had had the chance to do what we do in this town. He really was The King." -- Ms. Celine Dion
