Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley, in his remarkable career, only toured outside the United States once and that was in 1957. On two separate tours, he performed concerts in three Canadian cities: Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver. Notably, the Elvis concert in Vancouver at Empire Stadium on August 31, 1957, would be the final time the King performed in Canada. Over six decades have passed since those unforgettable concerts and fans (young and old) still remember when the King rocked Canada! The book contains interviews with fans and media members who attended Elvis' Canadian concerts; some had the opportunity to meet Elvis backstage. In addition, there are rare photos taken of Elvis in Vancouver, as well as photos of Elvis taken by fans who met the King in the 1960s. Also, there are insightful comments and reflections about Elvis: Canadian TV personality, Elaine "Lainey" Lui; Canadian music manager, Bruce Allen; legendary Vancouver disc jockey, Red Robinson (emcee of the King's 1957 Vancouver concert) and more. This is a book not only for Elvis fans, but fans of rock 'n' roll music and pop culture history. Long live the King!
