Using more than one hundred photographs, presents the life and career of Elvis Presley, including his childhood, concerts, army time, movie career, and marriage to Lisa Marie.Slaughter, longtime president of the Elvis Presley Fan Club in Great Britain, offers yet another Elvis picture book. Progressing chronologically through the King''s career, it features some early classic photos along with many movie stills and a few obscure shots, including one of Slaughter himself with Elvis in the Seventies. The minimal text ably tells the story of the rise of the rock singer for the very few inhabitants on the planet who don''t already know. Though the author obviously knows a lot about and has great respect for his subject, he unfortunately (but understandably) adds little to the vast expanse of Presleyana already in print.

Siguiendo los pasos de estrellas como los Rolling Stone, The Who y Stevie Wonder, han sido unos totemicos cabezas de cartel que han estado a la altura de este festival al aire libre britanico que se celebra todos los años.Durante cuatro decadas han compuesto quebradizas sinfonias llenas de texturas, muchas veces cargadas de un lirismo provocador. Desde el comienzo, fueron unos musicos soñadores, ambiguos, audaces, pero entonces pocos detalles indicaban que llegarian a ser algo mas que un grupo de culto, como han demostrado.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERMany famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day and then ages out. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable.Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn't, he has learned that being an artist isn't about your specific output; it's about your relationship to the world.
