Synopsis
Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death, an intimate memoir of a friendship with the King of Rock n' Roll - from late-night parties at Graceland to the bright lights of Hollywood sets and glittering stages of Vegas., On a lazy Sunday in 1954, 12 year old Jerry Schilling wandered into a Memphis touch football game only to discover that his team was quarterbacked by a 19 year old Elvis Presley. The two became fast friends, and stayed that way. In 1964 Elvis invited Jerry to work for him as part of his Memphis Mafia', and soon Jerry was living with Elvis full-time. Over the next 13 years Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacities; this is his story of Elvis from a friend's perspective, offering never-before-told stories about life with Elvis - the great times and the hard times.', On a lazy Sunday in 1954, twelve-year-old Jerry Schilling wandered into a Memphis touch football game, only to discover that his team was quarterbacked by a nineteen-year-old Elvis Presley, the local teenager whose first record, "That's All Right," had just debuted on Memphis radio. The two became fast friends, even as Elvis turned into the world's biggest star. In 1964, Elvis invited Jerry to work for him as part of his "Memphis Mafia," and Jerry soon found himself living with Elvis full-time in a Bel Air mansion and, later, in his own room at Graceland. Over the next thirteen years Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacities -- from bodyguard to photo double to co-executive producer on a karate film. But more than anything else he was Elvis's close friend and confidant: Elvis trusted Jerry with protecting his life when he received death threats, he asked Jerry to drive him and Priscilla to the hospital the day Lisa Marie was born and to accompany him during the famous "lost weekend" when he traveled to meet President Nixon at the White House. Me and a Guy Named Elvis looks at Presley from a friend's perspective, offering readers the man rather than the icon -- including insights into the creative frustrations that lead to Elvis's abuse of prescription medicine and his tragic death. Jerry offers never-before-told stories about life inside Elvis's inner circle and an emotional recounting of the great times, hard times, and unique times he and Elvis shared. These vivid memories will be priceless to Elvis's millions of fans, and the compelling story will fascinate an even wider audience.

A loyal Friend
I decided to buy this book because I am a Elvis Fan. I was 12 years old when I saw Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, my older sister really really really loved Elvis so we went to the movies to see him, and listened to all his songs on the radio. I have read alot about Elvis but I wanted to read this book, the first reason was I liked the title. I thought Jerry sounded like a true loyal friend and his book proves me right. I would recommend this book for any Elvis fan and anyone that wants to learn about Elvis, the book is so touching and very fun to read, Jerry is a great author , you feel like he is talking to you over a cup of coffee, I plan on reading this book again, it is very enlighting.

Nice book!!
I have read some of it, but not all of it. Can't wait to start reading it again. It starts off when Elvis was a young man. Love that man, ever since I was ll years old and I am 75 now and I am still in love with in. A wonderful, kind, generous, handsome, talented man. He had it all, but just couldn't find the right love!!!
