An Elvis book I'm writing about a one week period in the Spring of '56 has garnered some welcome publicity courtesy of the Detroit News.
Elvis was wrapping up a long tour and the last legs when he stopped in Detroit for a one night, three concert gig at the fabulous Fox Theater. Tickets were $1.50 but the steep price didn't keep people away. The place was packed and Elvis would return six more times to the Motor City.
The book starts in Detroit, follows him to his next stop in Dayton, Ohio and wraps up with his week off at home in Memphis.
Inspired by a cache of never before published photos I stumbled on while researching my documentary, Elvis: Return to Tupelo, I wanted to explore this brief moment in time.
For a taste of what the book will be have a look at Susan Whitall's Detroit News article.
