Reviews

Everyone else wanted to be Elvis--I wanted to be Scotty.--Keith Richards
Scotty was the rock, sort of like the pope is the rock of the church. Knowing Elvis and Scotty the way I do, I can see why Elvis depended on him.--Jerry Schilling
Scotty was there from before the beginning. I learned so much that I never knew . . . great insight to the early years. One of the best books on Elvis I ever read.--George Klein, Memphis radio and TV personality and host of The George Klein Show
