Notes

Book by Ken Sharp.

CDs Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen / Mastered by Lene Reidel.

Writing For The King showcases 142 interviews with songwriters whose work was recorded by Elvis Presley.

Learn the stories behind hundreds of Elvis classics in this definitive study of the songs that shook the world.

Handwritten lyrics, rare photographs, documents, and vintage memorabilia augment this compelling look at Elvis' extraordinary musical legacy.

The book also comes complete with two CDs - one comprising Elvis live recordings from Las Vegas and the other featuring songwriter demos, further illuminating the work of the most influential musical artist of all time.

'Yesterday / Hey Jude' (CD1, track 9) is incorrectly listed as being from the August 25 1969 dinner show in the book, but it's actually from the August 24 1969 midnight show.
