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.
