ISBN: 9798301311642Von Paul Belard kommt am 28.01.2025 das 310 Seiten starke Buch "Marion Keisker: The Woman Who First Recorded Elvis Presley" und dieses wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:

"The 309-page biography of Marion Keisker covers her early days in Radio broadcasting, working together with Sam Phillips, founding SUN Records and the Memphis Recording Service, recording Elvis Presley on his first acetate and everything she did after that.

Publicity stated: At the Jaycee ceremony in January 1971, honoring Elvis Presley as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation, Elvis saw Marion Keisker in the audience. As he approached with Priscilla, he said, “This is the woman I’ve been telling you about. She’s the one who made all this possible. Without her, I wouldn’t be here today.”

Marion was Sam Phillips’ assistant when he established the Memphis Recording Service, and later Sun Records. She is best remembered as the first person to record Elvis in July 1953, then encouraging Sam Phillips (numerous times) to record him "commercially", therefore playing a pivotal role in Elvis’ ascent towards the pinnacle of his career.

Throughout interviews given, Marion discloses the workings of Sun Records, the sessions and Elvis’ moods during those first days of his career. There is a trove of little known or unknown anecdotes many fans will delight in. This book is a fitting and well-deserved tribute to Marion."
