"Elvis Aaron Presley – ein Name, der für die Glamourwelt des Showbusiness wie gemacht scheint. Star-Dirigent Leonard Bernstein bezeichnete Elvis Presley als „wohl die größte kulturelle Kraft des 20. Jahrhunderts.“
„Elvis – The Pelvis“, „King of Rock´n´Roll” – das sind die Namen, die wir kennen und die seit Jahrzehnten ein bestimmtes Bild vermitteln. Doch was oder wer steckt tatsächlich hinter diesem Bild? Gibt es eigentlich noch Unbekanntes über den „King“?
Maria Hesterberg, 1. Vorsitzende der „Elvis Presley Gesellschaft“ e.V. (EPG), verrät in diesem Buch, welches besondere Geschenk Elvis Presley von Präsident Nixon erhielt und welche caritativen Projekte er unterstütze. Wussten Sie, dass Elvis Karate-Fan und ein äußerst erfolgreicher Kampfsportler war? Und wieso wird Elvis in Deutschland eigentlich so gern in Uniform abgebildet? Das und noch viel mehr erfahren Sie hier – lassen Sie sich überraschen!"

"Elvis liked expensive things: cars, motorcycles, clothes, and jewelry. His jewels befitted a king. He wore sumptuous pendants hung on heavy gold chains; huge lavish rings dripping of rubies, sapphires, lapis lazuli, and emeralds; bracelets of gold and precious gems. Like Elvis himself, they were at times dazzlingly tasteful and things of beauty, and at other times flashy, ostentatious, in your face.
The singer Robert Goulet described Elvis’ penchant for generosity: “I remember once we sat together backstage for two hours. And he was a charming, delightful man. And at one point I said, “That’s a beautiful ring you have there.” He said, “You like it?” I said, “It’s beautiful!” He took it off his hand and put it on mine. He gave me his ring”.
Elvis’ entourage had this line down pat: “Elvis, this ring is beautiful.” And Elvis would remove it from his finger and give it away. Was he taken advantage of? The answer is yes, as quite a few of the rings that show up at auctions were gifted to members of his coterie.
Elvis’ penchant to give things away is sometimes difficult to understand, even taking in the fact that Elvis was not materialistic. When he was in Las Vegas, he saw a doctor whose name was Elias Ghanem. Elvis lavished upon him a $32,000 Stutz car, a Mercedes, watches, rings, including the one he wore in Aloha from Hawaii.
A list of the gifts to this individual comes to a staggering total more than fifty items. The value of the item was of no concern to Elvis. The horseshoe ring he wore in 'Aloha from Hawaii' eventually sold at auction in 2017 for $204,800."
