Re: The Life And Death Of Gladys Presley
Thank you once again!!
Although wanting for accuracy, it's a real treasure.
I wonder if that little boy at Graceland is non-fiction, and if so, can he be found? Alberta's grandson, perhaps?

Re: The Life And Death Of Gladys Presley
Thank you for your latest upload.
IIRC, Parsons was one of the critics who absolutely vilified Presley in the press in 1956-57. Guess something changed in 1958.
The pensive image, apparently from "King Creole" and twice used in the piece, is wonderful:
On the other hand, the prose is horrendous, taking basic facts and turning Gladys Presley's passing into a soap opera. The closing paragraph is a particular gem:

And maybe the old woman's voice had come back to Gladys Presley in that last moment and, with it, the voices of a chorus of watching angels as together they all shouted a tremendous and joyous and final Amen.
