In August 2007, Alanna Nash interviewed a number of Elvis' female co-stars, family members, and friends for a Ladies Home Journal article titled 'The Women Who Loved Elvis'. Now she's turning the idea into a 656 page book for It books, to be published in time for Elvis' 75th birthday in January 2010.
Alanna Nash reports the book will be the first comprehensive look at Elvis purely from the female prospective. 'For all his maleness, Elvis was a very woman-centered man, because of his closeness with his mother', she says. 'It was women he could really talk with, and from whom he drew much of his strength. The book will look at a number of his relationships, both platonic and romantic. And part of it will consider how his status as one of the greatest sex symbols of the 20th century informed his stage act and his interactions with the opposite sex'.

Lyrics: The clock by the bed is ticking too loud in the quiet night I lie in the darkness thinking I must go before it's light Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay I'll leave 'cause I can't stand to see you hurt this way Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Though I knew the time was coming and our love would end somehow I just couldn't bear to tell you exactly just when or how I know we can't go on, that it was wrong to start But if you wake up crying now, you know you'll break my heart Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Ohhhh, Sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
Info:Elvis clearly in form in this picture! Hes enjoying the company of Billy Ward. As we all know Elvis was a great admirer of Billy Ward and his Dominoes. During the Million Dollar Quartet Session on December 4th 1956, Elvis mentions him and his group. He saw them in Las Vegas performing and was telling how much better their version of Dont Be Cruel was than his. Elvis said; I heard this guy in Las Vegas (Billy Ward and his Dominoes). There's a guy out there who's doin' a take-off of me, Don't Be Cruel. He tried so hard, till he got much better, boy, much better than that record of mine. Elvis didnt know his name but the leadsinger at the time was Jackie Wilson!
Written by Bob Hilliard and Burt Bacharach, this song was recorded by Chuck Jackson in 1962, the record reaching #23 on Billboard'sHot100Chart and #2 on the RhythmandBluesChart. His version was subtitled, "MyWildBeautifulBird." Percy Sledge had a moderate hit with the song in 1969, but the biggest version has been Ronnie Milsap's 1982 release which topped the CountryChart and reached #14 on the Hot100 Chart.
Elvis recorded it on February 21,1969, at American Sound Studios. His single release that spring failed to chart.
LYRICS
Any day now I will hear you say Goodbye my love You'll be on your way Then my wild beautiful bird You will have flown Any day now Ill be all alone Oh, oh, oh
Any day now, when your restless eyes Meet someone new To my sad surprise Then the blue shadow will fall all over town Any day now Love will let me down Oh, oh, oh
I know I shouldn't want to keep you If you don't want to stay, yeah Until you've gone forever I'll be holding on for dear life Holding you this way Begging you to stay
Any day now When the clock strikes go You'll call it off Then my tears will flow Then the blue shadow will fall all over town Any day now Love will let me down Oh, oh, oh
Oh, any day now Oh, oh, oh Oh, any day now Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Rhonda Williams pictured with the necklace Elvis gave her at a concert in 1974 on display at King's Ransom Museum's Elvis Presley exhibit at the Imperial Palace.
During a night rife with oddities, selecting the weirdest moment was a challenge. But it had to be at The Kings Ransom exhibit at Imperial Palace, a new-to-Vegas display of Elvis Presley memorabilia, ranging from the mod, blue jacket he wore in Spinout to the mod, blue bottle of Mylanta plucked from one of his medication-laden medicine cabinets. I cut a corner to take a look at one of the more fascinating displays, a collection of framed photos of Elvis meeting President Nixon in December 1970.
You get lost in these photos as you observe a clearly confused, glazed-over, glassy-eyed, acutely paranoid hostage of his own success.
But Elvis, conversely, looks relatively OK.
As any Elvis fan (or Nixon fan, for that matter) knows, Elvis requested the legendary visit so he could gain status as a federal agent at-large for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Buffeted by fistfuls of prescription pills each day, Presley actually sought Nixons support in his fight against drug abuse (see the National Archives account here.) A series of photos chronicles the famous session that took place in Nixons Oval Office, and as I peered through the glass, the person next to me said, Pretty ironic, huh?
Oh yeah, I said, turning to the person making the comment, who happened to be Linda Thompson. Shes Elvis beauty queen ex-girlfriend (and also ex-wife of Bruce Jenner and David Foster and mother of Brody Jenner), still gorgeous, and she was on hand for the VIP/media opening of the attraction. The display space is set just about next to the Imperial Theater, and you could even faintly hear the boys from Human Nature singing You Keep Me Hangin On and other Motown favorites during last nights tour. Bumping into a Memphis Mafia member or former confidant of the King was not too uncommon during this event. Also adding some vintage Elvis-dom to the exhibit space were Memphis Mafia insiders and longtime Presley friends Joe Esposito, Sonny West and Jimmy Velvet. Even Pete Big Elvis Vallee turned out, as did Rhonda Williams, who until this year owned a cross Elvis presented to her at the stage during a show in 1974. She sold the piece to The Kings Ransom proprietors Bud Glass and Russ Howe for the display.
Author of the authoritative Remember Elvis and Elvis Straight Up, Esposito is no longer a host at Wynn Las Vegas, but says he is traveling the world making appearances and talking about the days of Elvis. West is, too, a noteworthy Presley scribe, author of Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business.
Arranged by longtime Elvis historians Glass and Howe, The Kings Ransom showcases several items that once belonged to Presley or were used in Presley films or personal appearances. The tour runs at least through April and costs $10 a pop. Up for viewing are Presleys gold-plated .38 pistol encased in glass (which, sadly, is not the firearm he used to famously blow away a TV during an appearance by Robert Goulet on The Mike Douglas Show), a few of his karate gis, newspaper accounts of such memorable moments as the night he karate-chopped a drunken fan off the stage at the L.V. Hilton, and his red-velvet bedroom set from Graceland. Its not an overwhelming exhibit, not nearly as extensive as the attraction that filled the since-shuttered Elvis-A-Rama on Industrial Road for a few years. But it does provide an effective account of Presleys life and career.
As West noted during the walk-around, When Elvis touched you, he just grabbed you, and he never let you go.
