Book description
Like millions of first-generation Rock & Roll teens, Sandi Haynes
Pichon, Author, Columnist & President of TCB ELVIS STYLE Fan Club in
Louisiana, was Raised on ELVIS! ELVIS! ELVIS! In between the time she
sat with him on his motorcycle at his Audubon Drive home until the day
she stood weeping by his coffin inside Graceland, Sandi was front row
and center for ELVIS concerts all over the country. As a pre-teen in
Memphis, she was there to witness a regional attraction which become a
national obsession; she devoted years of her adult life to being part of
his global audience, and has since dedicated herself to charities that
pay homage to his iconic memory. Through several chance meetings with
ELVIS himself and friendships with his inner circle Sandi was close
enough to feel for the wonderful man that was living in the shadow of
his awesome reputation. They exchanged gifts and kisses across the
footlights and she was invited to the parties after the shows and even
to Graceland Mansion. "I was so fortunate to have been able to have
such meaningful contact with the most beloved entertainer ever,"
Sandi relates. "I always knew that I was there for the millions who
wished they were, so this story belongs to all the fans, who have loved
him, turned their rooms into shrines to him, and stood by him for all
these years." So now enjoy this pictorial novella of a time and
place where a man changed the world one heart at a time. Like millions
