"Finally, a good book on the death of Elvis Presley. . . . Unlike the scores of other volumes . . .
When Elvis Died is serious and well written; it will be of unfailing interest to both Elvis fans and to anyone intrigued by the mechanics of popular culture."--Greil Marcus,
Rolling Stone"Now and then a memorial volume breaks out of mindlessness and invites serious response.
When Elvis Died is such a work, and I found much of it provocative. . . . I'm struck by the book's direct and indirect penetration of the inner life of the mass audience--the expressible beliefs and turbulent passions shaping pop-cultural response."--Benjamin DeMott,
Atlantic Monthly"
When Elvis Died, by Neal and Janice Gregory, is the sort of book that should be written after every great media event. It is an exhaustive, entertaining, and painfully instructive look at how the news business reacted to Elvis Presley's death. . . . It should be required reading for all of us who care about our profession and how well it performs under pressure."--James Strodes,
