-- Dave Zimmer, author of Crosby, Stills & Nash: The Biography
"Elvis Presley was an icon of sex, stardom, and rock and roll, but
beneath the glitz and Las Vegas glamour brooded a sensitive soul,
deeply troubled by life's mysteries. Gary Tillery's highly readable biography shows
us another side of the King, as a seeker eager to grasp life's secret meanings, and
to explore a whole range of spiritual paths. Elvis may have left the building,
but as this book shows, his spirit carries on."-- Gary Lachman, former Blondie bassist and Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame inductee and popular religion writer
"Just as Elvis forged the roots of rock 'n' roll for The Beatles, Gary Tillery reveals in The Seeker King how Elvis was first also to chase for grace through spirituality. The journey towards self during Presley's life is told by Tillery with craft, insight, and compassion. An often heartbreaking tale of how celebrity really did make Elvis so lonely that he died, The Seeker King also proves that Presley's genuine goodness and faith will keep him alive forever."
