I really do hope Joe's wife will get healthy and well again and overcome this terrible desease. As for the book I'm afraid there will be nothing to read we didn't know already. Always El.

I have met Joe and he is very nice & good in conversation. You can tell the man has smarts (perhaps why the other Mafia resented him a bit? ). Elvis did rely on him the most. I am very sorry to hear about his wife, but I wont be buying the book because I know already what will be in it from his other books. I have read several and they were basically the same. Sorry Joe, but good luck.

The fact that they have re-used the text to promote the movie Elvis on Tour does not promise that lots of effort has been put in the production of this book.

That can't possibly be the cover and won't be the cover, will it??

From what I am lead to believe, Joe is short of cash but before we start to accuse him of cashing in or greed, we should examine the reason why. Joe's wife Martha is suffering with cancer and the treatment to attempt to save her life has been very costly, hence the need for some cold hard cash.

I guess "Diamond Joe" is low on funds and needs another infusion of cold, hard cash to keep him going? I have Diamond Joe's DVD and I paid around $5.00 for it, if memory serves me correct, and although this book has a flashy cover I can't imagine what else this guy has to say that I haven't read or seen about. I'll pass Joe!

A Blu-Ray screen grab for a front cover. Classy. ;-)

30 years to assemble some of the facts? What about "Good Rockin' Tonight", "Remember Elvis", "Celebrate Elvis" & "Straight Up"? For those who don't know the last two they are extremely slim & non-essential paperbacks – not worth bothering about. Frankly, what else could Joe possibly have to left to say? I look forward to reading Marty Lacker's review of this latest offering!!
