Music Mentor Books are to publish a book by the end of November titled "Elvis A musical Inventory 1939 - 1955". It is compiled by the French writer Richard Boussiron based on 20 years of work by the (now deceased) American Elvis fans Samuel Barnes and Graham Metson.
The information from the publishers website:
"An extraordinarily detailed listing of the King's earliest musical influences — songs he learned at school, hymns and spirituals he sang at church, numbers he performed on the radio, in clubs, at backstage jams, etc. The product of over 20 years' original research including interviews with a host of people who knew him including his teacher, church ministers, work colleagues and fellow musicians. And, for the first time anywhere, complete details of all the historic Sun sessions — taken directly from the personal files of Marion Keisker. Quite simply a "must have" for Elvis specialists and diehard fans."
