Joe Esposito spent nearly two decades of his life with Elvis Presley. They first met in the Army in Germany, where they played football together and traveled to Paris for their holidays. When Elvis returned stateside to take up his busy life of concerts and Hollywood, he brought Esposito with him as his road manager.

Now, seventeen years after the death of the King, Elvis's closest confidant, best friend, and the unofficial don of the infamous Memphis Mafia has finally decided to set the record straight and tell it like it really was.

Universally recognized as the most reliable of Elvis's associates, Esposito has written a fond but honest and vivid memoir which recalls the wondrous and unique life of Elvis Presley: here are the good times and the bad, the concerts, the parties, the women - the real Elvis behind the image of the King of rock 'n' roll, told as only someone so close to him could.

In Good Rockin' Tonight, Esposito finally lays to rest many unanswered questions regarding Elvis's life: he details the long years in Hollywood and on the road, his dramatic comeback, and his troubled marriage to Priscilla; he recounts Elvis's tragic descent into drugs, and his relationships to Colonel Parker, his friends, and the women who loved and cared for him. Lastly, he tells the bitter story of how it all ended on August 16, 1977.
