ELVIS BOOKS 

'ELVIS: HE TOUCHED ME'  
by Darwin Lamm


Every Elvis Presley fan will love this book. It is an essential history in anecdotes by some of the most influential players in music, celebrities, Memphis Mafia, and those who knew him best, sharing their stories about working and playing with Elvis. Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Paul McCartney, and others share their personal experiences with Elvis, and 'He Touched Me' is a collection of firsthand accounts from music greats like Carl Perkins and Frankie Avalon, detailing how their encounters with Elvis and his music had a lasting impact. Fans of Elvis Presley movies and Elvis Presley music alike will appreciate the intimacy and details of these anecdotes. Not just a collection of Elvis Presley facts, these stories deliver an intimate depth of experience. Taken from the exclusive audio footage of radio producer, Darwin Lamm, and his long-running radio show, 'The Elvis Hour', these short, fun, and occasionally intimate stories open the reader up for a privileged portrait of what it was like to work and play with Elvis Presley. An Elvis fan since his youth in the fifties, Darwin Lamm, found himself, after Presley’s passing in 1977, inspired and sought after to produce a series of radio shows for The Creative Radio Network, including the initial three-hour special called 'Elvis Remembered' and several other commemorative specials. The series was broadcast over radio stations across America and is the foundation for much of the material in the book 'He Touched Me' series, of which this is the first. The material shared in this book and future volumes represents the interviews in their entirety. This book is a must for any fan who feels they may have found all there is to read or experience about Elvis Presley. Mr. Lamm was the author and publisher of the officially-licensed magazine for 'Elvis Presley Enterprises' and is currently working on Volume 2; however, the name will be called 'Elvis Memories' and will be released January 2027, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Elvis's passing.
