Schmelvis: In Search of Elvis Presley

Previously Enjoyed Book: Very Good Condition

by Max Wallace (Author), Jonathan Goldstein (Author)

It's a little-known fact that Elvis Presley-the most Christian icon of American pop culture-was Jewish. This book provides a behind-the-scenes account of the authors' search, from Israel to Graceland, to find the true roots of the King. With the help of a Hasidic Jewish Elvis impersonator, Dan Hartel, who performs at senior citizens' homes under the stage name "Schmelvis," and an eccentric Orthodox rabbi named Reuben Poupko, the authors trace Elvis's Jewish roots all the way to Israel.
