5 things I learned about Elvis Presley from Linda Thompson’s new book
Although the Elvis Presley section in Linda Thompson’s new book only takes up about one-third of the pages (170 to be exact), this personal memoir is still a must-have for die-hard Elvis Presley fans.

Linda was there when Elvis shot the TV out when he was watching singer Robert Goulet on screen. Linda recounts “It’s not that Elvis didn’t like Robert Goulet or his singing. It was just his particular mood on this particular night; he was not in the mood to hear Goulet’s voice.”
