Over the next 13 years, Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacities, from bodyguard to photo double to co-executive producer on a karate film. But more than anything else, he was Elvis' close friend and confidant. Elvis trusted Jerry with protecting his life when he received death threats; he also asked Jerry to drive him and Priscilla to the hospital the day Lisa Marie was born and to accompany him during the famous "lost weekend", when he traveled to meet President Nixon at the White House.
Me and a Guy Named Elvis looks at Presley from a friend's perspective, offering readers the man rather than the icon, including insights into the creative frustrations that led to Elvis' abuse of prescription medication and his tragic death. Jerry offers never-before-told stories about life inside Elvis' inner circle and an emotional recounting of the great times, hard times, and unique times he and Elvis shared. These vivid memories will be priceless for Elvis' millions of fans, and the compelling story will fascinate an even wider audience.

I have read other elvis books including Elvis What Happened and Sonny West 2nd book etc. But, this read was such a great, refreshing perspective. One that had a balance and an independent approach. He has that perspective because, he knew when to walk away from Elvis and live on his own terms. Even though, growing up he was totally enamerged by Elvis. Funny how rhings work out.
I think Elvis noticed Jerry always had his best interest and respected his independent heart. That's why the remained loyal friends. And the best was the bonus material! ! I was left with such a greay feeling after listening to this book, im afraid to read another in fear of spoiling it! Jerry Schilling you are a very special person with a heart of GOLD!! Thank you!
