註釋Elvis Presley's popularity hardly ended with his death in August 1977. This book explores the cult following of loyal fans after his death that took on the tone of a religious movement. Disciples describe feeling Elvis' presence; others claim he never died and to have sighted him. Elvis 'relics' were a hot commodity and Graceland, his home, became a pilgrimage. A 'priesthood' of impersonators preach the gospel of Elvis; while others claim supernational events surrounding his birth and that he was 'chosen' by a higher power.
