...bucks, much media attention and even some good reviews go to a 598-page biography of Elvis Presley that is like a game of mumblety-peg played on a corpse. REO Speedwagon has moved more than 6 million copies of its latest record, thereby making Hi InFidelity the second largest selling album in the history of CBS Records. Rolling Stone, a magazine that was once the most prominent and articulate forum for rock culture, divests itself of much of its music coverage and aims for a more general readership. Record companies have cut back on corporate extravagances and are making...
...Million Dollar Quartet (Sun) In December 1956, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash did a little casual singing in a Memphis studio. Perkins is hardly discernible; Cash can't really be heard; but Elvis and Jerry Lee go toe to toe on a little R&B and a lot of gospel. It's like going to chapel inside a Seeburg...

Webber and Rice have written a show merely to amuse and entertain, and they have succeeded...
...Memphis blues are over for Dr. George Nichopoulos, 54. As Elvis Presley's physician during the final eleven years of the singer's life, Nichopoulos had been charged with eleven counts of dispensing vast quantities of narcotics, sedatives and amphetamines to Presley and ten other patients. During the 16 days of testimony in Memphis, the prosecution said the physician had prescribed more than 12,000 doses of various drugs to Presley in the last 20 months of his life. But defense witnesses painted a picture of a doctor who took in patients other doctors had spurned, a "good...
