Marshall Terrill, co-author with Sonny West's for the proposed new book,
"Still Taking Care of Business" says Sonny both defends and regrets his
involvement regarding, "Elvis, What Happened?"
The idea for the book came as a result of Sonny West wanting to tell his
story for the entire 16 years he was with Elvis, not just the last years when
Elvis was in the grips of his addiction to prescription medicine.
He defends his stance that he was one of a handful of people who challenged
Elvis to do something about his problem, and I think time has proven him
correctly. He regrets that the book was written in a sensationalistic style and
that his love for the man didn't come across as well as he would have liked.
That's the reason for the second book, which we have been working on since
2002.
Second, the book is a little more than halfway finished. As the author of eight books, only once have I sold a book project prior to actually writing the entire manuscript. That was even true in the case of the book I did with Rex and Elisabeth Mansfield called "Sergeant Presley" and a book I did called "Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel," which turned out to be a best-seller. That is also true of a book I recently finished on the life of basketball legend "Pistol" Pete Maravich. The book, which took me six years to write without a contract, will be published as well.
I have no doubt when we're finished "Still Taking Care of Business" that a major publisher will snap it up. That has simply been a trend in the publishing business for a long time and has become even more prevalent today.
I think once the book is finished everyone will find it not only refreshingly funny and poignant, but filled with great pictures, new anecdotes and a keen insight into Elvis. Best regards, Marshall Terrill
Sonny first saw Elvis at Humes
High and later met him at the Rainbow Rollerdome where he was introduced by Red
West, Sonny who had been working at the Ave Appliance Store in Memphis quit his
job and went to work for Elvis taking care of Elvis' vehicles and lived in a
converted apartment at Graceland.
