Gregory "Guitar Greg" Gaskins & Elvis Presley

Gregory "Guitar Greg" Gaskins is featured in chapter 13 of "Elvis Presley Desert Storm The Shattering Of A Myth" by Darrin Lee. Lee interviews Guitar Greg about the years that he spent with Elvis and the Sweet Inspirations. He talks extensively about the myths of drug addiction and racism that has sometimes been attributed to Elvis. Greg talks about the interaction between Elvis and the band as well as the fact that he thought that Elvis was basically a shy person who loved the music but was overwhelmed by his popularity. He also explains that often at lavished parties Elvis would make his way through the greatest of celebrities to hang out with the band. I am not sure where you can purchase a copy of the book but check out the author on google which my lead you to a copy of the book.
