CENTER STREET PARTNERS WITH ORIGINAL IMPERIAL TO TELL THE “GOSPEL SIDE
OF ELVIS”
Center Street, a division of the Hachette Book Group,
will publish
The Gospel Side of Elvis by Joe Moscheo. The book is
scheduled for release in August of 2007 in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary
of Presley's death and will highlight why Gospel music was the heart and soul of
the “king of rock ‘n’ roll.”
Gospel music was a significant part of not
only who Elvis became as a man, but as an artist as well.
The Gospel Side of
Elvis will take a look at his roots and the role of gospel in his
foundational years, as well as the comfort, solace, and strength it offered him
in the years of his meteoric rise in popularity. It will provide a rarely
explored aspect of this American Idol and will reveal much about the Elvis so
many have yet to discover.
Joe Moscheo was an original member of the
Imperials, a gospel group who performed with Elvis in his Las Vegas shows and
produced the highly successful documentary
He Touched Me: The Gospel Music
of Elvis Presley, which has sold more than 350,000 copies.
