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.
