He got his team together along with fans from all over the world, and I should mention without the great 'Ger Rjiff' none of this would have been possible. I had a source for photographs and I knew I could do the research and writing. Megan: Well, I had a concept and presented it to Henrik Knudsen of 'Elvis Unlimited'. PEP: What was your involvement with the book? It's cool! Pocketful of Rainbows.Frankfurt Special. Megan: 'G I' was Elvis' first movie after the Army, when people were so curious about 'who' or 'What' Elvis had become, and I think the movie was very successful because of that. PEP: The question might be asked, why even do a book on the movie G.I.Blues'? There are many other interesting facts which come forward for the first time in this book as well! It has great interviews from Bob Baker (the puppeteer) to Memphis Mafia Member Sonny West, to a rare press interview done with co-star Juliet Prowse, plus some things are brought up by Elvis' double Tom Creel who was the person they filmed for all the background scenes in Germany.Īlso there is a rare interview with Minnie Pearl when she and Tennessee Ernie Ford visited the set of 'G I.'īob Baker 's interview by the way is my favorite, as he talks about being on the set with Elvis and talks about some cool things about Martha Raye's father who worked the stage door. I really loved writing and researching it! It's non stop action! Megan Murphy: First of all 'Inside G I Blues' will be so much more than what people will expect, and trust me, it is FAR fromīoring. What can you tell us about the book 'Inside G.I.

PEP: You have written other things for 'Elvis Unlimited' in the past which I liked reading and you have an entustaitic approach to Elvis.
