What You’ll Discover

Three things that should not be possible.

Every one of them is true. Every one is in the book. Every one is why fifty years of silence is finally breaking.

I.

The Voice

Paul first heard John sing from a church stage in Scottsdale. He had to concentrate just to tell John’s voice apart from the man himself.

II.

The Evidence

Personal memorabilia from “unknown sources.” One-of-a-kind Elvis artifacts. And the most sacred object of all, resting in John’s home: the Presley family Bible.

III.

The Pact

For over fifty years, Elvis’s inner circle kept a sworn vow of secrecy. One by one, they started leaking facts to Paul. This book is what they finally said.

Meet The Man

John Smith Presley

Musician. Father. The son who was never supposed to be named.

John has spent most of his life searching for the name he believes was always his. His voice doesn’t just sound like Elvis Presley. To those who have stood beside him on a stage, it simply is.

He owns artifacts that should not exist outside Graceland. He carries a last name he’s still fighting to prove. And after half a century of dead ends and leaked secrets, he’s finally ready to tell his story.

Inside The Book

What you’ll read about.

❦ ❦ ❦

01

How Paul met John in the most unlikely place of all: a Scottsdale church stage, and the thirty-minute song that changed both of their lives.

02

The Presley family Bible, and the quiet way it ended up in John’s possession.

03

The sworn vow of secrecy Elvis’s inner circle kept for more than fifty years, and the moment the first crack appeared.

04

The leads John followed for five and six months at a time, only to watch the trail go cold on the edge of proof.

05

Why Paul spent twenty-five years collecting this story, and why he felt a “subliminal duty” to put every piece of it in writing.

From The Author

Paul Reginald Graziosi

“I wrote this book with the assumption that John was the child of Elvis Presley.”

I met John on a church stage in Scottsdale. Within weeks, he wrote a full song in my presence in thirty minutes. Within months, I realized his talent might have ascended from the unchallenged greatness of his male parent.

What followed was twenty-five years of collecting pieces of a story that decades of sworn silences had kept buried. This book is what we found.
