Linda Thompson 'A Little Thing Called Life: From Elvis' Graceland to ...
Thompson, 66, divulges all the details on her nearly five-year romance with the late Elvis Presley in the 1970s and her marriages to Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner (then known as Bruce Jenner) and Grammy-winning record producer David Foster.
The nostalgia-inducing cover includes throwback photos of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Jenner and the exes' two sons with Caitlyn, Brandon and Brody Jenner.
Additionally, the book is chock-full of colorful stories about her songwriting, acting and modeling careers. The Memphis, Tennessee, native - and former Miss Tennessee Universe - is particularly known for voicing the Peanuts character Lucy on several Charlie Brown specials and cowriting (with David Foster) Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing', one of the several smash singles from the landmark soundtrack to 1992's The Bodyguard.
'My time on this planet has presented me with extraordinary circumstances, opportunities for growth and the gift of deep and abiding love. I feel a responsibility to life itself to share my experiences in the hope that others may find solace, inspiration, forgiveness, hope and a sense of connection in their own lives. That is the motivation for this memoir', Thompson exclusively tells.
'My personal life has always taken precedence over my professional one without a modicum of regret', she adds. 'The fact that we are all human and fallible does not take away anything from the potential for greatness - it simply connects us to each other. From my heart to yours, I share my story'.
Matt Harper, HarperCollins' executive editor of creative development, adds, 'Linda's story spans decades of entertainment history and presents a look inside some of the most enigmatic stars of our time in a way that few can. From her candid portrait of Elvis to how she dealt with Bruce Jenner's revelation, keeping the secret for nearly thirty years, this book will raise eyebrows and cause plenty of laughs, but more than anything, it will share the messy yet human side of what her time in the spotlight has been like'.
Filled with compelling and poignant stories and 16 pages of photographs, A Little Thing Called Life lovingly recounts Linda's incredible journey through the years, bringing unparalleled insight into three legendary figures.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
