"In early 1955, Colonel Tom Parker heard that an unknown teenager from Memphis had just drawn a crowd of more than 800 people to a Texas schoolhouse and headed south to investigate. The ensuing bond between Elvis Presley and the Colonel proved impossible for observers to understand -- not during their lifetimes, and not in the decades since.
