Description

Dutch-born impresario (1909–1997), né Andreas Corneliius van Kuijk, who, as Elvis’ manager, maintained a Svengali-like grip on the singer’s career. His complete oversight was indisputably one of the driving forces behind Elvis’ success, though whether his influence was in the end a boon or a detriment remains a hotly debated topic. Carbon DS, one page, 8.5 x 13, August 31, 1956. A document assigning recording copyright for three songs, “Love Me Tender,” “There’s a Leak in the Old Building,” and “Poor Boy,” to 20th Century-Fox for use in the film The Reno Brothers [released as Love Me Tender, starring Elvis]. Signed in ink at the conclusion “Colonel A. [his middle initial] Parker.” Light wrinkling and handling wear, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
