Description

Elvis Presley: Colonel Tom Parker

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’s success, though whether his influence was in the end a boon or a detriment remains a hotly debated topic. DS, signed “Colonel A. Parker,” one page, 8.5 x 13, August 31, 1956. An agreement related to the use of the songs “Love Me Tender,” “There’s a Leak in the Old Building,” and “Poor Boy” in a film tentatively titled The Reno Brothers (released as Love Me Tender). Light handling wear with a few creases and paperclip impression, and mild toning and wrinkling, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
