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.
