Frank has been a fan of Elvis Presley since he was a young pre-teen in the 1960s. One day after a trip to Graceland in 2018, he decided to research a question he has asked since he was a child growing up in the Bronx, NY.

 “Why was Elvis declared the KING of Rock and Roll?” 

The answer was not an easy one, especially since the term Rock and Roll has changed so much since Elvis first introduced America to the Rock and Roll sound – a mixture of Rhythm and Blues, Country, and Gospel. 

Rock and Roll music d went on to influence not only the music industry but our culture as well. After a meeting with George Klein (GK) in the Elvis Radio Studios – he was encouraged to complete the quest. This is the first of four books about Elvis and his effect on all of us - even to this day.

Frank lives with his wife Irene and is dedicated to telling the story of Elvis Presley the way it should be told, without salacious stories. Frank is a proud father and Pop-Pop, living in the Maryland area.
