Peter Guralnick's widely cited 1994 biography of Elvis Presley's early life, published by Little, Brown and Company, covering his family's Assembly of God church attendance in Tupelo and Memphis as formative to his musical development. Named here as the standard biographical source for that background. Its primary text was not directly available for this entry, so it is cited generically rather than quoted from a page that was never read.

Tier two: a carefully researched, widely regarded standard biography, not a peer reviewed academic work.
