Sonny West was a bad ass dude I did see a small clip of him doing some karate ,man he did look powerful . Elvis put these guys Through hell man, he was like a big kid w/unlimited money that was out of control no way to stop until he finally did.

@hirdy6 didnt mean they had to write about all his mistakes and faults.

@gowestward1 But they were not working for 'a company', they were 'working' for a friend, a friend who had kept them very nicely since they were kids. If he hadn't, rest assured they would have left years earlier, they would have been fools not to. I agree they had to look after themselves but this was a pretty shitty way to do it. Not sure I would say they were educated by Elvis.

@elvis4ever1935 How can you make a call on a book and the authors without reading it? There were three by the way, along with a ghost writer, that ambulance chaser Dunleavy. Great to have passion for Elvis but sadly you can't whitewash everything about the man. He was human and made mistakes, tragically he made some dreadful lifestyle choices and they obviously contributed to his death at such a young age and what seemed a pretty sad existence in his later years.

I understand why Red, Sonny etc..are bitter & upset. Look at it this way, when you work for a company, let's say for 20 or so years and one day you're called into your Boss' office and he or she tells you're no longer needed; call it fired/laidoff whatever, you would be slightly pissed off. As with Elvis's aides, this is all they knew as some have known Elvis since High School. What else can they do? Again, they were educated by Elvis and knew nothing else. I understand the bias towards Elvis.

They were cowards.
Instead of giving in to Elvis, they could have helped him.
Real friends help friends when there is trouble.
As for writing this book, their excuse is bs.

Screw you Red and Sonny West! Those 2 should be ashamed by puting Elvis' personal thoughts and secrets about him. I will never read that book. Those 2 are horrible people.
R.I.P Elvis, we miss you.

Sonny looks like a cross between a 70's porn star and a serial killer in the video

dont bit the hand thats feeds you....DONT RAT ON YOUR FRIENDS
Elvis wasn't abusive. He had a temper and yelled and raged at times, but I never heard of him beating the crap out of somebody or actually pulling the trigger. Maybe that would have been abusive--maybe just self defense!

I agree to an extent because I think these guys have been degraded by Elvis fans over the years. They say they" betrayed" Elvis, but somebody should have spoken up about what was happening to Elvis sooner. Keeping quiet helped kill him Elvis didn't do it to himself though. He had become a MEDICAL addict by the work of a doctor and enablers. Elvis supposedly told his dad to tell them they would be hired back and give them $5,000 each, but his dad didn't do it.
