Elvis Presley: The FBI Files contains the actual original and declassified criminal investigation files related to rock and roll musican Elvis Presley. Although Elvis Presley was never the subject of an FBI investigation, the FBI maintained records filed under his name consisting of copies of letters from members of the public commenting on his performances, newspaper clippings, and documents reporting that Elvis Presley was the target of extortion attempts. This publication is being published and made available now for the first time in a paperback book edition for those interested in the history surrounding music legend Elvis Presley.

Elvis Presley was never accused of a crime, but for years the FBI kept a file on Presley because of the crimes that went on in the background of his world: death threats made against him; a major extortion attempt while he was in the Army in Germany; complaints about his public performances, a mention of a paternity suit; the theft by larceny of an executive jet which he owned and the alleged fraud surrounding a 1955 Corvette which he owned. These formerly Top Secret Files show dramatically how the FBI and other law enforcement agencies had to react to crimes in Presley's world.

The untold story of Elvis Presley's secret FBI files.

"663 pages of files copied from FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and archived on CD-ROM covering Elvis Presley. Although Elvis Presley was not personally the subject of an FBI investigation, the FBI maintains records filed under his name comprising over 600 pages. These records consist of copies of letters from members of the public commenting on the alleged immorality of his performances, concerns from law enforcement about Presley concerts, newspaper clippings, and documents reporting that Mr. Presley was the target of various extortion attempts. The files document a disturbed South African fan who pretended to be a dermatologist to give Presley treatments. After Presley ended the treatments, the impersonator harassed and blackmailed Presley. In one document J. Edgar Hover is information by an FBI agent that Presley is not the kind of person the director should met with, because of Presley's long hair and weird clothes. The files chronicles a plot to steal a Lockheed Jetstar private jet from Presley."--Http://www.paperlessarchives.com/elvis.html.

Elvis Aaron Presley was never actually investigated by the FBI. His name, though, appears in many different FBI files. The King was the target of many extortion attempts investigated by the Bureau and reactions to his music and stage presentation led concerned citizens to write the FBI suggesting that it investigate the star.
