Looking For Colonel Parker Doc. 1/5 [NPS - Het uur van de wolf]

Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk was not even twenty years old when he left Holland for America as a stowaway. He had no education, no money and knowledge of English. Twenty-five years later, he was the celebrated and feared manager of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, and known to the world as Colonel Tom Parker.
Despite Parker's dubious life and despite the accusation that profited shamelessly from Elvis and took no steps to prevent his downfall, In LOOKING FOR COLONEL PARKER, Constant Meijers came to the conclusion, after a journey right across the United States, that the name Colonel Parker can rightly be mentioned in the same breath as that of the King of Rock'n Roll. The succes of the gifted singer Elvis is inextricably linked to the gifted salesman that Parker still was even after Elvis' death.
