I Called Him Babe: Elvis Presley's Nurse Remembers (Twentieth-Century Reminiscence Series, Vol 1) Reviews: Great Book 2009-07-12 - This is one of the best books about Elvis since reading the book "Inside Graceland" by Nancy Rooks.
I would highly recommend this book to any Elvis fan or anyone that wants to read about the man that was a true "friend".
It is a book about 2 true "friends". It is such a good book that I could not put it down. More people should take lessons from these 2 ladies.
Thank you Mrs. Cocke for telling all of us Elvis fans the true story of Elvis!

An example of true friendship 2007-09-11 - Marian J Cocke was a true friend to Elvis Presley and it's evident in her book. She asked for nothing from him but his friendship. I received this book from my mother and read it the same day. I just couldn't put it down. I heard Marian speak at the 30th Anniversary Memorial service for Elvis that George Klein hosted at Memphis State University. I had heard of Marian and the fact that she was a private nurse to Elvis in later years. After hearing her speak so fondly of him and tell a couple of funny stories, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about her. My mother who is a life long Elvis fan looked through her expansive collection of books and found that she had a copy of Marian's book and gave it to me. What a great story that is certainly a must read for the true Elvis fan.
What a touching tribute 2007-07-21 - I read this book in about 4 hours straight through. I have talked to this lady and she is a wonderful person and has nothing but love for Elvis and his memory. She doesn't dig up dirt or scandal, she just remebers Elvis the way he should be remembered-Great! Buy this book if you are an Elvis fan!
A Great Book about Elvis 2007-07-13 - This book is NOT for the intellectuals out there, but it IS for folks who are interested in a beautiful story about 2 friends. It was refreshing to read this book and it touched my heart deeply. Mrs. Cocke has continued to honor her dear friend Elvis with her annual dinner during Elvis week in August and she is truly a sweet person. I would love to meet her someday! I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves Elvis and who is interested in his final years.
a very good one 2004-09-17 - I loved the book thought it was really good and an easy read but did think the nurse did a lot of bragging about the fact she was close to Elvis. but it was a good book.
