Carol Connors has lived her dream and she shares her remarkable success story in her wild ride memoir Elvis, Rocky & Me.
As an entertainer Carol has done it all with her singer/songwriter talents recognized with two Oscar, five Emmy, one Grammy and two Golden Globe nominations, along with a wall in her home proudly decorated with the gold and platinum records she’s received.
Carol is one of the female pioneers of music for film and television. She made her mark in music at age 16 when she recorded the hit song “To Know Him Is to Love Him.” The enormous success of that song was the start of a career that is still going strong. She has written music for Dionne Warwick and Billy Preston and has seen her songs covered by Mariah Carey and John Legend. Among Carol’s proudest accomplishments is her co-writing the Oscar-nominated theme “Gonna Fly Now” for the blockbuster film Rocky.
Carol’s personal life is every bit as fascinating as her show business career. While she never chose to marry, she’s dated such famous names as Elvis Presley, Robert Culp, and David Janssen. Today, she continues to lead an active and productive lifestyle with her dedicated charity work and taking time to enjoy even the simple pleasures.
Carol’s story is not only an entertaining listen, but stands as an inspiration to anyone hoping to reach and even exceed their own dreams.

This book will discuss the benefits and challenges of buying overseas property, including whether or not foreigners can legally own property, tax implications, exchange rates, currency restrictions, availability of medical services, cost of local travel, etc.
According to author Steve Bergsman, the next decade will produce multiple investment currents in real estate. This book will help the sharp investor find the right current and stay the course for a long, profitable ride. By separating the asset classes that will remain stable from those that will continue to lose value going forward, Bergsman offers an essential roadmap to the changing real estate market. As a result, savvy investors will be able to capitalize on opportunities created by the trillions of dollars in mortgage-backed investment vehicles that essentially became worthless for a moment in time in 2007.
