Elvis passed away when I was only 7, but I have recently been watching all of his movies, concerts, documentaries, interviews, etc. and I am so hooked. I see why he was so special. Such a beautiful and unique person, and such an interesting life in those 42 years. For someone to make a person cry 42 years after they have passed, you know they are very special. He has now been gone for as long as he lived, yet still so alive in everyone's memories. I love hearing your stories - thank you for sharing and keeping the memories going! Graceland is my next stop!! :)

I’ve heard several stories about Elvis directing traffic especially in California. The lady Sandi tells stories about going places with Elvis and the guys and they would happen on a wreck. Or a stop light out and Elvis would get out of a limo and direct traffic till the cops got there. When she said they went places with Elvis she meant they’d follow him to where they were going like he would invite them to go to rehearsals with them. Sandi is one Charlie dated for a while.

Memphis mafia kid - I think you guys see the genuine reactions you are getting from people and seeing how you are touching their hearts. One thing I think you guys should do differently though is responding to people's comments. I know you can't respond to everyone but once in awhile responding will make people feel further connected to you guys. In another video you folks said you hadn't seen Lisa in ages, why is that? I can tell in your video's you are being very careful so as to not insult anyone, specifically Lisa or Priscilla, which is a good idea I guess.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this and all others videos. Billy & Joe Smith are the classiest, most beloved, etc. people associated with the Memphis Mafia. I say this due to the massive amount of emails, questions, etc. and in face to face meetings I have had these six decades now. I highly recommend your KZfaq, and all other, endeavors. The Memphis Mafia kid (I'm sorry I don't know your first time) has caught the attention of others and I hope viewership increases daily. Once my website & forum get transferred, and I have time due to my health battles with cancer - complications - Parkinson's - etc, providing you give me permission I would like to add your KZfaq channel. Please note that we have only allowed 7 other sites to be recommended and we would consider it an honor. I have, nor will, ever monetize anything related to Elvis. I have great respect and appreciation for BIlly and Jo Smith. I have offered any photographs I have, including those of BIlly and/or Jo with Elvis, to you all and as long as I am breathing that offer stands (note: I am on a specific social media account (hint the initials are FB) every so often and I can be sent a message directly. Your videos are informative and enjoyable and I learn so much after watching every video. Please keep up the great work(s). Take care and may God bless you one... and all.

I know it's been a year since this video but this is something I'd too like to hear more about Dee Stanley , Because Elvis ex girlfriend Anita Wood stated Elvis didn't care for her didn't attend their wedding ,The Memphis Mafia spoke about Elvis not liking this woman Billy Smith was a part of that interview her son Ricky stated in an interview that Elvis was his mom's first choice but she ended up with Vernon this was also stated by his ex girlfriend who said Elvis told her this same thing , Dee Stanley wrote a book alleging the most vicious and horrible thing anyone can say about another, She stated Elvis and his mom had an incest relationship with each other she stated this from her mouth on Geraldo Revera show back in the day and stated it was told to her by a housekeeper and too Vernon and Vernon's mom , This book was written after Elvis, Gladys, Vernon and Vernon's mom had passed on no one left to defend themselves against this horrible allegation I would love to hear the Smith family address this because this is to vicious for the love so many people had for Elvis his mom, Dad and grandmother more family and friends should have had something to say ,I know it was a function that was put on in Elvis name by Lisa and Priscilla Dee spoke to Priscilla and she never acknowledge her researching more I understood why. This is not gossip these was words coming directly from Dee Stanley's mouth ,Geraldo did not like it. It can be found on KZfaq. Be safe.

@ Job Spagnolo, If you Google Geraldo Revera show taped on February 14,1992 titled the king deep dark secrets you can listen to Dee Presley yourself ,this woman was never cared for by Elvis he tolerated her for the love he had for his dad , but this woman was left bitter and scorn , Vernon Presley left her for a younger woman 4 years before Elvis death sending her back to the first home Elvis purchased for his dad and he continue to live with his new girlfriend and young children in the home that was adjacent to the back of Graceland Leaving her broke Vernon divorced Dee a couple of months after Elvis death two years before his own death this interview will sicken you listening to a woman tell this humongous lie on five people that was no longer here to defend themselves all for money even her sons stood against her for this I welcome you to listen to the entire interview, be safe.
