Imagine how much the world will be Happy if he still alive. Thank you for your Amazing collection

Thank you!

Elvis was probably the entertainer that help more people on daily day basis than any other artist, even more than those who think that are helping. Elvis helps caring, listening, giving suport, and of course with money and materials things too. No artist will ever come close of the king, besides that the man is perfect, he was a perfect human been, by giving he's all to all

[@ashleysadventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@fredricjulien8738]

Thank you, Ashley. If it weren't for you and your great videos and research, I would have never known about Gary Pepper and his family having such a close relationship with Elvis.

[@ashleysadventures]

Wow, I’m so glad these were helpful. Thank you!

[@gpt465]

Never heard that story before!I knew some about Gary, but not much. Elvis had a heart for people in need and he helped so many!Thanks for sharing this!

[@ashleysadventures]

He really did! Thanks for watching!

Gary Pepper a legend

[@brendalawrence6732]

Wow, loved seeing the video of Gary in his younger years. Love everything about Gary, he was such a cool guy and I love that he didn't let his disability hold him back. I so love Elvis tender heart, he always helped people and did all he could do. I don't know how these two men packed so much into their short lives, but they did and they did it with grace. I wish Mrs. Pepper didn't have her issues after the passing of her husband, but know how hard it is to lose one. It was so nice seeing photo's of Gary's parents at Graceland, and I love that Elvis hired Gary's dad. I didn't realize the brick gate was so "new", coming in 1970. For some reason, I just assumed it was there sooner than that, although I did know it wasn't original. As always Ashley, you did a great job in getting all these photo's and video's out to us, loved seeing these so much!

[@ashleysadventures]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this Gary video! He was so motivated and like you said, didn’t let his disability stop him. Thanks so much, Brenda!

[@nicolaswitschi1730]

Great Video as always:) Did you know that during the 1976 Memphis concert you can hear Elvis saying "Hello" to Gary right before starting with the band introduction?

[@ashleysadventures]

Yes! Isn’t that great? I pointed it out in another Gary video. Thanks for watching!

[@marisarezzara2716]

Love me some Gary stories! Thanks for another one, Ashley!

[@GertieMusic]

Hey Ashley, Was wondering if you could do a video on the history and whereabouts of the peacock jumpsuit. My mom and dad saw Elvis live in Louisville Kentucky 1974 and Elvis was wearing the peacock jumpsuit at this show. I was just born June 9th 1974 :) I noticed that Graceland does not own this jumpsuit and have always wondered where it was. No worries if you can't do a video. Thanks for all your awesome videos!

[@ashleysadventures]

Thank you for your support! Sorry, I don't accept video requests

[@GertieMusic]

@@ashleysadventures no worries❤️

[@ashleysadventures]

Thanks for understanding!

[@epgoldenage7049]

Gertie, the peacock sold at auction to unnamed individuals in 2008 ($300,000) and 2014 ($240,000). It’s surprising that something so iconic fell through the cracks. Perhaps, it was among the group of jumpsuits that Vernon gave to Jimmy Velvet to see what kind of market developed.

Your research is amazing. I can't imagine the time it must have taken to find certain photos & fan film footage. As my music teacher was fond of saying, "A round of applause!" 👏 I really appreciate that you've also taken the time to get to know & talk to people that were, in one way or another, in Elvis's circle. Stories like the ones you told here deserve to be told, because as you've pointed out, it really illustrates on a more personal level who Elvis really was. Sorry if this post got too wordy. Congratulations on 11k subscribers! 🎆🎉 Enjoy your weekend, Ashley! TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤

You should be able to do a FOI request for building permits and records for the security shack from the city. We got the records for the train station at neverland

[@tinydesigns4394]

Ok Mandela effect , but I swear that brick guard house is in various pictures in the 1950s . Particularly a pic were some guy is sitting on the fence and Elvis is on the other side of the gate with the fans . I went back to look for the pic and can’t find it ! Crazy !

[@ashleysadventures]

Haha that’s weird!

[@nathalieal1181]

Elvis a payé l'hospitalisation de Gary Pepper 400 $/mois J'ai lu que quand Elvis est décédé Vernon à tout arrêté je trouve ça vraiment.... Ne serait-ce pour la mémoire de son fils Elvis il aurai dû continuer

[@devinw5150]

How could Gary be 68 years old at the time of his passing in the guard shack in 1970 when he was born in 1931? He would’ve actually been 39.

[@ashleysadventures]

His dad had the same name and died in the guard shack. Thanks for watching
