Hi Danielle, Jo & Billy - Please allow me to wish you all a very very Merry Christmas ! I hope Santa is good to you all ! The best Christmas present from you, in my opinion is doing these videos for us fans! I greatly appreciate them and can listen to the three of you talk 24/7 !!! I believe the Lucy De Barin book "Are You Lonesome Tonight" came out in the late 80's but don't take that as Gospel, as i'm not positive! I personally don't believe any of these people that claim stuff like that is true! Like Jo said in this video , Elvis couldn't keep a secret ! I'm the same way, if i hold on to something for more then 3 hours, its a miracle! I remember once as a child, my dad got a big job promotion at work and he was told he got it on Christmas Eve - and he told me about it at like 6 pm and he wanted me to make the announcement at Christmas Eve dinner, when we had all my aunts and uncles and cousins from both sides of the family there! Luckily i only had to hold it in till like 8:30-9pm LOL !!! I still remember that night like it happend yesterday, and it was probably 42-43 years ago ! maybe more! Anyway, I again wish you all a very Merrry Christmas !! Please keep me in your thoughts & prayers , as i've been pretty much laid up in bed for a week now with my back and a couple nerve roots that swelled and are causing intense pain - we are trying to get it knocked down so i can enjoy Christmas with my family, especially my niece!! God bless and Love ya all - Charlie

I agree with your granddaughter-he was embarrassed of most of his movies. One million each! Back then it was top pay. As an artist it was frustrating! I’ve read many books from those in his circle.

They gave much joy and happiness to his fans!! ❤They did!!

@ I’m sorry you are being harassed .I think the “fandom “ has made ppl lose their grip on reality , or understanding of how big a deal giving up your genetic makeup is . Tbh , I don’t know why these “children” don’t test against each other . If there is a random match between all of them , it can be determined if they have the same father . They wouldn’t lose out on not matching as they all could claim the other is a hoax , but if they did match they could use it to their advantage . I feel bad for the people who did believe Elvis was their father , and actually tested against a good source of dna, only to find out their mother was lying . (I mean , why wouldn’t you want to believe the woman who created you and raised you?) There have been a few in the past that believed , and made a hoopla on their journey , once it was determined false, all media was deleted about the subject out of respect and finally finding the truth that they were not related . (I’m talking about that guy in Kalamazoo Michigan , who actually looked like Vernon a little bit) Then there are the ones that continue on with conspiracy theories that the test was rigged that are just disrespectful . I kind of chuckle to myself thinking “how could Elvis have so many children , while being with “the guys” all the time and no one remembers any of these women ?” 😂 I’m not saying it couldn’t happen , but dang , the woman all these ppl are asking for is private herself , she asked you herself, you declined, she was respectful and let it go , but complete strangers seem to think it’s ok to harass you in defense to a woman who hasn’t really been aggressive herself . I love your channel, and I hope people chill and realize that you don’t have to entertain us for free, or give up dna ….

there are major questions about the poem that are ignored. For one, the author said, in 1987 that he wasnt allowed to show the poem on t.v. because someone might image capture it and take it for an independent handwriting verification. The EPE wont allow it stuff may be a cover story. Also, they will not say how many handwriting experts were asked to authenticate it. Geraldo said he knew that at least a dozen other handwriting experts received a copy. So if a dozen or dozens received it and 5 verified it, what does that mean. I dont know, just this is how critical thinking works. They call us naysayers or worse over there for raising these questions.

[@zucan100]

Many reasons why AYLT is a work of fiction. All these people commenting wanting the Smith's to give DNA have formed emotional attachments with the story. A lot like Mills & Boon readers from the 80's. Many facts Joe on his channel simply glosses over, calls some evidence 'smoking gun' when it is circumstantial at best. The people who knew, worked and accompanied Elvis know nothing of Lucy. Her version of Elvis being able to put on a fake moustache, a hat and able to walk into certain places to either pick up Lucy or meet her somewhere are laughable.

I get it but the image was spot on with all the girls. People were not going to pay to watch him act. He was a great singer but the songs should have been better and not filmed singing but in the background. It is so sad to know how Elvis suffered and the EX gets the rewards of all his hard work & name. Elvis did not want her to ever use his name or ever profit off of it. She hit up Vernon on his death bed and all doped up. Billy swears there was another WILL until she and Patsy Presley got involved.

[@SusieOrSueOrSusan]

She should take an Ancestry DNA test. It separates your maternal and paternal DNA for you. She should hire a professional genetic genealogist to do the research for her. I've been working on my family tree since 2018 and tested. Using my matches, I've made a lot of progress on most of my family lines. The reason I say she should hire a professional is because she may not have a paternal match closer than a 3rd or 4th cousin. That means it would take her some time to research and a professional would get it done much faster. They even have groups on Facebook with "search angels" who do this for free for adoptees. She could have started this long ago ( as I said, I've tested and have been researching my tree since 2018 ). As for the Smiths, I'm sure they can't be bothered with all of this. Why should they be bothered? They have their own lives to live and as I have said, she can attempt to find out who her biological father is if she did what I said.

I am guessing there are other children out there by Elvis. Elvis loved women so I would not doubt there are kids that were fathered by Elvis.

[@Patracat]

I don't think so, Elvis' friends said right from the start that Elvis was very careful to avoid his women becoming pregnant. He was aware of the consequences.

You got to remember Billy was only nine years old when Elvis was 18 and you are correct Elvis Presley had girlfriends before Billy was out of diapers, but and Billy‘s mind he knew everything about Elvis Presley just like all the other guys thought that they knew everything about Elvis Presley poor Elvis make comments to certain people that he felt like a prisoner Meaning they was up his ass 24 hours a day every one of them thought that they knew Elvis but there’s certain things Elvis kept to himself because Elvis didn’t trust any of them. It’s sad. Don’t trust any of them any of them, but I was always lonely and had to have people around.

[@nancysimmons2225]

@@Patracat you got to remember when Elvis Presley was 18 years old. Billy was only nine Elvis Presley had girlfriends when Billy was still in diapers and Billy and all the other guys can’t except that Elvis Presley wouldn’t tell them everything they’re certain things Elvis Presley kept to himself and I’m glad he did. It’s very sad sad because Elvis Presley made comments to quite a few people did he felt like a prisoner meaning that they was up his ass 24 hours a day and when he had to do something or go somewhere and wanted to be alone, boy he did it but it was a bit of a time, but did it it’s a shame always felt lonely and had to have them around but Elvis knew that but Elvis knew there was a downside to that day would be up his ass 24 hours a day but it’s pretty sad when I was Presley made a comment to a few people. He felt like a prisoner in his own house, that’s pretty sad so personally Bill shouldn’t make a comment at all because Billy was nine years old. My brother is seven years older than me. I can’t remember shit about who he dated where he went. What he did I don’t know. I was only seven. why would I care? Why would Billy care when Billy was only nine?

[@ebonyeyestb]

My opinion, without being rude. I just feel that with all the women Elvis was with . It is only logical that there may be other children of his out there. Sad fact but totally logical and possible. So I don’t believe or disbelieve anyone. Who knows.

[@mr.majestic3851]

I bet the opposite , I bet he used protection and or just engaged in heavy foreplay with younger women and by 1973 was not using good hygiene and was not doing Linda or Ginger .

[@pamelamcabee3094]

That would stop all the talk 🤐 ... some fans would like to know... Parker would know but to late, when it come to women elvis would let Parker know, that was business bc of money... I feel sorry 😔 for the ones that could be elvis's... they don't have to look like elvis... really if there's 1 or more, come out better ( not telling it, having peace of mind, no marriage n elvis didn't want to have anything to do with them, it was just sex ) but that's the wrong way to get other humans here... of course jesus doesn't like it, only in a marriage... when will humans learn 🙄... not my phone can't afford one she let's me use her phone 🙂❤️ ... n people get over it Bob Joyce is not elvis 🙄 ... his family told the truth n they are still hurting, ok ... it really hurts others keeping it going over the yrs, hoping elvis was here 😔😪 !!! So sad 🥺🥹😥😢😭

None of what Pamela said is my opinion. I just said it was logical but who knows.

[@ccat148]

The authentication of the poem, by five different individuals, is what gets me. As well as, the fact that Elvis Presley Enterprises recognized it as an authentic document written by Elvis and would not allow it to be used in the book. It's interesting. Unquestionable DNA is really down to Riley and her kids. I don't see them offering it up though. My opinion. ​@@ebonyeyestb

[@susans7376]

If you know Elvis' history you know he didn't have relations with every woman he dated. You would be surprised to know he was not as promiscuous as the stories would have one believe.

[@barbaradavis2873]

before Elvis died, I didn't think there was DNA, ( I may be wrong) but my question is : Why would anyone not give DNA to see if Desiree is a relative? And Elvis & Gene probably had secrets just as he & Billy . She is the only One with a claim that is a close possibility as for looks. I don't believe her moms story, but things were different in those times

[@touche97]

true. i don't think there was DNA, cousins don't have the same DNA anyway, its diluted.

[@kim-e2n8i]

DNA testing became available in 1988, just a few months after their book tour and t.v. appearances

[@kim-e2n8i]

another point is, after being led to believe there are audio tapes as proof, alleged daughter now says they were damaged in fire and flood, yes both, and even if she did have them, she wouldnt let anyone hear them because they're private information. Just putting a demand for someone's dna in perspective. ( when it wont prove a thing anyway )

Oh what a coincidence. Deborah Presley says same things. Items were burned in a fire or "someone" destroyed them. You would have those things in a safety deposit box!

[@charlenedonovan8948]

Regarding the comment below about Elvis having 'other children' out there somewhere...knowing what we know about who Elvis was as a human being, from Billy, from other family members, etc., IF (and that is a huge if) Elvis KNEW of other children he would NOT have let them be, for one thing, financially unsupported. Billy, would you address that comment made below?

[@christinerathbone8886]

I've said the same thing. I'm sure he would not have treated any other child he may have had like Tom Jones treats his youngest son.

[@Treeoflife-12]

I agree with you that if Elvis knew about any other children he would have definitely supported them financially. But in this case Elvis DID NOT KNOW about this child. Because her mother did not tell him about this child. The mother didn’t share this with him. Therefore Elvis didn’t know anything..... Elvis had no idea.

[@sunmoonandstars7545]

The stars like Elvis have power, the fans have economic power as well. There are different types of fans. These fans can migrate. There are core fans and fans that spread out like stars and different planets universes in the solar system. These never stay still. Isnt there a saying go with the flow go with the times. Elvis is a larger force spirit and watching. He didn't just end with his time on earth. He is a spirit guide a larger soul. People need to pay attention to their conscious.

[@trevorthompson330]

HERE IS MY OPINION on those bringing up Desiree "Presley": 1) I used to recommend that "other" channel because Billy Stanley was on---- no longer going to do it. 2) He allegedly called out people around Elvis in Desiree Presley Part 3 and allegedly called out the Memphis Mafia and/or those close to him: "They were only there for the money and the ride." Who was he talking about? 3) He also allegedly addressed it to those who said, "Nothing positive about the man who gave you a platform and made you important-so shut up." 4) There have been many people claiming to be the child of Elvis but could never prove it. 5). In My opinion, Desiree looks nothing like Elvis. 6) Who made Desiree a Presley? Who made Lucy a Presley? 7) Riley and Harper, if anyone---should do it. Billy Smith does not have Presley DNA; he has Smith DNA, Gladys's maiden name. However, in my opinion, this was debunked years ago. 8) This reminds me of Dee Presley going on national TV and allegedly lied in my opinion. 9) Billy Smith and Jo, in my opinion, are two of the few people who are honest about the Elvis legacy. 10) I have not heard Billy/Jo make fun of Billy Stanley; my understanding is Billy put himself into stories/situations where he was not there from my understanding, and the Smiths clarified. Also, Danny Smith did a video tribute to Rickey Stanley. 11) No hate, just the truth, and in my opinion, I love Billy and Jo. 12) My opinion is the other channel needs to stir up stuff, and he needs content for the KZbin channel.

[@touche97]

the only DNA that would count would be close relatives.. grandparents/siblings/ and no one else. that's how the cookie crumbles. this would mean Desiree would need both sides of the family, her own sisters to begin with.

[@trevorthompson330]

@@touche97 Riley and her daughters are the only ones with Presley DNA, so this harassment of the Smiths is uncalled for. Also, she went on Donahue years ago, and if valid, it would have gained traction then. It's coming out now after everyone has died.

[@kim-e2n8i]

this list could go on and on. alleged daughter's mom was with a gang of people who got her story sold to the tabloids. No response to a request for disclosure of payment info . Her moms cowriter has said things like Elvis was no different from any other celebrity drug addict. The channel owner calls Elvis fans numerous derogatory names, just for pointing out inconsistencies. The only proof of the book they can point to is the book itself. The poem is not allowed to be verified or inspected by anyone other than their FIVE experts picked decades ago, illuminating their total disregard for truth based thoughts. If they showed up and asked me for DNA, I would be alot less kind in my answer than the Smiths.

She is his daughter and she lived in texas. They weren't going to blabber who her dad was. People would laugh about that. Her mother had a poster on the wall and told her that is your father. So she was a single mom. They were not married.

@@19EnglishcaucAsians66 the Mom was married twice and had 6 children. She was married to her second husband when she said she became pregnant by Elvis. I don't recall ever hearing about a poster of Elvis on her wall. The mother supposedly was ready to tell Elvis he had a teenage daughter before he died. She never told her daughter for a few years after Elvis died. This whole story is unbelievable, more of a fantasy of the mothers. Full of holes, like swiss cheese.

[@mzritamarie4357]

I am a Christian country hick. I say this because I need to make a point. There is a person out there who is hurting and you can help. When Desiree was told Elvis may be her father, she ran away and hid from her mother for a time. It hurts. You are snubbing her as the Presleys are snubbing you. They think you are country hicks and not worthy of of being invited to their precious parties. Please don't do the same to Desiree. Don't snub her as you've been snubbed. Give that child peace of mind. If it is not her lineage, she needs to know. Do the Christian thing and put this child's mind to rest before Billy is gone too. What can it hurt? From one Christian hick to another.

[@lillyd2246]

Does a Christian have a child with anyone else than her husband ?

[@YTcomptetemporaire]

@@lillyd2246 Definitely yes, Ms Holier-than-thou. Welcome to planet Earth. Many christians, both men and women, many non-christians, and actually many, many humans, have children that are conceived out of wedlock. It's always a million times preferable for a child to be born from love and out of marriage, than to be born in a loveless, forced marriage. Look at the glaring example of screwed-up Lisa Marie. On the other hand, in spite of all the hells she went through, Desirée is still alive, still standing, and kicking ass.

[@lisajones-pg5wt]

I believe Elvis met Lucy in 1953 Billie would have been just a young kid and maybe Elvis didnt share things like meeting Lucy. Desiree wasn't told til after Elvis died even though it was suspect when she was growing up. Her mother wrote the book for her daughter not for her to become famous ( it's a beautiful love story whether you choose to believe it or not, it is possible) she wanted to protect Elvis' image and herself having something like that exposed in the late 50's as Desiree was born in 58 would have certainly put a bad mark on him and his career as he was just breaking into the music scene. he wasn't even told about it but she was planning on it but unfortunately he passed away. There's alot to the story with some proof that Lucy did have a relationship with him even though they may have only seen each other a hand full of times they remained friends throughout his life even speaking with him on the phone in August of 77 Please have an opened mind and READ the book. Desiree just wants peace of mind by doing DNA she's not after anything what can it hurt if it's not true then it's not true but what if it is. Maybe Elvis really could keep a secret lol have a great day love your channel not meaning any disrespect to anybody❤

[@tristazerbe8119]

YES please read the book and also realize the poem he wrote was authenticated by four different documents examiners.

[@qso3566]

You are so right about this. If I remember correctly, Lucy did not claim that she and Elvis saw or talked to each other consistently over 20 years, but that it was more of a connection. I didn't know her and don't know Desiree, I don't know if the story is true, but I do know that Desiree looks VERY much like a combination of Lucy and Elvis and she does have every right to know who her father is (or is not). It's appalling that Priscilla and Lisa so callously denied her that right. And it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal for someone in the Smith or Presley camp to offer a DNA sample. They need to put themselves in Desiree's place and what it must feel like to not be able to know for certain who your father is. So I believe you're right, that it's simply about her peace of mind.

[@marjgates5882]

I totally agree this woman needs to know there is so much evidence leading me to believe it also. I know if it was me I would want to know if he was my father life is to short. If there wasnt so much evidence I'd say no Please find it in your hearts to atleast read the book
