You’re rightfully correct on everything that you have said about what a life you lived with Elvis no one will ever experience the way of Elvis living with such good people and Billy you were a special cousin to him. That can’t be taken from y’all. You are the most truthful of all. Elvis will always matter to all of us. Without y’all there wouldn’t be Elvis fans. Take care❤

It breaks my heart that she didn't get to experience a loving family. I believe she would've had a better life with better people to model her life after. She wouldn't have made some of the mistakes she made( the drugs because of rebellion against her mother, or jumping into marriages quickly to escape Scientology and trying to find someone that loved her for her and not Who she was!)😢 I think her only true love was her daddy and her children. Just like Elvis with his mother, Lisa and Billy. And if course Dodger! ❤

Questions: why didn't Red, Sonny, and Dave prepare themselves financially knowing Elvis physically, mentally, and financially wasn't doing to well during the time they were working for him , but instead got so angry and was in shock of their termination, that book they wrote was so slanderous and vengeful how did they think that was going to help Elvis? They knew that book would devastate and hurt him smh 😢
@neildarealdeal712910 ай бұрын
Good point! I haven't really looked at like that. No one want's their private life (activities exposed to the whole world). In my opinion, it was a way for them to make money off Elvis's name and they did. I understand their bitterness, yet, they basically lived at Graceland, they could have asked Elvis for a set schedule and spent that off time doing something else financially for themselves. Elvis bought all the houses for them too. My God, what else you want? Darealdeal

I love your page! So thankful for your TRUE Elvis stories! I do have a question. So many musicians falsely claim friendship with Elvis for obvious reasons. I just recently watched the Little Richard documentary where they claimed Elvis came backstage to a Little Richard concert and told him that Little Richard was the true King. I know that Elvis did say at a press conference that Fats Domino was the King. It’s a moot point in my book Elvis was obviously not the first but undoubtedly the greatest entertainer of any genre. Thank you all for doing these videos and the Lord Bless you all!

They are shown in the crowd of the 68 Comeback Special Why didn't Elvis ban them from his property?
