He prayed before going onstage.

[@bethgillikin3691]

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❤

[@ertagortan5367]

all true!

[@tray1813]

Elvis was the best singer in the world. Everyone wanted his singing in movies.

[@jballard1972]

Billy is a gem of a guy. Really love hearing from him. Reminds me so much of my mom’s family.

[@pattynuzzello9035]

There's an interview out there with Elvis saying he prayed before every concert

[@sandralybrand9425]

He did, and I remember I think it was Charlie told a story when Elvis was so sick but refused to call off the show because the fans were counting on him. They couldn't find him, but they found him in the bathroom on his knees in front of the toilet. He'd thrown up and was praying to put on a good show. Right after the show he went straight to the hospital.

[@pattynuzzello9035]

​@@sandralybrand9425 Yes in thinking back I can't help but to feel that all.of his fans never gave him a moments peace the man literally lived a lifetime of hiding its sad his fame came with such a high price

[@leslieaponte75]

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 😢

[@neildarealdeal7129]

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

​@@neildarealdeal7129...and thanks to that book, they were able to sit on the couch and wait for the proceeds on the book thanks to the name of ELVIS, it was an infamy!

Did red get payed writing couple of songs for Elvis ? Also he was doing stunt work and acting so doubt he was to strapped

Guys were working in Hollywood making good money that book? Thats why you should calm down before reacting

Watching this video and really all of the EFM videos it is so apparent that Lisa missed so much by not staying in close touch with Billy and Jo. You are very kind people who knew Elvis the best. You know the truth.

[@sandralybrand9425]

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! ❤

I was too young to go. But, I remember my parents saying when Elvis came to Lake Charles, LA the concert sold out so quickly that people were disappointed. So, he agreed to do a second one. ♥️

I believe if Elvis had of around 1973 started touring around the world , I think he would have lived longer he would of wanted to stay in shape and maybe took better care of him self , it’s said he loved a challenge, I think he was tired of the same thing all the time , he said in New York he wanted to do it but it never happened.RIP ELVIS

Linda Thompson said she had several nicknames for Lisa. Linda said she stayed in contact with Lisa for a good while after her daddy passed away. Then Lisa got busy and so did Linda. But Linda said she got in touch with Lisa after Ben died. Lisa loved that she called her.

[@horsesensetv1259]

[@elvisfangirl9093]

Another question please Whose idea was it why Elvis never did encore’s? Thank you.

[@deanor.6055]

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!

Did Elvis and Priscilla ever have a day all alone in Graceland besides with house keepers?

Question: Did Elvis like polk salad or any other greens? I remember my mama fixing polk salad with cornbread and some other side dish. Seems like polk salad would grow just about anywhere. I always wondered if Elvis liked blackberry pie, too. That was another southern dish. Mama used to make the best blackberry pie I've ever eaten 😊

QUESTION: The fight between Priscilla and 2 female fans in 1966 at the Rocca Place gate made Elvis furious. It is said that Elvis forgave the 2 fans who tried to beat up Priscilla and he actually let them continue to hang out at the Rocca Place gate after the incident. They are shown in the crowd of the 68 Comeback Special Why didn't Elvis ban them from his property?

My mom was a waitress that served him whenever he would come into the restaurant. She said he always ordered the same thing and she knew what that was, so he would nod his head at her when walking in and she’d put in his order. She said this was before he was famous, but that he was working on it then.

Did the maids have to carry Elvis's food trays up and down the stairs or was there a dumbwaiter at Graceland to help them? I read a few times that Elvis sang Can't Help Falling in Love for his fans.
