Elvis Presley Lansky Mens Shop Clothier to The King Spa Guy Visits

[@Elizabeth-dw6lc]

I was at the Peabody 10 years ago and went to Lansky's. Hal Lansky asked if he could help us. Great store! Thank you for your videos!!

[@sandramaggard2962]

Elvis was true to people he just started out with he never left anyone behind. A true southern gentleman, his kindness will never be forgotten. Elvis was true to himself and people around him. That's another reason there will never be anyone like him.

[@ingridjelinek7889]

To his womans?😉

[@sandramaggard2962]

@@ingridjelinek7889 Yes he had his share of women!

[@kathleennorton7913]

His dad treated a broke, young man right, and look how it blessed him and his family!

[@gloriae.p.luvr4life394]

Awesome! You're absolutely right. When it comes to Elvis, you can't forget about Lansky Bros. It's because of him that Elvis dressed so sharply. Match made in heaven is right.

[@thomastommy1192]

Gloria Ortega Awesome video. Where can I buy a picture of Elvis and Scotty?

[@jollybuffalo]

I used to go in and talk to Mr. Lansky once in awhile, he was a nice guy.

[@sharonfarquhar6048]

I'm from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 and you're right, everyone remembers where they were when Elvis died. I was eighteen and was driving when the news came on, I think I went into shock. I had discovered Elvis at eleven when I bought some old 45's from the school fair, amongst them was "Are you lonesome tonight". I fell in love and asked who this singer was and people said "don't you know who Elvis Presley is", well I certainly did from then on. I want to thank you so very very much for the thorough way you go about presenting all the videos...I feel like I'm with you at every location. Unfortunately I haven't been to Memphis yet, the only place I have been to in the South so far is Atlanta, but I have to say sincerely that of all the places I've been in the world, you Southerners are the nicest people I have come across. God Bless xx

[@ChrisLee-tl8vc]

Mr.Sparsuperman, We in the Far East can't thank you enough.Your videos have given the world a different angle of The King,who will live in our hearts forever! Elvis has never really never the building!

[@brentcooper4345]

I met Bernard Lansky many times. He sold me a lot of clothes. A great guy with great stories. I really miss him. We named our Sheltie "Lansky" in honor of Mr. B. Another great job Spa Guy!

[@leslietruitt2680]

It's amazing all the memories people have and the stories. The different pieces of memorabilia is awesome.

[@JustMe-gf1ko]

Love this episode. Going to add this to my trip schedule!!!!❤

[@ML-dh6ly]

From a U.K. fan.. thank you for bringing these amazing story's we read about as kids to life

[@SpaGuy]

David It brings them to life for me too... I shot a lot of the same videos for myself as long ago as 29 years but the video quality was bad and there was not KZbin so I just shared them with friends.. Now I get to share high quality videos with all of my friends like you.. Thanks for watching, Spa Guy

[@lynells3060]

Just awesome Elvis trivia Spa Guy....thanks !

[@retrowb3982]

Awesome as always. Your dedication is Paramount. Thank you so much for all you do. It is greatly appreciated!

[@matthewhutchinson4999]

Thanks again Mr. Spa Guy. You do the Presley family real proud.

[@katie2928]

Very nice! That is some fancy clothing! That is a great story.

[@alexandrej.maurent7155]

Great video as usual, I know is gonna take me a while to watch every single one of your awesome videos, but I am very excited about that. I was almost 8 years old when he passed away. Thanks again for letting us to see what you see with your own eyes.

[@Mama_LIN_Tee]

I love all of your videos, and this one is no exception! Thanks for your sincere and loving dedication to all things Elvis. Great footage, once again!!

[@SpaGuy]

Thanks for watching.. I really enjoy making them and have many more planned..

[@Mama_LIN_Tee]

That is awesome! You're great at this! And, enjoy the new jacket :)

[@donnahill8403]

Thanks Spa Guy for sharing this awesome story . It would be a wonderful experience in my life, if I could have one chance of getting inside that shop surrounded by awesome Elvis clothing and other and other cool items he may have. If I ever get to Memphis, I will be sure to look for Mr. Lansky ' s store and hope I'm prepared to buy some cool Elvis items. Thanks for the time you put into making these videos and sharing them with everyone. ☺😇 Have a blessed day.😇

[@Eio7]

I,listened to this again… Lansky said he was the first to give him a credit account, but didn’t Elvis get one at the store where Gene Smith’s wife was working?

[@conceicaofernandes242]

Achei muito legal 😃 tudo. Elvis inovou e deu mais criatividade pra loja expandir.Maravilha .E um encanto tudo.Gostei . Parabéns.🙏💟🎸🎤🎧🥁🎻🤩⛄🐇🌻🇧🇷❤️👏🦋🌹🌿

[@jeannaleemarie]

Hey spa guy I've been watching you for the past couple of weeks I've recently hurt myself and haven't been working and you rekindled my love for Elvis all over again so interesting the way you go into great detail of all the landmarks you truly are fan and you know you are truly appreciated by me and probably a hell of a lot of other people I'm in my 50s I don't know if I'll ever make the Graceland it's one of my dreams I hope it's still there after I retire because when I do go I'm going to spend at least two weeks down there thank you once again keep up the good work and don't forget to tighten it up

[@r.d.g.7877]

Thank you. I feel ya. Those feelings... printed into words arranged perfectly.

[@ladybug6005]

The Lansky wrap. Really classy store, they really take time to fold and wrap your purchase. Other clothing stores just throw them in the bag.

[@peggyhill7283]

Looking Good SpaGuy!!! I'd do the red but I think most gentlemen look good in blue. Good choice.

[@erinflowers8394]

Back in the 90's and early 2000's Hard Rock used to be a restaurant called Elvis Presley's Memphis. I used to go there often! They had great food and great bands!

[@robstar1470]

@ Spa Guy,hello from holland ,big fan of yours ,that lansky guy is a smooth operator,he sold you the wrong size,you need at least size xxxl for your big belly,he sold you size medium,ha,ha 👕 ,keep those videos coming 😋🎥🎬

[@ChrisLee-tl8vc]

Only discovered your videos recently. Fact that you were a friend of Scotty Moore make it all more closer to history & story of young Elvis. So sad to hear Scotty Moore & so many of Memphis Mafia group have passed away. But your videos will forever share the many things his fans all over the world will treasure the life and graciouness of Elvis & the impact he had on all of us.

[@SJ-db1lh]

Thank you, I really enjoy the depth of information you go into on your videos!

Awesome video Spa Guy!!!

[@timrogers3267]

I love your videos. Fun and informative. Something I’ve never seen, nor probably ever will. But I love Elvis. And the more you add, the more I know I was right about the goodness of the man. Thanks for always taking the high road about The King, and not broaching his alleged “issues.” What human doesn’t have issues? Thanks, Spa Guy. You always upload good videos.

[@SpaGuy]

Thank You My Friend.. I want to show the real person that was Elvis.. Not the person we all think he was.. Tighten Up!! Spa Guy

[@grimx5]

I'll be in Memphis leading up to Elvis week and absolutely want to thank you for all the great vids of the spots most don't know about. I'll be checking em all out while there. Thx again...Great work!

[@r.d.g.7877]

We all appreciate u and your team... bring'N us info on people, events, etc. we thought and hadn't thought we wanted or needed to know. U SIR, ...SpaGuy r priceless. ... unforgettable! ...U seem to b as Elvis felt. Has been mentioned when/while preforming/entertaining, ....Elvis is reacting to people and can't help doin what he does because he enjoys people, etc. Seems to me, ......us ...all who know of you feel how your subjects feel. ...."I want the wold to know". ...as i want you to know, SpaGuy... We thank u for being informative. Lol ...and i like the response from comments i post.. i know u feel me lol thank you😁🕺🎙️🔊🎶

I met Bernard and Hal Lansky in 2006. I bought a Jacket in the store (still have it), Hal helped me try it on, and yes, he turned up the collars. I asked Bernard what was Elvis like, he said, 'Dynamite!'

[@davidrixson2654]

I just heard about Red West, saw him in your video of Sony's funeral, that's four of the 'Memphis Mafia' gone in just 8 months. R.I.P.

[@bodeine454]

Another awesome video! I knew that Elvis shopped there but I didn't know that he shopped there so extensively. I've wondered for years where to get that particular jacket, didn't know that Lansky's also made his movie clothes and touring clothes. That jacket has been a favorite of mine since the early 70s but I didn't realize at first that it was a movie jacket. My first memory of that jacket was from the cover of my favorite Elvis Christmas album which included the song "Mama Liked The Roses". Still one of my favorite Elvis songs to this day. And I would have picked the blue one also! There's another shirt that he wore that always sticks out in my mind, it was a polo style shirt with collar and him standing in front of Graceland not long after he purchased it.... I'd like to buy that one too, among others....

[@1980bwc]

Great video bud. This doesnt involve Lansky's, but It seems most of the Memphis Mafia are leaving us all within the last few months. Saddened me to find out Red passed. He didnt live long after Sonny. I believe i saw Red in your video from Sonny's funeral. Alot of history has left us in a short amount of time. What you are doing is very important, so please keep it up.

[@SpaGuy]

Thanks Bryan.. Yes it was Red at the funeral and I could kick myself for not talking to Red that day.. I didn't think is was appropriate at a funeral so I didn't speak to him though I stood and looked at him for about 5 minutes and argued with myself back and forth.. I decided I would see him soon in Memphis and didn't walk over.. It was an opportunity missed... I plan to go to his funeral too.. Thanks for watching... Spa Guy

[@jeannaleemarie]

doubt is the devil go on your first instinct..... I would of asked him if he had any regrets on writing the book ....I Know that`s not right but neither was the book....just sayn`

[@cavykahn]

I didn't know it was called the Hard Rock Cafe now. I was there one day after the grand opening in 1996. It was Called Elvis Presley's Memphis Restaurant. I just missed seeing Priscilla and Lisa Marie.

Hi Billy, you mentioned the name Larry on the cigar box. He was the keyboardist in 1969 and his name was Larry Muhoberac!

[@joanne26]

Hello from England. My video likes on Elvis has pointed me to this video you posted some years ago. Lansky's and all that history. Such an individual store where you would have had and still have such individual service and i am thinking Elvis would have also.

[@Rita_654]

Loved this video Spa Guy ❤. Mr. Lansky sure did some nice wrapping, did he knew that he was standing before a famous Elvis historyian? He should have give you an extra wrap LOL. Next time I am in Memphis I'll step by the Peabody and hopefully can buy something, I am worried about the pricetags. Really cool btw you worked with Scotty. That's amazing. Elvis always looked his best but in his later day's he often wore a jogging suite and sometimes no rings at all. Maybe it had to do with his weight. Old mr. Lansky told that he gave Elvis his first suit and his last suit, when he passed away.

[@sampaiz3138]

Oh wow, I wished I would've seen your video before my girlfriend & I went to Memphis three weeks ago. I mentioned to her we could maybe eat at the Hard Rock but instead ate at Dyers Burgers. We did shop at Lansky's in The Peabody hotel where she bought me a couple of birthday presents.

Thinkk Elvis meant I'll buy your Store out ( of product). Wouldn't have meant otherwise. Always thought that sweater was a hand knit by a loved- one as they often were in those days. Cable knits usually. No polyester for miles I'm sure.

[@badapple65]

This is one of my favorite Spa Guy videos as far as covering sites in Memphis. Must be fun for Lansky JR to operate a historic retail shop as 2nd generation. Not many famous shops/stores in all of America if you think about it. Mr Lansky lives the part good as well.

Small store, I always thought it was more like a bigger style store, but then this is a new location...

[@SpaGuy]

There are 5 Lansky locations (4) inside of the Peabody..

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

Thank you! Do you think that their business started booming and maybe even went mainstream during the 1980's and up? Especially once the early Elvis started to be popular again? You have the Elfans who like the 50's version and then the ones who like the Vegas jumpsuit style.

[@southernrebel159]

I tell you what, Mr.. Lansky Jr is a fast talker and salesman and a half, lol I've never heard of that vehicle before, but it looks similar to a classic VW Beetle. Thanks for the interesting video brother, take care and YHVH bless.
