Not a single person that worked for Elvis had a bad thing to say about him. He treated all his staff & his fellow people that performed with him on stage with great respect. That says a lot about the man. Not a single person has come out to say a bad word about him but all good loving memories of him.

I was a young black child in the 60’s. I loved Elvis I’ve seen EVERY movie he stared in when I was a kid a 100x over. I thought him to be the most handsome man on earth and Artist. My favorite movies in this order: Girl Happy, Girls Girls Girls, Jailhouse Rock, Clambake, G I Blues, Roustabout, Spinout, Speedway, Blue Hawaii, Viva Las Vegas. and It Happened At The World’s Fair and Fun In Acapulco and yes I own all of them on VHS.

She really loved Elvis and she called him Mr. Elvis and he called her Mawee. She really had a lot of funny stories to tell about him. She never said a bad word against him. She and I always remained good friends. I wanted her to meet my son (Kenny Presley) so he and I went down there one week-end and actually stayed with her. She was an excellent cook. Before she died her request was that Kenny sing at her funeral. He told her if that was what she wanted he would be honored to do it. Kenny sang at her husband's funeral who preceded her in death. She was a wonderful lady with a big heart and if she told you something you could count on it being the truth. Kenny and I both loved her so much.

No jelly in those sandwiches, huh? I would've thought so because that Fool's Gold Loaf that Elvis once flew to Denver to enjoy in an airport hangar contained grape jelly.

Buckley Jr. A couple of decades after Elvis passed away Buckley was given a private tour of Graceland and wrote a book titled "Elvis in the Morning". (I bet Spa Guy already knew that, though!)

I cannot see how anyone could think that Elvis was a racist, the man sang Black music for Gods sake people!! If you know anything at all about a REAL racist they certainly would not be singing the music of a race they despise. If you look at the Memphis Mafia none of them were black, however, most of the Memphis mafia were members of Elvis' family or guys he met in school. In those days, the school days, you did not have white and black kids playing together so it's easy to see why he did not have any school buddies that were black. I also noticed that many of the comments are from people shocked that Elvis bought her a house. There are plenty of stories of Elvis buying homes, cars, trucks, motorcycles and all sorts of things for people. One guy met Elvis in Las Vegas and was admiring the belt Elvis was wearing, a few months later he received a package and it was that belt! Elvis read a story in the local Memphis paper about a young disabled man living in his home taking care of his elderly mother. The man did not have a wheel chair and would literally be crawling around on the floor to do things for his sick and elderly mama. Elvis got the guys together and they went and purchased the man a brand new wheel chair. The story goes that Elvis and the guys went to the home with the new chair and it was Elvis himself who picked the man up off the floor and set him in the wheelchair... THAT shows you what kind of a man Elvis Presley was.

The quote did not appear in white publications that arguably would've advanced his early career in parts of the US. It's a surprise for those that knew Elvis because his music heroes were black and he made the effort to 'go across town' to listen to black artists. There's even a 1956 picture of him talking to black reporter ladies backstage. No one in 1956 would've batted an eyelid if a Southern white boy had refused to be interviewed by blacks yet he gave them access....

Man what an honor to be a part of the gang.

[@TheSolidheroes]

Great research awesome video with tidbits revealing what a great loving generous and compassionate man Elvis was. Many celebrities put on a facade for the world but this man was truly a great soul no wonder his music never ceases to inspire me. My Elvis record collection remains one of my most precious possessions.

[@jessiem276]

Elvis was a very giving person and that shows you what kind of heart he had. Such a loving person. Yes, he had a temper, but..don't we all? I know I do. Great video, Spa Guy...Thanks for sharing!

[@aditiban002]

Elvis dud not just have the House purchased for her. He actually chose it herself, took her there himself , and told her , "this is yours IF YOU LIKE IT"... That is RESPECT. Only a Man with great self respect and nobility of character can have that kind of Humbleness.... .... Love you my King...

[@taurussun2228]

I'm glad someone treated our kind with love kindness and respect. 🌻

[@henryrussell3494]

Probably the kindest legend that ever lived 🎸🎤

[@rockbay79]

Mrs. Jenkins had a really loving bond and respect for Elvis. Otherwise, she would not have stayed on his staff for so long. Elvis was a very giving person. It was just his nature, I assume.

[@roob2u2]

@robert howard I do wish the troll would just return to his basement with all of HIS racist BS. Not needed or...RELEVANT.

[@Nela0077]

Lowie Patat so I guess all the cooks at the restaurants, fast food etc you’re eating at are your slaves? She was paid for her awesome cooking , let alone got a house fully paid and cars! She was a family to him! I hope you find some peace with yourself 🌹

[@justmeok3609]

I have a toy similar like the one in your profile pic except it's black instead of green.

[@rockbay79]

@@justmeok3609 My "toy" is actually a speaker. This is the only one I've ever seen. I bought it at a yard sale. I just thought it looked cool. :) Bought it for a dollar.

[@queenboogie2474]

I love this story💕💕 a king who treated Mary like a queen i just love it💕💕

[@ChristyJeanLopez]

So Called celebrity of today will Never know the true meaning of loyalty by their "staff" such as this fine, genuine lady. They just Never will. 🖤 Great insight with content, thank you!

[@hazelevans1971]

God bless Mary she was loyal to Elvis

[@robincorprew9007]

You know the media will have you thinking he was a racist, but when you look a little deeper he was just a good guy living in those times. I have a new look on Evis Presley from a black woman living in the south 2018

[@SpaGuy]

Robin, I could not agree more.. He was simply a good person respectful and giving to all.. Thanks for your comment.. Spa Guy

[@KMims747]

Think the people around him would have him say goofy things like all a n×××× can do for me is shine my shoes. Kinda how Trump got caught up in the grab by the ..... I never thought he was a bad person. On weekends my dad would fix lunch for us and we enjoyed his movies.

[@klove7365]

[@joannephillips6781]

Who owns the house now? It looks like it’s still has original paint work as when Elvis bought for Mary. It’s a real pity that it’s not been kept in good order.

[@TL-xn7hy]

To be honest I’m black, 62 years old and never heard Elvis was racist. What I heard grumbling about was how white artists copied & stole black music without giving the black artists credit. But that wasn’t done by the average artist. That was done by the record producers and the record companies.

[@vernellharris5278]

Sounds like a great friendship, I wouldn't say anything disrespectful about him either !!!

[@flagal519]

Love your videos...thanks so much. A sweet story of Elvis and his generous nature. I bet she was a wonderful lady.

What I like about Elvis 🕺 the love and respect fir his fans In his kitchen in Graceland there is a silver cup, sent from UK from his fan I was really surprised

[@n4pwx]

Billy I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for helping to keep Elvis alive. These videos you make really make it happen for me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you my friend.

[@rahmanmadison4967]

Elvis was a very Genuine dude..an Mz Mary was a Sweet Jewel😏

[@ellencasey5699]

She was his second Mother feeding him whatever Elvis pleased.🥞🍔🥓🍕🌭🌮🥙🍞🥐🥗🍲🥘🍳🍝🍜🍛🍚🍦

[@justmelittleoleme9527]

That is what I am thinking, it seemed he seen her like a mother figure in a adoring manner. It seemed like them two a genuine special bond together.

[@dodadeb8954]

I believe they had almost a mother son relationship. She took care of him and and he took care of her. Like a mother/son relationship.

[@scentland4753]

You are making sure that history will not be forgotten!!! So great!

[@bonanzatime]

As a stone mason, and someone who has been to Graceland, I can not lie, the stonework at Graceland and this house is Hideous. Elvis a Great Singer (The Best In The World) was not too concerned with architecture😅, I saw some 'plywood patch work' done on Graceland as well. ... he was a true country boy, God Bless him.

[@joncookesimmons6496]

I’ve never really known much about Elvis. I’ve come here from “Scott on tape” and the more videos I see I realise what a special, generous person he truly was.

[@SpaGuy]

Welcome Jon.. Yes Elvis had Legendary Generosity..

[@blyt5046]

Thank you for uploading this, I'm trying to prove to people That he was not a racist. He was a great man. Loved him since i was a kid back in the late 60's.
