Elvis Presley Ronnie McDowell How He Became an Elvis Fan Part 1 of 2 The Spa Guy

[@chriswilliams-lilley5771]

....”there’s Elvis, then everybody else!” you said it, Billy. ✊🏻🇬🇧❤️

[@heatherlomaxmusic4776]

Chris Williams-Lilley yes!!

[@tupelomiss8315]

What a really nice genuine guy.Elvis would have liked him a whole bunch. 🇬🇧 uk

[@lynnelovett8999]

I really enjoyed this interview with Mr. Ronnie Mcdowell. He said "There was Elvis and then there was them.". I agree in they were JEALOUS of Elvis and why he didn't get the recognition that he deserved. He knew his fans appreciated him. Look at the fans he has today and you Mr. Spa Guy keeping his memory alive and doing Elvis history ! You in my opinion are the best at Elvis history than all on youtube. Thank you. Keep tightening up. God bless.

[@johnbarnes5916]

Great Rodney Elvis McDowell !! He's one of a kind, great job Spa-guy 10+👍❤️🙏😎

[@dianehayse8996]

Nobody loves Elvis any better than Ronnie McDowell. And, Ronnie is such a entertainer. Next to Elvis...my favorite singer. All his other talent is just a plus to the world.

[@anniestorti5069]

oh my goodness.....what a fantastic conversation with Ronnie and his knowledge and expression of Elvis........I could feel it and I love that I am not alone with the same feelings!!! thank you for this special dedication utube ,...you guys are .....the best.... TCB Annie.....as in Polk Salad :))

[@SpaGuy]

Ronnie Rocks!!

[@theflossi56]

He loves Elvis like I do. The King Is Gone always brings tears to my eyes hard to listen to

[@tupelomiss8315]

Absolutely Debbie.makes your heart break doesn’t it.but you know Elvis is within us all everyday.🌹🌹

[@jennifernapoli8172]

Thank you for another Great video Billy👍🏻Ronnie is Such a Nice man. Really enjoyed listening to him.. Thanks again.EP Forever💞 Take Care and God Bless❤️

[@lauriez5367]

I would Love to hear more of this man's stories..

[@jasona8096]

Wow are you kidding me what great stories this man has can't wait for part 2

[@chrisrose5740]

Ronny is Awesome!!! Hasnt changed at all !!!

[@tommyd9857]

What a great interview... He's such a cool dude! 😎

[@littlesister7021]

Your so lucky to have known Elvis. Thanks for sharing your memories.

[@leannbrooks218]

Wow~ This was nothing but fun to listen to! He just couldn't stop complimenting Elvis and I loved it :)

[@karenmiddleton995]

You should go one of his concerts. You want be disappointed. He has stories about Elvis and a ton of other people. He's one lucky guy. If you go to Ronniemcdowell.com this Friday he's doing a Facebook live concert since he can't tour. He played last Friday which made me happy because he was supposed to be here in Mississippi for a concert. That darn virus. He was supposed to come back the end of May and that's canceled too. It's really bad for all our entertainers. So many are going live so I appreciate that. Ronnie is a ton of fun. He treats his fans so good. He, his family and everyone who works for him are so down to earth. He has so much talent it's unbelievable. I could go on all day about him. I remember the first time I heard The King Is Gone. It blew me away. I was 13 years old and still sad about Elvis but that song changed everything for me. I told Ronnie my story and it really touched him. He even kissed my hand. Wasn't expecting that but that was a sweet moment. Ronnie loves to talk to his fans, I have tons of autographs, he loves getting his pictures taken with his fan and he gives good hugs. Just a super nice guy.

[@chrisrose5740]

I didnt know the Story about 'youre so square' and the bass but I have loved that song !!! Best interview ever !!! Field Goal Billy !!!

[@christinavines559]

Good afternoon Billy I am Christina and I want to say about Ronnie impersonting Elvis Presley is very awesome person

[@christinavines559]

Also i want to thank you for this video and is pretty awesome definitely wonderful at least is enjoying very much

[@christinavines559]

I really appreciate it so much Billy I hope you had a great day and I will see the next video of Jerry Lee Lewis trip with Lori as soon as possible so on it would be incredible absolutely Terrific

[@timchen5299]

Mr Ronnie's tribute to Elvis is Fantastic- his voice is close to the King what a nice guy.And he was there with Elvis - Amazing! Thanks Mr Ronnie & SpaGuy

[@timcarr6401]

He wasn't there with Elvis.

[@rodrigofabregas7756]

Wow, that's true...Ronnie s Elvis #1 fan....you can tell when you watch and hear him talking about him. Another great video Billy!. Thanks.

[@carrolroberts9571]

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview. He touched on a subject that has always been a question for me. Why was Elvis not recognized for the amazing talents he had. There should have been Grammys, Best Actor Award, etc. He sang Gospel so extremely well and received a Grammy for this. He was the only entertainer that could make any song his OWN. But not one award for his capabilities. Sorry, just get carried away. These are just my thoughts, and in addition, he was completely thankful for his fans and extremely generous. He was and is such an exemplary person. He had an amazing heart, just wish he was still with us. No, he will never be forgotten or replaced.💔💓❤ God Bless

[@careyfaulkner7293]

What a great interview with Ronnie

[@marthaslaughter5406]

That song is so precious I cry every time I hear it Elvis would have loved Ronnie

[@bethgillikin3691]

I enjoyed the interview with Ronnie such a Southern Gentlemen. They are few and far between. Gold 🌟 Spa Guy Keep um coming y'all.

[@elvis_a_burrows_2005]

[@oneafter9095]

I became a Ronnie McDowell fan because of Elvis...and bought many of his albums...and I still have the 45rpm “The King is Gone”. These days I’m thrill to see Joe Var Veri covering Elvis songs so beautifully in Brooklyn..he is also a big Elvis fan...Thanks Spa Guy for this...Norm from Queens NYC.

[@susangeiger2654]

Wow, Mr. McDowell. Love all theses cool stories you've shared. I also Love all that Zest!, you've got for Elvis! Awesome Guys!

[@susangeiger2654]

Thank you Spa Guy for all the great videos you post. I really enjoy them and so many from others here on youtube. They all are a blessing to me in so many ways. Blessings always!

[@timothyrutherford1120]

[@myalfie]

Fabulous stories that Ronnie recounts of his love for elvis and other people’s tales of how he touched their lives, can’t wait for part two.

[@jonjo220]

That was superb. Captivating. Always look forward to another Spa Guy vid

[@mrDCunningham]

There was Elvis and then all the rest. So true. I loved the "King is Gone'' and it touched my heart so much just after Elvis passed.and still does. what a nice man Ronnie is. TCB

[@phoenixxflux9622]

I really loved this interview. Ronnie is an awesome man. I met him and interviewed him around 2009 or so. It was such a thrill for me. I hope to get to see him again... Keep up the great work Billy....

[@epfanatic8170]

I just love Ronnie! I've met him many times and he is so down to earth and nice. To hear him talk about Elvis is so great. He gets it like all of us. 😊❤️

[@georgeanthony9333]

That was a wonderful tribute to Elvis from this gentlemen this morning!!!? great story and memories

[@garydonner7303]

Great interview Billy Spaguy 👍 what a southern gentleman Ronnie is 🤗 a true Elvis fan 🤩👑

[@deborahshingleton2628]

Ronnie did an awesome Painting of Elvis looking into a mirror! Very talented man.

[@roustabout583]

Ronnie is talking facts. He heard all the stories. Nice to hear fans like me chatting like this. I like Ronnie. He did a heck of a job on "Personally."I actually saw Ronnie live in Illinois at the Countryside Opry. He was a great entertainer. These guys are great to listen to. Amazing how as we get older one thing we don't lose is our love and commitment to Elvis and his music.

[@ramonaeichelberger4628]

I really enjoyed part 1. Ronnie McDowell could listen to him talk all day very interesting stories. I do believe there was a lot of jealous people of Elvis. Thank you Spa Guy and Ronnie, Diane Goodman.

[@maritzadeolarte114]

Love you Ronnie! I saw him in Memphis when I went for the 40th Elvis Anniversary! Glad to met him in his show! Greetings from Peru!

[@dawnsawyer4275]

[@barbaraestes2434]

You do sound just like Elvis Presley its a blessing you sing his songs

[@kevinboothgospelministries]

Love Ronnie! Had the privilege of working with him multiple times and sitting with him just like this talking Elvis. Some of my fondest memories

[@Sigma100_]

What an excellent interview. Ronnie is such a great entertainer and person. He is so right about how unfair the Grammys were when it came to Elvis during his lifetime, as well as Hollywood. Keep the videos coming and keep watching. Stay healthy!!

[@martyclark991]

Thanks mr spa guy for another awesome video

[@vidalynag3972]

I love this Billy. Thank you for sharing. Waiting for Part 2

[@FLG232]

Great interview Ronnie! It was obvious as to how passionate he was about Elvis

[@bonniebrown6960]

Great stories !! Elvis sure did influence so many singers . He was an amazing person !! I loved watching Hee Haw when I was growing up and I still watch the reruns once in awhile. I can't wait to see part 2 of this interview . Thank you Spa Guy for sharing this with us !! Love it !!

[@aaronking7326]

I've met Ronnie...Sang with him...Just an amazing, wonderful man...

[@vickiatkins9061]

[@donnahill8403]

Thanks for sharing this awesome interview with Ronnie McDowell. Thanks to him for talking with you. Ronnie sure is a wonderful person and was happy to share his thoughts and his love for Elvis and his music. He is right about Jerry Reed, his talent for playing the guitar was incredible. I really enjoyed this very much. I look forward to part 2 of this interview.

[@catherineengle4196]

Omg..I love Ronnie Mcdowel. How cool. What a treat. Ty God bless y'all.

[@sandramaggard2962]

Elvis was a phenomenon that can never be repeated because he had so much God given talent it's almost unreal. The voice of an angel and the heart of a child, that may sound strange to some people but a child love's so purely with their heart it's hard to put into word's but there's an innocence about Elvis and it's beautiful. The way he gave and loved doing it was a beautiful thing, that's what make's Elvis phenomenal he was just different and a lot of people don't like different but I love it. I love Elvis and I alway's will because I think I really understand him. Some people don't get it but I do!!!

[@stephentarasenko1603]

Love it love it love it!!!!! Just awesome!!!

[@adamdavidson9467]

Mr. Billy, You bring back great memories with this interview. 5 stars! *****

[@srgrahl]

Great job, looking forward to pt 2.

[@johncoffman2703]

Ronnie is looking good thanks Billy another great one.

[@eddiedawkins19]

Ronnie said something I've never heard anybody else say...I've said this about Elvis for so long, There's superstars and then there's Elvis Presley

[@linapagliari8003]

Ty spa guy another great interview stay safe n stay healthy😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@russellgay9442]

Ronnie is just a warm, down-home, personable, friendly sort of guy, that you don't normally think of encountering these days. But I think most Country artists especially are still like that today.

[@jonathanlane4496]

Ronnie has always impressed me as a wonderful guy and a terrific singer in his own right but when he sings as Elvis, the emotion that he feels comes though better than any of the impersonators. There is a video on KZbin where he sings “Don’t” that will just blow you away. Did Ronnie ever meet Elvis or see him perform? Thanks again Billy!

[@everydaymusic3607]

So true I’ve had this conversation with Ronnie before man. Crazy

[@Denise-dp6js]

I always enjoy your information!! I am a true Spa Guy fan!! My bday was March 24th and my daughter is today on the 26th!! I teach her all of his songs....The King!! Long live him!! Thank you!

[@SpaGuy]

Happy Birthday to you both!!

[@Denise-dp6js]

Thank you!!!

[@carlmurray8702]

Wow what a class act. Honest and insightful without pretension. Love his devotion and appreciation to the impact Elvis had in both music and acting without the recognition that should have accompanied the undeniable great works.

[@David-hn7zm]

Hi Billy you're the best my friend GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !!!!!!! ELVIS PRESLEY TIGHTEN UP MY FRIENDS !!!!

[@raythelljordan6550]

I dont know about Ronnie but I became an Elvis fan through the Spa Guy. Thanx Spa Guy!

[@cathybeauchump7636]

Great interview SG. Ronnie was spot on with Elvis. He got it. He ran with it and of course came out on top he’s our Elvis. Yes he won everything. TCB. I’m His biggest fan as well. Thanks Spy Guy. ⚡️😎🤗❤️

[@tomoirish1]

Love it!....awesome insight, great interview, thank you Spa GUY!!

[@MegaDean1995]

Spa Guy you got that from me about how long Elvis lived on this earth. I told you about this last year and you even responded to me about it. It never crossed your mind until I commented about it.

[@jackiewelsh1284]

Great interview as always Billy, love it when people are passionate about Elvis but in the right way

[@tonyrotundo35]

Spa guy keep up the great work and Ronnie your a class act saw you at Casino Rama in Canada with Scotty and D.J. In The Elvis Story was amazing come back soon

[@sandrabrown2132]

I live in Alabama. Ronnie came to our small town and had a show in our high school auditorium at night. I went and he was great.

[@Danny_S.]

Thanks Spa Guy. I love it!!

[@Kpetty-lm6df]

Awesome as always ⚡️ thanks billy

[@BrianJohnson-cj8xf]

Saw Ronnie perform at a Casino in Michigan and meet him ... very gracious man !!!

[@1980bwc]

I've always said that nobody has ever done a better job doing a cover of "King Creole" than Ronnie McDowell. When he did it onstage with Scotty and DJ, it gave me chills!

[@elvis616]

I'm old enough to remember the song Roddy did after Elvis died, the King is gone.

[@ericbolland5071]

RAMBO STARZ I agree it was played a lot in Nova Scotia , Canada and such a great Tribute

[@lynnhayse8890]

It's Ronnie...not Roddy. Roddy was an actor of Planet of the Apes fame. Ronnie is a country music legend.

[@elvis616]

@@lynnhayse8890 Ok Ronnie ✌

[@Sam-cg6rv]

He truly had it all.

[@dustingrant2062]

Great video as always..cant wait for the 2nd part. God bless

[@ADURANT42]

Great Job Billy. Keep Em Coming 👍😎

[@donniestevens1559]

Wow great

[@robertshabarekh610]

Phenomenal !!! 👍🏻

[@heatherlomaxmusic4776]

Soooo good! You can’t really put your finger on it-SO TRUE! Elvis is STILL the king! Jealousy is an ugly monster. Ann Margret said the same about Hollywood being jealous of him. No one ever looked or sang like that!!! 🙌 Elvis so deserved more than just a Gospel grammy.

[@nightowl4137]

Fabulous interview looking forward to part 2. Ronnie still looking good at 70.

[@alicemilling3706]

Absolutely guys, 5 yrs old he pulled me in and never wanted to be let go,I don't know why of course hes beautiful inside and out love him so much but 5 years old. ,,why? I understand completely Ronnie, i have your albums love your music Thanks Billy cant wait for part 2 Awsome as always 😀❤

[@robwachelder3234]

I saw him perform in Tupelo (Aug. 1989), the first time I was in America. Wish I could have an autograph on my copy of the "king is gone" record.

[@spirittraveller3846]

Awesome stuff Billy!!! Love it ! LOVE IT ! LOVE IT!!!!

[@shirleycarr5387]

Whst a fan .im a fan of elvis for many yrs and Ronnie doe s justice to elvis .thank u ronnie

[@delladawn1149]

I remember when the King is Gone came out. Love it he’s so passionate in talking about Elvis. I do the same thing. Good one as usual Spa Guy Looking forward to part 2!!

[@brendalawrence6732]

I love Ronnie's passion when talking about Elvis, he gets across how most of us feel about Elvis. I never understood either why Elvis didn't get all the awards that he should have gotten, so I think Ronnie is on to something when he said that Hollywood and Nashville were jealous of Elvis. So many were jealous of him and still are I think. With fans like Ronnie, Elvis will never die, his memory will live on forever as long as there are fans like him. Off to watch part 2, loving this interview!

[@wbandyky]

Ronnie is such a great guy. He came to our high school when my children were in the chorus there and did a Christmas Concert singing with them. He couldn't have been more down-to-earth. This is a great interview!
