[@lancehurley9743]

ELVIS will live forever...even after we’re all gone...

[@jacquelineloveselvis]

Who on earth has thumbed down this video? These videos are very precious as they are made by actual family members, Billy, Jo and their 2 boys, who lived and travelled with Elvis. Billy is Elvis first cousin and was with him from the beginning, he knows more about Elvis than anyone. Hi Guys, please keep them coming, we can't get enough stories about Elvis. Thank you very much.

[@Frying_Poêle]

Jo you do not look 70 (any number) You and Billy are just precious people.Thank you for sharing your memories!

[@mississippimud7046]

I can't believe she is 71,I want to know what magic spell she uses. What a beautiful woman ☺

[@sandramaggard2962]

I love listening to your storie's. I can imagine Jo meeting Elvis when she was so young. Jo you were beautiful then and you still are, it's obvious how much Billy love's you. Billy isn't hard to look at either, you make a lovely couple. Thank you for the storie's and God bless you and your family.

[@davidn4613]

Danny, I know y'all would like to get your subscribers and views up so you can keep doing the great videos. I would suggest going to one of the many Elvis fan sites or blogs and posting links because I know for a fact there are many many people who don't know about your channel but would love to watch and hear your family stories ! Too many of us your family is the last living link to Elvis so it is great what you guys are doing and very much appreciated

[@firstlastname3865]

It's so cool to see Billy & Jo still together after all this time. Their relationship & marriage is a journey in & of itself. God bless the two of them.

[@brendabooher6683]

What a great story about meeting each other and Jo meeting Elvis. After Elvis said if she did t start talking to him he was going to hit you over the head with the pool stick he broke the ice and Elvis and Jo were friends from then until the end. I luv it. Take care and God Bless.

[@debbielittlejohn628]

Thank y’all so much for these videos. I look forward to finding a new one of yours everyday, it’s uplifting & your parents are so personalable & fun to listen to.

I feel through you guys, his real kinfolk who knew him, and his ways the bestest, i now feel like many others on here, like he was family even more to me to now... million thanks for your family memories guys...i would love to catch up, one day for real, lots of love from liverpool and Newbury UK, also a friend of Mike Nova Elvis impersonator here in Newbury.

[@jenny6692]

Chris Hamilton same here, I was 5. My maternal side are Hamilton’s. my grandfather from Scotland.

[@EthanA1122]

Once again I end up smiling...you guys are real down home people and your Mom has a beauty about her that radiates that southern charm...and I think your Dad is the Last most Important connection to Elvis that the world has...I've never written a book but if I thought there were one chance in a thousand I'd move down there and write a dam good one! Is Billy still a Deputy?

[@MorningMary67]

Y'all are such a sweet family for sharing all of these personal memories with us! It's wonderful to see the love between Billy and Jo and that you have been married all these years. I hope you have many more together! I always wondered how you met each other. You are a beautiful lady Jo! Did you ever become friends with any of the fans at the gate? I would love to hear about your times spent at Circle G.

[@lisap3344]

Nice to see you all, love your necklaces 😁♥️always a pleasure to hear your stories , God Bless from NH

[@traceychallenor5469]

Thanks again guys, love your videos!! Question , Elvis is/was massive and adored here in the Uk, both my father and grandfather were fans( my dad was a big hit with the ladies back in the fifties and sixties, as he modeled his look on Elvis) do you think he had any real notion of the magnitude of love he had here in the UK? He is still filling arena's, we went to see the latest show at Londons o2. Xxx

[@twocanplayatthat]

Thank you for the wonderful stories!

[@karenkoontz581]

This is WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@markinette4953]

What can we say about Elvis today, heaven forbid we get a real job

[@Mexicanita1904]

Jo, I had no idea you had known Elvis since the age of 14. My gosh, you were a little girl! What great memories.

[@geico1975]

Great video and sweet story:)

[@hreed3303]

Good one guys and gal. You do Elvis and yourselves proud. X

Awesome story! Thank you!

[@ammo5947]

God bless and may you never walk alone xxx

[@deanmall7081]

[@debranalley9224]

Thanks for another great video, keep them coming.

[@tomallmon2832]

Thanks you'll for sharing that, as always I enjoyed it.

[@AntoninaRivituso]

what a nice story love it..

[@sheliaraymer2422]

Luv hearing these stories! Thank u 💖

[@elvisfangirl9093]

Aww you all are so adorable and sweet. Thank you for telling it like it was with such respect. I have a question- There are many versions of how Elvis felt before he passed, some said he was drugged up and depressed and some said he was content and looking forward to venturing into new projects. Can you please speak some truth and finally put rumors to rest 🙏🏻. Thank you. Always live/love Elvis ⚡️tcb⚡️

[@abc-wv4in]

Yes please, and if you do, please address the financial pressure. We know Elvis had sold a huge asset and income stream in selling his recording royalties to pay the second divorce settlement. And he had a lot of employees, with Parker getting an unreasonably huge chunk of income off the top. Elvis appeared to be in poor health and tired, and many fans think he really couldn't take a break from touring because of financial concerns. Is that way off base? Love your videos; please keep them coming!

[@sharonhayes3391]

Love love your videos....love you all....

[@leonieladner8631]

Good on them for sharing their memories.

[@FindsoftheNCFoothills]

That time in your life had to be extraordinary. How do you find that level of excitement in life after Elvis?

[@linapagliari8003]

Ty for ur wonderful stories on Elvis 😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@srgrahl]

Great job, I enjoy what you do!

[@tinapascal1106]

To all of you, the question and answer format is fantastic! Please keep this going. Jo, please talk about the first time you met Priscilla, spending time with Priscilla? What was it like to spend time with her, and what were your impressions of her beauty at that young age. Any questions that can be answered about Priscilla would be appreciated. You guys are awesome!

[@josephinelehman1736]

That was a cute story. I loved hearing it.

[@janicenichols7469]

Love these videos!

[@555goca]

Hey I have to say that you all are soo cute and funny you don't always have to be talking about Elvis...you can even do some vloging just about your family and it would be great fun ....live Billy ...

[@dennydeckerful]

Everyone talks about feeling the presence of Elvis before he enters a room. And his magnetism, did that go away the longer that you knew him?

[@MemphisMafiaKid]

+dennydeckerful It was always there

[@poobum9857]

lovely family 🖖

[@ruthjesse6759]

How old was Billy when Jo, first met. She said she was 14 when they first met. Love the necklaces!!!!!

[@gtorjoepontiac5136]

Keep em coming. The closest I've ever been to the man.

[@justdea5757]

Great video! Billy socks…I love it! Question…Where can I purchase the five plus hour video that is here on You Tube that Billy helped create about the Memphis Mafia?

[@MsCNail-fe1sj]

TY again for the question and answers!

[@bonniebrown6960]

Awww, I love y'all's necklaces that your great grandbaby made for y'all . They are beautiful !! Those grandbabies are so special aren't they ? Thanks for sharing the great stories !!! Y'all always make me laugh !! I could just see Joe sitting there when Elivs came in the room . Honey , I would have been the same way . I wouldn't​ have known what to say either . I'd chicken out . LOL....!! I wanted to ask a question . Danny , did your mama and daddy let you and Joey stay up late at night and listen to Elivs and all of his friends sing when he was at home ?

[@MemphisMafiaKid]

+Bonnie Brown We did stay up late, all night when we were out of school. And yes, we did listen to him sing and were there when he recorded at Graceland.

[@bonniebrown6960]

Memphis Mafia Kid , I bet that was cool ?!! I remember sitting up half the night in our kitchen when I was growing up and listing to some of my family play the guitar and sing too ! That was so much fun , but of course...... we didn't have Elivs like y'all did . LOL !! We just had someone who would mostly sing George Jones song's . It still was fun though . Thanks for answering my question !!

[@shanenorris1983]

I have a question how you all as members of Elvis’ family explain the type of presence that he had. And a second question does Lisa Marie have anything do you any other part you your guys family have you all be back to Graceland now that it’s a museum. If so how does it make you feel to back in the house from the way that it is now.

[@smithsonsmith2575]

Great story

[@carlanelson41]

Love the story on how Jo met Billy

[@elvisman6283]

Hi there brilliant vids please keep them coming if ok can I ask did elvis ever talk about how good his drummer Ronnie tutt was , he must of loved coming on stage to the thunder of Ronnies drums during cc rider thankyou

[@kathrynenderby5997]

I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s I Love 💕 elviss music and flims too my my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis elvis will always be the king 👑 of rock and roll 🎸 3:10pm ps what was elviss favourite drink 🥤 3:18pm

[@markcole4209]

Hey Danny, I'm continuing to love your videos. I have studied Elvis history for sometime from the perspective on many that were there but no one has the inside scoop like your Dad and your family. I have collected a few "original" pieces of E's jewelry and such. Question: Obviously Elvis had tons of Jewelry. Where did he keep it all and how was it kept? Mark

[@davidlunn1608]

Nice,

[@Roxanne_71]

I love you guys!

[@delladawn1149]

Pilamaya. Another great video!! I'm so happy your Mom and Dad are here. And the necklaces are cute!! I have a question about your Dad on the set of Follow That Dream. There's a picture of your Dad dressed like Anne Helm and standing next to her. Was he her stunt double or was he just being silly? Always Live Elvis!!

[@MemphisMafiaKid]

+Delladawn Yes, he was her stunt double

[@markconran6437]

When Elvis made "WILD IN THE COUNTRY". There are great pictures of him playing the piano with Hope Lange. What id like to know is the name of the bald headed fella with glasses with them. Any memories? We think its the soundstage song "Husky Dusky Day".

[@jennifernapoli8172]

Thank you for another great video☺Really enjoy watching them and hearing about your times with Elvis.I've always wondered did Elvis want to marry again after Priscilla?If so, was he planning on marrying Ginger Alden?

[@juliadandry-richards3355]

Billy and Jo how did you know that this was the won. Great couple. Julia Richards

[@gloriae.p.luvr4life394]

You guys are so sweet to mention your necklaces that your great granddaughter made for you. 😊 Quick question, do you guys still talk to Lisa Marie from time to time and if so, do you get to see or talk to her children?

[@MemphisMafiaKid]

+Gloria Ortega No, we haven't talked to her in many years.

[@gloriae.p.luvr4life394]

Memphis Mafia Kid That's too bad. Well, they're missing out because you guys are some really nice people and you all were very important to Elvis. Thanks for answering my question. Keep up the sharing of your videos. I look forward to seeing more. 🙂

[@TENNESSEETORNADO]

Question Danny, I know you came along later in Elvis' life but did he ever speak with you about life things or about a young man growing up? Question for your dad, since you were younger than Elvis, did he do this with you also? He always seemed like he cared for people and knew when they hurt inside...

[@marthahumphrey3849]

I could be wrong but I would think Elvis was seldom around the kids much. If you research Elvis’s tours, he was gone a lot. Plus I think I read where Billy and Jo moved to Tupelo when Billy worked for the railroad.

[@danielfox3199]

Ty for the stories and can u ask you ask billy about the time they flew to have pbandj is that true

[@YouTubeCowboy]

Great story's I would like to know the story of Jerry lee Lewis crashing into the gate at Graceland I have read so many different storys about the incident . How good of friends was Jerry and Elvis?

[@lorrainemckenna5101]

What was the age difference between billy and elvis. Cos they got on so well.

[@familylivingnow2288]

Love your channel. What did your dad do for work once Elvis passed away?

[@MemphisMafiaKid]

+Christopher Hall He went to work at a steel company and has since retired from there.

[@familylivingnow2288]

Memphis Mafia Kid Thank you for answering my question.

[@toddschmidt1256]

Good for him glad he is retired and enjoying life

[@yellyman5483]

Thank you for the videos. I just subscribed. I have a question for Billy Smith. What was his take on Larry Gellar? Larry was very close to Elvis for some years, and it seems to me that he was not very liked by the other Memphis mafia members. Priscilla wrote about that in her book where she said that the other memphis mafia members were jealous at Larry and kind of bullied him. Is that true?

[@ruthjesse6759]

What year in High School was Billy? I love yr stories.

[@E-MATHER]

Jo is awesome

[@markusd.7099]

Thanks for all your stories. I always wondered if Elvis ever swam in his pool when he got a little heavier. When was the last time you went swimming with him? Thanks for your answer. Best regards from Germany, Markus

[@manlystranger4973]

Your stories continue to be great! What was it like to watch three football games at once in the TV room?

[@MemphisMafiaKid]

+Manly Stranger It was really cool.

[@Roxanne_71]

Ms. Jo you're still gorgeous!

[@markcole4209]

Another question: Where was your family when Elvis did "Aloha" in January of 73? Did you watch it from Memphis or were you with him in Hawaii?

[@EAP-TCB]

You guys are the best!Billy,imo you were not only E's cousin but his true BFF..Thank you for sharing these awesome memories with us.Question,are you and Jerry Schilling still in contact with each other?I met him in Vegas a couple yrs ago and he was such a nice guy..Thank you.

[@davidn4613]

My question for Billy would be : towards the end you were the only one along with Jo that Elvis would allow around him . What was the reason for this and did it upset some of the other guys in the group ?

[@abc-wv4in]

If I'm not mistaken, Charlie Hodge was still living on the property, so maybe he did have a few others around? I think his stepbrothers were still around, too.

[@laurathomas3073]

Jo and Billy you are the sweetest and most loving couple I have ever seen! You have two of the nicest sons also! I watch all of MM Kids videos and love hearing your stories about Elvis!! Thank you all for sharing with us fans!!

[@electricgeorge5589]

Thankyou
