Piers Morgan Interview and an Emotional Answer to a Tik Tok

[@Magnusboi]

After 46 long years the emotion of pain still resonates so deeply with Billy & Jo 🙏

[@rainbowbeachsafetysupplies797]

The pain will never go away 😢

[@sandralybrand9425]

Especially when Jo was a good friend to Pricilla and how close Billy was to Elvis! She(Pricilla) tries to erase Billy and Jo but that'll never happen! It was Evil to turn Lisa against her own family! Nothing but jealousy and spite on Pricillas part. I wish Lisa had known how much y'all loved her before she died. I think she really started seeing her mother for what and how she was in the last several years before she died. Pricillas lies and vindictiveness won't stop even in death! I hope they put her out in the pasture if she is buried at Graceland! Let Elvis and Lisa rest in peace, There's no doubt in my mind that Elvis and Lisa wouldn't want Pricilla buried near them.

Billy & Jo I am so grateful that Elvis had you both God bless you all 🥰

I cannot think of any other famous person other than Elvis that the public , including myself, can never get enough of learning everything about them, every aspect of their lives. Your family has handled the public’s inquisitive nature very well. Merry Christmas!

I’m so sorry that you both were brought to having to discuss this. I know it hurts to remember that tragic time. Love you both. ❤

Anyone who has lost someone close to them understands exactly how Mr. Smith felt when Elvis passed.

[@jodyriggs7859]

Elvis didn't want her having friends tho he didn't want her to get close to the guys wives cause she knew to much an he didn't want her telling anything, I like Patsy she was good to Cilla, Elvis was controlling an jealous just saying I love Elvis but I love Priscilla too!❤️

[@jodyriggs7859]

Why didn't you all hate on Cilla when Elvis was alive same with all the mafia guys why didn't they talk about Elvis when he was alive! There words are worse than Cillas my lord so much hate towards Priscilla

The pain that happens to Billy when he talks about Elvis death. And Jo. I feel awful for them. I’m so sorry you all are in so much pain.

I left during "Priscilla" (the movie). The movie was about portraing him as a narcissist all through the movie. She had not ONE positive thing to say about him - BUT want to be buried beside him.

[@HappyFjord-jw9em]

...very contradictory.

[@sandralybrand9425]

That's her final FU to Elvis! She's been pissed off since he died that he left everything to Lisa!

[@odiekarone]

Lisa begged her NOT to release her movie. Good reason too!

[@debbiecourtney6210]

This is the best video you have done in my opinion. Thank you for speaking up about Priscilla and her lies. She has done so much damage to Elvis’s image and made money off of him for way too long. She is a nothing and her name wouldn’t even be known in the world if it wasn’t for Elvis. Her trying to erase everyone from Elvis’s history is just wrong on so many levels. And she definitely doesn’t need to be buried at Graceland. Bless you both & Danielle and have a Merry Christmas 🎄

[@Patracat]

Love this post Debbie, you said it all ❤❤❤❤ Priscilla was the biggest mistake Elvis made in his life, and I am guessing he realised it.

[@geraldineholland6308]

The problem with our human society ( or, is it Western Society) today with the development of communicating beyond our Smoke Signal stage is that lies sell. With technological developments we have become correspondingly more immoral.

[@bonniebrown6960]

I know how that feels too. I'm the same age as Lisa and a year and a half after Elvis passed away...my daddy passed away. I can start talking about it without I start shaking, especially if I tell the whole story. Even still after all these years. My mama told me at first that he was killed in a car wreck, but he wasn't. He was murdered. I pictured what she told me in my mind. She said, his heart hit the stirring wheel and it busted his heart ( which that wasn't true). I knew that wasn't really what happened, but I still had that in my mind. When we got to the funeral home I saw that casket....I didn't even make it to the casket and I lost it. I was only 10 years old. I thought my mama was behind me, but she had stopped to talk to someone, bc there was so many people at the funeral home. When I turned for her to catch me....she wasn't there. I don't remember who caught me, but my legs were like noodles. I was just crying and crying and I needed my mama. I just didn't want to believe it, but there it was.....it wass true. That still bothers me after all these years. It's a long story. But when I think about ya'll losing Elvis....I think about what it was like when I lost my daddy too, so I understand it's a hard thing to talk about. One good thing is we will see them again though. ❤

[@arlenegarza4353]

Scentiology botched everything up. But that said perscilla went against Elvis God Bible truth then went against Elvis demand not to put lisa in that demonic cult. Scentiology doesn't allow you to see real md drs. They had bad experience with non certified fake drs. The bags were toxic. N they had to redue. Lisa passing They pulled plug to early. That's Scentiology. When you get to understand how a cult works its more clear.

He seemed larger than life, he was like a super hero to us and we didn’t think he could die. It hurt us all so much. He was just a man but what a man he was.

[@LindaCarter-m5z]

I could see the pain in your faces. I was 18 when Elvis died and it was a horrific time. All of us fans at the time mourned also. We know the truth because we watch you, Billy and Jo and Memphis Mafia Kid. We don't need to hear anything else. Thanks for discussing these subjects we all of Elvis's fans. It's so important to us all. Love you all!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 26:28

[@tomlivesay8407]

I watched this video through tears. When Elvis passed, I had just turned 16 the month before. His passing hit me very hard, and I have never been able to explain why it hit me so hard all those years ago. All I can come up with is that he was more than just an entertainer. He was always my favorite singer, and I was constantly listening to his music, and still do. However, from that moment on, learning about his life and being able to relate to his life became more important to me than his music, and dang it, I cannot fully explain why. His place in life was one in which no other person had been, in which no other person ever will be, and in which most any man would dream to be. I guess if I can relate to him as a man, his beliefs, even what he ate, how he thought, how he responded to various issues including various temptations, and so on, then maybe its possible for me too to achieve just a fraction of the American dream that he achieved. The more I learn about Elvis, the more I realize that, if I had been in his shoes during this occurrence or that occurrence in his life, then my reaction and response would probably have been exactly the same as his was. I’m a Christian, and I like to think I would have handled temptations differently, but I’m a man too, and I probably would have done the same things Elvis did. I’m a physician, and I’m in private practice. I credit the Lord, hard work, perseverance, and the understanding of my wife and family for my success. However, I also know that having an understanding of Elvis’ life has been a significant and beneficial inspiration for me as well. I know the emotions that you have to relive to do these videos is difficult for you, but maybe this rather lengthy message will help you to understand just how meaningful your videos are to some of us. Thank you, and may God bless you.

Billy and Jo, I have been watching for quite awhile and I want to just say, and this is NOT because you two are related to Elvis and spent many good and some challenging years with him, but I wanted to say the both of you are the most sincere and heart warming people that this country and world needs more of. To have the family bond you have and love you share with us and others is felt tremendously. Let alone having Elvis as a relative, a close relative, is quite a story. The memories, the moments cherished, the special feelings that never die will always be with us, and especially you. Thank you for sharing wonderful thoughts, opinions, and your warm hearts. Happy Holidays and many more healthy years to come to you and yours.

[@Anoula-voliotisa10]

Now sitting here wanting you to feel sorry for them.

Danielle, I can say this about Elvis death, when my husband died I couldn’t figure out how everyone else could just go on and he’s gone and how can anyone be like life goes on. My life did not go on for a long long time. So that’s probably how they feel. We are all in so much pain since Elvis is gone, how does everyone else just go on? How come there lives haven’t stopped too? Mine stopped. Why didn’t their stop too?

[@gracieg7601]

I can hear all the pain in Billy’s and Jo’s voices. It was awful for you all I know. Part of pain I think is when like Jo said hearing his father wailing and crying and others like themselves crying is so painful. I know that’s how I felt when I lost my husband. Part of my pain was seeing his brothers and his mother and all of us who love him in so much pain. It is whst makes me cry harder.

Thank you for sharing this tragic day even though it brings up the devastation of August 16 ❤ I can't imagine your shock at the news after just spending time with a vibrant, happy Elvis 😢 I also recall exactly where I was and dismissing the news as just an Elvis bashing story on the radio. A few hours later I accepted the horrible reality and was shattered that I missed out on coming to America to watch Elvis live 💔 Priscilla is such a disappointment and more and more delusion with her alternate Elvis memories. She does not deserve to be welcomed back / buried Graceland IMO 😡 All the best to you and your family 🙏

I just love you guys so much. You guys are about the only truth left for Elvis' true being, here on earth. When you talk of August 16th & 17th of '77, I see the hurt & hear the pain you still have. Elvis was your life. I started crying, hearing your voices speak of those horrible days. I was 11 when Elvis died, my first emotion was anger when I was told that Elvis died. I lost my dad when I was 5, from suicide. I was already an Elvis fan, & Elvis became my father figure. I never got to see him in concert, though I remember begging to go see him. I was angry at Elvis for "leaving me". For the next few days I was in a haze. All I remember was my mom bought me the "MOODY BLUE" album and people telling me they were sorry that Elvis died. I didn't know if they meant it or if they were making fun of me, because I was always teased for being a Elvis fan. People just don't get how important Elvis was in other people's lives, from his family to his fans. Thank you & your family for sharing the truths of Elvis. PS - I refuse to speak his EX-wife's name anymore. She has done him wrong & shown her true colors! God Bless you all! Merry Christmas!

In almost every interview I have picked up contradictions by Priscilla since Elvis died . Sadly young people know only her side unless they care to dig deeper and realistically most won't. It's a different time and thanks to her endless movies and interviews a picture has been painted of him and it's not a good one. Her jealousy of the love fans had for him and his daughter being so much like him has made her a very bitter woman disguised as an eternally grieving widow. It's sickening the amount of money she's made off his talent by talking out of both sides of her mouth. I believe her daughter saw her for what she was. Vicki

Thank you Billy for mentioning how the fans must have felt when Elvis died. When I saw Jailhouse Rock at the age of 12, that was IT for me. To this day I play Elvis music to get me to sleep. I went to Memphis twice in the late sixties just to try and get a glimpse of Elvis and/or see where he lived. The real fans have been a loyal bunch. I know he wasn’t perfect, who is? But I feel that his generosity overshadows anything anybody could ever criticize him for. I truly believe that Elvis loved and respected his fans. I don’t like to see you Billy and Jo having to keep reliving those memories, specially Billy. Seeing Billy and Jo in tears gets me going. I cried through the whole thing. And for people to say that y’all are just trying to make money off of Elvis just burns me up. True Elvis fans want to hear these stories. You certainly aren’t getting rich doing this channel! Like some others I could mention. Elvis fans WANT this channel because they love Elvis and they love hearing stories about the people who were closest to him and loved him and who he loved. You don’t need to go through all that emotional upheaval and I hope this is the end of it! It’s for Elvis fans ONLY! That’s why it’s called Elvis fans matter because they matter to the Smith family! We love Billy and Jo and their families and enjoy their you tube channels. Sorry for the rant but I saw what answering those questions cost y’all and I just had to speak up.

[@tonyamatthews6226]

I will be forever grateful and honored to meet Yall August although I was on the verge of tears knowing yall's pain is much more intense than mine! I never even got to lay eyes on Elvis in person....but sure do love him and Yall!!!!

[@brendabahn-moore5127]

May God bless y’all. This was a difficult video for you to do. Thank you for sharing with us. Love y’all.

[@DebraBehrens-sn4bi]

This is a hard video to watch! Feel sorry that Billy has to relive that faithful day over and over! What a sad day in history and can’t imagine living through that time after Elvis was gone being so close to Elvis! I can understand how Billy and family would say being at Graceland wasn’t home anymore! The way Elvis past would be too shocking for those close to him! That day went down in history especially the specifics of the timeline before and after Elvis passed! Never completely understood all the speculation that Elvis was still alive and all the conspiracy theories even to this day! People truly emerged themselves in Elvis just because of his life beginning to end and his talent, good looks and his voice which was so unique! Never will be another Elvis and thank you Billy and Jo for sharing Elvis’s life with us and being there for him especially in those final day! What a life you both truly had- can’t imagine! Always TCB Forever⚡️

Thank you Billy , Jo and Danielle for taking the time throughout the years putting smiles sometimes laughter’ and tears but anyway you look at it ‘ya’ll sure are doing a lot of fans and people around the world a wonderful opportunity to know just what a terrific, and talented guy your Cuz Elvis Presley was , l feel so bad for You ‘Billy and Jo right now remembering that day in Aug 1977 it hit the fans bad enough, l could just imagine how much it hurt you , for you were family a very close and special family to Elvis , that’s why it hurts me so for the Smith and Presley families not to share some of the things that belonged to Elvis , especially Graceland should have remained your home l know that’s the way Elvis would have wanted it to be , l am pretty disappointed in Pricilla the way poor Lisa was handled also the way she continues to draw attention to her self and use’s The Presley Name “she darn sure ain’t going take it with her ,”y’all have a wonderful Christmas and New Years you deserve it 🙏💜💜🙏❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🕺🏻🕺🏻

A Lady close to our family died Aug. 16,2021.. her daughter realized it's the same day Elvis died,her Mom's favorite in the world..She said if it had to happen this is the day she'd choosen herself..it give her a small comfort..

[@randomelvis3359]

We must pray for Pricilla and alike… Godless people are in pain and they project their pain in many ways. You guys are filled with the love of God, Elvis is with you every day…. I am so glad he had you both in his life and he shared his last evening/time with you… he had peace in his heart he sang before you, and NO MATTER what is said by anyone…. You both were there at the end. Elvis’ spirit lives in your family….for sure! Merry Christmas to you both and the family!! My best wishes and health for 2024 xxx ⚡️🎄

[@Patracat]

Another lovely post. That is such a nice thought, that Elvis had his nearest and dearest around him before he died.

[@mwknott1]

I cried when I listened to this.i love yall and him. I remember those days so vividly.

[@donnap587]

Girl!…I bout died from laughter when you say Priscilla look like she swallowed the fart😂, I had to pause the video till I got through with the laughter. That was hilarious.

Jo and her gorgeous hair! Luminous

[@jamisongee1176]

Jo your hair is so pretty. I bet Elvis thought you were a doll too but am sure he respected boundaries or he would have had Billy to contend with! He was so lucky to have you two as family who were there from the very start till he met his maker.

[@lisajones-pg5wt]

This time of year is extremely difficult especially as we miss the ones that we love that have passed on😢.... no matter how long it's been it always seems like yesterday there's a hole in our hearts that will never mend but knowing that our loved ones our watching over us until we meet again gives us something to hold on to...hopefully you find comfort in knowing that you all will see that beautiful soul of Elvis again for he loved you just as much as you loved him...God Bless and hope you make wonderful memories with your family this Christmas season❤

[@carolkulczyk2209]

Wow! My tears are flowing. I'm sorry you had to relive that awful day again! Please don't feel you need to explain again. Losing a family member and close friend is devastating and being asked to relive it brings it all back. Billy you and Jo are very gracious. My heart goes out to you. No matter how nosy people are, Danielle, please don't put your grandparents through that again. Love to all of you.

[@joannedeason9632]

So Sorry Billy and Jo .I can Hear the Pain in Your Voice. Sending Love From Georgia....

[@bekyl7761]

Jo, I just love your way of speaking true facts. We all love you all.❤

[@barbaradouglas3643]

I wish you would write a book since you truly knew and loved Elvis and knew his mother.

[@jamesburrows6226]

I know it's hard to relive these memories of Elvis's death but thank you for sharing.

[@CGASongMan]

Hi Billy, Jo & Danielle, this was one of the most if not the most emotional videos i've seen and i've seen all your videos ! When you guys spoke about the day Elvis passed , it brought tears to my eyes!!! Even 46 years later, its still so raw for you all and my heart breaks for you guys! I'm just a fan, and it affects me, but you're all family, and its much harder! - As for Priscilla & the Piers Morgan interview, all i will say is this - its an old saying, people lie so much and for so long, they forget the actual truth! they believe the lies! When i watched that interview and she said about Lisa and telling her about going to gracleand to see her dad etc - i was yelling at the tv , she was there !!! ive known Lisa was at Graceland on the 16th , since at least 1979 when i was 9 years old! But like i said, she has told so many lies over the years, she forgets the truth !! In reality , its qutie sad ! My heart is with you all and i love you 5, and Danny, Teresa, and Joey etc - you guys are part of my family! I say it all the time, i'm coming to Memphis again and when i do, i want to be sure to meet you all ! Love you all !! In case i don't get to say it as this week it will be a bit crazy , i want to wish Billy and Jo , Danielle, Nolan and Laney a very very Merry Christmas and all the very best for a happy healthy 2024 !!! - Charlie ❤❤

Prayers and Merry Christmas

[@eleciatatum678]

Thank you thank you thank you!! I thought I was the only one who thought she contradicted herself!! I am glad to know that you guys are still down to earth!! Much love and respect Smith family!!

[@Nablusof5]

I’m so glad u all and Danny and Teresa r able to spread the truth about Elvis. If it weren’t for the love ppl have for Elvis could u imagine how prissy would have ppl thinking. She needs to go away and take that son of hers with her. Love y’all so much and thanks for the truth. ❤❤

[@mlt3820]

Guys, this one gets me. They all do, but hearing Mrs. Smith, our dear Matriarch, graceful, honest, the best at communicating facts about difficult topics and people. Mr. Smith too. This one is totally special for countless reasons. This will be viewed until Gabriel's Trumpet. Thank You so very much! Danielle has raised the game on here and we appreciate it. Merry Christmas!🎄 ✌️🤟

[@joycebest7423]

Thank you for sharing. I'm sure it's still hard for you to talk about. God bless you all and I pray God helps you get through this. We Elvis fans miss him too. I can't imagine what you're going through. Family is family. I pray you have a Very Merry Christmas. Good memories are good memories. Try to enjoy your precious memories. ❤

[@caroneast]

Thank you so much for sharing such personal memories some of which are obviously upsetting. These talks mean so much to us fans coming from the real family. Wishing you a Merry Christmas from the UK to you all. ❤️🎄

[@MD99DD]

family isn't always blood. she is spoiled brat. never liked her. Riley doesn't know the family history. I dont even think Lisa would agree have her buried there. that her way stay relevant.

[@judyfowler3069]

I will never forget that terrible day either. He took a piece of my heart with him. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@spral2662]

You know the pain and hurt never goes away, regardless of 1 day or 46 years.
