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.

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. ❤

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.

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 🎄

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.

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 🙏

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?

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!

I can honestly see the love that both you and Billy had for Elvis along with the pain even after all of these years of his passing , the pain was written on your faces. Jo wiping her eyes broke my heart and Billy holding the tears back got to me also. I'm not just saying this but you two are such lovely people and so down to earth. I'd would give anything to be able to meet you one day. Hopefully at Elvis week next year.

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

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 ⚡️🎄

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. I could say a lot more but I’ll stop here. Danielle is a sweetheart for all she does to keep this channel and Facebook going. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to your family!

I had a brother that passed away at a Young age also .No one in the family could believe it, He meant everything to all n we couldn't believe he was gone.. Even when we viewed him,it was still unbelievable..I know what your family is going through with These questions on Elvis.. The death of someone so close to us n so big in the lives of all becomes unbearable when they are gone.And our body n mind can't believe they are gone.Danille was correct when she said " Our bodies go through so many emotions..I know fans want to know so much but in this case I just don't feel you need to keep answering that question..Why do ppl keep putting your family through this is beyond me .Thank you Smith family n Have a wonderful Christmas n a beautiful New year ..

I cried through this video. Billy and Jo I'm sorry you had to relive this. The pain on Billy's face was heart breaking. I know exactly how you felt. My dad passed the yr before Elvis. I was 21 and it was the hardest thing I've ever experienced. It was unreal to think he was gone. I feel you pain. Jo! Thank you for stepping up and saying the truth about Priscilla. She is has lived off Elvis far to long and his real fans know it. You two are a ray of sunshine telling us truth about the way it was. Elvis is very proud of you both. Danielle, thanks for another great video. God bless you all ❤❤

Elvis died a year before I was born but I fell in love with him at the age of 5 after seeing him on a vhs video of his 68 comeback special. I cry sometimes when I see his funeral, it’s unexplainable to feel that kind of love for him even though I never got to see him alive. He has been and always will be apart of my life. He was my first love in music and still is! You all have a Merry Christmas. 🎄 ❤

Danielle, Lisa was in Memphis when elvis died but Priscilla & Lisa didn't stay at Graceland after he died, Priscilla said when she was explaining to Lisa about going to Graceland to see Elvis body for the first time, she was telling her that from the hotel down the road from Graceland. Another example of twisting of the words , huh? Just like tiktok twisting Billy's words. Hope this helps ... ask your grandparents if this makes sense now❤

It's too bad you two have to hash through the garbage that's out there. I'm always amazed at the ppl who believe Elvis is still alive. (smh) I'm just a fan, but I do know what a loved one's sudden unexpected death does to you. Jo's right. It feels like someone kicked your feet out from under you. You can't go backward, and you can't go forward. She described it very well. I call it a paralyzing grief. I was just shy of turning 19 when Elvis passed. My brothers and I had grown up listening to Elvis and were fans thanks to our mom. I felt floored, and kept thinking "Elvis CAN'T die!" But, he did. I never knew him, yet he had an impact on my life. Funny how that happens. When I saw his last concert on TV, I cried. He didn't look WELL. Then, when Vernon spoke at the end, you could see and hear the utter gut-wrenching anguish he felt. My heart goes out to all of you. It's been decades now, but you can still go right back to that day, and shed tears. Thank you for sharing your insight with us, and much thanks to Danielle. Merry Christmas to all of you! xoxoxo

I visited my uncle the other day and he has this beautiful glass picture of Elvis that’s about 5 feet X 4 feet wide. It’s Elvis performing the Hawaii special. He’s almost 80 and really sick so I spent a few hours chatting with him. He told me that he thinks Elvis is still alive. I said, “Uncle Dennis, come on are you for real?” He said there was air conditioning in his casket, why would that be? I said, “honestly, I think you read way too many tabloids.” Back then I guess that generation had more trust in journalism and the gutter press where as today we don’t believe a word they tell us. I asked him do you really think Elvis would give up his life, daughter and family, it’s just ridiculous. Thanks for the videos and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year. 🎄

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 ❤❤

Your head and shoulders above priscilla! You're honest, and people see this where every time I hear her, it never sounds genuine. She's made a fortune out of her X husband. Elvis had moved on, and she certainly moved on, but to listen to her, you would think elvis life began and ended with priscilla. I'm sure it didn't. Keep up the great videos. Like, you say a lot of inconsistencies in her stories.

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⚡️
