sonny west meets guests back stage

[@opencurtin]

Sonny lived a wild life with Elvis

[@danielupsdell2697]

All of them did

[@Badfingerbabe777]

Thanks for posting, I just ordered Sonny's book. I did not know he passed . He was so nice and humble, lucky to get to meet him. The little boy was really cute.

[@justdea5757]

Sonny was a great soul! Thanks for sharing this video with us Elvis fans!

[@joanne26]

Hello from England ELVIS died 2 days before my 12th birthday. I have been a FAN ever since. He is my HERO. I know this is a STRONG word to use BUT ITS TRUE. I have been watching lots of videos all about "behind the scenes" and the Elvis "backstory" and i admit i still shed some sad tears but they also make me happy. Sonny was well spoken, kind-hearted and friendly and I guess tell lots of "stories" Like all the other guys in the "memphis mafia" they had known Elvis for many years and they would all have had such life experiences. They were always looking out for Elvis and i hope that he never had any regrets. Why should he, He looked after Elvis. As humans we have to have memories of the good times - that is who we are as people. I know life throws the not so good times at us be we get through them.

Awesome! Thanks for posting!

[@debroy3262]

RIP Sonny❤

[@Mexicanita1904]

Little did Sonny & the rest of the Memphis Mafia know that they became pretty famous themselves by association and how thrilled fans were to meet them. They may be gone but their names are going to go down in Elvis history too. RIP Sonny, Red, Marty, Joe, Alan, Richard, etc...

[@jeremyelmore673]

Hi I'm Jeremy Elmore from Memphis, my daddy knew Sonny.

[@EAP-TCB]

RIP Sonny,I know Elvis was glad to see you and Marty this year.

Elvis was human. I understand totally. YES he was the best friend a song ever had.

[@carolinastorm4019]

Such a humble and sweet man. Love Sonny!

[@donnahawkins6029]

Sunny I don’t know if you remember or not but I was a friend of Elvis‘s when I was little I used to go out to Graceland and spend time with him on the weekends and he used to call me at three and 4 o’clock in the morning to talk to me my name is Donna. I want to tell you thank you for keeping him alive in spirit because I really love that man with all my heart Sonny and you and all the guys really did take good care of him and I thank you for that and I wish you someway I could see you because I’m dealing with stage four cancer right now and I would love to talk to you about Elvis and find out what really happened at the end of his life because I miss him I don’t know if you remember, but I am my mother broke our friendship up. He used to come to Frederick to pick me up and see me and I spend the weekend at Graceland with him and I go to Vegas at his shows. I don’t know if you remember this or not but it’s me and I wanna thank you for everything you have done for him and spend the time that you have spent with him and to keep his memory alive. I love him a lot and I do miss Him.

RIP Sony West GodBless TCB ⚡️⚡️❤️🙏

[@jfkcamelot]

What a genuine nice man Sonny West was. RIP.

[@jesssands5349]

He seemed very approachable like the other Elvis" Memphis Mafia. He was well spoken, warm and similar to Elvis' personality. That he showed concern and hugged the ladies, represents Elvis really well.

[@jpogera9939]

sonny .wow well missed....great story teller

[@myrel543]

He was very hundsome man.

[@kathrynenderby5997]

[@tariqmahmood5312]

thankyaaa very much

[@KeithMiddleton01]

RIP sonny

[@MrJawstherevenge87]

What a gentlemen

[@Mindfultranslations]

I know… I know… Elvis was generous and fun to be around. But the 2 west cousins, and jerry of course… had to be gentlemen of character, virtue and immense patience. Rip all . And thanks for decades of joy and peace.

[@donnahawkins6029]

This might help you remember he told Cell Priscilla to teach me to swim and she did. I don’t know if you remember that or not sunny but I’m the one that used to go out to Graceland on the weekend I was the one who used to call at three and 4 o’clock in the morning and I called Graceland and you wouldn’t answer the phone or you wouldn’t answer his phone and stop and you would tell me where he was that and what he was doing. I just wanna say thank you my love for everything you have done for him and thank you that you have still been doing strong and going strong to let everybody know that he was a good man because he was sunny. He was a real good man.

[@lindaweinstein4846]

RIP Sonny 😇Lots of stories lots of memories and now in heaven with EP 😇❤️Can’t imagine the wild stories ! Is anyone still alive from the Memphis Mafia team ?

[@bradlott9876]

Only Billy Smith is left

[@JMelissaMc]

Jerry Shilling too

[@timchen5299]

Through Sonny West you get to be the closest you can get to Elvis! Awesome!

[@MrMelgibstein]

Alex Swindle at the top of his game.

[@lewhite99]

Sonny was so generous and respectful to everyone. He truly loved people and Elvis

[@donnahawkins6029]

And sunny it’s Donna again I want to let you know I think I told you this when I was young out of all the boys that took care of Elvis and done things for Elvis you were my favorite you bet your butt backwards to take care of him and you were always there when you needed you. You get him at three 4 o’clock in the morning when he couldn’t sleep you’d be there for him and I remember this and I want to tell you thank you and I love you with all my heart, Sonny and I wish you the best my love

[@francoisfavreau769]

@ ajgherts2 ,i have just watch my copy of"Up close and personal Sonny" and i don't have these meet and greet.is it part of a new edition?thank you

[@AFMMarcelD]

After all the negative press this man has had for so many years, I can tell you unequivocally that Mr Sonny West was a genuine wonderful soul that care for others and especially for Elvis more than words can describe, may this gentleman rest in peace.

[@marcellaalfaro8418]

Riccardo Verdecia Sr maybe he was to some but to Elvis 👎 way ! Red & Sonny we’re traitors Judas they did ilegal drugs at least Elvis had medical reasons and were prescribed if he did abuse them so did Sonny and West and why after all Elvis gave them did they turn on him ? Elvis had his dad fired them , because it was costing him millions to settle all the lawsuits against him because of their violent behavior to his fans ! So in revenge they write a book 📚 pretending to say they did to help Elvis stop taking the drugs . That’s a lie it was revenge on their part and everything exaggerated or lies . After Elvis death they felt bad and wrote another book 📚 this time only the good stuff so they continued profiting from Elvis by giving talks so of course now every story was good and funny 😄 but did they knew the pain and suffering they caused Elvis ? The book was released a little before his death 💀! Why inflict so much shame and pain on the most generous person!

[@tanyadavis803]

Rest in peace Sonny. #tanyadavis757

[@mccusa1]

So sad that he's now gone too!

[@maureenmccarthy4204]

I would never have met this man he betrayed elvis

[@leeknievel748]

I would have loved to met this man and just get to know him, not really even talk about Elvis, just get to know him, seems like such a great guy to be friends with

[@tolistolis8277]

I believe sonny real is a good guy,so sad his pass away .

[@suehurwitz1444]

Every

[@ornellabarbaro9419]

Mistakes were made by all. But Red, Sonny and the other one sure made the worst mistake when they wrote Elvis What Happened. 👎👎👎. Rediculous.... Totally.

[@marcellaalfaro8418]

Ornella Barbaro That’s right ! They shouldn’t have written that despicable book 📚 why ? After Elvis gave them so much : cars, jewelry, houses , horses and all their equipment and much more . Why ? And then they still profited from interviews and more books 📚. Sure after he died he only said good stories about Elvis how convenient otherwise they wouldn’t sell anything , Hypocrisy at best .

[@maggieshome]

Elvis gave them his friendship they broke his heart

[@TomSmith-dt4tj]

when and where did this occur?

[@CW-le8wc]

According to Sonny, he and his wife where married 36 years or close to it, when this was filmed. So sometime around 2006.

[@StaceyDMify]

Thank you for sharing this. Sonny West was a good man. The narrow minded fans who dislike him over the book business from years ago are just that, narrow minded morons. RIP Sonny!

[@thomasandersen2938]

I agree sonny and red were great unfairly and people who criticize them have no ideal how they felt what they went throught and I am huge fan of elvis just because he was elvis Presley doesnt mean he was right

[@lynnalvaro1359]

Love to hear about Elvis- seem to be addicted.

[@greggmadsen4622]

Sonny! One of my favorite members of the Memphis Mafia. Wish I could have met him.

[@danielupsdell2697]

Sonny west so nice

[@annamariafacchiano1688]

No comment.

[@puppycat65481]

one of Elvis's life long friends.

[@joannabz]

Please tell me guys, isn't Sonny the one who wrote a book with Red and somebody else in which they were very nasty toward Elvis Presley

[@daveroberts4086]

Yes Sonny Red And Dave The Spy Hebler All Hypocrites Towards Elvis Presley. The Drop Elvis In The Crap 💩.

[@garyhiggins1931]

It most be odd always talking about a man who died over 40 years now. I never thought about it until I watchef this.

[@opencurtin]

The poor kid thinks he's Elvis

[@opencurtin]

Gary's Games Elvis isn’t much of a role model either with his use of drugs and the lengths he’d go to get them, Elvis was no angel , Elvis was a victim of his success once the kid realizes that when he gets older then it’s a good life lesson

[@opencurtin]

Gary's Games I can’t argue with that

[@georgearnold1912]

He looks like the kid out of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie The Terminator

[@garyhiggins1931]

To bad Sonny died broke because of his health and his wife health problems. I think just about all of Elvis real friends died except for Jerry and George I don't count Larry.

[@dougdickason]

I like Sonny but he always defends Colonel, over Elvis more than not too.

[@wandaheard2693]

He hurt Elvis bad and so did Red. But we have to forgive. And that's between them and God. If he asks God to forgive him God did. So who are we not to. But that don't make me like what him and Red did to Elvis

[@dorthyrunion9188]

Wanda Heard

[@wandaheard2693]

+Dorthy Runion Everyone makes mistakes Dorthy . And I hope thier together having a great time all of them. Like the song Dancing in the sky.

[@dougdickason]

Sonny always defends the Colonel, a lot of times over Elvis. I don't understand his loyalty to that crook. I like Sonny, I just wish he didn't like the Colonel.

[@82566]

0:27-0:40 Wasn't that the truth Rip Sonny 🙏

[@joannabz]

What a traitor, and still making money off a dead beautiful soul
