The Man Who Said Elvis Has Left The Building Al Dvorin Killed In Wreck Rick Crofts Tells Story

[@headspace8338]

What a great story! Recently, I adopted a stray kitten and just started calling him Elvis. Needless to say, the receptionist at the vet got a chuckle out of that when I called to make his first appointment. Upon picking him up, the tech that brought him out from the back loudly and proudly stopped and stated, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building!” Got a big kick out of that especially because the girl was relatively young, how cool is that?

Thank you Spa Guy for researching Al Dvorin and his importance in the Elvis story. Doesn't get more significant than "Elvis has left the building" announcement!

Love the story Rick told about Al's exit speech the night Elvis played Mid South Coliseum. Smart that he wrote down on paper about his time spent with Al. Great video.

[@kennyg63]

Thank you for sharing this. This guy seems so genuine and nice. Great hearing about his experience with Al.

[@TheElvisWorkshop]

Thank you.

[@carolm3055]

Great video! So sad that Al left this earth in a car accident!! I saw Elvis in 1970 in Las Vegas and at the Long Beach area. It's fun to hear his stories! We would not know this, unless people like you love to research!! Very appreciated!!🥰

[@deehickman6417]

Amazing story shared by Rick! I now know who that famous voice belonged to, may he rest in peace. I get goosebumps just thinking about all the excitement that surrounded that one statement! You find the pieces that no one else thinks of and all your videos are interesting, Elvis related or not. Benjamin Franklin's grave is just an example...they are all appreciated!

Everyday is an Elvis day ☘🇮🇪🇺🇸🎸

[@carolewainwright2509]

Such a great story. Al had quite a distinctive voice, it sounds like he was a very interesting man. So sad that he died in a car crash poor man. Thanks Billy.

Great video Billy and Trey....You are always finding new things about Elvis. This is why we love your videos. Thank you! I was wondering who it was going to be after the live stream yesterday.

I remember when he passed away. Really awful that happened. Seemed like an interesting man. Wish we still had him around. ⚡TCB

[@davidwelker4172]

Great video, as always! I've been watching you for a couple of years now and have learned so much. My interest in Elvis began in the early 80's, when as a young boy, my family visited Graceland. I have a picture of me sitting in Elvis's pink jeep from Blue Hawaii. Billy, I'm a Christian as well (I pastor a small church in rural central Ohio). I appreciate how your Christian values comes through in the work that you do. Thank you!

[@SpaGuy]

Thank You for the encouragement David!! Nothing more important than Jesus!!

[@waylonvids]

David I'm one of those kids growing up in the 80s who had his photo taken in that pink Jeep as well!

Another great video Billy! Great to hear a story about Al. When I watch the video of Al and the TCB gang I always think how he showed his enjoyment being included with these key people of Elvis to be fortunate to make a video with them. Thank you Richard for sharing!

My Mom saw Elvis in 70 or 71 in Tampa and she recorded it with a tape recorder in her purse and the concession was interesting you can hear him say “Elvis buttons, posters, everyone wants an Elvis poster available in the lobby” very interesting to hear a snippet of the pre- concert merch sales. Sadly that tape gave out before we could digitally copy it……it was his voice for sure on her tape.

[@LisaRobinson0725]

Thank you! Fantastic and insightful interview!🤗

[@Guitarwizzard1833]

Al Dvorin. That iconic voice will always ring true. On the CBS TV special from the last tour in June of 1977, we can hear Ed Hill of The Stamps Quartet saying that famous line…"Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building. Thank you and goodnight! We'd like to remind you following this concert the Elvis super souvenir concession stand will be open for a short while." Al Dvorin was there…I have often wondered why Ed Hill took over the duties that night?

Thank you spa and trey wow use to hear his voise . From Sydney Australia . I like to say Rest in peace Al Dvonn 🌹

[@stamps77]

The last recording I could find of Al saying Elvis has Left the Building was St. Louis on 3/22/76. After that, it seemed to be Ed Hill from the Stamps. Now, that may not be 100% of the time...I asked Sam Thompson about this during Tribute Week and he believes that while Ed Hill did it most of the time from April '76 until the end, Al could have still said it from time to time. I've been going through my tape and CD collection of soundboards and audience recordings to find out more about this.
