[@allanknowles1369]

What a lovely story. Gene seems to be the nicest fella and one of Elvis’s biggest fans. Alway makes me smile when I see Elvis stories like this one. As always billy nailed it again.

[@fcontitwo]

Couldn’t of choose two more guys deserving of this Honor .✨🌿😎👍🏼

[@rwieber79]

What a great story, and now once again Elvis has brought people together that will surely become lifelong friends from now on and he wasnt even there for it. Just the Elvis effect at work again. Truly amazing to see.

[@starlitekaraoke113]

Love the whole Southern Gentleman persona. I try everyday to emulate this. Thanks for the life lessons! Great video. Both men are awesome.

[@alryan8609]

Great video billy , really enjoyed it .

[@terihandrick2333]

I can only imagine that Mr Autry was so thrilled to have that badge in his hand again after all these years. How kind of you to put these two gentlemen together that truly loved Elvis and share the story with us.

[@wendyherring1484]

Love all your videos sharing all the Elvis Presley . Just wow. 💝💗❤

[@edselman58]

Well Spa Guy,you hit another one out of the ball park.That badge is yet another piece of the puzzle.You can see in their faces the respect and admiration they have for not just Elvis but to each other.I think Tom got a kick from Gene about that story of how he met Elvis.Gene's face lights up like a Christmas tree! What a humble man.Made my day and wish I could shake their hands.My hats off to you Billy,thank you sir!

[@clifffor1179]

What a heartwarming end to the story. Beautiful :)

[@beehappy3209]

Smiles all around.... loved how they both did the photo scene again. Brilliant SpaGuy

[@johnkent6572]

Spa Guy.I bet you Elvis is looking down smiling,and saying there's my badge!

[@alphacharlie65ms]

Gene deserves the badge. I hope this guy sells it to him.

[@miamimermaid]

I smiled the whole way through that. If I owned that badge I would give it to Gene. It means so much to him, he should have it.

[@alicemilling3706]

Cant help but smile at these two men they are truly awsome, The fellowship and respect they have for Elvis very heartfelt Billy this is really great I appreciate you bringing these stories to us fans ...this is something we never would have gotten to know or see if not for the technology we have today, back in the 60 s and 70s even 80s wasnt posible but now thanks to you and people who knew Elvis we have a greater understanding of the man and not just the superstar thank Billy 😀👍❤

[@lynneaspden8691]

So Beautiful xx

[@robertkywildcats9266]

Gene's jacket tightened up. This video made me happy.

[@susanstrozi2158]

Your videos about our Elvis make us so happy Mr. Billy! Thank you so much! This was wonderful!

[@epfanatic8170]

So cool how you guys all reenacted the photo. 😊❤️

[@gemijamz8055]

Another great story Spa Guy. Thank you! Hopefully one day Gene can get that badge.

[@tupelomiss8315]

[@NuffinEdited]

Simply Beautiful to see real honest down to earth people.

[@BobbyWParkerJr]

You guys are such geeks. I love it!

[@SpaGuy]

Indeed!!

[@jansorensen]

Thanks for sharing Billy .Phenomenal story absolutely fantastic amazing truly story just uplifting to see how happy these two guys are.

[@davidrixson3171]

Awesome reunion with the badge after 48 years! and that jacket still looks good on Gene if a little tight lol.

[@georgiapeach8866]

I was honored to be able to hold it. Thank you Tom Salva and Billy . Mr. Gene is a treasure.

[@karenbavington1870]

So exciting my friend Spa Guy. I want to come and hold Gene with my hand on his shoulder while he wore his suit. Even in normal clothes. Gene is such a sweet loving person. Always smiling and so excited he visited Elvis in Graceland. Who wouldn’t ? I think I told you I would melt to the ground. Even now watching Elvis videos etc. I could feel the love between us. Thanks to Tom too. He is such a nice gentleman and listened patiently to Gene while he explained about his visit with Elvis. Most of all thanks to you for bringing us altogether. Once again, thanks Tom, Gene and my friend Spa Guy. We all love Elvis. 🙏🏼❤️🕺🏻💕

[@mikebryant8498]

I have never seen anybody as happy as Gene Autry Turner always is when he is talking about Elvis. I really wish Elvis had given him a gift. Billy, as always you have really "Tightened Up" here my friend. God bless you !

[@Taivenmartin15]

In a way Elvis did, he spent over 2 hours with Gene, there is only a handful of people on this planet that can say they spent that much time one on one with the King! It would have been great if he had gotten a scarf!

[@myelvischannel1992]

In 71 although Elvis wore scarfs on stage he didn't give meny away. That came a few years later when he would give loads away at a concert, so he wouldn't think about giving him a scaf. But I think that photo with Elvis would mean more to him than anything else.

[@sandramillett8267]

Well Gene you are now as famous as the man himself. Bless you. Tears of joy are filling my eyes. Thanks For Sharing

[@colleenlong2204]

Fantastic! Thank you Billy! I really enjoyed watching this video! Great memories for everyone!

[@NOVEMBER5TH2024]

That was lots of fun, great job Spa Guy. Its amazing how Elvis had such a impact on people's lives. Gene is very fortunate.

[@myelvischannel1992]

Kept his eye on the badge all the time so proud and a fantastic memory to have. What a great guy. Thanks spa guy

[@sammy5714]

[@leewade4304]

Another good 2 part, ole gene didn’t want to turn lose of that badge. Lol. Nice guys. Good job spa guy

[@jmf2471]

Gene is so sweet. I think we shocked him at Marlowe's when we went up to him and said we saw him on your video and that he was "famous" . He was very excited about that. Billy, you have brought this man a lot of joy. God Bless you. We were introduced to Meka, she was so sweet (& a firm handshake) to bring him to Elvis Con. Bless them both!

[@mekamathews8821]

jmf2471 yes you did!!! He loved that!!!

[@jmf2471]

@@mekamathews8821 It was such a pleasure meeting you that day. As well as, kind of you to bring Gene to Elvis week and give us the opportunity to speak with him. God Bless and have an awesome weekend.

[@mekamathews8821]

jmf2471 y’all were so kind to him! It made his day even more special!!! 💗

[@garynicholson8004]

What a very special person Elvis was.....just to touch something that he touched and meet someone that he knew is a thrill....Thanks for the great video . I am still thinking He should have given Gene the badge ....

[@georgiapeach2488]

Billy, this is an unbelievable video, absolutely incredible! There is such a "feel" of ELVIS as you watch what was being shared between Gene and Tom, as well as you and everyone else who was there to celebrate the reunion! I believe that this is one of your very best videos......so heartwarming. The spirit of Elvis is all in this story and the video! Thanks SO MUCH!!!

[@marthaslaughter5406]

Thanks for the video

[@caseymanuel7199]

And the spa guy strikes again! I am home with a sick kid and this made the day better! Thank you. Love it!

[@n4pwx]

Great video Billy I truly loved it. Keep up the wonderful Elvis videos. Take care my friend.

[@kmpsja]

What a sweet man. This man is an amazing Elvis fan. He makes me happy every time I see him, he just radiates happiness and joy. Thank you for introducing us to Gene Autry Turner. God Bless

[@ruthfeeney9441]

Great story Billy the badge means a lot to these guys

[@bonniebarnett7202]

Hi Billy 😊, Incredible, very happy for all who had a part in this, loved the Smiles 😀❤️, and so glad I got to see it! Thank you so much Billy 😊! Your friend Bonnie

[@chrispatterson4993]

Wow I loved this video Billy! Your investigative reporting of Elvis history is simply the best there is. I think this is now one of my favorite videos!

[@manlystranger4973]

Spa Guy - I have been faithfully watching your Elvis videos since you began posting. You have progressed from photo match-ups of Elvis locations (which are an incredible method of discovering and recording history) to sharing Elvis stories which can not be found in any book or TV special (some of which were documented in the nick of time) to being a catalyst for new Elvis stories which are happening today and shed light on Elvis history (such as this video). I am not aware of anyone else doing what you are doing in the video arena. Your product has evolved beyond fandom to rival the books of the best Elvis authors. On top of all this, you are touching people's hearts in a fashion resembling Elvis. Keep up the great work!

[@SpaGuy]

I count it an Honor to do this and cannot believe I am even involved..

[@imaculadaconceicao6892]

Que lindo! Guardou o terno do dia do grande evento. Grande lembrança de Elvis Presley. So love. So beautiful. So much! Thank you. Só que o terno não serve mais!

[@exdus235]

👋😊🇺🇸

[@JWalshMovies]

I just caught myself grinning for the last 16mins 40secs. This was so awesome! The JACKET too!! Lol so great!!!!

[@eliflores3205]

What a gentlemen Mr Gene Autry, very cool..

[@dawnsawyer4275]

Great story !!! I really enjoyed this video . What wonderful memories these men have of Elvis .Thank you Billy

[@demc7943]

wow best one yet

[@_CoolHandLuke_]

Gene needs that Badge...

[@toddhensley880]

I wish that badge was on display with the picture of Gene and Elvis and the story behind it.

[@conniepresley7601]

Awesome!! I can see that ment a lot to both of them guys!!

[@freetob1]

Wow!!! The pics at the end were adorable with everyone holding the badge LOL. I am so happy for them to have met for the uniting of the badge. Exciting times for Gene back then for sure!!! Tom salva it is obvious what a huge fan you are as well. Sending love and smiles tonight. God Bless You All !!!

[@tcbmike4926]

I know I say this a lot but you do the absolute best Elvis videos bar none. Phenomenal story absolutely fantastic. Your the best Billy and thank you for all the time you put into these video's. 👍

[@donnahill8403]

Wow! That was so exciting and wonderful to see this badge . You can see how much it meant to Mr. Tom to own this badge and Mr. Gene to see & hold it after such a long time. I am sure that if Mr. Gene lives to be 100, he will never forget this moment. Thanks to Mr. Tom for taking such great care of the badge for all those years and for Mr. Gene for presenting this badge to Elvis on that special day. ☺ Thanks to Spa Guy for filming this awesome moment and for sharing, this wonderful piece of Elvis History. I have learned so much about Elvis and his life from you; it is so incredible how much time you have and knowing just were to search and go to and interview many people to get all the wonderful information to share with everyone. I always appreciate you hard work and dedication to make all this happen. Thanks for being so devoted to our "One And Only, Elvis Presley. Have a blessed day.😇 Thanks for both , part 1 & 2.

[@jitterbug121]

such nice people all of them

[@wholderby]

To me this seems like a shame that it was lost by Elvis in a motel room and not part of the Graceland archives but it is very nice that it was collected and treasured by real fans....

[@SpaGuy]

Archives has plenty of stuff..

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

That's a great story thanks Billy.

[@ziviaantjeverharius6165]

2 part video's, 2 times fun

[@bethgillikin3691]

Got to say another gold 🌟 You keep um coming y'all Spa Guy love the journey you are on.

[@RaidenBloxx]

Simply loved these 2 parts, and the previous video. Gene comes across a lovely kind gentle man. God love him. Thank you spa guy for introducing us to him ❤

[@dabomb9291]

Aloha from Hawaii This was an incredible video. Thank you billy. I love Gene he is so cute. I love how he lights up talking about Elvis. When did he leave it at the hotel under the pillow the year? Cause my theory is he cherished it so much depending on what year it was left at the hotel and what he was going thru he looked at that night and remember where he came from and how far he come in life and was so happy he received it from his home town. It w As very special for him. Gene is very important time in history. I really want to meet you. What bothered me is who ever they talk to said to keep it. Why the hell did they not ask Elvis or just get it back. Most importantly they were not doing there jobs. After a while he was taking care of people who not taking care of him. Anyways thank you so much for the memories and touching story. Much mahalos 🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿aloha Puahone🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

[@dinshawpocha4882]

Just seen both parts of this remarkable reunion I was imagining if I spent two hours with Elvis in Graceland like Gene I would never stop asking Elvis about his career!! I think he would be begging me to leave quickly!! Fantastic video.

[@GClooney17]

HI Spa Guy the Jacket the two hours Plus Gene spent with Elvis Priceless. What else can I say your Elvis stories keep on getting better Keep up the great work. Enjoy your Labor Day weekend. Joseph from NJ.....

Bless you!!!!!!!!!

[@conrad6302]

Well done for making that happen. Made lots of people very happy

[@petesscrapheapgarage3130]

((😳)) now that’s what you call all things of a story coming full circle.. and Gene Autry has the same Theories about numbers as I do ... 7-1-1971 when presented the badge to Elvis how strangely amazing is that .. at 17yo in 1977 Ive Purchased a used 1956 Chevy truck that I still have today .. and oddly after all the years I got the chance to go see Graceland in 2016 at Age 56yo .. and so that’s what I think about you Billy something’s putting a lot of positive Energy in you doing such a good job .. your bringing a lot of truth to the table bringing it all full circle .. I believe it was your calling southern brother ✌🏻
