Dick Grob Elvis Head of Security 1967 to 1977 The Spa Guy

[@joanne26]

Hello from England Dick passed away last April 2020. Not many left that knew or "worked with Elvis". We must feel blessed that we have these videos that we can watch for many years to come We cry still over Elvis 44 years on Thank you so much Spa Guy

[@crescencianaticzon7908]

Dick Grob --- Hearing from his interview in '''Denmark, he was a person that is very intellectual, good sense of discipline and vision...he was very professional yet warm, he valued moral constructivity and productivity that someone needs to shower to all, without divisiveness of conduct....he was destined to be one among the few who will define the good in Elvis, he deserve an endless salutation and remembrance.

[@sandramiller8701]

He said he was one GREAT GUY. I believe that. I loved Elvis Presley I believe he was Something Else.

[@cortezibanez3890]

Unlike other guys who jumped in and out, or just joined the tours, Dick was one of the few guys being around Elvis the entire 70’s. Great story teller, RIP

[@chrisrose5740]

This is Amazing!!! Dick should do Consulting with the Current group of Artists getting in fights with fans !!! Elvis' was a class act , cared for his audience!!! I cant stress what a class act the whole Elvis On Tour Folks were !!!

[@freedomatlast8756]

How cool just to meet an Elvis Presley insider ( Dick Grob ) and just have a great interview. 👍👍👍

[@patriciarodas5084]

I am currently reading this book, loved that Mr. Grob provided great detail and support on all his histories. His writing, shows how much the respect he had toward Elvis. I highly recommend this book to anybody that enjoy to learn about Elvis, the human being.

[@suzib777]

You can hear the bugs that you only hear in hot, humid climates...cicadas....that sound reminds me of my grandmother's house in Houston.....Great interview, too!!

[@kelliintexas3575]

As a Houstonian I can verify that 😉

[@steve5ray]

Great interview. Just found out that he passed away a few months ago. How sad. Not many left of the Memphis Mafia. Reminds you how precious life and each day is. RIP Dick Grob.

[@brentcooper4345]

Another great video. Thanks! I got to meet Dick Grob several years ago. Very nice man. I asked him about the filming of "That's The Way It Is". When filming the concerts at the International Hotel, during "Love Me Tender" Elvis jumps off the stage and walked thru the audience, and pandemonium ensues. I asked Dick if Elvis told them ahead of time that he was going to do that. Dick said "Elvis never told us anything he was going to do while on stage, that's why we had to be on our toes and watch him at all times."

[@michaelivey1087]

Mr. Spa Guy! Great piece of Elvis history with Mr. Grob. I just think it is so nice of Mr. Grob to say he has nothing bad to say about Elvis! I find it incredible that everyone says nothing but good things about Elvis! Just very, very nice! And the speaking about the funeral, very sad but ...... Thank You again for tightening us up!!!

An other lovely person Dick with some wonderful stories, thankyou spa guy just great God bless

[@joeymac3777]

I remember watching this when you first put it up. Dick, sadly is now also gone. Man, they're getting fewer and fewer! It's bound to happen as people get older, but damn man. Pretty soon, there won't be anybody left from Elvis' inner circle who truly knew him. Thank you for doing these videos Billy. For people like me who can't make it to Memphis regularly and meet all these people, these videos are good documentation. I always look forward to your videos Billy! Keep tightening up!

[@rodneyf8949]

Enjoyed watching this again and so sad to hear about Dick passing away. So glad you got to interview him while he was with us. We are losing most of the people that were closest to Elvis. That's why what you're doing is so important and appreciated. Once these people are gone, all the history is gone and well. So glad you have been able to uncover a lot of it for us thru all these great interviews!!

[@John-dt4bi]

This is amazing! Great job, Spa Guy. We are losing too many of these guys who were at Elvis' side and experienced it all. Thanks again Spy guy. Really enjoy and appreciated what you do..

[@sandralybrand9407]

I love Dick Grob! I saw an extended interview with him and it was very inciteful! Billy if you want to see the interview with Dick you can find it on an app called Ostiysk tv it's called A Talk About Elvis. He talks about Elvis always putting his security through their paces and slipping off by himself. They would panic and go out looking for him!

[@sandralybrand9407]

I watched that same interview. Dick is a great guy!

[@jeanspeer4053]

Love all you do! Just found you today and have been binge watching! My high school best friend and I met the day Elvis died and were talking about that day and how we bonded. I was 16 she was 17.

Another top quality post. Well done. I met Dick Grob in Beale Street one night in about 2004. What a really nice guy he is. Wouldn't want to mess with him though.

[@MrDutchman100]

I never got to see Elvis I was too young but if I ever get the chance to go back in time I’m going to save his life

[@SteveFBS]

Simply amazing. We finally have a real explanation for that photo that's puzzled us fans for years. Thank you!

[@michaelgordon3214]

Spa Guy , Although I was a life long friend of J.D.Sumner and all of the Stamps Quartet , I only met Elvis once , If people know what a '' Meet and Greet '' is , It's barley enough time to say your name and introduce yourself, Maybe get an autograph . Thank You for documenting all of these people that were important to Elvis and the show, Yet you would not know of them unless you where looking ! What you do is SO important !

[@braddarnell2498]

I loved the happenstance meeting with Dick Grob. Man Grob seems like a kewl guy id love to sit and talk to him for 30 min.

Thanks so much, Spa Guy and Dick Grob...

Dick is one of the few we rarely hear from. Only other time I've heard him in an interview was on the E True Hollywood Story "The Last Days of Elvis" in 1999

[@jaysterb1]

Awesome and what a class act.

[@OutandAboutwithCraig]

G’day Spa Guy, thanks again for this fantastic interview with Dick. It’s always very fascinating listening to all the stories from people that new or who were associated with Elvis🕺. It’s also awesome that some of these people like Dick publish a book sharing the personal times and stories they had with the King. Cheers from Perth, Australia 🇦🇺 Craig

I take it leasing options weren’t around then. “18 cars for the 15 he turned in”. Love the cover of this book . Btw , why don’t any of these guys offer the books on kdp (dot) com . You have the option to upload a pdf and you can sell your book ebook style or physical copy on amazon . Just a suggestion , I saw a recent interview you did that required emailing the person . Maybe a easier platform would be kdp. Plus it’s print by order or a small fee to store at amazon .
