Elvis Presley Bodyguard Sam Thompson The Spa Guy Part #1 of 2

[@banjopaul6551]

Houses, cars, motorcycle’s, paying medical bills, charities, money, jewellery and so on - it’s no surprise that Elvis didn’t have much money in the pot when he passed. He gave it all away and not squandered on himself and he worked hard for it! That’s one of the many reasons we love him - a Great Humanitarian & philanthropist! Thanks Sir Billy 😇 & Sam! Great stories and insight.

[@chrisrose5740]

Buying a person a car is Incredible!!! Buying a person a House is Love !!! It gives stability, to that person as far as Financial Mental, Sense of Wellbeing, etc. Elvis Presley was Super Human !!!

[@caroldavis2363]

What a wonderful person Elvis was! So kind and giving. ☺️💜

[@TeeVeeZed123]

What a down to earth fellow Sam Thompson is, great stories with no bragging on himself or exaggeration, just honest recounting of his experiences.👍🏻

[@mekamathews8821]

Yet another wonderful video,Billy!! Thank you Judge Thompson!!! Wonderful Elvis stories!!!

[@ricknardone278]

Wow image being on the back of a motorcycle with Elvis... now that's a memory. What a generous humble man Elvis was... He was a true LEGEND! Another great video Spa Man.

[@cathleenbodiker9292]

Thanks to Sam for memories he could share. Elvis will never die in our hearts.

Wow! Best video yet! I got teary-eyed when Elvis gave homes to people. Chills, too. Thank you for this. I was only 9yo when Elvis passed but my parents made me a fan of his.

[@beehappy3209]

Elvis was so generous in life. Wish alot more people was like it. Glad you got to meet him Spa Guy 👍

[@JesusLives8718]

Elvis's generosity knows no bounds. What a privilege for those people to have known Elvis. Elvis brightened everybody's life who he came in contact with. Not only that, he brightens my day today and every day because I have lots of pictures of him on the walls of my house.

[@davidmoore2325]

Hi dear,i hope your doing good?

[@_CoolHandLuke_]

Ive watched and read ALOT about Sam and Linda. They are wonderful people and are very down to earth. They seemed to me like they genuinely loved Elvis, just like Billy and Jo smith. That speaks novels to me. God bless Sam for doing this and God bless you Spa Guy for bringing it to us. Cant wait for part two! Thanks brother!

[@exdus235]

Decent man. Respectful interview. A living archive.

[@michelletimmons2824]

Another great interview! What a genuine nice guy..so down to earth... Can’t help but wonder if Linda and Elvis married if he’d still be here today... She was so good for him...She loved Elvis the man not the Image...!

[@mosoofi9903]

yes linda was traded in for ging 8 years her junior

[@rebeccarobbins6558]

Yes I wish they would have married, but she I read where she left, because he almost shot her by accident so she left!!! She was with him both times he overdosed and held his hand when he had to be put into a medical coma to save him. If he had been able to kick the drugs that the war got him hooked on things would have turned out differently. You could tell how much she really loved him, but his one true love I believe was Ann and it haunted him after he lost her. So sad!!!!

[@tp5776]

I can relate to Elvis giving. I came up very poor in Mississippi myself. I’m a giver. No where near the giver Elvis was. But I’ve bought several cars for others, iPods for my friends, a battery or whatever for a stranger, things like that. Receiving for me is 100% about the thought. Giving brings me far more pleasure. What can be more pleasurable than sharing with someone you want to share with? I’ve always thought the biggest MISS with Elvis legacy is his generosity, I understand Elvis is still donating to charities and that is a wonderful and right thing to do. But they should give a car away here and there, even a house. I think he would have felt this to be the greatest honor, probably second to impersonators. Thanks Mr Thompson for having great conversation with Billy. Best wishes to you and yours.

[@brendabooher6683]

I totally agree with you.

[@ERINLOVE2024]

Me too. I think the biggest givers in life are people that have gonr without. It hurts to think of someone going through the same thing.. God Bless you

Another great detailed interview SG, & Thanks to Mr Sam for taking the time to tell these stories. Wow,,this really puts into perspective how generous Elvis was. As many have said in past videos of yours,,Elvis REALLY did think of others before he thought of himself. Very few human being on Earth like this,,especially in these modern times. Keep these great Elvis pieces of the puzzle rollin SG.

[@myelvischannel1992]

Now that's what I call a fantastic interview. What a great guy and so talkative . The storys he had well what can you say. So different to the David Briggs interview. Really enjoyed that one. Brilliant

[@msr1116]

I get the feeling Elvis made David Briggs' life very uncomfortable , upon discovering that a member of his band was involved in a dalliance with his girl. Either David is a super private person or he was shaken to core by Elvis or the MM.

[@ladybug6005]

I love listening to these stories about Elvis Presley. All these people have their own personal experience and willing to share with us. Thanks so much.

[@justdea5757]

Good to see Sam again. Love his stories! Sam hasn't aged at all from the last time I saw him. Thanks Billy!

Wow Elvis was truly something. What a legend! I could listen to these stories all day. Thank you soooo much for this! 40 sec rule. Wow how cool !! 🖤⚡

[@jessiem276]

Just when I thought I'd heard ALL of the stories about what a generous, kind hearted person Elvis was. I bet there's thousands more and many of the people who could have told you much more...have already passed away. Linda's brother is such a nice guy. I'm so glad you did this interview with him. Thanks, for all you do, Spa Guy! God bless you 💙

[@johneli495]

Seems Elvis made sure everyone around him was taken care of. What a human being

[@desolationangel5136]

Very interesting to hear Sam tell how much Elvis' glaucoma affected him on stage. People talk about his other ailments but don't mention the glaucoma often.

[@traceychallenor5469]

Once again another fantastic interview, Spa guy you are awesome, if not for all the effort you and those who assist you do, we would never hear these authentic and varied stories, so very refreshing from the constant recycled Elvis trivia. Love it.

This story and many others about Elvis, just shows how wonderful and caring person Elvis was to all he knew. It would be so awesome just to be able to be in a room that Elvis stood in and just stand in that same spot. If I could have actually been to one of his concerts; what a feeling that would have been. Great work, and bless you and Lorie. Sorry if I spelled her name wrong.☺😯

[@joanne26]

Hello from England. We are so blessed that we have the technology now with the likes of KZbin and people who as fans of Elvis are able to post all the AMAZING videos. Elvis will always "LIVE ON" because of people like Sam Thompson, brother of Linda who can talk about his Elvis years in the early 70's and what wonderful memories he will have always. He was so lucky and i might add privileged. I was only 12 when Elvis died but as a kid i would listen to him sing on the radio more than the TV. Elvis was truly a "ONE OFF" normal human being and he was generous to the end. By this time he was already famous but he was just very giving of himself and his money.

[@peggysuedavis4107]

Elvis had to have a good sense about people. Most of the people he was around are still good people today. Like Sam Thompson, Linda Thompson, Ann Margrett & so many more. Spa Guy really enjoyed this interview a lot. Keep them coming.

This is really great material, so informative. You've really cast a net over so many key players in the King's life. With a screen play and a good editor you could put together a movie for Main stream media. A grass roots narrative that lets his fans get up close & personal. Has there ever been a more generous man than Elvis Presley ? Crowd Fund the production costs. The impact of Elvis is such that he has fans not yet even born.

Another great interview Spa Guy.. Nice to see that Elvis was taken well care of by Sam.. It's sad that Elvis could not really go out as a normal person.. It is unfortunate that society puts pressure on celebrities to be something they are not... almost like gods when they are just really human beings, some with a great talent and good heart and very giving like in Elvis Presley's case. Elvis was one of a kind and loved by so many, no doubt about that...

Great interview. Good that Elvis had quality friends like Sam. Sam treated Elvis good & Elvis treated Sam good too. Being on the back of a bike with Elvis driving...100 mph . That would freak me out no matter whose driving. Your right Sam motor bikes are dangerous ..you investigated accidents & you saw the injuries/deaths I assume. Great that you talk about singing gospel late with Elvis. To your family & Linda all the best & keep the faith. Lord is coming back sooner than later by the signs of the times. Heard that home recording on the internet radio just a week ago. Elvis starts off saying he wrote this poem. Ha !

Always wondered about the fingers/hand movements pointing to the side. Then he went that direction. Nice to know what it was all about. I knew they had a time limit to get him out fast. That he had glycoma & blinded by the stage lights & flash bulbs. So he needed light & Joe to see to get down steps. Yet those hand movements & moving off stage sideways always had me wondering. Amazing to know now!

Great interview, and thanks Sam Thompson for agreeing to the interview. Here's the poem as I found it (or a couple of versions of it, lol). I don't know which version Elvis might have told Mr. Thompson, but here's what I found, take care brother and YHVH bless. 'so, more than 10 years later.... I have tracked down the original version of this poem.... ' "The Robin" Older than dirt poem, but my #2 favorite of all time. "The Robin" I woke early one morning, the earth lay cool and still when suddenly a tiny bird perched on my window sill. He sang a song so lovely so carefree and so gay, that slowly all my troubles began to slip away. He sang of far off places of laughter and of fun, It seemed his very trilling, brought up the morning sun. I stirred beneath the covers crept slowly out of bed, and swiftly shut the window and crushed his f***ing head. And number two.... DESTINY OF A BLACKBIRD It was a beautiful day The sun had shone Not a dark cloud in the sky I awakened with a smile I felt like I was high I rose from my bed And glanced around It was the start of a fantastic day The feeling went through me like a lightning bolt How I love the month of May I put on my socks Slipped on my robe Then glanced to my right Where I noticed a beautiful blackbird With wings as dark as the night He was sitting on my windowsill Curiously looking in So I calmly motioned back to him With wide eyes and a grin. I slowly pet the little fellow Then got up off my bed. And quickly pulled the window down And smashed his f***ing head.
