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

[@ColinPfc]

My mum was so lucky she was front row at Elvis last concert at Market Square Arena, she was given a towel that was wrapped around Elvis neck. She passed away in 2009 and the towel went with her when she was cremated, it was a nice way for Mum to go knowing that a bit of her hero was with her. Great video thank you.

[@joharris3415]

I could listen to him tell stories about Elvis all day. His love for Elvis brought me to tears. Thank you so much Spa Guy for sharing your love of Elvis by making these videos. I love hearing new stories about Elvis

[@vevallygarrett1744]

As usual Elvis had a heart of gold, and he always got joy from giving to everyone. This meant so much to Elvis. God made Elvis this way. We will always remember you and Love You Elvis. God truly blessed him and us, by him being here. Love You, Ann Garrett

[@sherlshirley5713]

Me too!!!

[@Luanne21]

Thank you for bringing us Sams words. As I have told you before, I saw Elvis in concert in Atlanta in 1977. People were angry for the bad performance, but I was sad. I could see a man on stage who was very sick. Of course most of us had never heard of the drug addiction, so I saw sickness. Here was a man trying to perform, who should have been in a hospital. Sam makes it even more clear. Maybe in that hour, I knew Elvis as the man, and not the singer. Thank you again Billy. You once again brought us a piece of the man.

[@kipshondel3868]

Thank you Billy the Spa Guy. You open so many doors for Elvis fans and I give you mad props.

[@dianarenee2281]

You've conducted a lot of interviews, Spa Guy, but this one is undoubtedly my favorite! Sam is such a pleasant, genuine and likeable gentleman. Wonderful stories! Thank you Sam for sharing about your time with Elvis!

[@gracieg7601]

Linda’s brother! Both of them southern nice sweet classy people!

[@billyharper7328]

In my opinion. One of your very best interviews.Thanks spa guy!!!!😀

[@carolinalambert1950]

Thanks million times Spa Guy for your respectful moments telling and showing us where and what like with Elvis,and also thank you so much MR.Thompson.for the precious story and moments long time ago with te most iconic ,super,talented,humble,generosity, etc,the only man,Elvis Presley.

[@peadarmacconnmhaigh4337]

He comes across as an honest and humble gentleman. Thank you Spa Guy for taking the time to do this.

[@bethgillikin3691]

Such a nice southern gentleman. Elvis touched a lot of lives and Sam was one of them along with his sister. Spa guy you get 10 gold 🌟. Thanks y'all keep um coming.

[@mekamathews8821]

That was AMAZING! That man loved Elvis!! Not the entertainer but the man!!! That was so wonderful that he brought that out!! I know as a fan I forget that Elvis was a MAN. He had feelings, he had a heart and he wasn’t untouchable. I am so guilty of thinking that man he had everything and was everything and man he was perfect. But he wasn’t, and I have to be so careful and not put him up on a pedestal that I can’t take him down from. He was a great entertainer, but he was still just a man. Thank you, Mr. Thompson that was so wonderful!!!

[@kevincarlson2965]

This series has proven to be my favorite thus far. Outstanding. Sam has such a unique way of putting Elvis right in focus and also right in front of us with his wonderful stories. Never before have I felt such a real connection to someone else’s accounts of their time with Elvis. Just amazing to watch. Also to have lived a life to be a real and true friend of Elvis is a Blessing beyond nearly fully understanding. Sam is a humble and good man. I can only hope to be as Blessed.

[@nickbrett3740]

awesome interview Billy,Sam and Linda are good people!God bless you all!

[@pambb5743]

Well, I’m literally weeping. This was such an amazing interview. I’m very grateful to both of you, ( Sam..Billy) for making it possible for all of us to hear these amazing stories. Elvis fans are the most loyal dedicated bunch of people you will ever meet. We will forever be thankful for every cherished tidbit you can tell us. And we will also fight King Kong if he disrespects our Elvis. Elvis was my very first love and at 62 and 40 years after his death, I love him more than ever. Many thanks! Much appreciated! ♥️

[@rhondadobransky4905]

[@tupelomiss8315]

[@joeblack9421]

How cool Elvis actually was.

[@gracieg7601]

Elvis was such a giving caring person. And he chose a great friend to give it to.

[@retrowb3982]

I am honored! Billy, you amaze me, brother. You keep topping yourself with all this Elvis goodness. You go above and beyond Tightening up! Thank n bless you for all you do. You bring Elvis, the human being, closer to us ever time. Simply stunning work. Rowland

[@corinneloomis3634]

Love Sam. Just a first-class guy and so articulate. Love listening to his stories. Thank-you!

[@1burnman]

Sam is a wonderful human being

[@gracieg7601]

He’s Linda Thompson’s brother! Class act both of them.

[@leighannmoore7608]

Amazing!! I am so impressed with Elvis, & I appreciate your take on him as a person, & as a Star. You show the positive side of him, which is so much greater than the negative that I’ve seen recently. My parents were able to see him in concert in Fort Worth , Texas in 1976. I was 6 yrs old. I grew up knowing how amazing He was! & now, I’m 51 yrs old, & I am able to appreciate his talent even more! Keep doing what you’re doing Spa Guy!!

[@MariaJones-em2gb]

Thanks Billy! I always look forward to your videos. Sam is a great story teller. Good people.

[@donnahill8403]

Thank you for doing both parts of 1& 2 of this incredible story from Sam.. about his experiences with Elvis. He sounds like a real true friend and a lot more actually, to Elvis. It was an honor to see and hear this man talk about how great Elvis was as a person off stage. I wonder if Elvis thought of Sam; not only as an awesome friend but maybe as a brother also. Someone who Elvis could count on to have his back at all times. Thank you Sam for being there for Elvis both as a performer and most importantly as a true and honest friend. Thanks for letting the Spa Guy interview you. These stories are so incredible. It means a lot to me to learn different things in Elvis's life . Thank you Spa Guy for this awesome interview with Sam. Have a blessed day as always.😇

[@marcellaalfaro8418]

I’m just amazed at Elvis generosity, many blessings for the greatest performer of all time.

[@michelletimmons2824]

It’s amazing how Elvis’s life and music brings all of us together as one Big Elvis Family.. I’ve meet some many people I call friends now because of Elvis.. He’s still TCB after all these years... Thanks Billy for the interview with Mr. Thompson. He’s a genuine good friend of Elvis’s. I can tell he still misses his friend.. Billy you are the Best.. I hope I run into friend during Elvis Week.. in Memphis..

[@GClooney17]

Hi Spa Guy Great part 2 interview Love the guitar story 8000.00 lots of money back then today cant imagine what’s the value is today Keep up the great work Joseph from NJ....

[@susanstrozi2158]

This is so beautiful it literally made me cry! Thank you so much, Mr. Billy, for getting this on video, and Mr. Sam Thompson for sharing your memories! You have no idea how much this blesses so many of us!

[@ramonaeichelberger4628]

Elvis was a very caring and given person. He wanted to be sure the fans had the best show. His family and friends seeing to them and giving them a life to remember. Thank you Sam for sharing with us. Thank you Spa guy.

[@sheilahaver7767]

I loved this story. I just enjoy hearing people who took the time to get so close to Elvis. Spa guy I think I love Elvis so much because he remind’s me of a simpler time in our country where family & friendship was so special. I totally love watching all your videos, thank you.🌻

[@johnllewellyn7085]

That is very true, was a great time, back then in the Elvis years, miss that more than anything, definitely a different time

[@tupelomiss8315]

Totally agree with you Sheila.and john. The good old days.what wonderful worry free times.x something to treasure.🌻🌈

[@luvjesuslee2033]

I totally agree.. Many of us Southerners were raised the same way. I am greatful to be Southern, a Christian, an Elvis fan, and worked in Law Enforcement for years so I do understand the 40 second rule, and more. Also David Foster is another music genius! Thank You Both Sam Thompson, & Billy. God Bless you both, and all of Elvis's fans. It makes it easier knowing Elvis is with his Lord & Savior 💞

[@mshappyapple8663]

This was simply outstanding! I don't know how else to express it. A wonderful glimpse into Elvis, the person - not the 'STAR'! If I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with anyone I wanted to, concerning Elvis, I'd have to pick Mr. Thompson! What an amazing man and an excellent speaker. I can't thank you enough for this, Billy!! You just keep providing us with more and more pieces of the puzzle. You are one amazing man!! It's going in my favorites list. :-)

[@debbiecraddock7204]

Elvis had a Sweet Sweet Spirit weather it be on stage or off.He was always thinking of Other's He was a Great performer but he was One heck Of a Human being..He Loved making every one around him Happy...Thank you Spa Guy !!

[@ruthfeeney9441]

Thanks Mr Thompson for sharing your experience with Elvis

[@famous21me]

Thank you and God bless you @SpaGuy for keeping Elvis's spirit alive in a decent manner at all the ppl that you interview . Sam is a top notch person! Thank you again for all the memories and tightening up..lol.. :)

[@noelslattery9203]

Another great interview from magician that is Mr Stallings👍

[@alryan8609]

Yes another amazing interview but the last couple of minutes got you thinking about elvis the human being , great job Billy and Sam

[@AmishElvis1]

This is one of those rare moments that I just sit in awe after a video. Loving tribute to Elvis through out. You can tell they had a deep and sincere relationship. Thank you both for sharing such a treasure with us. God bless Billy and Sam!

[@_CoolHandLuke_]

Awesome part two! What a great and accomplished fella. Thanks Spa Guy!

[@eliflores3205]

Very cool Spa Guy and Sam Thompson seems like a very cool man as well, Lucky him that he had the opportunity to have met him and be around him.

[@dawnsawyer4275]

Wonderful interview !! I enjoyed very much Thank you Sam and Billy

[@huffhouseart3377]

I can now certainly say without a doubt, that Elvis choice his friends wisely. I'm so glad Mr. Thompson shared his personal stories with a view into the life of an American Icon. The humanity of Elvis really came through. Thank you both for sharing!

[@jasonbush8148]

Thank you for the great interview. Its neat to hear those personal story's of Elvis

[@BobE316]

Fantastic videos Billy, thanks to Sam for his stories and for granting you the interview ~ Great work as always Billy, you're #1 covering Elvis

[@christheguitar2]

Great interview and the last six minutes are amazing. You can really feel the emotion his story.

[@rogerjean5403]

Yes amazing Billy & Sam keep it up love them

[@tp5776]

Elvis would be delighted that guitar paid for law school. I wouldn’t doubt if giving that guitar away crossed his mind while he was playing it that night. And it didn’t take long. He did so in his first peaceful moment. Thanks for letting us sit in on these great stories. I wonder does Sam Thompson ever see or talk to Billy Smith and others?

[@SpaGuy]

Yes he does see and speak to all of them..

[@tidegirl8150]

Here's a link to the video interview MMK did with him recently. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4TInoqEor11mLs

[@lh9140]

God Bless

[@scsmiff]

That guitar would be worth waaaaay more than that today!

[@sandralybrand9407]

Elvis would've been so proud of you Sam! Just listening to you I know Elvis cherished your friendship. I'm so glad he had you around him.

[@TruthAlways59]

Love these stories, thank you Spa Guy!

[@deehickman6417]

I couldn't wait to see part 2 and it did not disappoint! Fascinating memories from Sam and great interview & video by Spa Guy! Thank you so much!

[@spencer8851]

Life long Elvis fan here and some say I’m beyond a fan lol also I’ve followed you for some years now and I have to say this is the one person I was hoping you would talk with ! Shows why we love this man the way we do , TCB forever

[@garbage854]

WOW 😀 That was great !! I have alway's been an Elvis fan.

[@Ева-т1ь]

Kment рашен плиз

[@petguy1805]

How is it that Spa Guy doesn't have 200,000 subscribers or more? These kinds of stories are pure gold. He takes you to places Elvis has been, talks to people who KNEW Elvis, brings you stories that no "official" Elvis enterprises would bring you and so much more.Billy great work!! Felicidades y gracias por tu trabajo amigo.

[@michaelshealy4623]

One of the best interviews I’ve seen , fantastic , what a nice guy Sam Thompson is

[@protochris]

A Gibson guitar given by Elvis in 1975 sold for $334,000. This one would be even more valuable.

[@tacogillespie4561]

What a great guy Sam Thompson is. Truly a friend and confidant of Elvis.

[@cerriberry6835]

Taco Gillespie amen to that!

[@dejr81]

Great job, Sam is so positive when he speaks of Elvis. I could listen to him talk about those days for hours. Thank you

[@jfkcamelot]

This brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps!

[@paulkay9563]

fantastic story, thank you to you and sam for sharing. T.C.B.

[@RiverDocs]

This is one of your best interviews yet! Thanks so much. I really enjoyed it!!

[@MrBevelvis]

Thank you for sharing your Memories of Elvis T C.B⚡

[@chrispowell6985]

What a great storyteller! I especially loved the parts where he talked about the times it was just he and Elvis talking together! Great interview!

[@114hours]

What amazing stories he has to tell. Thank you so much for all the hard work you and your team do to get these videos out to us without them we would never know about these things.

[@ellenwilbrink9436]

Wow Great video’s again!! I love the way he talks about Elvis. And thanks to the story’s we now also know the man behind the icon. Love it! Thanks Billy and thanks Sam!

[@jmf2471]

I Love this interview. Sam conveys the essence of Elvis the person, beautifully, and like his sister, from love of the man. I hope Baz Lurhmann is watching your videos to convey this in the Elvis biopic movie.

[@jeanniedeason3959]

Billy......This is the best interview you have ever done! I loved it!! I wish I could have been able to know Elvis as a human being not a rock star. Elvis was so gifted in many ways. God blessed him above measure . There will never be another person on this earth like Elvis, or you for that matter. I feel like I have known you all of my life. Sam Thompson was a great friend to Elvis and I really appreciate him giving you this interview. I enjoyed it very much. I don't speak much of the Lord , but the rapture is soon and I am looking forward to meeting you. If I don't meet you here I will see you in Heaven. I know you are a Christian as I am also. We we get there we can sit down with Elvis and really get to know him for sure. Love and God Bless you brother

[@freedomatlast8756]

Elvis made possible Mr. Thompson's ambitions come true, and that, Billy, is just one example of Presley's Christian upbringing.

[@jennifernapoli8172]

Thank you So Much for sharing your Elvis memories with us Sam and to you Billy for all the time and effort you put into making these videos😊💕 I Will Always be an Elvis❤️Fan Tighten up and God Bless❤️

[@stephentarasenko1603]

[@spirittraveller3846]

Incredible Billy! Just absolutely amazing!!! I love hearing that he was a human being and Elvis knew the difference between performer and human. Makes it so much more real for me !!! And Thank You for all that you do to bring such awesome content about Elvis !!! ❤

Thank you for sharing these unique personal stories,Mr. Thompson and Spa Guy. Elvis - a man of great compassion & love! Incredible. Love from Far East!

Thank you very much for sharing for range of spirituality of Elvis...

[@bobvires9650]

Out of all the interviews I have seen you do spa guy, this is my favorite so far! Sam was a true friend to Elvis and I hope Elvis was aware of that. I’m so thankful to have been able to see this video, it gave me chills to type his name just now...thanks again for all you do!

[@AmieRR95]

Awesome interview & I dare say my favorite.

[@marciachaves8129]

[@rosaalexandrayanezdeazpuru6776]

Absolutely Amazing Interview!! Thank you very much Mr. Sam Thompson. Thanks Spa Guy!

[@chrispatterson4993]

Another awesome video Billy! Sam seemed so genuine and you could tell he loved Elvis’s humanitarian side the most. Elvis’s loss is still a huge hole for all his family and fans this many years later. These stories are ways for him to continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him and even us fans who never had the chance to see him.

[@sheltonhall9278]

Spa guy never disappoints. Awesome videos as always. Love the videos were u reclaim your spas. U kept me rofl.

[@JesusLives8718]

How precious was Elvis. He was a blessing to everyone he knew personally and everyone who came in contact with him.

[@TeeVeeZed123]

Thank you Sam, and thank you Billy.

[@hazelevans1971]

Thank you for this Sam and Billy as you said Billy this means so much , like Sam said I've always believed Elvis was a great humanteiran,not just a great human being but a very deep and loving man

[@PadraigGrimes]

I just love the interviews with Sam, unlike other interviews from people "close" to Elvis whom you often felt were less than sincere, Sam comes across as a genuine decent man with no hidden agenda but to tell his story, and what a story it is. Great stuff!

[@karolinesmail489]

What a great guy! Tells the story the way it really was! Real not b.s! ELVIS never forget his roots! Did alot of things for people! Sadly we need more of like him today! Will we ever see another? Nope! Sadly ☹️ TCB⚡👍

[@timp5883]

Sometimes it's hard not to shed a tear from these stories.........thanks again sir, great job.

[@krisharvey489]

Thanks spa guy. What a great video and just like his sister, a wonderful person they are a lovely family. xxx

[@JimDangerZone]

Thank-You so very much! Priceless personal recollections for we fans.

[@jamisongee3324]

Thank you so much for allowing us to share your most prized and private memories of Elvis. It's so hard for those of us who think of the iconic Elvis as a bloke sitting cross legged on his bed sharing his thoughts and feelings. But yes, he certainly was a human and a wonderful one at that.

[@Themeparknerd1993]

Amazing interview!

[@AshleySmith-yf7ig]

Wow! You can see how much he loved Elvis, I can only imagine being able to be so close to this amazing, one of a kind human! ❤️

[@sensettione2205]

[@claythomas7982]

One random act of kindness took on a life of its own and continued to bless people in its journey. That's a gift that keeps on giving and Elvis put it in motion, as he has done on numerous ocassions.

[@Wayman_Simmang]

Thank you Billy and Sam! Great Stories! What a humble man.

[@davemurray9341]

What an awesome pair of videos,I could happily sit and watch another ten of these.Sam is a relaxed and genuine story teller.We need some more from this gentleman Billy 👍
