My Aunt lived in Gurley, and I have been in that store many of times. I will never forget the day she came home jumping out of the car running up to us, I was like 10 yo, she was jumping up and down saying “ I just saw Elvis in the store”. She said she hugged him and he was so nice. I ask her what was he wearing, and she said “They all had on blue jean overalls.” She said she didn’t recognize him at first until she herd him talking. She has passed away but she talked about that day a lot. For us country folks, we always new about him and Big M Farms✌️⚡️

Elvis the very true entertainer,my mother seen Elvis in Tulsa with a best friend neighbor. They really enjoyed the show, I had at one time a concert poster from the show. I loved it my mother met Elvis;s step brother here in Tulsa, and signed his book my mom bought.I still have the book way cool.
Hi Billy 😊 Enjoyed video today 😊, thanks for sharing this, and Thanks too Bennie Jack's for sharing her Elvis stories, and her Elvis enthusiasm, was Awesome 😊! Your friend Bonnie
Watched the rocket Space X blast off with the Pres./vice Pres in attendance ... What a perfect day that was. A high up guy was interviewed about the launch...and he said he was praying hard ...lots of believers in the space program. And what a great Elvis fan. I know she thinks about Elvis every single day and the concerts she attended. Love it ! That is the love millions of present day fans still have for Elvis. Great it's on vid....because if The Lord tarries future fans 40-50 yrs from now (when the original fans are in the grave) they will have history not only of Elvis but of his fans. They will see the passion.
Awesome video & stories of the King! Love hearing them over here in ol England. Thanks Spa guy & Bennie,stay safe over there you guys God Bless our Elvis Dar 👍🏻
Wow that's not to far from where my mother grew up, she loved Elvis as much as me and would have been tickled to know that! Bennie Jacks is a very interesting lady, would love to hear more from her. Thank you Spa Guy, this story was another home run with me!
my dad is ed nixon . he retired from the huntsville police department as a deputy chief of police after 36 years . he worked a shift in the hilton sitting outside of elvis room . he talked to him from time to time . he said he was as nice as could be . elvis would get in his limo in the loading dock and ride around the hilton to wave at his fans . i was 4 or 5 and got to see him walk out to do that . the hilton became the holiday inn . i was a security guard in 2006 . i walked the path he took through the hotel . they had pictures of elvis on each side of the door of the room he stayed in . i walked in that room 1 time and it was awesome knowing he stayed there . it was on the 2nd floor . many people thought he was on the 4th . i love elvis . always will . i wish i could show you how he got out to leave in the limo but its of course gone . they should have never destroyed that hotel . never . it was a legendary place . i met a lot of famous people there . scott nixon.....thank you for this video . ps was cpt jacks your husband ? my dad loved him .
Really enjoyed this 2 part story..gonna re watch as i was cooking and didn't catch how Elvis knew the Powells..thanks a million to Bennie Jack for sharing and how awesome to of been a part of his era..I didn't even know who Elvis was until just before my 15th birthday in may 77, so never got an opportunity to see him in a concert..God Bless ⚡SG TCB ⚡
Bennie is such a delightful and fun lady, loving all her special pieces of Elvis to the space stuff. I think she had lead an exciting life! I love that she has been to so many concerts too, but to have Elvis play in your home town is even more special. The Grant farm certainly did look a bit like Graceland, I found that interesting too and love that Elvis stayed there. I also enjoyed hearing about von Braun. So cool and so much history with Elvis and Nassau. Looking forward to the follow up video.
I agree, I never watched ETAs until I went to the Williamson County Fair. I also remember a video of Elvis mentioning Huntsville during a concert video!
As always great video! Years ago I went to Space Camp at Huntsville with my son’s class. I enjoyed it more than the kids! I heard von Braun was being pursued by both the US and Soviet Union - thank goodness he came here!
There's a story about Elvis went to Decatur not far from Huntsville to visit charlie hodge who was from Decatur. And Charlie introduced Elvis to cf Penns hamburgers from. And Elvis really liked those burgers which is known as a slugburger
Born and raised in Louisville and still live just outside of Louisville. Been to Freedom hall many many times. The best show I saw there was Motley Crue during the Carnival of Sins tour. I only wish I was born soon. enough to have seen Elvis. I came along in Sept 1979 so I missed out...
im sorry i keep typing but my friend kevin of mullins equipment lives right there on the right heading toward elvis presley blvd . thank you so much for your tour of this young lady ! btw , i l want elvis glasses bad ! scott.....
That's some interesting stories about Elvis !! I'm glad Bennie Jack shared this with you so you could make this video about Elvis spending time in Gurley Alabama . I love all of her Elvis memorabilia . You know my husband was telling me that his sister done some research on their family history not long ago ? She found out that their ancestors used to spell their last name with an A instead of an O back long time ago . She was telling my husband that their family crest was a lion and he showed me a picture of it . Some of their Brown family lives in Huntsville Alabama and Arkansas . I know there's a lot of Brown's, but I wonder if Von Braun was kin to my husband in some way ? Just a thought .🤔😊😉 I'll share this with my husband and my sister in law . That would be interesting to find out if they were kin to Von Braun . Thank you Spa Guy for sharing this wonderful video with us !! I love it and I can't wait to see the next ones !!
Did anyone else see Elvis watching as Bennie spoke about him? 3:19 SG I understand your comments of "Might've visited", but man she is sincere. Not to mention she is a BAMA fan :) It's Great that you allowed us to meet her and hear her stories. When I'm in the area next Ima stop by and grab a bologna sammich :D
3Brickshigher I see Elvis watching over them . Elvis is everywhere !!! Glad S.G. verifies all stories even when he gets direct word of mouth. !!! It's like courts say that's just hearsay inadmissible. Great eye spotting Elvis !!!
So I had heard from my grandmother that Elvis had looked at buying the Powell farm and making it the circle ⭕️ G ranch. Also have heard that EP dad used to visit the area with his wife and stayed a lot not to far from the Powell farm . I’ve got a aerial photo of the farm from 1962 but can’t upload.
Hi billy what a great video that lady so lucky to see elvis in concert lots of times love her glasses can l ask you billy do you no when if the red west book is coming out thanks billy stay elvis always TCB
They said he came to the house and sat on Dawana's bed and talked to her. There was no concert date on the 22nd, is it possible he could have been there then?
Hi spa guy I have been told that in the 70s the uk had the biggest ELVIS PRESLEY fan club in the world run by Tod slaughter do you no that to be true 👑
he definitely stayed at the hilton though . i have a picture of him that my dad took off duty at the loding dock . harris roberts at jackson way styling salon said he was not at the hilton at all . he said he was at big m the whole time ! not true at all my dad was there several days . a doctor would come in 2 times a day to give him a shot to put him to sleep and to wake him up the next visit . its true . i promise . he did stay at big m once.
Man - I live in decatur close by and was friends with Charlie Hodge for many years. Wished I'd known you were in the area. Would have shown you penns hamburgers which Elvis was fond of, Charlie's mom's house where he kept the Elvis caddy gifted to him, etc. Maybe next time!
Thanks Billy respect to you but sorry I don't mean to offend anyone but I just can't abide Elvis impersonators or Elvis tribute acts as they call themselves
Hey I have a question for you what is the update for Graceland are they going to have tours in another month or two cuz I am planning to come down in September just curious

Hi Spa Guy glad to see your doing good. I am making the best of my last 3 weeks of being 59.
Bennie is such a delightful and fun lady, loving all her special pieces of Elvis to the space stuff. I think she had lead an exciting life! I love that she has been to so many concerts too, but to have Elvis play in your home town is even more special.

Hi, cool
Wow! Her father sounds so much like Jim Varney(Ernest).
Did anyone else see Elvis watching as Bennie spoke about him? 3:19 SG I understand your comments of "Might've visited", but man she is sincere. Not to mention she is a BAMA fan :) It's Great that you allowed us to meet her and hear her stories. When I'm in the area next Ima stop by and grab a bologna sammich :D
I can't say anything absolutely happened until I know for a fact that it did.. She did not personally see him but she was told he was there..
3Brickshigher I see Elvis watching over them . Elvis is everywhere !!!
Glad S.G. verifies all stories even when he gets direct word of mouth. !!! It's like courts say that's just hearsay inadmissible. Great eye spotting Elvis !!!
Great story about getting the tickets
So I had heard from my grandmother that Elvis had looked at buying the Powell farm and making it the circle ⭕️ G ranch.
Also have heard that EP dad used to visit the area with his wife and stayed a lot not to far from the Powell farm .
I’ve got a aerial photo of the farm from 1962 but can’t upload.
Hi billy what a great video that lady so lucky to see elvis in concert lots of times love her glasses can l ask you billy do you no when if the red west book is coming out thanks billy stay elvis always TCB
Bennie did you know Brett westgrove country singer in Nashville.he worked for NASA to.love his music 🎧 Did Bennie meet Elvis personally??
Bacana história desta fã assídua
Thanks Bennie and Spa Guy
Dean Z is by far the best ETA. Lou Vuto is a good friend of mine and he performed with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps and The Sweet Insperations.
I I’ve the lady’s attitude her shirt and the license plate she adorable 🥰
Elvis Presley's ancestors lived at the foot of Eagle Hill, Hacketstown, Co. Carlow, Ireland and records exist of them buying land there in 1700s.
I was just appointed last time I was down there I missed you I was at the hotel and I think you were doing a video with the scarfs
I'm a big fan of Shawn and Cody as well. Bennie has great taste!
Nice lady
I live like 15 minutes from Gurly, in Huntsville
So, was he there at the store and the BBQ place in 75, or was it in much earlier years?
I don't know yet.. Working on more details..
If you ever get time. Look at the connection between Elvis and Buford Pusser. I've heard they were fans of each other. Thanks you the best.
Yes, they were. I have been to Pussers house museum. They told about Elvis coming to the house to give his condolences to Dawana.
I have looked into it and think it is all myths.. When they say Elvis was at the house for the funeral he was playing in Vegas..
They said he came to the house and sat on Dawana's bed and talked to her. There was no concert date on the 22nd, is it possible he could have been there then?
My uncle Jr was friends with him while they served in the military
Hi spa guy I have been told that in the 70s the uk had the biggest ELVIS PRESLEY fan club in the world run by Tod slaughter do you no that to be true 👑
he definitely stayed at the hilton though . i have a picture of him that my dad took off duty at the loding dock . harris roberts at jackson way styling salon said he was not at the hilton at all . he said he was at big m the whole time ! not true at all my dad was there several days . a doctor would come in 2 times a day to give him a shot to put him to sleep and to wake him up the next visit . its true . i promise . he did stay at big m once.
Enjoyed this! How was the bbq haha!
What year did Elvis go to this store and stay with the Powell’s? During his 75 shows or earlier years? Thanks!
it would have been in the mid 1970's
👍✅💝
Man - I live in decatur close by and was friends with Charlie Hodge for many years. Wished I'd known you were in the area. Would have shown you penns hamburgers which Elvis was fond of, Charlie's mom's house where he kept the Elvis caddy gifted to him, etc. Maybe next time!
I also worked with Bennie at NASA when I was the historian there and editor of msfc's newspaper. She's a fun lady.
Johnathan email me for next time.. billy@thesgnetwork.com
Thanks Billy respect to you but sorry I don't mean to offend anyone but I just can't abide Elvis impersonators or Elvis tribute acts as they call themselves
Same here can't stand them . But if they bring happiness to fans then that's OK. But they are not for me.
I'm not into them either if I want to listen to Elvis then I listen to him
This was so fun and interesting. Great vlog👍🏻😎
Hey I have a question for you what is the update for Graceland are they going to have tours in another month or two cuz I am planning to come down in September just curious
I think they are already back open..
Cool
Dan Latino from The Fabulous Ambassadors, Rick Saucedo's first band.
You are getting closer to the the best cassette tape and story about a nobody family that elvis cared about that you have ever herd. And bring trey with you, it's going to knock your socks off.
Looking forward to it..
It’s an interesting story about Wernher von Braun if you ever decided to research it a little bit.
Yep he was a german nazi scientist brought over by the government
