Amazing history with great stories from a compelling storyteller. Thou know Billy it outs so easy to take what thou do for granted. So many of us enjoy these inside stories around the peripheral of Elvis' life.
We have still followed over learned about Elvis through our entire life and have read and watched what was produced for public consumption throughout the years.
As he said ... we all too "yearn tho learn!"
And you Spa Guy are the Grand Master of the 10th Degree of Elvis "the King" Life Storyteller!!!!
We are your "grasshoppers!" Not quite able to "snatch the pebble from your hand" . . . Yet!
Keep on keepin on and Tighten Up!
Thank you Spa Guy for mentioning Ginger. It is unfair people are hating on her too. Great video too!
Very good Mr Wrenn to set the record straight concerning Red West. I am sure Red loved Elvis.....since schooldays before Elvis was famous. That`s a true friend
What a terrific bloke. He is a fountain of information and has a true and beautiful spirit. One can feel the strength of his generosity and love for karate and he is not interested in trashing the memories or history of Elvis. Thanks ever so for such an enlightening interview.
Mr. Patrick is Awesome... he tells it like it is and does not sugar coat anything.:) another piece of the Elvis puzzle from Spa Guy..:) great job Billy....
All I can say is WOW!! Mr Patrick is truly incredible!! I am blown away at this place and his vision on Elvis and life in general! Great, great, great video brother! 👍👍👍
This is such a touching video series. What an amazing interview. (As an outsider, and from what I've read & interviews I've seen, my opinion is the West boys truly LOVED Elvis. They were heart broken over what they have seen & tried to protect him always. Even tried to protect him from himself which is an impossible feat.)
Great video! Patrick is one interesting man. Totally agree with you regarding Red. I hope your trying to obtain an interview with his widow. I’m sure after hearing from her, the haters will stop hating! Thanks Spa Guy for your all your videos, I appreciate them and you!
Billy this ur Lumbee friend here man I love the way u talk up for me red man I love this stuff u do u really thighten up man god bless u keep it coming I’m coming ur way this fall never been to see Elvis home an all hope to meet u my friend
Mr Patrick Wrenn is a fascinating person with a great outlook on life,looking forward to part three.
Thank you so much Billy for bringing Patrick's story to us!! I am just so caught up in his knowledge and humbleness, despite his many awards and accomplishments. Being a HUGE Elvis fan for 48 years, I am thrilled to know some of the stories that made Elvis one of the greatest humanitarians of our time. His story is ABSOLUTELY UNFORGETTABLE and I'm so thankful to you and many others for making sure of just that! IF there is one thing that I would want to leave the world with is my integrity and knowing I loved my fellow man and my Creator. Thank YOU for bringing us this side of Elvis!!!
I can certainly appreciate the inspirational and life lessons I'm receiving from listening to this gentleman. And believe this is the same reason Elvis ,was so keen on karate . Always trying to learn, from all the different aspects of inner and outer control of thy self.
Thank you Mr. Spa Guy for part two. Very interesting information and a look into Elvis' passion for Karate. Thank Mr. Patrick Wrenn as well. Always a thank you to Ms Ashley Drew for all her hard work.
This was fantastic. Mr. Patrick is a true gentleman. The end of this video was inspiring.
I am so happy I found this channel . Nothing but wisdom, respect and positive vibes! I am going to "Tighten up". Thanks Spa guy, you and your friends are the best!
Thank You again Mr. Spa Guy. You have certainly gone above and beyond again. What a nice piece of Elvis history. My thoughts about Red and Sonny have certainly changed over the years. Used to dislike them, but not anymore. They are gone and I hope that they were able to patch things up with Elvis before he passed!
Love love love Patrick and stories Spaguy , what a gem of stories of Elvis , thanks for sharing cant wait now for 3 ....God Bless Patrick and Spaguy ( Billy )
Love this guys soul. His point about what Elvis means. I think, he was seen as the positive light the world saw America as at the time, a young America, and the hopeful people in it and rock n roll was the soundtrack. Great video Sir!
Spa guy you're the best....
Thanks for all you do
WOW SPA WORDS OF WISDOM FROM BOTH YOU AND PATRICK ONCE AGAIN YALL KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK ROCKON!
Great Video. Billy. I look forward to 3.
Thanks for another informative and educational piece of Elvis and his interests and Memphis. ❤️❤️
This is so awesome that we get see where Elvis studied Karate and I'm glad the building is still there . I like how you have your little animated Spa Guy in the video. Thanks for sharing . Love it !! Can't wait for part 3 .
Amazing man amazing story ty Mr. Spa Guy
4:45-5:24
What a speech of inspiration. 🙏🏻
Ok wow just finished part 2, I am in tears. Hearing how loved and the impact Elvis had on the world always brings me to tears. This is why I love him so much. He was not just a star, he was so much more then that. Also I love what both you and Mr.Wrenn said about Red West. I do notice a lot of people hating on certain people in the Elvis world, and I am gonna be honest I didn't voice it as vocally, but I feel like I went along with it because I am still learning about the Elvis world. However, the world is a stage, and we all play a part, and we didn't see and know everything, and you don't just wake one day and want to hurt the ones you love, or work them to death. Everything happens for a reason, and I truly believe that context is important and perspective. What a powerful message. It brought me to tears, and hearing how loved Elvis still is and how he inspires so many of us, including myself that just made me feel even prouder to be an Elvis fan. We miss you so much Elvis, I so dearly wish I could have met you and been in your life.
Great video..I knew Elvis did karate..but didn't know this side of it..thank you Mr Wrenn n God Bless
thank you again my friend spa guy for all hard work u put in to this for ever one to see and get to know about .best wist to you may god bless you t.c.b
Good words about Red, who was closer than a brother to Elvis. Poor choices were made by all parties and as with any two brothers who have a falling out, there was more going on than any of us on the outside can ever know.
That was incredible. 👍🏻😎
I love how this man speaks. He's speaking life into me...lots of encouragement right now, what I need.
This interview is absolutely fantastic! Riveting, even. Many thanks to both of you!
Thanks for this. This was a part of elvis' life i always breeze over coz i didn't understand it. Now i have a better sense.
Thanks for video Billy. Fascinating. Patrick is very interesting to listen to. Very grounded guy, who talks from the heart.
Wise words from Patrick. Very grounded guy, who talks from the heart.
Loved what he said about Red. Instantly reminded me of Elvis’ own quote of ‘To judge a man by his weakest link or deed is like judging the power of the ocean by one wave!’
It was also rumored that Elvis offered to pay them double what the publishing company for the book was giving them. So many people say it was about the money. So if true, why didn’t they go for the money grab?
I believe Sonny and all the guys loved Elvis but like all great things change is always inevitable. Yet the more I learn the more I see loyalty right to the end and I’m not talking about from when Elvis died.
Ps Billy found out a bit of interesting information. I’ll touch base with you soon. Hope all is well and your grand baby isn’t running you in circles yet. Glad you’re doing karate, you’ll soon need it just to keep up. Congrats again, but you look to young to be a grandpa.
Love The Video 💖 🌹 🌹 ☺
Spa Guy you don't miss a thing. Patrick was very knowledgable (my opinion ). Very interesting video .
He nails the answer about Elvis..... That's what Elvis is about!!
Great insight into life’s ups and downs presented here from bought you men . Very Cool indeed !!! ✨😎🌿
Thank you for this in-depth interview and letting Mr. Wrenn speak as long as he needed or wanted. I dig your interviewing ways. You listen and let the other person speak. As well, your questions are quite apropos. I am really looking forward to part 3. Take care.
Awesome video! So much information. 👍
God Bless! That's correct, who are we to judge and yes Elvis had so much positive in him and so do you SpyGuy, love your work that you are doing...
Unbelievable! What a wonderful man Mr. Wrenn is. This series has, so far, been exceptional! Thank you so much, Billy! More pieces of the puzzle - the picture is coming together more and more thanks to you. I can't wait for part 3! Bless you and Happy Easter to you and your whole family!! :-)
My mind is blown!!! Great interview with a legend!
Well dadgum it blows my mind that there is more to the belts than improving in your abilities to kick assparagus! But it's far more deeper emotionally, spiritually, sociably etc. And the stories he tells and the feeling he tells them with makes you just wanna learn more! I totally get what he was saying about how Elvis has touched each individual differently. It's hard to explain the magnetism Elvis possesss. What a really neat story. I am so grateful for bringing it to us. God Bless and always tighten up 💜💜
Very powerful clip, it’s interesting that the Elvis What Happened book became such a big deal. I’m sure everyone seen malicious, and at the time it would have looked that way. People did not see the help that it should have given Elvis, but that’s the way people are. I personally don’t believe those 3 guys meant any harm especially Red and Sonny we all know they obviously loved him. Anyway another great video Spa Guy well done mate.
Hi Billy 😊 very interesting.. thanks for sharing. Your friend Bonnie
Oh my! Thank you, Mr. Billy for finding and sharing these stories! We are so blessed by them!
I agree with you that this was true friends and doing everything possible to help a friend in need.
Another fantastic video. Thanks 🇺🇸
This video is full of life lessons
Wow , another great video Patrick is very interesting to listen to! Great job!
You are the best Spa guy, 🇫🇷 👍
Thank you so much for stepping out on that limb, Mr. Billy......so many of us feel the same way about Red, Sonny and others in Elvis’s life... I will ALWAYS believe that Red and Sonny West loved Elvis until the day they passed.... thank you to you and Mr. Patrick for sharing y’all’s thoughts here!
Spy guy. I started watching your Vlogs on Elvis. Then yesterday I was looking for videos on repairing spas. And happen to check out your volg on TKI. Of which I have never heard of before until now. And found myself listening and paying attention to every word MR. Wrenn had said. I was surprised to hear him talk about what happened to his back. You see I had two spine surgeries the second one to fix the first one. The first left me with permanent never damage to both feet and lower back. Took me a whole year before I could walk again. Thanks to Mr. Wrenn and you may be there is still hope for me to learn Karate? Something I have always wanted to do. I can tell Mr. Wrenn treasures his Karate Institute. Thank you, spa Guy, for sharing. And Thank you, Mr. Wrenn, for letting us have a look into your life and showing us around your Dojo. Wonder what is behind the little door??
Another great piece of the puzzle Spa Guy!
We too have rods and screws in our spine, being a master in Karate does not make one immune to such injuries, it can ruin a career in an instant!!?!!! .... So have fun Spa Guy but be very careful with your body! ..... All close friends and family have issues now and then, however, this was not what everyone thinks it was, in the end, the world will understand the huge, personal sacrifice that Red & Sonny took for their brother! The West family was very close and extremely loyal till the day they died!
I had a feeling there was a personal sacrifice involved of epic proportion..
@@SpaGuy epic!
Just fantastic, thank you Spa guy 👍
Part 2 ! Fascinating, thank you !
Perfect timing again. Coffee just brewed.
Hi Spa Guy , I'm Bonnie Brown's daughter . She talks about how much she loves your channel all of the time , so I decided to subscribe to your channel too . My daughter that's 6 yrs old loves Elvis too ....thanks to her Granny and my mother ( Bonnie Brown) . LOL !! We enjoyed the videos . This is all very interesting. Thank you for sharing .
Thanks for watching Karen and Tell Bonnie and your daughter I said Tighten Up!!
Lord willing, hopefully Red knew the Lord...He’s our only hope...
Stephen I am confident that Red knew Jesus.. I attended the funeral and it was obvious to a believer he did..
@@SpaGuy I am so happy to hear you believe that Red was a believer. He didn’t show his faith the same as Sonny openly did. 🙏🏻❤️
Fantastic video especially as the years pass ! People pass away and everything is third hand information about Elvis! Great video keep up the good work!
Spa guy. I like that. Keep them coming. We’re watching. T c b
Billy, Another great informative EP,'piece of the puzzle'. Patrick had lots of great information and explained each segment great! As Patrick said, it is very hard to put a finger on why the "Elvis vibe' is still going strong 40+ years after his death., what is even stranger the number of young people ,20-35 years old that finds out about Elvis and are 'hooked'. That is very very uncommon for a singer to be a 'favorite' with all the new generation singers available to listen to on the internet. Get a chuckle out of how many people say how good looking/charisma Elvis was to see in person for first time. Jerry Reed said in an interview first time he seen Elvis in person in Lost Wages,NV. he was the sharpest looking human he had ever seen & said "He wished he could turn into a woman to hit on Elvis".. lol. B.
Very cool man, Mr. Patrick
Awesome video, very knowledgeable man, thanks Spa Guy..
Very interesting I enjoyed that. Happy Easter Billy and your family
Another great video Billy...your videos about Elvis are the best on TH-cam...Thank you and Ashley for all your time and hard work to bring us (Elvis fans) Elvis history and facts
Absolutely fascinating....what a great human being Patrick is.... I totally agree with what you both said at the end...🙏🏻👑⚡️
Thank you Billy for another fabulous video 👏🏻 😍
Always good!! Spa Guy!! You always get into what others wouldn’t think of. I appreciate that. Pilamaya (Thank You)
Amazing! And such a genuine man! 👍🏼 happy resurrection day billy & family ✝️
I am really enjoying this. Great job as always!
As Elvis once said “you never seize to amaze me baby”! A couple of observations Sir Spa Guy.. To see through the eyes of Elvis is incredible and which only one from the “Elvis family” truly understands. It made me smile when you asked if the air conditioning unit was there when Elvis was in that room..you get it & as a consequence you enable us to experience it...thank you for being the link between the Elvis Story & us. I understand the Red West thing and I don’t put him in the same league as Dr Nic or The Colonel..trusted people who had a huge responsibility to utilise their empowerment to ensure Elvis’s safety and Artistic Credibility. I have always yearned and dreamed for Elvis to be alive and makes me incredibly sad that things were not done differently..however, as sad as It is you are right...hate is too strong. What is done is done and unfortunately we can’t rewrite the past. We have to take the positiveness of Elvis’s legacy and embrace it. You’re a good guy..Spa Guy 😇
He is awesome!! Always yearn to learn, great motto😊👌love the thermostat!!!
Hi! Like this story ! /Lotta.
awesome part 2. so much to learn and take in. very interesting I enjoyed it. thank you.
that was a great vlog , learned a lot about Patrick and more about karate in the first half , you don't always hear the lessons about the belts and how they became ,good depth of learning ,and a great amount of more Elvis info thanks spa guy !!!
I climbed those stairs open-heartedly knowing that I would meet a wonderful man, Patrick. I would never have believed that I would be in possession of any Elvis signature rank certificate. Elvis's Romanian fans are grateful to the kindness of Master Pat, the one who has remained a good friend to me, and I hope that my son will be trained in the near future, because at my first meeting, my son was fascinated. Thank you and May God Bless you ,sir !
Where did that 26:35 minutes go riveting from start to finish can’t wait for part 3.
Wot a cool man spar guy thanks for your vlog amazing again Richard ann coventry England
Happy & peacefull Easter Billy& Lori with Family♥:-) / Lotta.
amazing saying.. projecting his image.. that is "STILL" going thru the world...
No one has had the impact on this world that Elvis has except for Jesus Christ, and Elvis would be the first one to admit that Jesus is the King and he was only a singer. Still his impact has been world wide and most of his impact was good because everyone loves him. A lot of lies have been told about Elvis, but in my opinion, he rose above them all.
This has been fantastic.. hopefully more to come . About his time spent with the martial arts.. and even Ed Parker as one of his many bodyguards.. what year was the picture taken..
Well spotted Spa Guy the thermostat! All those years and still there. Yes, Red West was good friend of Elvis.
Hi Spa Guy. I've just discovered your video's. Absolutely wonderful and so informative and well made. You are a great presenter and I like your politeness and courtesy. Fantastic. Thanks.
Jason in comment below said it better than me. Thank-You. This was another great interview. I loved his honesty.
Same stuff we are fighting against in JiuJitsu. Trying to keep it from being watered down and stopping the belt factories. JiuJistu, is supposed to take at least 10 years before you get a black belt. Of course, there are outlier freaks that can learn quicker. And no child under 18 will be awarded a black belt. The kids have their own seperate belt system and their highest rank they can get is green. At 18, they are awarded their adult blue belt. (White, Blue, Purple, Brown, black, red are the adult belt progressions and each belt has 4 stripes). Very interesting video spa guy.
How inspirational this video is for me. Thank you both 💗
happy easter to you and ashley and your familys and thanks for another great video take care
Especially liked when Spa Guy spoked about Red West. Totally on key when don’t hate this man cause of one incident. It’s to easy to hate, and I believed Red and Sonny loved Elvis right to their last breath. Elvis’s prescription drug situation was worsening and after years of pleading with Elvis something more had to be done. Red was with Elvis since the beginning, loyal always! Thanks Spa Guy for giving Red his dues!
Great video and love Mr. Patrick’s outlook on life. I would like to add a theory about Red, who I agree was one of Elvis’s true friends. He may have given Elvis and his father an ultimatum either he gets help or he goes public and that is when he is let go and then carries forward with his threat. As the Spa Guy said to get Elvis clean.
This guy is intense and he has a way of drawing you in. A brilliant speaker. I guess I was unclear until this video whether or not he had actually met or seen Elvis in person or if he bought the studio recently without any history there. That was all good information. I thought I was the only guy that enjoyed seeing all of these places Elvis had history and places he had visited. This is way too cool to find your Channel and see how much time you spend showing us all of these historical places including where he and Scotty met at Scotty's apartment and the first place they practiced. I spent several hours so far watching your videos and I look forward to several more. I remember hearing or seeing something about a video about Ellis Auditorium and I am having trouble finding it. I toured the Las Vegas Hilton couple of years ago visiting his hotel suite and I'm unclear as to how much of it was original. It was still an unbelievable feeling to be standing in that gorgeous hotel suite. The tour guide did not know much. I would have given $1000000 to see the ballroom where he performed all of those years.
This video will tell you some about Ellis.. th-cam.com/video/xtxDjUY8Usk/w-d-xo.html
@@SpaGuy I thought for sure that Ellis Auditorium was still standing. My last trip to Memphis when I visited Humes High School, I'm pretty sure I went right by that location. Unbelievable. I'm still amazed at your attention to detail. Can't wait to see all of these videos!
Elvis had all those people in his life because he cared and loved them and I’m sure they loved him back , even if they made mistakes they are after all just flawed humans as we all are .
Comment by David Lloyd Hole Snr on" Team Elvis and Ginger "on Facebook...
That was such a cool video...
Thats real spirituality for you...
Exactly how I think and believe...
Why all this hate in the Elvis community? It is seriously wrong...
The discipline of Karate or similar things like Yoga is [ I hate to think what people will say here] like a religion because the basis of Martial Arts is Buddhism and Yoga is Hinduisuim...we should not shun people who are not Christians but accept...
Accept that there are differences in beliefs but that fundamentally we all try to live right...
No one should judge the actions of others...we are all on different paths in life...different stages...
I love Patrick's thoughts and ideas...he is a fair non-judgmental man and so is Spa guy...so were Red and Sonny West...
I say no more because its a very controversial subject...
But I will say that there should not be the hate around in the Elvis world...we are talking about a man that strayed from his path a bit because he was human but his beliefs were pure love....
Thank you Billy Spa Guy.... it's your best video yet IMO
Thank You Stacey..
Pat is so tight love ya spa guy thanks so much again
Amazing Video Spa Guy
Watch everyone of ur videos
Very very cool
You nailed it when it comes to Red and Sonny and the rest. I have the utmost respect for those guys. I know you wonder about it too, if one of them had set down with Elvis at some point and asked - - "Are we friends first and employees second, or the other way around?" Followed by a heart to heart. Maybe that would have been enough to make EP see what they were doing? But that mushy crap was not in any of their DNA at the time.
Great Video!!! Thanks To Both of You!!!🇦🇷👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love this
Great video
