Grave-robbing article www.thedailybeast.com/how-wou...
Elvis Aaron Presley[a] (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy.
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage him for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA Victor single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. Within a year, RCA would sell ten million Presley singles. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, Presley became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts, however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse and unhealthy eating habits severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42.
On the evening of Tuesday, August 16, 1977, Presley was scheduled to fly out of Memphis to begin another tour. That afternoon, Ginger Alden discovered him in an unresponsive state on a bathroom floor. According to her eyewitness account, "Elvis looked as if his entire body had completely frozen in a seated position while using the toilet and then had fallen forward, in that fixed position, directly in front of it. ... It was clear that, from the time whatever hit him to the moment he had landed on the floor, Elvis hadn't moved." Attempts to revive him failed, and his death was officially pronounced at 3:30 p.m. at the Baptist Memorial Hospital.
Presley's funeral was held at Graceland on Thursday, August 18. Outside the gates, a car plowed into a group of fans, killing two young women and critically injuring a third. About 80,000 people lined the processional route to Forest Hill Cemetery, where Presley was buried next to his mother. Within a few weeks, "Way Down" topped the country and UK singles chart. Following an attempt to steal Presley's body in late August, the remains of both Presley and his mother were exhumed and reburied in Graceland's Meditation Garden on October 2. - บันเทิง

Elvis Presley, in his prime he was the sexiest, most gorgeous man to ever walk the earth. Boy, he was something. He could sing any genre too, from rock, to country to gospel. I guess that’s why he’ll always be known as the King of rock. 44 years later and his fanbase continues to grow with every generation. He deserved it all too.

I grew up in a house right behind Graceland. My grandmother was friends with his grandmother Minnie and knew the Presley family long before Elvis was famous. He was very nice and always gave the neighbors very nice Christmas presents. The day Elvis died was crazy. We knew something was going on because we saw an ambulance in front of the house around 3 pm. His Dad Vernon had a house near ours. My grandmother called him and he told us Elvis had died, so we knew even before it became public. My Mom was at work and I called her and told her. There was a lot of noise in the background and when she said "Elvis died " there was total silence. It took her 2 hours to get home, when it usually only took about 5 minutes. I know the funeral director at Forest Hill and she confirmed that someone really did try to steal his body. His Dad had to get special permission to have Elvis and his mother moved to Graceland.
I call BS. You had me until you said you knew the funeral director too, then it was clear you’re full of crap. Next time keep your lies more subtle.
@@isrulius you're the one who's full of crap. I DO know the funeral director! She's been the funeral director @ Forest Hill Midtown where Elvis was first buried for years.
@@marcyrutland2650 I believe you. In 2008 I dove thru around Graceland. I could see residential homes close to the Graceland property. I also went inside Graceland in 1997. Now Lisa Marie Presley will be buried there.
@@isrulius How did you knewn, her was lie
Lisa is buried at Graceland to.
Wow! Wow! Wow! People actually tried to steal the body? That's nuts! Poor Elvis. Glad they put him at Graceland.
Most of the body heist is bullshit.
I live in Memphis and I work at the hospital they pronounced him in. Got a lot of Elvis stories. My uncle is really good friends with one of Elvis' former grilfriend Linda.
Linda is awesome. Love her... I bet you have a lot of amazing stories. Elvis was a real gift from God. I think he realized that.
Elvis most beautiful man in the world rest in peace with your family xxx
This reminded me to send our love and healing to Elvis's daughter Lisa Marie and the passing of her darling son.
And I second what you said Carmel. So much tragedy, it's so sad. 😢
Welp. Shes with him now, which from my understanding she was very close to him.
@@billbombshiggy9254
So sad. Lisa Marie, Elvis and Gladys all had the family health issues. They're all together now.
😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️
We went to the cemetery just days after he was placed there. When he was moved to Graceland we have been there many times. RIP Elvis
Vernon stayed in there alone after the funeral and wept, he went outside crying. Just imagine the things he said out loud to Elvis in that crypt. I imagine it went somewhat like this, my son omg the hard life we all had, I love you ,I always tried for you. How will I go on without you. I think it went somewhat like that.
I was 12, and it was one of the worst days of my life. Thank God he was moved. That place looks unkempt and dirty. Greatest entertainer to ever walk this Earth.
I was eleven and a half years old.
Awesome video, I’m so glad that Gladys is buried near her Son because they loved each other so much.
They are all buried at Graceland, along with his father, grandmother, and grandson that took his life recently.
@@butlertimothy is that the fourth gravestone at GraceLand that I was trying to figure out who it was?
@@InstantKarma523 it’s Gramma Dodger, Elvis , vernon, and gladys. On the other side is lisa Marie’s son, Benjamin, on the above ground granite. Theres 5 there.
Mausoleum? I watched Lisa Presley's video of the cemetary at Graceland where she buried her young son not long ago near her father and other family members.
So true, Elvis loved his Mother and Gladys loved him. My opinion, when he got drafted, I think that broke her heart. Her only child being drafted into the military, it was definitely hard for her, not to see/talk to her son every day.
There has never been anyone who affected so many in an unbelievable positive way! I HAVE LOVED ELVIS MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I WAS BORN IN 1957. His music and movies are some of my earliest memories. I remember warching "KING CREOLE" with my Mother when I was 4 years old! From then on, I was a tremendous fan. There will never be another with all of the wonderful qualities that he had. He was SPECTACULAR, BEAUTIFUL, EXTREMELY TALENTED, GENEROUS TO A FAULT, HUMBLE, CHARISMATIC, AND A MAN OF TRUE FAITH IN GOD! Of course he was human and like us all, he made mistakes. But on the whole, he was as close to perfect as any human being could ever be! He was and always will be the KING OF ROCK AND ROLL! I LOVED HIM DEARLY!
Thank you Scott, as a huge Elvis Fan I never tire of videos honoring Elvis.
You’re welcome Shawn !

Wow! That was amazing Scott! And I thought Princess Diana had a ton of flowers! Poor Gladys getting moved around so many times, at least she is finally at peace in Graceland. I bet it did feel strange to be in that mausoleum at dusk, knowing Elvis had been in there. As always you have done a wonderful job!
I love you Elvis forever. This world never deserved you.
True words. Elvis Presley was too nice, kind and sensitive for this world!
Being in the funeral profession, it's always disheartening to see mausoleum buildings needing cleaning or repair. Generally, there are perpetual care funds to cover such work or the cities have funds set aside.
You can tell that it needs a serious power washing to remove much of the tree sap and crud. And...why is the door protector a bicycle cable lock? Seriously??🤦♂️
Great vlog, Scott! I'm a huge Elvis fan since a kid. Remember, exactly where I was when the announcement came over national news.👍
I was thinking all the same things too, the mausoleum looked so much better at the time of Elvis's passing, didn't it? It does need some cleaning & help there, my goodness!
why in the world has the estate or some of his family not cleaned that up,Elvis gave his everything and now the family or estate is money grubbing devils and yes Riley I mean you to.elvis deserves much more than he has gotten.if I lived in Memphis I would see that it never looked bad
People tried to steal his body, that's disgusting and so disrespectful. Glad he was placed at his home that he loved may he continue to rest in peace we miss you Elvis your forever in our hearts ❤
That place is always locked.
Elvis’s cousin, and Memphis Mafia member, Billy Smith just went there not long ago to make a video for his channel (Elvis Fans Matter) and it was locked then too. I’ve seen many people go to make videos and it’s locked up every time. Good job getting in. Looks like daylight to me looking through the windows. At that time, Elvis’s funeral, it was the most flowers sold in a single day in USA history... the day after he passed. (Fun fact)
My uncle was one of the motorcycle cops following the hearse in the funeral procession that you see in this video..
My mom and dad were newly weds at the time elvis passed away my grandmother was a big elvis fan .... I grew up listening to elvis and still do to this very day
I saw Spaguy's video about him and a friend recovering the ambulance that Elvis was taken to the hospital in. Thanks again for sharing Scott!
I saw that video, also. It was very well done and an obvious amount of work went into it.
The fact that people tryied to steal his body disturbs me. Like why man
wouldn't it be obvious, money. Ransom.
@@moekontze116 yes very true. But still disturbing
Hi Scott, that mausoleum is massive, biggest one I’ve ever seen, thank you Scott for showing up that, I was 4 years old when Elvis passed away, I’m glad that they moved him to Graceland as that was his home with all his family around him, it’s so beautiful at Graceland, with all the graves together. He’s much safer there. Elvis will never ever be forgotten, bless him he was so young when he died. A music Legend who lives forever in our hearts. Take care Scott, xxxxx
yes but his ugly father is a selfish piece of crap. Everyone knew Elvis mother meant everything to him and he wanted to be buried next to her yet at his home he is not next to his mama, How ridiculous that no one did anything about this to ensure this was the case after all these years
Nice video Scott. I was 5 when Elvis died and I remember like it was yesterday climbing into my Moms lap as she cried watching the news.
I went to Memphis in 2019 in her memory. We had plans to go together years ago but never got the chance.
I grew up with his music and he still is played almost daily in my home. 👍
I’ve watched Spa Guy for quite awhile. Super cool guy.
I do not think we will ever see another American vocalist/entertainer like Elvis or Michael Jackson; their worldwide fanatical fan attraction.
Highly unlikely. Prince is up there too. The greatest entertainers still alive would have to be Billy Joel and Elton John.
Never knew anything about this, so incredible. Glad he got moved, there’s no way people wouldn’t constantly try to get inside his tomb. He needs to be where he is people are nuts!
My great-great grandfather is buried here as well. I've always wanted to visit!
I was 6 years old. I will never forget it. So many people cried. When you are little, you remember that💔 Thank you Scott.
I remember watching the funeral live on TV, it was on every channel... all 4 of them! Lol I was young but it was something that you'll never forget. I'm happy he's with his Mom, that's they way it should be. ❤️ Thanks again for another great video. Stay safe out there!!
There’s also some other members of Elvis’s family buried there.. there’s some info on it on Billy Smith’s channel… it just comes to show how attached Elvis was to his roots.
My mom and Elvis had a few things in common...well, close...my mom's birthday is January 18 and Elvis is January 8th of the same year. (Just think...Elvis would be turning 87 this year)!! And my mom's mom...her name is Gladys also.
Great video! So sad he is gone! An example of a great human being… he adored his mother and we adored him!
All day, Everytime l saw the date I'd raise my eyes to Heaven and say "happy birthday, Elvis". Forever and always Maggie
Thank you Scott that was great I was only 15 when Elvis died everyone around the world was in shock my Aunt cried her eyes out for days from Scotland U.K R.I.P. Elvis.
What kind of animals try to steal a corpse. It takes a special kind of sicko to do so
Totally ewwww!
Happy Birthday to the King of Rock and Roll RIP 💝
I grew up near Memphis tenn been to Graceland many times back in the earley 70s there used to be a Dennys restraunt rite next door to Graceland and u could see Elvis coming and going a lot of times and riding his Harley and other toys around the property I was also there when he died what a site to see nothing like it so sad Elvis lives
Wow amazing video, 🙏💖🌟👑🎤🎸 I will always love Elvis Presley, so sweet and beautiful man,and he's wonderful music,it will forever be,and the music will never die.Thank you for your great videos again🙏😊👌❣️🇩🇰💞
OMG really those people were wild like you can not bring the man back RIP KING👑✨ Damn he was so good looking ❤️
Thank you Scott for the very interesting tour of Elvis was originally buried.
I was 9 when he died and I remember that day like yesterday. My parents were in shock. Thank you for the respectful and interesting upload. 🙏❤️🙏🕊️
Thank You Scott, I am grateful I grew up with his music💖✌️ 🌹RIP Elvis🌹
Elvis is King. I was only around 7 years of age when he died. I remember the news about his death when I was around 7 years old. I met George Michael years ago and I got his autograph. What a great guy.
I was at summer camp when the news broke that Elvis had died. When my parents came to pick me up, we stayed at the Hilton in Hartford,CT, where Elvis was scheduled to stay during his concerts there. The hotel had two floors blocked for Elvis and his entourage. I remember thinking at the time how cool it was to be staying at the same hotel Elvis was supposed to be staying in..
I have been there and it is really peaceful not at all scary.everything about Elvis is peaceful
So glad they respectfully took them both home. Great vid
Thats one man i fell in love with when i was younger.
This was amazing to watch. Thank you so much for this and even more thanks for your absolute respect to the souls of Elvis and his Mother and others. God Bless
I didn’t realise they let people view his body. Thanks for posting. I hope you come to the UK.
elvis presley should always be remembered from who he was a wonderful performer 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸here are flowers for his mothers memory gladys
Awesome video!! My Dad grew up listening to him, and he was a fan of Elvis until my Dad passed in 2018. I grew up listening and being a fan because of my Dad. I do have some Elvis songs on my phone I jam to in my car lol. Great video!
Elvis was so talented and my dad always had a red shirt just like the one you have on. your so much like hard working and loving. great job scott. lots of love. from Vickie🥰
I don't I've ever seen anyone go to the cemetery where Elvis and Gladys used to be buried that late in the evening. I think you're the 1st. That worked out great for you. 👍 I didn't think the lighting was so bad at all. I've been watching Spa Guy tell stories about Elvis for a long time now. He has some great stories about Elvis' life and career. He's a great person too. Thank you Scott for taking us along.
Love Elvis. i didn't know he was moved from the Graveyard to Graceland.
I love his music, I was only 6 yrs old when he died, I always remembered the date he died. Thanks scott
Love Elvis, been to Graceland, once, plan on going back. I follow the Spa Guy too. Very informative and very nice.
Came home from the hospital on the 16th with my new born son. Turned on the TV and saw he had died. The phone rang and it was one of my sisters crying. She had rode in the elevators with a couple of people working in Baptist hospital talking about it. My youngest sister was scheduled for foot surgery which got moved to a couple of days later because the hospital was in a frenzy. They watched the press and all of the fans who came to the hospital from the window in her room. Mom and sis went to his viewing at Graceland. My mom never got over his death.
I turned 6 the day he passed away.... I grew up listening to Elvis.
What an experience!!😳 Thank you for these Elvis videos, Scott❤️
You know on that day for Elvis' funeral was most flowers ever sold in one day and that record still stands today.
It’s sad but the way the world is going, Elvis will just be lost like everything else.
Elvis' mother died of heart ailments at 42, his father died at 63 and by Elvis' lifestyle, not taking care of himself, he may never have seen this world today and probably would have dropped out years ago.
This was the first time I have seen the inside of his original burial place. Thank you so much!! Really enjoyed this..and your other vlogs as well👍
Hi Scotty. Loved watching this video as it was about Elvis and his mother’s burial place and also about you being there being so respectful as you always are. My two most favourite people being at one place and also that I was there too in 2018. My friend who worked at the souvenirs shops next to Graceland ( closed now) took me to the cemetery and I visited Gladys’s previous resting place and Elvis’s mausoleum. I have photos which I will show you someday soon. Hopefully sooner than later when we are allowed to visit America and Canada. Sean thinks it will be a highlight for him when he can visit Graceland with me and if we catch up with you will be the best. So happy you were able to go through the back door and sign the book too which I did too. Will keep watching for more of your Elvis videos to come. Thanks Scotty. As always much love from us. ❤️🤗✌🏼💕
Did you ever meet Shelly that works at Graceland? She is in charge of Elvis’s personal belongings. She is super nice. Elvis is a distant relative of mine. Our great-great grandmothers were sisters.🧸💗
I think some people have said that moseleum and the others have not been kept up and body fluids are leaking out of holes some places. Glad elvis was moved.
I already did see Elvis' first resting place as well as where Gladys was. I did go to Graceland twice in the early 80s. I took a great pic of Gladys monument. It has a green halo on it. Probably sunlight but errie
Hey Scott thanks for making this awesome video I'll love Elvis Presley and his family. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos about Elvis Presley. ♥️✌️
Happy Birthday Elvis. We will always love you.
I remember that day when I got home from School.I was 15&half years old.I turned the radio on,and they announced Elvis Presley has passed away.My heart could not baleave in shock.I cryed in loss of the greatist singer and intertainer and untouchable beutifule heart and so giving One and onley Elvis AAron Presley.❤❤❤❤❤❤1%1000000001
Hi Scott! That was spooky! Can't wait for the rest! Take care❤
This was very informative and well done as usual Scott. I love your content, always so interesting.
I've been to Graceland twice but always wondered where the original graves were. So thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this
It is really sad how run down it has become. I am glad Elvis and his mother are at Graceland.
Thanks for another good one. Really enjoying these pop culture ones!
I love your videos, especially showing old photos with live locations, keep up the great work!! Thanks!!
Thanks Scott on tape your the reason I am going to Graceland for my graduation present I showed my parents your Elvis video and they said your the reason we are going to Graceland for my graduation present .
GREAT JOB MAN 👌. Respectful and entertaining yet again 👍.
The masoleum looks very eerie.
Now Lisa will soon be buried at
Graceland beside her son,
and right across from Elvis.
R.I.P. to her

Again Brother. Fantastic content....
By FAR, the best at what you do on TH-cam. ♥️✊✊. 100%
Awesome video Scott!!….It would have to be a surreal feeling being there at night!!….Looking forward to more Elvis videos
Elvis, his mom, and his daughter all passed when they were fairly young. Makes you wonder if there was a congenital health condition in the family line.
That's what I'm thinking which is really sad
I wasn't born then but my dad's a big Elvis fan. He told me when I was little all kinds of stories bout him and how he died on my grandma's birthday and she was really upset over it
Thanks Scott!👌😊
Thank you 🙏 for this video xx 😘 bless elvis and gladys I loved each other and I know that Elvis missed his mum dearly xx but there all together xx love 💕 you elvis happy birthday 🎂 xx 😘🌟🎤🎸🥰xx
Good Evening Scott 🙋🏽. I hope that you are having a wonderful time ‼️ Enjoy your trip.( I said good evening because it's evening here) 😂 LOL.
I've been in there . It's was beautiful at the time. I was the last one to sign the condolence book that was there at the time.
I saw him perform the year before he passed away. It was like daylight in the arena when he took the stage. Everyone took a photo with their flash cameras at the same time. The women were screaming, what an experience. He was too young to die. 💔
Loving your Elvis videos. It was dark in the mausoleum, made it seem a little spooky. Thank you so much Scott take care ❤
I agree this video is awesome. Quite an adventure for you being in this mausoleum at night.
I was nineteen and newly married. Hubby and I were at another couples house playing cards. The news came over the radio and we were all in shock and so sad. I'll never forget that day.
Brilliant work Scott. Please keep doing what you do 😊❤️✌️🏴
Looking at Gladys original burial site I sense her presence .
NICE! I got the chance to see this in 2017. Not at night though so yours was really
Cool! 😎🤙
Scott - Thank you so very much for doing this video. I remember when he died but didn't know any of this back story information - Priceless. Also, thank you for being so respectful when you are visiting these cemeteries. Have a lovely evening Scott. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
At 14:29 in this video totally understand that feeling!
As a massive Elvis fan myself I would have probably done the same thing!
Damn Scott
I give up my blue suede shoes for a trip like that!
Another great video brother
This is very cool ty
