    I can’t tell u how much i enjoy what you do. A guy that was married to one of my relatives was friends with EP in the army in Germany. Elvis would contact him whenever he played in the area he lived.
    He has passed on, but I’ll try and find more info out. If I come up with anything I’ll let you know.

      I bet Elvis is so polite he’s probably still walking up to people in Heaven saying hello, I’m Elvis Presley. He’s probably still the polite southern charm boy. God is lucky to have Elvis singing gospel to him and the other angels in Heaven!

    Wow that's amazing. I love how Elvis was just a regular guy even though he was an entertainer. He always helped people out and, welcomed them to his home. He didn't keep people away like celebrities do today. I think that's why people still love him so much.

    Spa Guy, I appreciate and love you sharing the stories of Elvis Presley, the greatest entertainer! That was very nice of Elvis to let two of his service buddies ride in his car with him, the car he loved. He did not forget his humble beginnings. To have a phone in a car then, was huge! You doing this story, it is wonderful the present owner knows that Elvis had been at his house. He did not know! I wish Mrs. Presley lived longer, Elvis too. His stories are huge and very interesting! From A Nashville Girl (MUSIC CITY USA PROUD!)

    Hi Spa Guy🙋 Another interesting story, of Elvis's early years! 🎸 Being a life long fan since the age of 7, I finally get to know the man, through your videos ! Took the time to drive a army buddie home, showed me his character! Thanks Billy! Esther from N.Y.🎵

    Sometime around 1970, my grandfather took me to get a haircut and the barber that cut my hair was the U. S. Army barber that cut Elvis Presley's hair at Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas. He had a shadowbox on the wall with a lock of Elvis' hair in it. The barbershop was on Garrison Avenue in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. I don't know about now, but when Ft. Chaffee was an active base, there was a small Elvis museum there. In the late 1990's, the BRAC Commission turned Ft Chaffee into a reserve base and the part with the Elvis museum was turned over to the city of Barling, Arkansas, which is located between Ft. Chaffee military base and the city of Ft. Smith.

    Another great story of connection to Elvis! Thank You! Please check out Barris Kustom Industries in North Hollywood. I just learned of this yesterday. George Barris recently passed they are selling some items from the shop. There are at least two photos of the first tour bus Elvis owned in Google search located in front of this place. It is the missing bus . Last shown at Graceland then owner sold it . There is more online... Most determining clues to the bus ,one back axle and the porthole window in the remodel by Elvis. This place is Car Kingdom for all those old shows and movies. I hope to see this place and the missing bus soon. Lin

    Hi Spa Guy , I am a big Elvis fan in Brazil and would like to thank you to bring up these unique pieces of Elvis life which we as fans probably never imagine could exists. Just one comment on this video and not intend to correct you just what I saw in the video . I believe Elvis drove a 57 Cadillac Deville Limo and not a 55 Cad as stated in the beggining of the video. Thank you very much and keep up the excellent work.

    Great video Billy, and RIP Rex. There is something worth pointing out about the pictures of Elvis's Cadillac....although he did own a black 1955 Fleetwood 75 limousine, the pictures shown in front of the house are of his 1957 model. If you look carefully at the bumper (two round lights at bottom), the mesh-type grille and the mascot on the hood, these are only on the 1957. These may be the only pictures of this car. Anyway, I always enjoy your videos.
