That friends, is a southern gentleman... a vanishing species.
Probably among the very few guns purchased by Elvis that you can actually touch and hold. Most are behind glass displays and hid away in lock boxes I imagine. Thanks Billy, and much thanks to you also Dr. Black!
To someone like me, who perceives Elvis has having existed so long ago when I was a child, its surreal to think there are still countless people in and around the Memphis or Tupelo area who know Elvis not just as an international superstar, but also as just a guy in the neighborhood. There must be thousands first hand people who have stories of the day to day events of him.
I love that you tell the story of people who were around Elvis that aren't just the Memphis Mafia. Those guys are all interesting in their own right, but these "regular people," he interacted with not only prove that Elvis wasn't a total hermit, they give him a little bit more humanity than his own crew gave him. Still funny that those people describe him similarly though. Proof that Elvis really was a bigger than life character.
I call the "Fringe People" they were there and have a story to tell but no one has asked..
Great video.... Dr. Black is a real nice gentleman and very generous with his time, the statement by Dr. Black of Elvis's character is a real tribute... Great work keep going
I was born and raised in Memphis ,I've learned so many things I didn't know watching your vlogs I've enjoyed everything that you do
Dilaudid for a root canal? Things sure have changed. I envy all the people that were able to meet the king!! So lucky. Elvis will never truly die. He goes on and on in his music
I've forgotten about some of these stories that's been awhile since I watched them, and it's just as awesome to rediscover them.
Great story and the Dr. Is a perfect Gentleman
These Documentrys are priceless to people like us die hard Elvis fans like me lol
What a Wonderful Man, Elvis was really a Genuine Generous Man, Down to Earth, not like the Big headed Musicians of today, and what a wonderful Man to receive the Gun from Elvis
Elvis took care of others by giving them things that could help them. Its amazing to see how he cared for people. Sounds like he thought a lot of that pharmacist to give him something like that revolver. I think he cared about him and qhat the pharmacist thought of him that when he started abusing, he would purchase from a different Pharmacy or heard about a shaddy Pharmacy that he could easily obtain a lot of medications. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Tragic all those meds were at his finger tips. A never ending tragic story with celebs.
Very well done video and talk with Dr. Black, who is a really nice man. I enjoyed hearing Dr. Black describe how mild mannered and a gentleman Elvis was. Great video, and what a cool gun Dr. Black has. Thanks, John
He seemed like a really neat guy. I get so excited to hear the first hand stories as there's so much hogwash out there. Thank you for taking your time to share with us. Always appreciated.
This is amazing...What a great find in finding Dr Black and his history with Elvis. Dr Black looks wonderful and love his Southern Gentlemen Charm.
This is awesome. With the Hippa laws of today, we would never see this.
Enjoyed your conversation with Dr.Black.That Colt was a real beauty a once in a lifetime gift.Dr Black is a fine gentleman and his comments about Elvis were spot on,never heard anything but glowing testimonies about him..Thank you spa guy for all you do!!!
Another awesome interview, and Dr. Black is a real sweetheart. Thank you, Spa Guy......we can always depend on you for terrific and accurate information!!
Awesome!!! Gorgeous gun and a great story. God bless
Great part two! That Colt revolver looks brand new on the video at least. Goes to further show the kindness and generosity of Elvis
That's a nice 38 detective special revolver pistol . I know he was proud of that . It's always nice to hear all of these great things that Elivs did . I've heard most of the people that knew Elivs personally say what a kind heart Elivs really had . I believe that comes from his up bringing too . His parents did a great job by raising Elvis to have a good heart . All of this was an amazing story . Thank you Dr. Black and Billy ( Spa Guy ) for sharing this with all of us Elivs fans .
AMAZING! This was great and I didn’t want it to end! You out did yourself with this one!! Always wonderful to hear stories when you hear them by the people who lived it...talking about how Elvis was a perfect gentleman!!
I think you’re going to make your way up to eventually interview Pricilla and Lisa Marie. Mark my words!!
great work spa guy! god bless Dr. Black
These videos with Dr. Black are awesome Spa Guy!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to travel to Memphis to speak with him so we may learn even more great stories about Elvis!!! I am so intrigued with these videos with the great Dr. Black & ALL of your great videos!!! I enjoy them immensely!!! I really LOVE Dr. Black's beautiful house with all the stonework it is made out of!! I was admiring his fireplace as I so hope, one day, to own a house very much like his!!!
Very cool! Thank you so much for these videos! Thank you to Dr A.L. Black for sharing these items and stories with us.
Hi billy.thank you so much for sharing this wonderful and interesting posting today part 2 .The gun looks as you say mint condition.what a gift.fantastic story.Dr Black seems such a lovely guy.real pleasant he said Elvis was real humble and polite just like the doctor. Thanks again billy for this story.amazing .have a good day my friend. 🇬🇧
Hey spa guy another great video.im very glad your going around recording this history.a lot of the people from that time are already gone.such as my father who saw Elvis many times in 50s and 60s. Or my grandfather who went to Humes high school.the stories they could probably tell.
ThankYou Spa Guy for amazing investigative work-know You are appreciated please! Keep them coming! God bless
Love this story! Thanks Billy!
Hey super investigator Spa Guy for another terrific interview with Dr. Black on Elvis trivia. Thank you. A great looking Colt gun though. Glad Dr. Black has it. Thanks for the interviews with Dr. Black. Really enjoyed both of them. Tighten up. Have a blessed day.
Absolutely Wonderful SPA GUY.
THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!.
MUCH APPRECIATED.
I am a huge Elvis fan and I watch many things regarding him. It is sad to see things about pills that eventually took his life. I love Elvis and his music it's just sad he couldn't get help for his addiction and died too young. ❤️
You're an awesome guy Billy. Love you and the stories. We've always heard that Elvis really was both a man's man and gentleman and how big Elvis was on MANNERS and your stories certainly show that. In terms of manners, and I forget who it was that told the story, but I'm trying to remember. But one of the guys...Yes, it was Lamar Fike who told me this as I became a member of the Honorary Memphis Mafia Fan Club and we used to talk. I used to talk to Marty Lacker a lot too. But Lamar said Elvis could curse a blue streak, but wouldn't tolerate anyone cursing in front of the ladies.
But Lamar had let the F word rip and there were some women around and Elvis turned and gave Lamar a burning stare. And Lamar being Lamar, instead of shutting up, started protesting and saying something to the effect of "you cuss all the time," which was the wrong thing to do. As Elvis said, "Ladies will you excuse us," or something to that effect and Lamar said Elvis took him by the arm and led him through some kind of swinging doors at Graceland. Not really sure what he means by swinging doors but I have been to Graceland.
However, Elvis took him into an adjoining room and told him "Lard ass" (exact phrase Lamar used) "don't you know there's a MAN in "MANNERS." There was a little more to it, but I can't remember, and Lamar said that was just the way he and Elvis talked to each other, ribbing each other if you will, and not really being angry, angry.
Christopher Tyler ~ Thank you so much for sharing your story about one of your conversations with Lamar Fike!!! You made me literally laugh out loud about the part where Elvis liked to pick on the guys & him calling Lamar a "lard ass" was hilarious!!! And Elvis was so right, there actually IS a man in manners, ha ha, I never even thought of that!!! Thanks Elvis, when someone gets way out of line, I will remember to tell them that very same thing!!!
i really dug reading that thank u
What a great video Billy you outdid yourself. Dr Black seems like a nice man I’m glad he was willing to share his memories. I’m sad that Elvis is not still with us. I’m his biggest fan always will be
These stories are so interesting and the people seem so lovely It’s really nice to hear from people who met Elvis and can tell us about him.
Thank you SpaGuy.👍 Another amaZing showing.
Fantastic is all I can and I loved the way the room was decorated
Very interesting video Spa Guy! Thank you Again..
Your a natural with that camera brother great communication skills like Elvis you come across as a gentleman. Thanks again for another insightful interesting video we the true die hard Elvis fans appreciate it.
To my eyes, the Burrows prescription looks like it was filled out by Elvis, the signature looks very similar to his hand writing; all the other prescriptions look so different.
Video idea Mr. Spa Guy. - location and story on the photo- Elvis Presley and Anita Wood at the Fairgrounds Amusement Park 1960. Elvis rented the park from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. and brought a bunch of his friends.
Thanks Chuck we have already filmed a lot of that story but there are a lot of pieces to it.. afterward they went to the Chisca then downtown and there are a lot of pics from that night.. It is in the works been working on it about a year.. Spa Guy
@@SpaGuy , that explains one of the reasons for the high quality of your work, that's a lot of effort! I was off work this week and watched about 25 hours of your stuff... if I was Elvis I'd give ya a Caddy... but I'm not so I hope a thank ya, thank ya very much will do. :-)
Thank you for this video! I wasn’t ready for it to end! Very informative.
Mr. Black is such a nice man
This is a incredible story. Only you Spaguy can bring us stories like this one. Your an amazing Elvis detective. Thank you and a big thumbs up 👍 from Perth Australia.

Spa Guy,thanks so much for all your videos.I really enjoy all of em!
Great story. Very nice man, this Dr. Black.
I am so glad you brought up the fact that wall has been replaced because when I tell people that it had been replaced, they say no that was the original. one
What Wall?
@@SpaGuy around Graceland
@@allegedlyso3427 The wall in the front has not been replaced.. I don't think I said that.. The wooden fence all the way around the rest of the property was replaced though..
Billy these 2 episodes were great. The Dr seemed like a lovely man. Your stories are really really enjoyable. Thank you for your efforts. 🇦🇺💗🌸🥰
Great story and a very interesting man to listen to. thanks Spa Guy
Hello from England
Dr Black has kept all these documents and especially the information about the gun he was given by Elvis and in what circumstances at that time. Its great to know and for his children as well to have this and they will have the provenance of authenticity.
WONDERFUL ! THANK YOU GENTLEMAN FOR THIS !
That was very cool! Love all your interviews! I have let Elvis radio know that they need you! Also read about a lake behind Graceland and wondered if that was true. Thank you Spa Guy!
Yes there was a Lake I show you where it was at in a video but don;t know which video.. lol.. Thank You for sticking up for me with Elvis radio!!
Lol I look forward to it! I can't imagine how many videos you've made!
Very cool!!! I love stuff like this. What a humble gentleman.
This is fantastic! Great video. :)
Hi Spa Guy,
Yes that was Joan who was Joe Esposito’s first wife. So that was who her name on that on the blue slip of paper.
Thank You Spa Guy for these part one and part two of Dr.A.L Black a Pharmacist.Truly interesting.Spa Guy when you find time you should watch this video,Elvis Presley's Graceland Memphis-The History Tour.and there is a short video done by I believe Ruth Moore the daughter of Dr.Moore.who then own Graceland before Elvis Presley.I might have gotten Dr.Moore daughters name wrong.but you would probably enjoy the video.I know I did enjoyed these 2 videos! :)
Another great video spa guy we were just in Memphis last weekend we went to Marlowes great place to eat also looked at some spots you went too
Very Cool Jerry Hope you had fun..
Very cool. The gun looks mint like it's never been fired. Thanks for sharing the story. I like the pill display looks like a bowl of candy.
Great interview! Love it, Spy Guy !!Esther from N.Y.
Great video as always. Have you ever heard of Sara Erwin? She wrote a book entitled,,"Over The Fence." Her home adjoins the Graceland yard at the northeastern corner and she knew Elvis. She has some very interesting stories to tell. I'm not certain if she's still living. I believe she would be about 77 now. A few years back, I read that she was shot by two intruders in her home, but I think she recovered. She would make a great interview for you.
Tony Brice that sounds very interesting!
Tony, It seems that almost everyone who lived at the fence wrote a book. I talked to her recently and she was not interested in a interview even though it would have promoted her book. Thanks for the info.. Spa Guy
Nicely done, thanks. Anxious to hear about the lake! I had not heard of that before.
Incredible story and history! Great work as always my friend!
You are really fantastic, thank you very much, thank you. (: 🇫🇷
Thank you Spa Guy 🇫🇷
Thanks so much you done it again
thanks billy
This was a great one, one of the most fascinating stories you've done. Dr. Black has an amazing memory for someone his age. I would love to hear about the lake that was on the Graceland property, hope you can find some info on that.
Ótimo Spa!
Você é um ótimo investigador das coisas de Elvis.
É emocionante para seus fans ver tudo isso!
Thanks so much Spa Guy!
Thankyou nice video
Great interview Spa Guy,thank you.
Very interesting thanks for the tutorial. Keep up the good work Marticia Buckner
Thank you for this story !!! :)
This is awesome. Love it!!! And I love all the trees in Memphis.
blizzardbaby ~ I LOVE all the beautiful trees in Memphis as well, they are awesome to look at!!!
Great video- thanks.
ELVIS worked for a better life for himself and his family
Thank you Billy. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I appreciate all the research and investigating you do to bring all of us these stories. Without you we would never ever know about these stories. Each one of them is so special and important. Dr. Black is a sweetheart. He is really sharp mentally and is a good historian. He was one of the very lucky ones who was privileged to know Elvis personally!! Very nice to hear all the nice adjectives/compliments he remembered about Elvis the customer. Of course we Elvis fans have heard those special compliments from others before. Thanks Billy and Dr. Black for more of the pieces of the puzzle.
Another fantastic interview! Thanks Spa Guy 🇺🇸
Amazing. Thanks.
Subscribed to your channel!
Thanks for your efforts & time! Keep them coming! 😎 💜 🎉
Man, if Elvis was taking dilaudid in Jan of 67 I can only imagine the habit he would have by 77! It would have snowballed and reached unbearable heights by then. I have to say I really feel for him, he must have been absolutely miserable. I think Elvis and Kurt Cobian were a lot alike. Both introverts that used substances to help them come out of their shell. The best of the best they were
Dr Black thanks for sharing your stories. Remember the Jesus Elvis believed in loves you too! Good vid as always. ( Dr Black church is not a must as ya can pray from your heart wherever you are! ) It would of been a good movie if Elvis played a NYC detective in a good plot.
wow your video's get better and better, your'e up there with the gates of Graceland Channel.
Amazing work
another great one...
Would have never seen that pistol had you not made this video
Hello Spa Guy, I have a quick question for you. I was watching a documentary here on TH-cam called Elvis from Tupelo to Sun Records. Well, at 14:35 the narrator sure sounds just like you. If you have a chance, take a look/listen and see if it is in fact your voice. I could swear it sounds just like you! Have a great day Spa Guy 🙂.
