That was a great interview and I'm sure he was very good at his job as security, and I'm sure him and Elvis were real good Friends. Very good interview.
Sam is a true gentleman with a beautiful family and his sister is a very beautiful intelligent lady . They must have so many wonderful precious memories ❤️❤️ thank you Steve x
Vernon, Elvis's finance manager and father, must have freaked out when his son would go on shopping sprees. Vernon Presley was old school, he was about saving money. Elvis's spending was non stop. He was exceptionally generous to the Thompson family. I've been a rock solid Elvis fan for 44 years. Elvis was the most generous celebrity that ever lived. Elvis was very special individual. Gosh I miss him.
Sam is such a a sincere man and his sister too Linda. Their parents were awesome people and I know they are still , though they aren’t here, are very proud of the children they raised. I’m so glad Linda has a brother to give her moral support and keep her with live abc care around her. He’s certainly a well grounded man. Both are.
Thank you so much for this interview Steve, absolutely amazing, love hearing people’s stories of him it just makes him so much more down to earth, and to know who he really is, as a person 💜💜 xx
Hi Maxine, I missed this afternoon and watched on replay. I saw some comments about visiting Graceland. I hope if some of you ladies are going during Elvis week 2022 and try to meet up I may join you. I will be going alone and it would be nice to meet some of you. Vicki
@@richardeidemiller6739 I’m definitely going to elvis week 2022 and I’d love to meet up with so many of you amazing people who have become like family 💜💜 xx
This was a terrific interview and I can't wait for part 2...People's lives were changed when they met Elvis and got to know him, as Sam Thompson's was. Sam needn't have worried about losing his job when his sister and Elvis parted ways....Elvis just wasn't that kind of a guy.
Thank you! Was a wonderful interview Steve ! With Sam It's always nice they say nice things about Elvis !Can't wait to hear the next interview !Congrats to you great job!! Thank you Sam too !!👏❤🙏😊
Hi Steve, What a really nice gentleman, he sounds so sincere and honest. I like that he said Elvis never got tired of being Elvis, that's made me feel happy that he was still in a good place even when he passed away. Thank you Steve, great interview, loved it. What a catch. I can't wait for part 2. xxx 💝
Steve this is a great interview with Sam . He was Elvis's friend but really seems like a true friendship. Thanks for getting this done. Part two lets go
Thanks Steve, this interview was so fascinating because listening to him speak, you could imagine being there with him in Elvis's presence. He really takes you back there to those moments of Elvis's life!! It's so enthralling, can't wait for the rest of the interview!!
Man, can mister Thompson tell great stories. Very pleasant, calm and down to earth voice. Good additional stories for is fans. Part 2 gets also exciting! Do we really have to want a whole week for it? 😏 Great job, Steve! Many thanks.
Hi Steve. Missed the live Gig tonight due to work. You got a good, genuine guy here and you can see why E & Sam got on so well. Great interview, thank you for sharing with us 🤴🏻⚡️🎼
Great job Steve! Sam and I share the same first name and I always enjoy his interviews because he is so sincere and the real deal. I role the same way. Can't wait to hear the second part.
You are so right Steve , Sam is such a gentlemen. I am just reading his sister Linda’s book it is such a good read she comes across as such a lovely lady, I think Elvis should had stayed with her. They had so much in common, and she cared so deeply for him. I am looking forward to the second part of the interview . Thanks Steve you are doing a great job for us fans.
Thoroughly enjoyed that Steve, Sam speaks of Elvis with a sincere fondness,. Looking forward to part2. Thanks Steve, as always your interview technique allowed your interviewee front and centre stage.
Thanks for this interview with a very likeable and down-to-earth Sam Thompson👍. It's so good to know Elvis had some normal family gatherings where he wasn't expected anything but being himself. I love and miss him more and more each day
Absolutely fantastic interview Steve, thankyou, enjoyed that so much, can't wait for part 2. I thought Sam was lovely, so honest, humble, grateful. He spoke so highly of Elvis as many many people did and still do, he shed some light on the rumours about Elvis was tired of being Elvis and the fact that Elvis kept going for his fans. How humble of Elvis, Elvis never forgot his fans and we his fans WILL NEVER FORGET ELVIS. It's almost like when someone does something so special for you because they want to, not because they have to, you never forget that. Elvis done something for the millions of his FANS the world over, he gave us his HEART, HIS MUSIC, HIS HAPPINESS and SADNESS, he gave us ELVIS PRESLEY, he have us the MAN. How many artists can you think of from the same era as Elvis that are still spoken about and adored the way Elvis is, the answer is NONE. There will never ever be another artist past or present that will have the same respect that Elvis has by his fans and other artists, why because Elvis was the most generous, kind, caring, individual that has or will ever walk this earth. His generosity, there are no words to describe that. Yes Elvis did a lot of giving to different charities while he was a live, yes it was reported in the papers, but how much did Elvis give, who did he give to the money, cars, houses, jewelery etc he gave that he didn't want to be reported on. He was is and always be the one and only ELVIS PRESLEY, ONE IN A MILLION. Hi to all, I hope everyone is safe and well. Steve can't wait to tune in on Sunday jackie xxxx
I really enjoyed that. He seems like a nice bloke. Promised Land is not a bad song to hear first up and at Stax.... whoever wrote that song must have been pretty goode. I found what he said about Elvis needing him in 76 quite interesting. When Sam mentioned artists and fame at the end I thought of the Oscar Wilde quote "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." I look forward to the sequel.
@@davidlunn1608 Promised Land, Down Bound Train, Johnny B Goode, Memphis Tennessee, Let It Rock, You Never Can Tell, Roll Over Beethoven ..... My Ding a Ling 👍 He was the best
Such a well spoken and gentile man. I look forward to part 2 but I always feel a bit nervous when it comes to discussing his decline. I hope he continues the respectful kind way he spoke of him in part one when he discusses his ending. Vicki
thanks steve we met sam and linda a couple of years ago when linda was doing a book signing near beale street take care from the uk look forward to part 2
I listened to Linda's book, and thought she was great! Her brother seems also very nice, and a good story teller as well. Another great interview in the Elvis world!
Thank you so much Steve for this fantastic interview, what a great guy to listen to and I can't wait to hear part 2. These interviews make fans be closer to Elvis, there are for me because they are truthful and insightful 👌 Thank you Sam for your wonderful memories of Elvis. Xxx
What is very down to earth gentleman. He speaks so respectfully and honestly about Elvis. Love that he said hearing his parents’ voice on the tape meant such a lot to him, they were obviously a very close family. Great interview. Lovely man.
Hi Steve, Loved this interview!! Sam is such a Sincere gentleman and you can tell he really cared about Elvis and was a true friend as well as employee. Thanks So Much Steve and to Sam too🙏🙏❤️❤️ I will watch part 2 now. Thank you again😊
What an Excellant interview! I like both Sam and Linda who sincerely cared about Elvis. Both very intelligent too. The bit about Elvis saying to Sam "but people wont recognise me if I go out in disguise" made me laugh. It also reminds me of something that Linda said in her book... One night Elvis and Linda was walking to the Memphian when they crossed paths with a couple walking down down the street at the same time. The girl said "OMG you look just like Elvis Presley". Elvis stopped and said "Well honey I am." She said "OMG thats impossible you can't be". Elvis turned to Linda and said "Honey tell this girl who I am. Honey tell her, tell her".. Linda replies "You're not pulling that Elvis Presley crap again are you Charlie?" Linda said to the girl "He gets this Elvis Presley thing all the time." "Come on Charlie let's go". Elvis said "No, no, I want her to know its me. Tell her!" Then both Linda and Elvis started laughing. Linda admitted to the girl "Yeah it is Elvis!" ... The point being is .. Elvis wanted people to know he was Elvis !
Meu maravilhoso Elvis único e malhou cantar que já pisou na fase da terra destes planeta beijos te amo para sempre que saudade de você fica com Deus beijos..🎵🎼🌹🌹🥀🎶🎸🎶🎶🎸🥀🥀🌹🎼⚘
This interview only confirms what 99% of people say that got to know Elvis on a personal level. He never took his popularity and success for granted and never thought he was better than anyone else and was the most generous of all celebrities and did so much for people who had nothing and never expected anything in return. He had so much respect for.his parents and particularly his Mom. The world lost him much too soon. I am so grateful that I got to see him in concert in Las Vegas at the Hilton during his first tour there and I'm now 74 yrs. old and other than family it was the highlight of my life and I saw numerous celebrities in my 20's and no one could come close to his talent, his generosity and his handsome good looks and most importantly, his genuine relationship with God. We lost him far too soon. I resent that the Colonel prevented him from appearing in countries throughout the world because the Colonel had legal issues that would have prevented him (the Colonel) from re-entering the U S. if he went abroad.
Sam was lucky to be at the December '73 session. It's, by far, the best of the 1973 recording sessions, as well as one of Elvis' all-time best sessions.
Hi Steve what great interview you did with Sam Thompson. I listen to different interviews Sam Thompson did and learning a little bit more about Sam and Elvis. Looking forward to the 2nd part of your interview with Sam Thompson. Oh by the way I have a change of heart about the song Danny Boy. and all for good :) I will try to make it in for Sunday The Ultimate Fan Channel live and chat. I did come in late and got booted off. But I came back on then my Uncle was here for a visit as he was walking up the ramp he fell off the ramp. Needless to say I left the chat and shut down my lap top. Thank You for all you do :)
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel My Uncle has Parkinson Dease and his eyes sight is not good. It took my sister daughter to pick him up. But Thank You for asking about my Uncle. He is doing pretty good.
If Sam has done an interview maybe Linda might do, wouldn't that be great. I think Linda was with Elvis the longest apart from priscilla, was it 4 or 5 year. Of course like many of us I've watched some interviews with her but it be cool to hear you interview Linda xx
Hola, siempre me quedo enganchada cuando veo su canal veo que es muy interesante pero lamentablemente no hablo ingles solo utilizo el traductor en los comentarios para entender algo. Queria preguntarle si no puede poner subtitulos en español, somos muchos fans que se lo agradeceriamos en el mundo gracias. Perdon por molestarlo Con esta inquietud
Great interview!! I would love to hear that tape. How can I find it? I felt that if Elvis was still with Linda on the 16th he might still be with us. But only God knows that.
Steve this is a question I wish you could have asked Sam I dont know if you know this but there is a lot of controversy to whether that National Enquirer picture was actually a picture of Elvis as he appeared in 1977.There is a guy here goes by the name of Spa Guy he says he thinks the picture is fake he had examined the camera.He says he doesn't think that camera could take that picture.He thinks Mann took the picture but it didn't come out and the National Enquirer fixed it up.Just been bugging me for the longest time.
This Sam is a good guy. Reportedly, his sister was having a fling with David Briggs just before they broke up. I am sure if Elvis had found out, there would have been a big issue between Elvis and Briggs. I do not think SamThompson was aware of all of Elvis' medical conditions and why he took prescription meds for them.I just believe Elvis carefully chose whom to discuss such personal things..as we all do .All Sam would know is gossip and casual observation without knowing the reality..Appearances can often deceive.Ask two people to describe a robber, and the descriptions will be different and neither possibly accurate. I hope you asked him what Elvis' personality was like in the last few months.I maintain he was always positive and fun loving..even during his devastating illnesses (Marianne Cocke revelation) and that he was not a recluse in a negative way.As Ginger says, he had everything he needed in his quarters and did leave it from time to time. Mostly, friends always came to see him. Elvis had mostly ups with some downs.Why would we expect those to be different for him when most of us experience life the same way? Next, after your excellent interviews with Sam, please try to interview Dean Nichopolous who woll have a different perspective that Sam was not priviledged to..both men are honest, likable, forthright, and a good friend to Elvis both whom he trusted. Dean is one of only one of ten men on a commerative marker at Graceland, showing Elvis' trust and love for them and Dean. Another great interview would be the famous, grammy winning country singer T.G. Shepherd who hosts and Elvis show on Fridays on Elvis Sirius radio.He knew Elvis at age 16. He lived at Graceland.Elvis bought him a tour bus. He last saw Elvis on the day he died. Elvis is his idol and he has a great tribute song to Elvis.
I agree with you when you say " ask two different persons the same question and they'll both give you a different answer"! It's so hard to believe one more than the other, in Elvis's case, because so many lies have been said since his death, so we just do not know who's telling the truth anymore. I always say "we weren't there and Elvis isn't here to say what happened so we won't ever know THE truth!!"
@@vilmamoro1809 Vilma, I believe Elvis.He was known to be a very honest man.Gordon Stoker, who knew him from the onset, says he never ever knew Elvis to even tell a white lie. Everybody who knew him said he was very pious and Christian.He believed in the Bible and tried to follow its teachings.Except for his womanizing, he probably led a near spotless life.He got on his knees often, praying to our Lord. Elvis owed no explanation to anybody why he did what he did. It was his priviledge to tell them.And mostly he did not.so they assumed and never gave Elvis the benefit of the doubt.They assumed the worst. Dean Nicopolous, his security guard, said he never once saw Elvis messed up. He said he played hard racket ball with Elvis and Elvis could not have done that if he were messed up. Most of the others inhis group benefited by telling lies about Elvis.They lost their way of earning money so they kept on earning money by telling lies in books and interviews. Elvis knew what they were like as people and kept them employed because he forgave them.The truth about Elvis is so hard to get out because so many people have bought into the lies with so little evidence. I am an Elvis fan.I trust in his honesty and goodness.Gordon Soker and Ray Walker, backup singers, so Elvis was just too good for his own well being. They say his goodness killed him. Have you read Sally Hoedel's Destined to Die Young? Or watched her interview? Go to Globetrotting with Trey and watch her amazing interview. You will be a believer in Elvis with no doubt left . He was one of the great men.
Elvis is DEAD for over 40 years! Pricilla has made a lifetime money system out of it even thou Elvis wrote that she is NOT to use the Presley name or estate! Elvis WILL states this!
He did not have the authority to put any such thing in his will. Some people claim it was the divorce decree but so far no one has ever had the proof. It was her legal name so she had every right to use it
Dear Sam Elvis hurt your sister he ( Elvis ) used your sister for sexual pleasure and that's the truth dear Sam I know and Elvis hurt you to after all Linda was your sister I'm sorry but I'm not sorry for telling the truth he ( Elvis ) hurt your Daddy and mother .
That was a great interview and I'm sure he was very good at his job as security, and I'm sure him and Elvis were real good Friends. Very good interview.
I'm glad you enjoyed it...please check out my other interviews on the playlist
Oh I love that. I love that Elvis didn’t ever assume people knew who he was. He always introduced himself. He was such a gentle man to all he met.

One night Elvis and Linda was walking to the Memphian when they crossed paths with a couple walking down down the street at the same time. The girl said "OMG you look just like Elvis Presley". Elvis stopped and said "Well honey I am." She said "OMG thats impossible you can't be". Elvis turned to Linda and said "Honey tell this girl who I am. Honey tell her, tell her"..

I believe the photo to be genuine and shows Elvis in his casket
Hi. How do I get in contact with Judge Thompson? I was his clerk.
This Sam is a good guy. Reportedly, his sister was having a fling with David Briggs just before they broke up. I am sure if Elvis had found out, there would have been a big issue between Elvis and Briggs. I do not think SamThompson was aware of all of Elvis' medical conditions and why he took prescription meds for them.I just believe Elvis carefully chose whom to discuss such personal things..as we all do .All Sam would know is gossip and casual observation without knowing the reality..Appearances can often deceive.Ask two people to describe a robber, and the descriptions will be different and neither possibly accurate. I hope you asked him what Elvis' personality was like in the last few months.I maintain he was always positive and fun loving..even during his devastating illnesses (Marianne Cocke revelation) and that he was not a recluse in a negative way.As Ginger says, he had everything he needed in his quarters and did leave it from time to time. Mostly, friends always came to see him. Elvis had mostly ups with some downs.Why would we expect those to be different for him when most of us experience life the same way? Next, after your excellent interviews with Sam, please try to interview Dean Nichopolous who woll have a different perspective that Sam was not priviledged to..both men are honest, likable, forthright, and a good friend to Elvis both whom he trusted. Dean is one of only one of ten men on a commerative marker at Graceland, showing Elvis' trust and love for them and Dean. Another great interview would be the famous, grammy winning country singer T.G. Shepherd who hosts and Elvis show on Fridays on Elvis Sirius radio.He knew Elvis at age 16. He lived at Graceland.Elvis bought him a tour bus. He last saw Elvis on the day he died. Elvis is his idol and he has a great tribute song to Elvis.
I agree with you when you say " ask two different persons the same question and they'll both give you a different answer"!
It's so hard to believe one more than the other, in Elvis's case, because so many lies have been said since his death, so we just do not know who's telling the truth anymore. I always say "we weren't there and Elvis isn't here to say what happened so we won't ever know THE truth!!"
@@vilmamoro1809 Vilma, I believe Elvis.He was known to be a very honest man.Gordon Stoker, who knew him from the onset, says he never ever knew Elvis to even tell a white lie. Everybody who knew him said he was very pious and Christian.He believed in the Bible and tried to follow its teachings.Except for his womanizing, he probably led a near spotless life.He got on his knees often, praying to our Lord. Elvis owed no explanation to anybody why he did what he did. It was his priviledge to tell them.And mostly he did not.so they assumed and never gave Elvis the benefit of the doubt.They assumed the worst. Dean Nicopolous, his security guard, said he never once saw Elvis messed up. He said he played hard racket ball with Elvis and Elvis could not have done that if he were messed up. Most of the others inhis group benefited by telling lies about Elvis.They lost their way of earning money so they kept on earning money by telling lies in books and interviews. Elvis knew what they were like as people and kept them employed because he forgave them.The truth about Elvis is so hard to get out because so many people have bought into the lies with so little evidence. I am an Elvis fan.I trust in his honesty and goodness.Gordon Soker and Ray Walker, backup singers, so Elvis was just too good for his own well being. They say his goodness killed him. Have you read Sally Hoedel's Destined to Die Young? Or watched her interview? Go to Globetrotting with Trey and watch her amazing interview. You will be a believer in Elvis with no doubt left . He was one of the great men.
Linda was faithful to Elvis, she never fooled around on him. I don't know where these rumors come from.
Elvis is DEAD for over 40 years! Pricilla has made a lifetime money system out of it even thou Elvis wrote that she is NOT to use the Presley name or estate! Elvis WILL states this!
He did not have the authority to put any such thing in his will. Some people claim it was the divorce decree but so far no one has ever had the proof. It was her legal name so she had every right to use it
Dear Sam Elvis hurt your sister he ( Elvis ) used your sister for sexual pleasure and that's the truth dear Sam I know and Elvis hurt you to after all Linda was your sister I'm sorry but I'm not sorry for telling the truth he ( Elvis ) hurt your Daddy and mother .
How do you know? Share your relationship with Rlbod and Linda and her family and give proof.
