  • In this video The Spa Guy proves that the photo of Elvis and Kathy Selph on a motorcycle at an intersection in 1972 in Memphis is really Elvis and talks about who Kathy Selph was.. In order for you not to believe this is Elvis you have to believe that some random guy who happened to look like Elvis, got on an Expensive Harley Davidson motorcycle that looks identical to one Elvis owned at the time in 1972 and rode with no helmet, no tags, with a young girl on the back in a cape and Elvis sunglasses in Memphis a few miles from Graceland and it wasn't Elvis..

    I don't understand the haters out there. You're the most thorough Elvis historian I've ever seen. I absolutely love all of your video's and truly appreciate the effort it takes for you to bring them to us. The Elvis world is blessed to have you. Because of you his legacy will live on for many, many more years. It's important to have all of his historical biography recorded for generations to come. Thank you!

      Tresha Nations Ford . I agree! Spa Guy has taken us on many learning adventures most of us would never have known about! His videos provide a window to see Elvis' life as I never have! It's always an eye opener, to be able to see life as Elvis did. To be able to see it through EP's eyes. To see events as other's view points. We would not have these blessings without Spa Guy's efforts! Please continue to share your videos with those of us who truly enjoy them! Thank you Spa Guy!

      Billy... wonder who the young man is in the car? Looks like he is with his Dad. Probably lived within 5 miles from that intersection dont ya think? Its hard to see if his face was visible in the paper version but he and his father's fearures are clearly scene in the glossy photograph. Just saying, wouldnt it be cool to find him and hear his memories of that moment in time?
      Last, can you interview the photographer? Is he still around?

    The Spa Guy is an Elvis historian AND archeologist. He takes us “off road” and through some of the best Elvis experiences to ever be had on video. I feel that he has become a friend and I very much enjoy spending the time with him on these fabulous videos. He treats Elvis and us, the Elvis fans, with the greatest respect and sincerity. The subject of Kathy Selph has now become, in my opinion, a respected story and I feel has given her the respect that she deserves. A sweet and heartbreaking story. Thank you Spa Guy for bringing Kathy to us.

    I see there are lots of comments posted here already, but, one more from a Canadian may prove interesting. I say first of all - friends, don't invest any worry or mind the people who we call "haters." Since the WWW was first made available and graphics were developed [re: move a mouse pointer and click it??], this online environment spawned haters. Returning to this great presentation by our friend, "Spa Guy", this video is one of the finest presentations I have seen in all my years, and I am 55 years old. I do recall the picture of young Mary and Elvis riding on his Harley Davidson was featured in the Elvis magazines I purchased in the days when I was a teenager of the late 70s, but, as Spa Guy explains, no one knew who she was. Thank you, Spa Guy for solving another Elvis mystery story. My question based on what I have learned from the video, why did Elvis shout out to the photographer about having his picture taken?? I always assumed Elvis didn't mind people taking his picture?? Maybe there is another story behind the story here. Thank you , Spa Guy for investing the time and commitment to gathering all the details of Mary/s brief life with Elvis. I don't wish to end my note with a sad or maudlin point, but, the nature of the type of auto accident Mary experienced is not uncommon. Unfortunately, when a car hits one of those bridge abutments it often proves fatal. Simple physics. Search on TH-cam for a layman's explanation of Sir Isaac Newton's First Law. Spa Guy's video presented the concrete wall erected around the abutment later?? This move is to afford some degree of flexibility to the unfortunate driver should they collide with these concrete pillars. Rest in peace Mary Kathleen Selph and Elvis Aaron Presley. Best wishes for every success Spa Guy. We look forward to more of your video presentations.

I know I love Elvis just as much as everyone else and it was a sad day when he passed away . But.... it's important to remember she was someone special also , especially to her family and friends and even Elvis . I'm glad you were able to find out all of this information about Kathy . If I'm ever in Memphis I'll be sure to pay my respects to her grave . I hope you find Elvis's motorcycle one day . Thanks for sharing this information Spa Guy .

I didn't know the woman with him until early today when I first watched this video and have looked at several times and just wanted to thank you for finding all the great videos about Elvis. It was very thoughtful of you to look up the info. on Kathleen. This way very sad news, most of been terribly difficult for Elvis. Elvis really went through some rough times, constantly loosing the people he cared about and loved ones like his mom, a devastating time. So very sad for this young lady ; only 20 ; she had not had time to even really begin living an adult life. Well at least they are together in heaven and probably singing with the angels in God's heavenly choir. Please keep your new stories coming. 😇😇

Now I'm almost 44 and last year I really started to listen and get into Elvis. I'm just blown away at how amazingly talented singer he was & his loving generosity to family and friends. Being we are close in age, im wondering if you got that character impression growing up?

      Drugs, changes people's looks, depending on what they are doing at the time!! (He was doing a little bit of everything at some point in his life) His buddy's said the military turned him into a addict, he was a different person when he returned home!! You can tell he was trying to get sober in his later yrs, because of the weight gain, but he traded one habit for another, he wasn't healthy!!
      People don't know what Elvis actually looked like!! He was born with blonde hair, and blue eyes, he died his hair black, an wore makeup to make his eyes stand out!! The drugs took a toll on his body through the years!! (When he was skinny he was one younger, two speeding his balls off, and then when he started becoming distant, an depressed he got into the downers, an gained weight!! You also gain a lot of weight when you get sober from the downers) People don't understand how the body works!! 🤷🥴

    Billy, you continue to impress me. Your presentations say a lot about you as a person. First when you left guitar strings in the Lauderdale apartment for others to enjoy, then your desire to help the Vernon house be restored, and now with Ms. Mary Kathy Selphs. I remember seeing your first video on the picture of Elvis with Kathy (now on first name with her thanks to you). In that video the picture kind of pulled me in. I thought "Who is that girl?" "Why was she with Elvis?" I wanted more, and you obviously thought the same thing. You are sentimental and a kind person. I'm certain all your followers love that about you. You are also a no-nonsense and sincere guy. Hope to meet you and your wife in person one day. I'm also intrigued at your investigative skills. Also now I like how you are editing your presentations and the sequence. All the topics so very interesting and captivating.

    I don't know if this is fact, but I read this in Donna Lewis' 3rd book, "Hurry Home Elvis." Donna mentions Kathleen several times in the June and July entries. She says that Kathleen was a go-go dancer at TJ's. She mentions Kathleen and Elvis riding Sun in the pasture, and mentions them at the airport. She also says that Elvis bought two Mark IV's and that he gifted one of them to Kathleen and kept the other one. She said that after Elvis gave Kathleen the car, she hadn't been seen at Graceland and it was probably a parting gift to her. She's not mentioned again for almost a month. But then Donna says her friend Dorise called her and told her that Kathleen had been killed in a car wreck that morning- July 19th. Donna says that it seems that Kathleen had been at TGI Fridays and that she was quite angry with Elvis for dumping her. She said that he thought he could get rid of her by giving her the car, but he was terribly mistaken. Donna said that a reporter was at the gate trying to get the scoop on Elvis and Kathleen. Like I said, I don't know this to be fact, but I got this from Donna's book. If it's true, it's really quite sad. She probably thought he cared more for her. I can only imagine being in her shoes, especially at such a young age. I just wonder if Kathleen was driving the car Elvis gave her.

    Such a sad story and I feel so for Mary Kathleen. To have passed so young. It seems strange that she got a phone call and left her supper to go where ever and was killed. Seems there is more to the story, but I guess we will never know what really happened to her. I did love learning about her and seeing these photo's though! I hadn't seen these before I don't think. No, the one photo isn't the greatest photo of Elvis, it doesn't look like it at first, but I think it is because they were in movement come to the light and it was just the shot captured. I know I've captured photo's and they didn't look like the person. The second photo definitely looks like Elvis. So I have no doubt it was Elvis and Mary Kathleen. Thank you Bill for honoring this young woman who captured Elvis' heart. She deserves this recognition, may she rest in peace. To bad her brother wasn't very nice or forthcoming. I also thank you Billy, for another piece of the Elvis puzzle. All of the Elvis info needs to be put into a huge book, but the book would be to large for anyone to handle probably!

That could've been what caused her to wreck, bless her heart. If Vernon attended her funeral she must've made an impression on the Presley family. Elvis was apparently very upset when he heard the new's about Kathy loosing her life. Such a tragedy to go so young, praying Elvis and Kathy are in a better place together now.

Show the inside of the car. And think of the conversations that went on in that car. Or show the radio and think of the early music that filled that car in the 50s. You get to open the drivers door just like Elvis and sit where he did. Can you imagine driving that car during the day ? People would be taking pics like crazy. Or find out Scotty and Bill was in that car. Just a thought spa guy. Keep up the great work.

He always had that but the rest of him is solid built. There were no impersonators then like the 80's. My sister got his son's scarf at a concert some 15 yrs ago. I was in Hawaii in 64-65 an 69-70, but in the picture 7/72 in Athens, Ga before moving to Calif. When Elvis was in Hawaii for his movies in the early to mid 60's he created a son as it is said. That was when the
      Beatles took over the news performing. It was in Aug 69 that I sat 10 feet from Elvis watching him perform at the International Hotel while I ate from the menu a $15 New York Strip Steak. My sister across from me as we attended many a concert when she was along. My Dad and brother along were most impressed with his performance only having a microphone, bar stool and guitar and wearing comfortably bell bottoms and pull over ring zippered shirt while he was solo.

      Elvis’ cousin (that worked for him) said also that he had a few cosmetic face procedures done in 1972…. I’m willing to bet that maybe that could also be the puffiness… aside from the poor diet and drugs…. That’s also the year that he and Priscilla separated and he was pretty heartbroken over that….stress does horrible things to the body… on top of his lifestyle…

    Now the main picture is available in color. Can't remember the studio name that colorized the picture but I think it will be good to added into another video. (because I don't think this is a final video of Kathy)
