Elvis was so loving and giving. He took in 3 little boy's and loved them with all of his heart. Just hearing them talk about how Elvis opening his home and heart to them make's me love him even more. I've alway's been a big Elvis fan since I was old enough to know he existed. I got teased a lot by my family but I didn't care, I loved Elvis so much nothing they could say bothered me. I guess because it was all true, even as a child I knew there was something very special about Elvis. Now I know why he's loved by so many people, everyone he came in contact with has something good to say about him. Elvis's generosity was a big part of who he was and how he made decision's. He loved deeply, I think Glady's taught him how to love everyone. He didn't pick and choose he was just too kind hearted to put himself above anyone else. Elvis will never truly die, his memory will go down in history as one of the kindest and most loving person in the entertainment industry. Elvis knew Jesus was the real King but Elvis will alway's be our king of rock and roll and don't forget his gospel music I loved his gospel music more than anything. God bless all Elvis fan's, we don't judge him because he made mistake's, his health was also failing and he gave us all he had as long as he could. He literally gave too much of himself and it cost him his life, be kind, Elvis was very kind and loving and he deserve's nothing less.
@@patriciahanson-locke4143 No they don't mention a lot of good things about Elvis! It's just really good to know there are so many people who still love and admire Elvis! God bless you Patricia! I hope everything is well with you and your family!
@Eye. stupid Benny Spy YOU did Not love Elvis !!! When you love someone you love everything about him and those little boys were Elvis's brothers. Elvis loved them. Elvis was all they knew and they adored their big brother. What is wrong with you!!! Why do You do not get the concept of love.
Elvis was so generous and loving to them, not because he had to be but he realized that they were his little step brother's by marriage and embraced them with love and Welcomed them into his life.
I think Elvis saw 3 little boys that lost their daddy, he couldn’t turn his back on them he was just so compassionate to a fault even to people that betrayed him he could forgive practically as fast as the betrayal was done ! Elvis had such a good heart and l think that’s one reason the Lord took him on home !putting him out of all the suffering he was going through ! RIP to all the people gone before us ‘ 🙏❤️
Elvis taught us how to love everybody in the world - what a touching testimonial! You learnt the sense of humour from him too -Are you more famous than Mickey Mouse? A lot of people think I I am !!! Pure genuine talk that social media kind of killed...
Since Elvis adored his 2 step brothers (I think they were 3)and embraced them with open arms and love,why isn't Lisa Marie close with them ? If they were in fact a big part of Elvis' life,why doesn't Priscilla Presely ever speak about them or acknowledge them? Just 😔?
They did not grow up in the Graceland mansion. After Vernon married their mother,Elvis bought his father a house close to Graceland. I watched a documentry about it. Elvis did not like knowing is father was sleeping with another woman in his home. They did not grow up with Elvis Elvis was a grown man when Vernon married their mother.

I didn't approve of how they made money off of Elvis after he passed away and they were grown men. To them Elvis was money, money, money the older they got.
I believe Elvis treated the Stanley brothers more like a big daddy then their own Dad did or Vernon. that's right Elvis was Love a taught everyone how to love people. Elvis I believe didn't like people s ways but he love their soul. I'm like that to God wants us to be kind a love people pray for them love their soul but not their sins.
I'm glad to hear all the good they had to say about Elvis as every one does there's no doubt in my mind that if this was Vernon wanted Elvis did his best to accept and respect his dad didn't mean he had to live with Dee or like it
Everybody is so RIGHT about these men..They didn't care about their big brother Elvis !! They just made money off of Elviss name..Elvis was too good to them...
Elvis was NOT their brother. They are no relation to Elvis at all. Their mother was a lying gold digger and their father was a drunk. They did NOT live at Graceland.
@@jacquelineloveselvis what the heck are you doing about? You are entitled to your opinions but not your own facts. They were STEP brothers to Elvis. And in many families, that means simply brothers. And YES they did live at Graceland. As in on the Graceland property. Right behind.
@@TomSmith-dt4tj - They lived there for a very short transient time. When they first moved back to the US they were put in an orphanage. Then Vernon married their mother and collected them from the orphanage and moved them into Graceland for a very short time. Elvis did not want that woman in his mothers home. Elvis soon bought them another house nearby. They moved a couple of times and eventually Elvis had another house built for them on Dolan Street which they moved into in 1964. They talk as if they lived with Elvis at Graceland - they did not. They were brought up on Dolan Street. They were no relation to Elvis. They were his father's wife's kids. By the way, Elvis' father separated from the Stanley woman in 1974. These are the facts. You obviously do not know the terrible salacious lies this family told about Elvis after he died. Vile people. The sons definitely took after their mother. Vile human beings.
@Eye. stupid Benny Spy there are plenty of MM members who disagree with you. As for leaving money, Elvis left NOTHING to ANYONE except Lisa Marie. So the fact he didnt leave the stanley brothers any money means nothing. And yes, they lived on the Graceland grounds. Maybe not in the mansion itself, but the grounds. Its well documented. Again, you are free to hate the stanleys. but your hate doesnt translate into facts.
@@jacquelineloveselvis well i have talked to many MM Mafia members who disagree with you. Were you there all those years? NO. so most/if not all what you say are just opinions. And only that. opinions. Which you are entitled to. But not your own facts.ill listen to people who actually knew the stanleys before ill listen to any random person on the internet. were they perfect? no. could they have done some nasty things? maybe. He who is without sin cast the first stone. They were with Elvis at the end so he must have thought something of them. But I wasnt there. And neither were you. I however try to stay positive and listen to the good stories they tell. Like Spa guy said on his most recent video which featured Billy Stanley--no haters allowed on his channel. And i enjoyed learning about the the things Billy talked about that he and EP did.
This week marks the official rerelease of David E. Stanley’s extraordinary film ‘PROTECTING THE KING’. First released in 2007, ‘PROTECTING THE KING’ is the personal story of his life on the road with his stepbrother Elvis Presley LAS VEGAS, NV, June 30, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ - This week marks the official rerelease of David E. Stanley ‘s extraordinary film ‘PROTECTING THE KING’. First released in 2007, ‘PROTECTING THE KING’ is the personal story of his life on the road with his stepbrother Elvis Presley during the last five self-destructive years of the King’s life. “This film is not the Elvis Presley story,” says Stanley, who spent seventeen years living, growing up, and working with Elvis from 1960 to his untimely death in 1977. “That story is beautifully told in the recently released multi-million-dollar budget film ELVIS, directed by Baz Luhrmann,” Stanley adds. Written and directed by Stanley, ‘PROTECTING THE KING’ is an independent film that follows David’s life as a personal aide and bodyguard to his beloved big brother, “a true story of brotherly love”. The film does not focus on high collars, side burns and hound dogs but rather on the struggles that Elvis and David both incurred during the final five years of the King’s life. During those years, Elvis’s prescription drug use went from use, to massive abuse. David, who is only sixteen when he went to work for Elvis, finds himself deeply concerned at the abuse he finds his big brother bestowing upon himself. David makes multiple attempts to intervene in Elvis’s abuse, but to no avail. He eventually discovers that he could protect the King from everything except the King Himself. In the end, David is unable to save his beloved brother’s life. PROTECTING THE KING is now available for streaming and DVD purchase at www.protectingtheking.com Impello Entertainment, Inc., is an independent film company that focuses on creating and producing compelling stories told through the mediums of film, television, and publishing for distribution in the worldwide marketplace.
Vernon, Elvis's dad said that THESE TWO DID NOT LIVE WITH Elvis. THEY lived NEXT DOOR!! Everyone wants to claim Elvis and These two are lying!! You hear how they wanted to be on TV. Shameful!!
Makes me sorry I read their book "Elvis We Love You Tender." Paints not exactly the nicest picture of Elvis. All the partying, women, drugs, hookers, cheating, etc... Contradictory!
@@Wildlife_SA. Even if Elvis did some "things" that were on the salacious side, who is perfect? We're all flawed humans. I agree, these "so-called friends," why in the world would they publish the things which a dead man can't address? I'm no rock star, but there are things in my past which are better left unpublished! 😂It's a shame so many people made money off this guy, whether dead or alive. Poor guy got no respect. 😞
think the only decent one was Billy rick i wouldn't give anything for seemed he couldn't dig the knife deeper after elvis died talking about him and the drugs when he was a druggy himself
These guys are so full of it first they say he was so kind and generous he taught them to be kind and love everyone, then they say bad things about this poor man hw wS so good to them they will say anything for money it makes me sick they take and take. Makes me so sad
So, So Awesome, these guys not taking cheap shots at a beloved figure of history! They seem honest, happy and He ( Elvis) came across as the perfect Big brother. Wonderful stories. Seems, if Elvis had an intervention for Drugs, we would be wowed by many more stories. But, if Elvis had not been taken so early, at a high point in his success, he might have been able to settle into normality. If you compare that to other very famous Celebrities. Normal for them, is hard to fathom for the rest of us.
@@bentrishaleemartin926 David makes money off Elvis’ name daily. He’s used as an attraction at westgate Las Vegas resort for the guests to come see him as “Elvis Presley’s brother”
The Stanley brothers have shared some good and bad stories and experiences over the years now they're older maybe they're a bit wiser I don't know but I remember reading the first book We Love You Tender..there wasn't much love in that one it was more like a chronicle of dysfunction and how screwed up they were and how screwed up Elvis was and how he was to blame for all of their problems. Maybe now they see that they were in a priviledged position that many people would have been grateful for -whatever problems they had were of their own making.Elvis did not like their mother Dee Stanley but he didn't let it show for his fathers sake - he took care of her boys because felt an obligation to as a step brother. I don't think they got that.
I believe Dee Stanley got alittle too close for comfort. to Elvis a Elvis told his dad a after that Vernon didn't trust her anymore. a they divorced. I believe Elvis tried to be respectful a nice a loving as he could be to all the Stanley's. ,,,,,,but that just the way Elvis was he had a forgiving loving humble heart who was hurt by alot of people he knew. Elvis didn't trust people easily. ,,,, a picked his own men to be his body guards too bad 20 yrs later he found out he was being used a had been betrayed by people he loved a knew a trusted. it made him sad a Angry I believe but I don't believe Elvis was a revengfull man ,,,he was a loving concerate forgiving man ,,,,a cheerful giver. I also bought he was a religious believing God fearing man who expressed his love a Rember for God w his Gosple songs. no body sung Gosple songs like Elvis did it was no act he was very serious a under conviction singer. He knew he waisted many yrs doing wrong a not pleasing God w his work s I believe that's why he had trouble resting. because God was chasing Elvis a he was climbing that mountain of regrets a sin a Elvis wanted to make it right w God I believe he did.
Elvis was a twin. His brother Jessie born sti born. What a difference life would have been if those grew up banging knuckles? What if Gladys doesntvduecatv46? Elvis never joins the Army? Priscilla doesn't divorce him? The Army & Hollywood never gave him amphetamines? Hollywood took him more seriously? Cool Parker wasn't a chronic gambler,? We all differ loss and know pain. Elvis carried a load. In the end he self-medicared and lived in denial about his addictions.Elvis tired of being the celebrity, depressed, medically ill, isolated and severely constipated. R.I.P.
So many people were not true friends of Elvis n wrote books about Elvis. I have read several, Ginger lied about going to marry E. Charlie, n Vernon revealed these facts. I met Charlie Hodge in 2004, n Ronnie Tutt, Glen Harden, n James Burten. They were true friends along with Jerry, Joe n Larry. Sonny n Red wrote piece of trash book when Elvis made them leave so they decided to write the book n make money off of facts about Elvis. This book really hurt Elvis. This all doesn't mean David n Rick were not friends with E, but wanted just to give information of about how things were like. Elvis had Jesus n Gospel music to get thru life. Jesus was King of all King's he said n he was just an entertainer he said. I could give more facts about Elvis but would take too long to explain.
He wrote Elvis commited suicide, they all wrote lie after lie about E, lead by the evil mother who convinced them to murder Elvis.They dont know it but they failed. WWG1WGA
i would like to put the story right far as i am concerned they come across fine i met david last year and spoke to him .he is a great guy he had lot of time for elvis fans if you get a chance to meet him say hello from me paul from england
Paul Martin David on the tv show Unsolved Mysteries said Elvis committed suicide. And his Mother Dee on the Geraldo show claimed Elvis had sex with his mother and with a man another time. I find these two at least money Hungary. When they lived on Dolan they had a connecting gate to the back of Graceland property and I am sure they were there daily and as kids felt they did live on property
@@kaleaniejoy5442 thank you , that’s what thought, but my friend insisted 2 of them passed , I couldn’t find anything except on Ricky . I appreciate the response
They didn’t ask to be involved you nut . They were just toddlers. Why do people hate them when they actually have some really cool stories to share about Elvis. I’ve never heard any of these men say one negative comment about Elvis 🖕
I lived around these guys. Whitehaven was a blessing to hzve grown up in. Nice place with no worries. But the drugs were readily available. I went to there house and they had a book of photos that was 4 ft b 2 foot. They had pictures of about every great rock back on stage. They would get backstage passes i guess cause some of the pictures were right of the stage and directly off the front foot of the stage. My va
Ουδείς αχάριστος του ευεργετηθεντος! That's an ancient motto we have in Greece and it means: a benefited person who's unappreciative is the surest enemy!
Elvis probably ID say was Dad a big brother to these Stanley Brothers they should have appreciated him more Elvis was a man who needed alot of Attention a love. ,,, he never received too much only from his mother a fans we still love a Miss him I believe the only way Elvis could show his love through his money gifs a songs
To nie sa bracia przyrodni, nie maja ani wspolnej matki ani wspolnego ojca, ale bracia przyrodni dobrze brzmi i stawia ich w lepszej pozycji, sa nieszczerzy, klamia, nie da sie ich lubic..!!!!!!!!! Dlaczego nie powiedza , ze Elvis nie lubial ich matki, ktora sie w nim zakochala, a gdy on ja odrzucil , napisala o nim oszczercza ksiazke, a oni promowali ja razem z nia, dla pieniedzy zrobia i powiedza wszystko..!!!!!!!
Elvis hated the gardener at Graceland. On June 4th 1967 my friend and I witnessed him marching down the driveway to the main gate at Graceland. When he approached the gate he made a hard military right and marched straight over to the gardener. He yelled at the gardener accusing him having an affair with Priscilla. The only words the gardener got out was "No, I didn't" then he immediately received a direct fist to his mouth that knocked him cold. The Elvis marched with great anger and vigor back up the driveway. He never once noticed the two of us standing outside the front gate.
Pricila was 1 month pregnant with Liza Marie having an affair. He never his wife having.a Affair with MIKE STONE he f Didn't take any action.stone was one of the best karate fighter.💪
Their mother divorced their father and married elvis's father vernon.... but they claim elvis was their big brother.... I call bullshit. That would have made him younger than not older
Many years ago ( 30 Plus ) I met the 3rd brother, Rick Stanley, at church - what a testimony & he wasn't capitalizing on his deceased, brother’s name!🥲
Ricky is the one that was bringing the drug packets to Elvis. THAT NIGHT. They were all admitted druggies. I always wondered what he really gave to Elvis that night. Funny the 2 that were involved that night. David & Ricky turned to the lord. Right after that. What a shame THEY were the ones taking care of him. And we’re mad at. Red. Sonny. David stories are repeats & changes every time he opens his mouth. The shame of it is. They were there & I wasn’t.
Stop worshiping this Narcissistic addict man like a God ! Elvis had mental and health illness(depression) brought on by use of sleeping pills , opiate pharmaceutical drugs , eating junk food , sleeping all day and being awake all night , .Drinking alcohol , whores , woman , parties ,. A 24-7 sick unhealthy life style . Drugs and his life style led him to his cardiac arrest the addiction to prescription drugs . Elvis was in "severe debt" and was obligated to do two shows a night regardless of how terrible he felt and how exhausted he was . When you spend more that you make you become a debt slave to all that live off you .(leaches) he had to pay and feed all those bums and leaches around him including his family ,,.his unhealthy sick life style style kill him . Elvis was a drug addict , a sex addict , a junk food addict , a Narcissistic addict ...Elvis was a peado he was knocking around with a girl of 13years old called Priscilla and had many pygama parties with teenage girls under the age 17 . He was no jesus ~! People believed about him supposedly reading the bible, the believing in God thing was purely a PR thing to appeal to as many fans as possible as a religious moral man ,he was the opposite . His image was something he could never live up to, ..it was a "well crafted" "image" by his manager but the person behind it was nothing like it and he knew was doing. The pharmacist who filled the prescriptions for elvis was , Jack kirsch, filled 5,684 pills for Elvis. He lost his pharmaceutical license in 1980 . Because of his elevated status he was virtually untouchable. He clicked his fingers and everyone ran to his command. This is what happens when you put someone on a pedestal. Elvis was a A womanizer ..he was a Men who are emotionally unavailable, due to patterns of dysfunctional love. Unpredictable, dishonest, high ego, charming, full of charisma, completely irresistible, extremely seductive. They hold your attention like nobody else, all out of an unconscious desire to prove constantly that they are real men by the number of conquests they can make, they actually need permanent external validation from different women, so they dont sense love with them, as they banalized them as objects to get attention or sex. .....Elvis copied and stole the black folks music and dance movements .The guy makes more money dead than when he was alive !!...he's a "" Cash cow"" !! her useless drug addict daughter and the family are swimming in millions ! and the rest of the parasites are also making money ! hes a cash cow even tho he's dead . Elvis copied and stole the black folks music and all the dance movements .The guy makes more money dead than when he was alive !!...he's a million dollar "" Cash cow"" for many people including his family and friends . He became nothing more than cabaret circus show at the end of his career, a bit of a freak show really. When you sell your soul to the Devil , drugs , whores and sick life style ......The Universel law is call KARMA ! sooner or later you pay for your past sins ..live a decent life and God will reward you that simple . Life is a Bitch if you play it wrong and you lose at the end ! you make your destiny everyday you get up ! “Life is like a garden, you reap what you sow.” the Universal law is the same for every human on the planet .No human is above no one !.... stop worshiping this man like a God! Watch this video ..the truth about Elvis... no B.S .No hype , the truth ! .... th-cam.com/video/z2i6Z731uIM/w-d-xo.html
hey mikael Vitaly Vyacheslav didnt know you lived in Graceland, or hung out with elvis. Were You part of his inner circle ? If Not Then dont write crap. Priscilla was 14 when Elvis ( he was in his twenties) met her in Germany. He was in the army then. He Met her with her parent's consent. She came to live with him WITH HER PARENT'S CONSENT. He never touched her till after they were married. Surely You Dont know more about their relationship than Priscilla, who was his wife!!! Did you know that Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman was in a sexual relationship with 14 year old mandy Smith. Wyman was 47 at that time. He married her when she turned 18. As for stealing black music ...he didnt steal it. All muscians did and still do covers eg: Hey Joe was originally written and sung by Billy Roberts and later Hendrix. Have you heard Judas Priest sing Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust. There are thousands of such examples. Elvis made the lovely Black music mainstream. junk food? dont you eat burgers, chips etc Alcohol? Drugs? Women? In America and Europe show me one rock star who didnt indulge in them....PLEASE stop this Rubbish. If You hate Elvis Go ahead thats YOUR EMOTION NOT OURS.

Brilliant Brenda
I wonder if they even know how
blessed they were to spend 17 years with a legend?
That's so awesome they were both So lucky
Stories of Elvis and his amazing love and generosity are always heart warming and it really gives you a glimpse into the soul of a great human being.
Elvis full of heart not a cruel or arrogant bone in his body !! Happy to have 3 brothers 🆒👑❤️
elvis embraced them as brothers......families by marriage are never easy ...elvis had so much love he shared it ...my little brothers
Vernon, Elvis dad said they did not live with Elvis. THEY lived NEXT DOOR!!
Elvis always wanted siblings, especially brothers 😊
That’s great, Elvis taught them to love everyone! Love to hear the Stanley brothers talk. Great guys!
Billy was getting choked up there remembering that first hug. So sweet.
I think Elvis saw 3 little boys that lost their daddy, he couldn’t turn his back on them he was just so compassionate to a fault even to people that betrayed him he could forgive practically as fast as the betrayal was done ! Elvis had such a good heart and l think that’s one reason the Lord took him on home !putting him out of all the suffering he was going through ! RIP to all the people gone before us ‘ 🙏❤️
Elvis taught us how to love everybody in the world - what a touching testimonial! You learnt the sense of humour from him too -Are you more famous than Mickey Mouse? A lot of people think I I am !!! Pure genuine talk that social media kind of killed...
Beautiful. Thank you.

I never knew this about Elvis’s stepbrothers!! Even they says he was a brother and friend to them! That’s why he’s the GOAT ( GREATEST OF ALL TIME)!!
You guys are so sweet to care about Elvis like he did ya'll.
Elvis was a loving, fun, kind guy. Rare.
This made me very happy and sad at the same time they loved elvis
This is why GOD love's ELVIS he is love
Billy and David Stanley. The internet refuses to let anyone know who the people are that are related to him. Thanks for this.
They aren’t related. Their pig mother married Vernon and later cut Elvis to pieces in her bullshit book. That’s it. No more Elvis brother than I am.
They did not grow up in the Graceland mansion.
After Vernon married their mother,Elvis bought his father a house close to Graceland.
I watched a documentry about it.
Elvis did not like knowing is father was sleeping with another woman in his home.
They did not grow up with Elvis
Elvis was a grown man when Vernon married their mother.
One day in the spring of 1960, a big Lincoln Continental carrying Vernon and Dee pulled up in front of Breezy Point Farms. After their mother introduced Billy, Rick, and David, ages 7, 6, and 4 respectively, to their “new daddy,” the car whisked the boys to their new home-Graceland.
That's right.....I'm sure they would be at Graceland for this and that. They didn't live in Graceland.
Elvis, a kind and generous soul.❤❤❤🤍
"I say that to say this" AWSM line David and love that it was you who coined it.
Elvis was so compassionate.
Zbog prodaje knjige su uvrstili Elvisa kao brata, a pišu laži o njemu zato što je bio protiv braka oca sa njihovom majkom. To je Cillino društvo sa kojim je radila protiv Elvisa. Elvis je bio i ostat će legenda.
I love this interview, why havent we seen more of these men and thier stories of living with Elvis?
These guys are really great men!!
I believe your brother and Elvis are with our Lord Jesus Christ.
so so precious!!!!
Any true Elvis fan would give the Stanleys a big fat nothing.
Right? Why are they not concerned about their brother
maybe they should give YOU a big fat nothing. Quit spewing hatred and get a life.
No blood kin but Elvis had a heart of gold and they were just little kids when Vernon married thier Mom so Elvis treated them like kids should be treated them so good. I didn't approve of how they made money off of Elvis after he passed away and they were grown men. To them Elvis was money, money, money the older they got.
😱😱😱😱😱
I believe Elvis treated the Stanley brothers more like a big daddy then their own Dad did or Vernon. that's right Elvis was Love a taught everyone how to love people.

Again, you are free to hate the stanleys. but your hate doesnt translate into facts.
@@jacquelineloveselvis well i have talked to many MM Mafia members who disagree with you. Were you there all those years? NO. so most/if not all what you say are just opinions. And only that. opinions. Which you are entitled to. But not your own facts.ill listen to people who actually knew the stanleys before ill listen to any random person on the internet. were they perfect? no. could they have done some nasty things? maybe. He who is without sin cast the first stone. They were with Elvis at the end so he must have thought something of them. But I wasnt there. And neither were you. I however try to stay positive and listen to the good stories they tell. Like Spa guy said on his most recent video which featured Billy Stanley--no haters allowed on his channel. And i enjoyed learning about the the things Billy talked about that he and EP did.
This week marks the official rerelease of David E. Stanley’s extraordinary film ‘PROTECTING THE KING’. First released in 2007, ‘PROTECTING THE KING’ is the personal story of his life on the road with his stepbrother Elvis Presley
LAS VEGAS, NV, June 30, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ - This week marks the official rerelease of David E. Stanley ‘s extraordinary film ‘PROTECTING THE KING’. First released in 2007, ‘PROTECTING THE KING’ is the personal story of his life on the road with his stepbrother Elvis Presley during the last five self-destructive years of the King’s life. “This film is not the Elvis Presley story,” says Stanley, who spent seventeen years living, growing up, and working with Elvis from 1960 to his untimely death in 1977. “That story is beautifully told in the recently released multi-million-dollar budget film ELVIS, directed by Baz Luhrmann,” Stanley adds.
Written and directed by Stanley, ‘PROTECTING THE KING’ is an independent film that follows David’s life as a personal aide and bodyguard to his beloved big brother, “a true story of brotherly love”. The film does not focus on high collars, side burns and hound dogs but rather on the struggles that Elvis and David both incurred during the final five years of the King’s life. During those years, Elvis’s prescription drug use went from use, to massive abuse. David, who is only sixteen when he went to work for Elvis, finds himself deeply concerned at the abuse he finds his big brother bestowing upon himself. David makes multiple attempts to intervene in Elvis’s abuse, but to no avail. He eventually discovers that he could protect the King from everything except the King Himself. In the end, David is unable to save his beloved brother’s life.
PROTECTING THE KING is now available for streaming and DVD purchase at www.protectingtheking.com
Impello Entertainment, Inc., is an independent film company that focuses on creating and producing compelling stories told through the mediums of film, television, and publishing for distribution in the worldwide marketplace.
Can I stream it anywhere to watch?
They were so lucky to have lived with Elvis .he respected everyone.each on there on merits too.
They did NOT live with Elvis, ffs. They are habitual liars. They lived on Dolan Street with their mother.
Vernon, Elvis's dad said that THESE TWO DID NOT LIVE WITH Elvis. THEY lived NEXT DOOR!!
Everyone wants to claim Elvis and These two are lying!! You hear how they wanted to be on TV.
Shameful!!
Makes me sorry I read their book "Elvis We Love You Tender." Paints not exactly the nicest picture of Elvis. All the partying, women, drugs, hookers, cheating, etc... Contradictory!
@@Wildlife_SA. Even if Elvis did some "things" that were on the salacious side, who is perfect? We're all flawed humans. I agree, these "so-called friends," why in the world would they publish the things which a dead man can't address? I'm no rock star, but there are things in my past which are better left unpublished! 😂It's a shame so many people made money off this guy, whether dead or alive. Poor guy got no respect. 😞
Where is Rick here? I know he passed this year, but he's really nice.
think the only decent one was Billy rick i wouldn't give anything for seemed he couldn't dig the knife deeper after elvis died talking about him and the drugs when he was a druggy himself
These guys are so full of it first they say he was so kind and generous he taught them to be kind and love everyone, then they say bad things about this poor man hw wS so good to them they will say anything for money it makes me sick they take and take. Makes me so sad
So, So Awesome, these guys not taking cheap shots at a beloved figure of history! They seem honest, happy and He ( Elvis) came across as the perfect Big brother. Wonderful stories. Seems, if Elvis had an intervention for Drugs, we would be wowed by many more stories. But, if Elvis had not been taken so early, at a high point in his success, he might have been able to settle into normality. If you compare that to other very famous Celebrities. Normal for them, is hard to fathom for the rest of us.
Gelosy judas boys
you still live on Elvis name !
AND cilla, ect..
All $$$
Not even a little bit.. I know for a fact they aren’t making anything off his name
Jealousy**
@@bentrishaleemartin926 David makes money off Elvis’ name daily. He’s used as an attraction at westgate Las Vegas resort for the guests to come see him as “Elvis Presley’s brother”
Is Elvis’s step-brothers still alive?
Yes, they are. With the exception of Rick, who passed away in 2019, at the age of 65.
FIRST of all Elvis did drive a pink Cadillac, it was his 1st car, & 2nd Elvis 💜d his 🚘cars !!! He had every 🚘 under the sun !!! 🤗
The Stanley brothers have shared some good and bad stories and experiences over the years now they're older maybe they're a bit wiser I don't know but I remember reading the first book We Love You Tender..there wasn't much love in that one it was more like a chronicle of dysfunction and how screwed up they were and how screwed up Elvis was and how he was to blame for all of their problems. Maybe now they see that they were in a priviledged position that many people would have been grateful for -whatever problems they had were of their own making.Elvis did not like their mother Dee Stanley but he didn't let it show for his fathers sake - he took care of her boys because felt an obligation to as a step brother. I don't think they got that.
They lived with Elvis
Correction...they lived OFF Elvis
They may have even been privileged enough to have seen Elvis's dirty underwear. I think you can find a pair on Ebay for 10k.
I believe Dee Stanley got alittle too close for comfort. to Elvis a Elvis told his dad a after that Vernon didn't trust her anymore. a they divorced. I believe Elvis tried to be respectful a nice a loving as he could be to all the Stanley's. ,,,,,,but that just the way Elvis was he had a forgiving loving humble heart who was hurt by alot of people he knew. Elvis didn't trust people easily. ,,,, a picked his own men to be his body guards too bad 20 yrs later he found out he was being used a had been betrayed by people he loved a knew a trusted. it made him sad a Angry I believe but I don't believe Elvis was a revengfull man ,,,he was a loving concerate forgiving man ,,,,a cheerful giver. I also bought he was a religious believing God fearing man who expressed his love a Rember for God w his Gosple songs. no body sung Gosple songs like Elvis did it was no act he was very serious a under conviction singer. He knew he waisted many yrs doing wrong a not pleasing God w his work s I believe that's why he had trouble resting. because God was chasing Elvis a he was climbing that mountain of regrets a sin a Elvis wanted to make it right w God I believe he did.
Uh, actually they lived with their mom and stepdad Vernon Presley in another house not too far from Graceland, like behind it.
All the Stanley's give me the creeps! Their mother wrote a book accusing Elvis and his mother of incest.
Elvis was a twin. His brother Jessie born sti born. What a difference life would have been if those grew up banging knuckles? What if Gladys doesntvduecatv46? Elvis never joins the Army? Priscilla doesn't divorce him? The Army & Hollywood never gave him amphetamines? Hollywood took him more seriously? Cool Parker wasn't a chronic gambler,? We all differ loss and know pain. Elvis carried a load. In the end he self-medicared and lived in denial about his addictions.Elvis tired of being the celebrity, depressed, medically ill, isolated and severely constipated. R.I.P.
nice video of u all
So many people were not true friends of Elvis n wrote books about Elvis. I have read several, Ginger lied about going to marry E. Charlie, n Vernon revealed these facts. I met Charlie Hodge in 2004, n Ronnie Tutt, Glen Harden, n James Burten. They were true friends along with Jerry, Joe n Larry. Sonny n Red wrote piece of trash book when Elvis made them leave so they decided to write the book n make money off of facts about Elvis. This book really hurt Elvis. This all doesn't mean David n Rick were not friends with E, but wanted just to give information of about how things were like. Elvis had Jesus n Gospel music to get thru life. Jesus was King of all King's he said n he was just an entertainer he said. I could give more facts about Elvis but would take too long to explain.
Ginger did not lie.
I wonder why they are not in Priscilla and Lisa Marie”s circle like Jerry Shilling is?
The one with the eye glaces is the evil.
ill let you know; dealing with him right now and youre not off all the way
Someone explain why they're liars?
He wrote Elvis commited suicide, they all wrote lie after lie about E, lead by the evil mother who convinced them to murder Elvis.They dont know it but they failed.

@@MikeyJMJ writing books filled with lies for the bengamins.
@Koletti Pireaus impossible French, with French keybord, sorry.
i would like to put the story right far as i am concerned they come across fine i met david last year and spoke to him .he is a great guy he had lot of time for elvis fans if you get a chance to meet him say hello from me paul from england
Only if you gave him a dollar would he be civil. come on that is all he lives his life about, money.
If I ever met him, I would spit on him.
ME TOO!!!
Paul Martin David on the tv show Unsolved Mysteries said Elvis committed suicide. And his Mother Dee on the Geraldo show claimed Elvis had sex with his mother and with a man another time. I find these two at least money Hungary. When they lived on Dolan they had a connecting gate to the back of Graceland property and I am sure they were there daily and as kids felt they did live on property
LMFAO 😂 who are you trying to fool??
The Stanley’s turn my stomach.
Elvis hated their mother, Dee with a passion. He tolerated her. Funny how they don’t talk about that.
I was told two of Elvis’s stepbrothers have passed, I know one did for sure , does anyone know if that is true??
Not sure about that but I work with David Stanley and he’s sure enough alive.
@@kaleaniejoy5442 thank you , that’s what thought, but my friend insisted 2 of them passed , I couldn’t find anything except on Ricky .
I appreciate the response
@@conniew8335 no problem
Their mom Dee was really after Elvis but she settled for Vernon
Correct. She was a gold digger.

Leaches!!!
Autumn Stevens leaches? They were kids
They didn’t ask to be involved you nut . They were just toddlers. Why do people hate them when they actually have some really cool stories to share about Elvis. I’ve never heard any of these men say one negative comment about Elvis 🖕
The Stanley brothers are good people, raised by Elvis!
My boyfriend Mitch pass away on June 8 2018 at 5:11pm in Medford Oregon of Cancer. I am going to die at the age of 41
Are you doing well
That's awesome. He could have easily have been bitter and jealous of the three boys.
I lived around these guys. Whitehaven was a blessing to hzve grown up in. Nice place with no worries. But the drugs were readily available. I went to there house and they had a book of photos that was 4 ft b 2 foot. They had pictures of about every great rock back on stage. They would get backstage passes i guess cause some of the pictures were right of the stage and directly off the front foot of the stage. My va
David always seems have chip on his shoulder TCB GodBless
Never heard of them
Elvis didnt drive the pink cadillac...
You must know, these people only tell lies. $$$
@@jacquelineloveselvis Really? I Guess You were there too living in Graceland!
This is the same guy that said elvis sold his soul
I thought that was his brother Rick. Regardless, they all said horrible stuff. They didn't deserve Elvis. Now he's pushing his film. Same old crap.
❤
They were his dad's 2nd. wife's sons .They are so old looking now .
@mike kelly - No they were not.
@Jon Snow They clearly said their mother divorced their father and married Vernon.
Well I’m sure they had to grow up
I’m sure was hard go from money and fame Elvis gave them tho TCB
I challenge David to take a polygraph.

What do you mean? What happened?
They gay ?
Odd statement ....lol
@@celinefan1988 youtube The Spa Guy. He does truthful Elvis Video's.
Elvis probably ID say was Dad a big brother to these Stanley Brothers they should have appreciated him more Elvis was a man who needed alot of Attention a love. ,,, he never received too much only from his mother a fans we still love a Miss him I believe the only way Elvis could show his love through his money gifs a songs
Their mum wanted Elvis to be their daddy
Unless it was after elvis mother died. But Vernon was old by then....
To nie sa bracia przyrodni, nie maja ani wspolnej matki ani wspolnego ojca, ale bracia przyrodni dobrze brzmi i stawia ich w lepszej pozycji, sa nieszczerzy, klamia, nie da sie ich lubic..!!!!!!!!! Dlaczego nie powiedza , ze Elvis nie lubial ich matki, ktora sie w nim zakochala, a gdy on ja odrzucil , napisala o nim oszczercza ksiazke, a oni promowali ja razem z nia, dla pieniedzy zrobia i powiedza wszystko..!!!!!!!
Fabulous fellas ❤️
Ricky was the best!
I only like Rick as well. These two is evil !
I thought they were all evil. Isn't Ricky the one who said Elvis sold his soul?
Elvis hated the gardener at Graceland. On June 4th 1967 my friend and I witnessed him marching down the driveway to the main gate at Graceland. When he approached the gate he made a hard military right and marched straight over to the gardener. He yelled at the gardener accusing him having an affair with Priscilla. The only words the gardener got out was "No, I didn't" then he immediately received a direct fist to his mouth that knocked him cold. The Elvis marched with great anger and vigor back up the driveway. He never once noticed the two of us standing outside the front gate.
Pricila was 1 month pregnant with Liza Marie having an affair. He never his wife having.a Affair with MIKE STONE he f
Didn't take any action.stone was one of the best karate fighter.💪
Their mother divorced their father and married elvis's father vernon.... but they claim elvis was their big brother.... I call bullshit. That would have made him younger than not older
by
Many years ago ( 30
Plus ) I met the 3rd brother, Rick Stanley, at church - what a testimony & he wasn't capitalizing on his deceased, brother’s name!🥲
these two should have gone to prison for taking him the drugs along with so called Dr. Nick.
Ricky is the one that was bringing the drug packets to Elvis. THAT NIGHT. They were all admitted druggies. I always wondered what he really gave to Elvis that night. Funny the 2 that were involved that night. David & Ricky turned to the lord. Right after that. What a shame THEY were the ones taking care of him. And we’re mad at. Red. Sonny. David stories are repeats & changes every time he opens his mouth. The shame of it is. They were there & I wasn’t.
Get over it
I’m at a hotel with him
OMEGAMAN has truth what killed elvis

Stop worshiping this Narcissistic addict man like a God ! Elvis had mental and health illness(depression) brought on by use of sleeping pills , opiate pharmaceutical drugs , eating junk food , sleeping all day and being awake all night , .Drinking alcohol , whores , woman , parties ,. A 24-7 sick unhealthy life style .
Drugs and his life style led him to his cardiac arrest the addiction to prescription drugs .
Elvis was in "severe debt" and was obligated to do two shows a night regardless of how terrible he felt and how exhausted he was .
When you spend more that you make you become a debt slave to all that live off you .(leaches) he had to pay and feed all those bums and leaches around him including his family ,,.his unhealthy sick life style style kill him .
Elvis was a drug addict , a sex addict , a junk food addict , a Narcissistic addict ...Elvis was a peado he was knocking around with a girl of 13years old called Priscilla and had many pygama parties with teenage girls under the age 17 . He was no jesus ~!
People believed about him supposedly reading the bible, the believing in God thing was purely a PR thing to appeal to as many fans as possible as a religious moral man ,he was the opposite . His image was something he could never live up to, ..it was a "well crafted" "image" by his manager but the person behind it was nothing like it and he knew was doing.
The pharmacist who filled the prescriptions for elvis was , Jack kirsch, filled 5,684 pills for Elvis. He lost his pharmaceutical license in 1980 .
Because of his elevated status he was virtually untouchable. He clicked his fingers and everyone ran to his command. This is what happens when you put someone on a pedestal.
Elvis was a A womanizer ..he was a Men who are emotionally unavailable, due to patterns of dysfunctional love.
Unpredictable, dishonest, high ego, charming, full of charisma, completely irresistible, extremely seductive.
They hold your attention like nobody else, all out of an unconscious desire to prove constantly that they are real men by the number of conquests they can make, they actually need permanent external validation from different women, so they dont sense love with them, as they banalized them as objects to get attention or sex.
.....Elvis copied and stole the black folks music and dance movements .The guy makes more money dead than when he was alive !!...he's a "" Cash cow"" !! her useless drug addict daughter and the family are swimming in millions ! and the rest of the parasites are also making money ! hes a cash cow even tho he's dead . Elvis copied and stole the black folks music and all the dance movements .The guy makes more money dead than when he was alive !!...he's a million dollar "" Cash cow"" for many people including his family and friends .
He became nothing more than cabaret circus show at the end of his career, a bit of a freak show really.
When you sell your soul to the Devil , drugs , whores and sick life style ......The Universel law is call KARMA ! sooner or later you pay for your past sins ..live a decent life and God will reward you that simple .
Life is a Bitch if you play it wrong and you lose at the end ! you make your destiny everyday you get up !
“Life is like a garden, you reap what you sow.” the Universal law is the same for every human on the planet .No human is above no one !....
stop worshiping this man like a God!
Watch this video ..the truth about Elvis... no B.S .No hype , the truth ! ....

hey mikael Vitaly Vyacheslav didnt know you lived in Graceland, or hung out with elvis. Were You part of his inner circle ? If Not Then dont write crap. Priscilla was 14 when Elvis ( he was in his twenties) met her in Germany. He was in the army then. He Met her with her parent's consent. She came to live with him WITH HER PARENT'S CONSENT. He never touched her till after they were married. Surely You Dont know more about their relationship than Priscilla, who was his wife!!! Did you know that Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman was in a sexual relationship with 14 year old mandy Smith. Wyman was 47 at that time. He married her when she turned 18. As for stealing black music ...he didnt steal it. All muscians did and still do covers eg: Hey Joe was originally written and sung by Billy Roberts and later Hendrix. Have you heard Judas Priest sing Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust. There are thousands of such examples. Elvis made the lovely Black music mainstream. junk food? dont you eat burgers, chips etc Alcohol? Drugs? Women? In America and Europe show me one rock star who didnt indulge in them....PLEASE stop this Rubbish. If You hate Elvis Go ahead thats YOUR EMOTION NOT OURS.
Billy Good Man on other hand David full crap
Well I don't know about Billy being a good man but I do know David is not.
