Got to see Elvis in concert in 1976, wasn't a fan at the time but my girlfriend got tickets & wanted to go. Glad I did, seeing Elvis perform live made me a lifelong admirer.
I went to Tennessee last year and got to visit Graceland. I had an amazing time and the graves of Elvis and his family were so so beautiful. May they all be resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus ❤️
I was 10 years old when he died and I can still remember laying on the green shag carpet with my headphones plugged into the stereo and crying my eyes out listening to the news that Elvis had just died. I received my first guitar on my bday that year and the first tunes I learned were Elvis' music. not so much of a fan anymore with age but still, he was once the most important person on the planet. RIP EP...
I had no idea that I would be so emotionally touched when I came out of that house. Especially his twin brothers grave that died at birth. I was in tears and I was never a big Elvis fan. I was after that
If I was Elvis, I too would be extremely homesick for Graceland. Hands down, the place is paradise! He might have only lived 42 years, but half of his life was there. Even I would sacrifice years just to live there too!
The cost of the house (and land) translates to roughly $1.1M in early 2023. The cost of the racquetball building in 1975 would also translate to $1.1M in early 2023.
I really enjoyed the tour-brings a tear to my eye. All he wanted to do is entertain and be loved. The new Elvis movie is Incredible. Really shows his sensitive side. Big fan
Me too Allan. I am a life long fan. Elvis died way too young. I am older so I am seeing many of my heros leave us. This brought a tear to my eye as well. He was a magnetic person. For some reason God gave Elvis 10 times the charisma of a normal person. He spent his entire life trying to figure out why, and how to deal with it. He was a phenomenon in the 70's
@@Rich-kp1eu The poor soul lost his mother at an early age- Devastating. Colonel Parker was a money whore- Yes he made Elvis rich and famous but he exploited him. Elvis suffered physically and financially. Elvis’s dad should’ve made sure he was set for life and wasn’t overworked. Careful who you trust!
@@josegalvan775 I'll never understand why Elvis never went to a different manager. He probably would be alive still and have had an even bigger career.
A lot of people do not know that to get to Graceland you have to ride through the hood. It's funny to see tourists walk down Elvis Presley Blvd like what the hell. Lol
Charles Cummings that’s what I like about it. Elvis didn’t mind that the hood was not far away. He wasn’t ignorant to the plight of poor Black people he grew up poor too and grew up eating the same type of food Black folk ate. It’s just a shame he died the way he did
I’ve never seen his house and my place looks so much like this, a small Graceland. I also feel I’m so much like him. He was so radical, courageous and fun.
Loved Elvis, saw him in concert in Jacksonville,Florida ,not long before he passed away. Went to Graceland twice and would love to go back. I had his favorite sandwich at the little eating place across the way and it was really good.May he have peace and his family too.
I had so much fun going on this tour on TH-cam. Priceless plus it's not like I'd ever be in Graceland anytime soon. Thank you Elvis being kind, loving and such a giving man. This is why your Legend lives on and your records keep selling. Though I was a child ..... I love your music just like millions of others!💓😇💓🙏💓
I was there in the 80s with a former friend of the family. She took a video of me talking with Elvis' uncle Vester. Almost like an interview. I still have the video. He LOVED to talk and had quite the Memphis accent. Sweet man. He passed away 2-3 years after Elvis. It was pretty amazing to be standing there actually talking to a relative of Elvis'. Afterwards, on to Nashville.
Can you imagine all the good times Elvis had in that home with his Family and Friends. I wish i could of spent just one day with Elvis. It's so sad he Died when he did and how he did. God bless " The king "
Years ago my daughter took me to Graceland as a birthday gift we were visting my son at Tennessee was comming back home it was a wonder gift we did tour of house was going out side a little house passed all the cars thry were in side of gates then i was teasing my daughter i yelled hello elvis some one that sounded like him said back hello there we both herd that them we wrnt on the plane i ask her do you smell thst ot was brut or old spice i told my daughter he is here i just felt his presence it was s great feeling
I took a very special lady on a date to Graceland in 1998. She must have had a pretty good time because two months later I popped the question and she said yes!
So many negative comments, I think it was one of the best Graceland tours that I've ever seen, very good tour guide, I for one enjoyed this very much. 👏 👑 💃
I sure thought so, my daughter Jahzara loves Elvis, she's 3 next Friday and wants a pink Elvis cake and balloon for her birthday, no clothes no toys just a balloon and some cake.
+Megan McNasby My father was from Liverpool and though he certainly liked the Beatles, Elvis was the performer who made the biggest impact on him. On August 16, 1977 my dad had gone out to a mall and bought the Moody Blue album and when he got in the car to drive home he turned on the radio and they were announcing that Elvis had died. I was only ten years old and was spending the month of August with my mom at my grandparent's cottage and my dad called us that night and was really taking the news very hard. That evening, I watched the network affiliate from Watertown NY carrying live coverage of the white limousine procession from Graceland. Then, as a kind of tribute I got an old acoustic guitar that had belonged to my grandmother's brother who had died in world war 2 and I put on an Elvis' greatest hits album we had at the cottage and I would strum along to parts of some of the songs. When I got home from the cottage and back to our house, my dad had bought a couple of Elvis posters and put them up on the wall. It was, and still is so sad that he left his family and all of us so soon. God bless you Elvis.
It's a beautiful reminder that you came into this world with nothing and you leave with nothing, you work hard for things and then you die and someone else gets it all
Fuck this short life. In the end of our lives We go to the graveyard with nothing. All the materials things that we have Accumulated for a years is useless after we die. There is no first class grave. I'm a big fan of elvis Presley and I have visited Graceland twice. life is bitch. I hope I don't sounds too negative. I'm working on myself to be happy and grateful in every moment of my life.
I have been to Graceland 3 times and took family and friends. It is not exactly like in was back then in 1977 and 1978. For one thing the piano in the living room area was plated in gold and was given to Elvis by Priscilla. I didn't see it on this tour. I was surprised the tour did not show the other rooms that is seen on the tour we went on. I did enjoy the tour here though and am a life long Elvis fan. I met him in 1956 and spent 3 hours with him when I was only 14. He was appearing along with others at the FT HOMER HESTERLY ARMORY in Tampa, FL. Elvis was just getting started with his career and was appearing with a lot of other singers that day and had to wait outside in a fenced area until it was his time to perform. He had that special magic some people have and it was great meeting him. He was very shy and definitely a southern gentlemen. Loved his voice and him. You just felt like he was part of the family. Like so many other people I was devastated when he passed.
I remember your through this with my brother when we were kids. My brother Loved listening to Elvis all the time. His MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON. GOD BLESS HIM.
Elvis and Jackson are on another level....I am so sorry about how they passed....😭😭😭 the world would be so much better of most of the people would be as kind as they where
This brought back many memories for me and my family when visited Graceland this beautiful place and has history of Elvis sometime again we loved to go back again always loved from his fans from Ireland
We toured Graceland about 2 years ago and enjoyed it very much. We opted to go with iPad and Earphone tour and it was nice....a lot of information for each room. However, you kinda get tired of listening and wearing the earphones though and after a while, we just stopped and looked. You can go at your own pace too. I know they have reasons for not letting the public visit the upstairs and some of the other rooms, but those were the one's I wanted to see the most. A lot of places have that though....like castles in Europe and the Biltmore House in Asheville. Not sure anyone is interested in Memphis other than seeing Graceland, but we also got the tour for Beal Street and the downtown area, Sun Records and more. The tickets included Graceland and was a good price, even included our lunch. While there we also went to the Bass Pro Shop! I have to tell you, I have never seen one store that big and so very beautiful and interesting. I would go back to Memphis just to visit it again. If you are there, take a look, you won't be disappointed. We had a great trip to Memphis and I would love to do it all over again. Hope anyone that goes has a great time.
Elvis bought his mansion when I was born! Way cool! My Niece is named "Grace". My Sister-in-law & Brother toured Graceland when she was pregnant. Good fun! We are grateful for the swingin' memories of such a talented guy! * Cav; 19 August, 2019. *
Glad I took the tour. Many will be surprised though that it's really just a normal house. No big deal. The homes of entertainers today are so over the top it's hard to think this was a big deal. Btw it's in the bad bad area of My Memphis now so be careful driving around.
I'd love to go to Graceland I've been a fan of Elvis Presley since King Creole days he was a great singer a entertainer a actor love a Miss Elvis like family love to visit Graceland but can't afford it I'm a Leukemia patient since 2009. senior a widow. love Elvis.
Elvis Presley mon idole avait des avions des belles voitures une belle maison il ne cachait pas qu' il gagnait beaucoups d argents. Mais il est resté humble gentil et ces toujours souvenu d ou il venait . Et puis il a tellement donné pour nous ces fans et tellement travaillé pour nous comblé il est était dans les dernières années de ça vie épuisé pour avoir encore et encore être sûr scène. Elvis Presley est éternel et intemporel pour des siecles.
I've been to Graceland in the early year's before it became this huge attraction and it wasn't commercialized then You walked up the driveway and I had the luck to meet Elvis's uncle Vestor (Vernon's brother married to Elvis's mom Gladys's sister Clettes) I spent about 10 minutes talking to him about Graceland, he was a very nice man who was both friendly and after all the year's remained humble. I'm happy I went in those days and really wouldn't want to go there now, although, I love Graceland and Elvis with all my heart Elvis is a Musical Icon and will be remembered for his music, generosity, as well as being "THE KING OF ROCK & ROLL"
😂🤣😂🤣same.Middle of the day went to fill up my car up opposite next to where his plane was parked up and you had to pay first.Also hatch service only ,door was locked.
There was so much of the house -- downstairs -- that was not shown in this video. Elvis kept adding to the house & property ... and the house took on somewhat of an odd layout, but with very cool rooms.
I love vintage, old houses like these, and places like these should stay as they were in their heyday, I hate houses like these getting renovated and destroyed, and just made into modern crap houses.
Old lol not even remotely old. Here there are houses 800 years to 1,000 years old. Most of the original parts are gone of course. My house is 90 years old.
I'm from the uk I went to graceland in 2000 with my friend and we had a fantastic time, there's so much more to see than what they've shown you here but it was amazing...we even signed the wall outside and visited the lisa marie ...we stopped in a hotel opposite called the heartbreak hotel...not sure if its still there...
@@caprice8770 You need to stop right there that is such a rude thing to say specially about a dead person just let the king rest in peace what if your grandma died and people said that she’s not dead that would break your heart to stop and learn some respect at least tell your mom to make you learn it
ELVIS PRESLEY was the most loved a missed person that died since 1977,,,,,He use to say when I'm gone Joe. This world will never be the same neither will music.
I wish they had shown the kitchen. Elvis and I own the same dishwasher, a 1974 Kitchen aid Superba by Hobart. I have visited Graceland many times and it is well worth the trip. It is much bigger now with the expansion across the street.
One has to wonder how much of this Elvis would have changed if he had lived longer. Now we have a fantastic slice of 70s style and decor preserved forever, hopefully. My favourite room in this place is his kitchen actually, though the jungle room/den is pretty awesome too. I also, absolutely, love the stain glass in the entrance going into his music room. Not crazy about the white furnishings, but that's because of how much it's overdone today. My Best. Out.
Did you notice the kitchen had yellow formica counters? Now-a-days formica is kind of frowned on, in favor of granite or quartz, but I guess in 1975 it was the "thing" to have.
@@josephgaviota : That kitchen is one of the warmest, most inviting, kitchens I've ever seen. I could spend months there, I think, and never get bored. My Retro/Vintage Best. Out.
I like to hear from those who were actually in the house who have first hand knowledge of the time back then would be interesting to hear There stories
Thank goodness for these videos....they save me alot of money in travelling expenses and admission fees. While I liked Elvis's early RCA hits (still do) I don't idolize the guy. He was just a man who put his pants on the same way I do. But when it came to singing no one could touch him. He entertained millions with his TV shows and concerts. I saw him in Miami once......great concert.....can't remember if he was doing his goofy karate moves then. He had a unique life that's for sure but I could not stand having all those guys hanging around 24 hours a day and people constantly asking for autographs and snapping pictures. That would drive me crazy. Same for the Beatles only it was 4 times worse !! Wouldn't it have been a hoot if Elvis and The Beatles had recorded together......singing each other's hits? That would have been something.
Why are people knocking the poor tour guide so much? I thought she did a good job; some of the questions he asked weren't really typical questions that a tour guide would need to know. Please remember that some of us develop an interest and knowledge that goes beyond what they typical Graceland visitor possesses. Therefore, the tour guide's knowledge would usually be sufficient for the responsibilities she has. It's like JFK fans...the minutiae some of them have is incredible, and a little worrisome. :)
Literally one of the only musicians who was sincerely grateful for his fans, artists now treat their fans like they truly hate em & would love to beat the hell out of them.
Got to see Elvis in concert in 1976, wasn't a fan at the time but my girlfriend got tickets & wanted to go. Glad I did, seeing Elvis perform live made me a lifelong admirer.
I almost went 1976 Omaha but chose not to. I think it was his last live concert. I thought he would be around forever. I should have went
@@TheMjphoto45 I think the last show was omaha or rapid city sd.?
I got to see Elvis in concert twice 75 & 77 great memories
He stole his whole style.FROM WHAT RACE.
@@joelteague8032 how old r u now
My husband is a big fan, we went there from France , it was a big moment for him 😘
You husband has good taste
Should have seen Elvis in concert awesome seen him 75 &77
Did u get scared being in East Memphis Tennessee 〽️👀😱
Damn, all the way from France, I hope you got to see a little bit of the country
I went there from Switzerland with my dad
I made my dad buy me an Elvis Presley album when I was about 8 or 9. No, we didn't have a record player. I loved looking at his picture!.
I went to Tennessee last year and got to visit Graceland. I had an amazing time and the graves of Elvis and his family were so so beautiful. May they all be resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus ❤️

not so much of a fan anymore with age but still, he was once the most important person on the planet.
RIP EP...
🥺🥺
It’s sad that he died from a heart attack, while trying to poop out the 30 pounds of shit in his colon 😢
Music doesn't age specially classic, I'll never understand how folks just stop becoming fans...music is life
MJ gives Presley a run for his money but boy it is close.
I had no idea that I would be so emotionally touched when I came out of that house. Especially his twin brothers grave that died at birth. I was in tears and I was never a big Elvis fan. I was after that
I heard that lot of people cry
If I was Elvis, I too would be extremely homesick for Graceland. Hands down, the place is paradise! He might have only lived 42 years, but half of his life was there. Even I would sacrifice years just to live there too!
Exactly!!
Except jungle room. It’s not very beautiful.
$102,500 in 1957 dollars equals $916,419.31 in 2019. Elvis accomplished very much in a very short time. How awesome!
And the rest.
I think ima buy it lol
I thought she meant $100 😂
The cost of the house (and land) translates to roughly $1.1M in early 2023. The cost of the racquetball building in 1975 would also translate to $1.1M in early 2023.
Imagine your house being a museum someday...I bet you would use a coaster.
I really enjoyed the tour-brings a tear to my eye. All he wanted to do is entertain and be loved. The new Elvis movie is Incredible. Really shows his sensitive side. Big fan
Me too Allan. I am a life long fan. Elvis died way too young. I am older so I am seeing many of my heros leave us. This brought a tear to my eye as well.
He was a magnetic person. For some reason God gave Elvis 10 times the charisma of a normal person. He spent his entire life trying to figure out why, and how to deal with it.
He was a phenomenon in the 70's

It's such a shame Elvis never did a world tour. It would have been wonderful.

It will always be in my heart ❤️ 💙.

What a beautiful magnificent tour see Elvis Presley's home and to know how much he loved his horses
My god I'm in love with that house. Its beautiful

True. But I doubt when the first owners of the house built it, there wasn't a hood. It slowly developed into that over time.
nakea simone you idiot. It was mostly farm land when he bought it.
Thats so funny 😂🤣 never knew that
That's not true the Graceland area of Whitehaven is a nice NEIGHBOR-hood, still to this day.
I’ve never seen his house and my place looks so much like this, a small Graceland.
I also feel I’m so much like him.
He was so radical, courageous and fun.
Living room is beautiful. That blue is so striking with the gold and white
I agree.
Elvis was so grateful & gracious for all his gifts & awards he was given. There was a place for it all.💕💕💕
Loved Elvis, saw him in concert in Jacksonville,Florida ,not long before he passed away. Went to Graceland twice and would love to go back. I had his favorite sandwich at the little eating place across the way and it

Why are you addressing Elvis in first-person? He's been dead for 45 years!!
I remember we went there in 2018 for my grandpa’s birthday. He is a very big fan of Elvis.
Someday soon I'll get there,,,can't wait.

Why can't we go upstairs and pay our respects at the "throne" where the King died?
It's a beautiful reminder that you came into this world with nothing and you leave with nothing, you work hard for things and then you die and someone else gets it all

I remember your through this with my brother when we were kids. My brother Loved listening to Elvis all the time. His MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON. GOD BLESS HIM.
Liked his gospel songs the best, but who can dislike "Bossa Nova" or "Its Now or Never"?
I was there 1995, was very spiritual meeting with Elvis house...
Y can feel his energy in there...such a charming palace💫💫
Never had the chance to see Graceland except for the car museum. I did see his birthplace in Tupelo Miss. It's a far cry from his home Graceland.
Wow I was happy to see that guy doing flips up and down Beale St. I've seen him in person he's very talented. Great vid
Elvis and Jackson are on another level....I am so sorry about how they passed....😭😭😭 the world would be so much better of most of the people would be as kind as they where
RIP Elvis, Benjamin, and Lisa Marie.
You forgot Vernon amd Gladys.

I went there last week and took a gold sink handle home as a souvenir. Elvis didn't need it anymore.😊
I loved his jungle Room. it was so strange unique a mysterious a spirtural alot like Elvis Presley himself. ELVIS was really Something Else
So basically Elvis invented the man cave.
Sure is.
@@bruce2357 mxgh
To each his own. I thought it was tacky.
Elvis had "unique" taste in home decor for sure......kinda surprised he didn't have the whole interior painted pink with black trim.
Looks amazing would love to visit Graceland one day
Ruby Welch What are you waiting for?
Great Tour. I haven't been there in 35 years. Back then the neighborhood right down the street was terrifying
City of Memphis might want to build a wall around Graceland in case the natives get restless and decide to loot the place one day.
😂🤣😂🤣same.Middle of the day went to fill up my car up opposite next to where his plane was parked up and you had to pay first.Also hatch service only ,door was locked.
Wow!! I need to visit oneday! That was beautiful and love the tour host!
There was so much of the house -- downstairs -- that was not shown in this video. Elvis kept adding to the house & property ... and the house took on somewhat of an odd layout, but with very cool rooms.
Love love Memphis!!! Visited last year did Graceland and everything amazing!!!!
I have been to Graceland, beautiful place. Long live the King.
I was 17 in 1988 and was my first visit to Memphis from the UK with the Elvisly Yours fan club.
Elvis is my lifelong hero (I'm 63) and I've been to Memphis several times, but for some reason I never got around to visiting Graceland.
Awesome Video Tour of Graceland. I hope to go some day. ***Thank You*** I LOVE HORSES too. 1957-1975?
Love you Elvis God Bless You😊
Elvis was a unique person and kind hearted, the house was cosy but seeing makes you feel sad he once live there a real person now gone.
I love vintage, old houses like these, and places like these should stay as they were in their heyday, I hate houses like these getting renovated and destroyed, and just made into modern crap houses.
Old lol not even remotely old. Here there are houses 800 years to 1,000 years old. Most of the original parts are gone of course. My house is 90 years old.
@@Mulberry2000 yeh, my grandad and dad's previous hosue was made in 1922 and still is here even though not ours any more here in uk.
I really loved how you put the volume on the intro music to cause my speakers to almost blow out, thanks.
I skipped that part.
Maybe you should turn your speakers down then to start off with
Amazing place, the music the people the food,, all top notch.. would recommend it 100%
the food in Memphis was INCREDIBLE. the hotel even had "angel wing" pancakes that were the best I've ever eaten. every restaurant meal was phenomenal.
Was there in "85", "97" and I wish I could go back one more time.
Wow if I had the money I would love to visit one day 😃🙏
Loved the tour I was an. Elvis Presley fan too.
I love the peacock glass windows
Originally there were glass block windows in place and they were removed around 1975 and the peacock glass installed.
I would have loved to know how much they cost.
Not so sure. Rather tacky.
@@1940limited I'm excited to see when we walk through your mansion, how it's decorated.
Now days its more like a museum than a house.
I'm from the uk I went to graceland in 2000 with my friend and we had a fantastic time, there's so much more to see than what they've shown you here but it was amazing...we even signed the wall outside and visited the lisa marie ...we stopped in a hotel opposite called the heartbreak hotel...not sure if its still there...
Beautiful house, Time Capsule.
I can't help it momma!!!!...its the den...thank ya..thank ya very much 😀👍🇺🇸
Elvis is such an American icon. Very sad he died so young.
A trip of a lifetime, I'll never forget it...
Been there once when we we’re going thru Memphis. Stuck in the 70’s for sure. I remember the jungle room. Sad place really.
I still miss the king. If he was still alive and still living on Graceland i would like to barbecue with him
He is not dead.
@@caprice8770 You need to stop right there that is such a rude thing to say specially about a dead person just let the king rest in peace what if your grandma died and people said that she’s not dead that would break your heart to stop and learn some respect at least tell your mom to make you learn it
@@caprice8770 he’s in heaven with Jesus ❤️
Elvis was a great singer and great man for America. Just think about his influence today if he was still alive.
ELVIS PRESLEY was the most loved a missed person that died since 1977,,,,,He use to say when I'm gone Joe. This world will never be the same neither will music.
I wish they had shown the kitchen. Elvis and I own the same dishwasher, a 1974 Kitchen aid Superba by Hobart. I have visited Graceland many times and it is well worth the trip. It is much bigger now with the expansion across the street.
Sick! I'd love to go see Graceland one day
Same!!!!
Wow thank you. So well done n informative. One of the best I've seen on Graceland.
One has to wonder how much of this Elvis would have changed if he had lived longer. Now we have a fantastic slice of 70s style and decor preserved forever, hopefully. My favourite room in this place is his kitchen actually, though the jungle room/den is pretty awesome too. I also, absolutely, love the stain glass in the entrance going into his music room. Not crazy about the white furnishings, but that's because of how much it's overdone today.
My Best. Out.
Did you notice the kitchen had yellow formica counters? Now-a-days formica is kind of frowned on, in favor of granite or quartz, but I guess in 1975 it was the "thing" to have.
@@josephgaviota : That kitchen is one of the warmest, most inviting, kitchens I've ever seen. I could spend months there, I think, and never get bored.
My Retro/Vintage Best. Out.
I like to hear from those who were actually in the house who have first hand knowledge of the time back then would be interesting to hear There stories
Most are dead. So read their books.
Wish we could see the red version of Graceland, how it really looked in 77 when he passed.
I would love to see it in person.
@Lance Rattie But to be fair you literally aren't making sense..
@Lance Rattie It's not nice to speak ill of the dead.
One day it'll happen to you.
Lance Rattie youre cringe asfuckk
@Lance Rattie It must be terrible being a liberal, and all that negativity to carry around.
Thanks, save me the trip to graceland👍❤👍
You did a very good job. Thank you.
Love ❤ Graceland,my favourite room was the Den ❤️
Thank goodness for these videos....they save me alot of money in travelling expenses and admission fees. While I liked Elvis's early RCA hits (still do) I don't idolize the guy. He was just a man who put his pants on the same way I do. But when it came to singing no one could touch him. He entertained millions with his TV shows and concerts. I saw him in Miami once......great concert.....can't remember if he was doing his goofy karate moves then. He had a unique life that's for sure but I could not stand having all those guys hanging around 24 hours a day and people constantly asking for autographs and snapping pictures. That would drive me crazy. Same for the Beatles only it was 4 times worse !! Wouldn't it have been a hoot if Elvis and The Beatles had recorded together......singing each other's hits? That would have been something.
Why are people knocking the poor tour guide so much? I thought she did a good job; some of the questions he asked weren't really typical questions that a tour guide would need to know. Please remember that some of us develop an interest and knowledge that goes beyond what they typical Graceland visitor possesses. Therefore, the tour guide's knowledge would usually be sufficient for the responsibilities she has. It's like JFK fans...the minutiae some of them have is incredible, and a little worrisome. :)
Gary Taylor Met her on the tour, she’s very personable and knowledgeable and a Grizzly fan.
I think she did a great job, bravo!
@@bobobanana5752 kiss ass! You just want to see those big jugs she's rockin
BIWF BIWF p
Haha how many had to look at that word up you'll never admit William, I did bwahahahaha
Literally one of the only musicians who was sincerely grateful for his fans, artists now treat their fans like they truly hate em & would love to beat the hell out of them.
Through the years all elvis did was have a life. Of giving. Cars motorcycles. Wheel chairs. If you needed one. Never be another Elvis ever.
Cant wait....we're going to the Bendigo display tomorrow
I can’t believe that my mom was there. (She went to his house)
elvis was enter in rock and pop and sundcask hall of fame on jaly 27 1977 he was best singer
Great informative video. Funny ending with the presenter stood hands in pockets 🙂
Very enjoyable. Thanks
Very nice thank you for sharing
Elvis is still alive. I saw him on a mountain in Canada cutting wood.
This is a place I would like to visit someday
Nice to see his mother's pink Cadillac still survives.
loved our visit to graceland
Good job with the tour!
