So cool you got to walk in the same exact steps Elvis did!!
You’ve done it again Billy!! I have enjoyed these Knickerbocker Hotel stories so much. Many thanks for all your work.
I think I believe most of Gene's stories. They may be exaggerated some for the book or telling friends but Gene and Elvis were not only cousins but best friends. There are things we will do with our best friend that we wouldn't do with anyone else. Thank you Spa Guy. The Knickerbocker has alot of very interesting history. Looking forward to learning more about it. ❤
Billy these Knickerbocker videos were a tremendous effort and I appreciate it. Apologies if I missed it, but I would be a grateful viewer if you could do one more vlog on the hotel...identifying Elvis's suite window from the street. I would love to be able to identify where his suite was when I'm standing outside. Bless you my friend. You are a wonderful person doing great things. Merry Christmas. And Pete if by chance you read this, thank you very much for your hospitality with Billy & Trey.
"Before the Colonel called nine one one." Billy, you made me chuckle outloud! There was no 911 in 1960. I always think about words we use today that Elvis would not know what we mean. Isuzu, fax machine, email, CDs, so so many words we could use and Elvis would have no clue what we mean. Joe Esposito used 911 in describing what he did that day in Memphis. But there was no 911 August 1977 in Memphis either. Just saying. Tighten up!!! We love your stuff!
Billy, I found your channel a year ago this week. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the entertainment and joy it's brought me. If you are ever in the Cincinnati area (great story about Elvis leaving hotel on last tour due to lack of AC waiting for ya) I'll buy you dinner!
I heard this ac story in video from the late Joe Guercio. Mr. Guercio said Elvis walked across street to another hotel without attention during middle of the day. Thank you for documenting Elvis' lodging during his first film. Prior to this Elvis stayed at the Warwick Hotel in midtown NY during his first TV Appearances from Dorsey Brothers through Ed Sullivan - printed in 1956 Wertheimer book/video. Not sure where he stayed during loving you and jailhouse rock in LA. During King Creole in Louisiana. After army he bought home in CA, so at some point no more need for lodging. This is constant education of interest to all Elvis followers. Thanks again for filling in these unlimited blanks. Did cousin Gene say Elvis wore his shoes in his book?
Sounds good Chuck.. I know the story and that is not really the reason he switched hotels although it has always been said to be the reason.. email me billy@thesgnetwork.com
Gene didn't say Elvis wore his shoes that came form an insider.. Elvis stayed at the Beverly Wilshire for some of the early stuff..
Robert Morra for King Creole he stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans but I’m not sure for how long.
This is a great sequel to the other Knickerbocker video's of yours. I can totally see Elvis pulling these pranks. He was asked to leave another hotel when he, Joe Esposito and (can't remember the other guy) were fighting in a hallway and a guitar went flying down the hall. Although his co-stars did think Elvis was great to work with, I think it was something he had to prove to himself. Everyone who saw the end of Love Me Tender were crushed at Elvis death scene which is why he had to go back and do the ending song "from heaven" to soften the blow to the audience. Great job Billy and Trey, looking forward to more Elvis History videos.
And the singing from heaven,gives us the first glimpse of Elvis,with his freshly dyed black hair.
I wouldn't stop at the knickerbocker hotel to meny strange deaths there LOL. Great information again from the spa guy
Elvis, from what we have learned, was a trickster, but I'm sure things have been over exaggerated over the years too. You know, the story gets bigger and bigger and memories get foggier and foggier. I can imagine the panic over Elvis being "shot" in the hotel would have created. lol I'm sure the Colonel wasn't a happy camper. I didn't know about Irene though, how sad. It always breaks my heart when someone feels so desperate to commit suicide. Thanks for this video Billy. Those heights sure get my belly! lol
Fascinating stuff and great research. I just would never have known anything about this if you hadn’t had delved into it so thank you Sir Spa Guy 😇. They were iconic pictures. ✌️❤️
Thanks Man for TCB⚡️by keeping Elvis alive, Much appreciated!☺️👍
I would love to go there and check it out myself. Never say never I may one day ty for sharing
Yes you can definitely see that look on Elvis's face I don't think he was thrilled to be up there and I'm sure if his momma had seen that he sure would be in for it
Thank you Billy really cool info 😀👍
Thank- you for always being so detailed and the research you do is very impressive and admiral 😊
I completely agree that the 'ledge jumping' would seem a bit unlikely for Elvis, especially with the 'notoriety' he had gained with the Milton Berle show just around 2 months before. This would certainly have Elvis threatening to jump as top news. There are plenty of contemporary news clippings that have been published in several books but none that mention this. One thing that I think can't be denied is the hotel 'politely' asking Elvis to leave the hotel after one prank too many!! 🤣
Wow.. someone tightened up..very interesting..thanks for sharing..Merry Christmas to you and yours 💝❄⛄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅
Hi Billy it's laurie wow!! Omg amazing info knowledge thank you thank you can't wait for more!! Of course more Elvis but anything movie stars I love it !!!☺😁❤
Thank you, Spa Guy, for sharing these wonderful videos of Elvis Life. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
My best friend saw Elvis in Philadelphia back in the '70s. She was upfront in the fifth row and even caught a scarf he threw out into the audience. I and another friend were blessed to see Elvis and Muhamed Ali driving by back in the day in my city. Muhamed Ali camp is located in my area. Orwigsburg Pa. #Blessed
My friend lost that scarf somewhere along her journey. Lol I said, WHAT!!! is wrong with you. Lollll
That scarf was either pink or purple. I'll have to ask her again when I talk to her tomorrow. lol
Thank you very much for sharing. You get right down to the nitty gritty of it all God bless you and yours. Keep them coming. You are the best TCB
Thank you SP for all that information.... I'll need to download this video and watch it again....so much interesting content. Love how you told the stories wow, so diverse and one story lead to the other. Loved it.
Another incredible one Billy. Bless you and your lovely Family.
Great video. Very interesting. Great photos and,video.
I'm enjoying your stories of Elvis thank again spa guy 👍from Sydney
The Only Elvis Detective !!!!! Thanks
In George Klines book about Elvis, He said they were on a train once. A Beautiful woman was in the next car compartment , and only separated by a sliding partition. Heheheheh
George said people would never believe that him & the King Of Rock N Roll were on the floor with a butter knife as a mirror , to peep UNDER her door!!! Hahaha I didnt say that , now George did. LOL
Great follow up here Billy, interesting stuff, I totally believe Elvis did these things myself, everything I have read and seen about Elvis was he was a 'real prankster' in private and loved getting a laugh from putting people on, and this sounds exactly in his character to me, especially a young newly famous Elvis who like most any young people don't think anything of "pushing the envelope" because consequences mean nothing at all when your young and full of life and caught up in the moment, and Elvis sure had a lot of those moments didn't he. :-)
So interesting n also very sad, thankyou Spa Guy xx
Very nice story’s Elvis Presley 💋🇧🇷
Fascinating info! Enjoyed this video very much! Thank you for all the great research, Spa Guy & Company!
I give a nod to the hotel every morning when I'm driving to downtown. Love that you can see it from the 101 freeway. Thanks for the video!
Yes you are right there in the midst of it all!!
Tks again for your time & efforts!
Interesting video! Elvis, the actor.. 😉
Happy Holidays Spa! 🎀 🎄 🎀
Amazing stuff! We really appreciate the detail and hard work you put into all of this. Thank you so much!
Thank you my friend.
So much.
Wow amazing my friend
Parabéns a você Spa Guy por fazer os mesmos caminhos que Elvis Presley fez em sua vida
Si ! ;) 💕
Gracias Spa Guy!! Me gustan tus videos!!😊Trás los pasos de Elvis!!❤👍👏👏👏👏👏
Just now catching up ! Been gone from TH-cam! Wow this video is awesome ! Yeah, I couldn't see Elvis doing that 😆! Great great video! Pancho Villa,man he's still huge in Mexico! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 yes I'm Mexican ;) 🖤⚡🖤
Thanks again, Billy, your videos are just always so great, interesting. I had read stories of Elvis at the Beverly Wilshire, but never knew of his Knickerbocker stay, which was training for the Wilshire it appears. The story of Irene, the designer, was also very interesting, and would have never known that, so thanks for informing us of that. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours.
I always look forward to your very well investigated videos. Thanks brother, take care and YHVH bless.
Terrific job! Merry Christmas Spa Guy, Lori and Trey!
Love the side stories you present. Excellent work...thank you.
Great video like always! ❤
Thanks Spa Guy, you are the best!!
Awesome stories. The lady i think landed on an awning type structure and wasn't found till the day after. The awning isnt there anymore, if im not mistaken something else is in the awnings place now. That place has a crazy history and alot of Residual Spirits. I would love to go there with a voice recorder. Thanks Spa Guy! Love the picture match-ups that you do.
Thank you for another Great video Billy.
I Really Appreciate the time and effort you take to put these videos together for us❤️I’ve really enjoyed these knickerbocker hotel stories but Very sad about Irene jumping to her death😢
Merry Christmas to you and your Loved ones❤️🎄🎅🏻☃️Happy Holidays!😊
Merry Christmas Jennifer!!
Elvis Presley nunca imaginou que pós sua vida uma pessoa fizesse uma retrô com a vida dele é um carinho muito grande que você tem por ele nós fã agradecendo muito a você Spa Guy
Entiendo poquito hehe
Very interesting stories Billy. Nice work👍🏻😎
ELVIS happy birthday 85 1935.1.8~2020.1.8 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
You always dig a little deeper Billy.
Good Job.......
Good detective work Spa guy, thanks for sharing, wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas 🌟🎅👍
Thank you Spa Guy, I learn something new. Wondered where that photo of Elvis was taken. Elvis was a pranster so I can see Elvis laughing himself silly after acting like he had been shot. So sad that Irene jumped. She was a fabulous clothing designer. Very interesting video. God Bless
Another great show Spa Guy! #USA
Great video. Interesting history. Elvis was a prank puller. Thank you Spa guy.

Great as usual. Thanks !
✨That strange looking building off in the near distance is the “ Chinese -Theater “ on Hollywood Blvd. ✨👌🏼 #Imprints&All
Thanks Billy! Good Vid!
Thanks very good aND INFORMATIVE VIDEO. BTB E G.
Hello from Hollywood Joe
love your stuff so much amazing history
Great job Billy! It would be cool if someone comes forward and says they saw Elvis on the roof faking jumping. His every move is so documented it is surprising that the only account of this is from his cousin Gene. Keep us informed!!
Brother, I sure do enjoy Your videos. Great work.
Love this story, thanks Spa Guy
DANG Mr SpaGuy... you are really entertaining to me. man ....it must be my age lol but i find all you info us(me) is interesting and my brain likes it lol thanks a billion(million) lol u tha man manlol
Thank you Friend 🤝 to you & your channel all year long. It means a lot to me. Merry Christmas & Happy new year. Elvis could not have a better history detective than you 🐀
Merry Christmas Spa Guy. The best to you and yours in the coming year.🎅🎅
Merry Christmas to You and Yours Too Kathy!!
Very interesting Billy and amazing you are always able to find a way to figure out all the neat details of long ago
It sounds as Gene and Elvis liked to cut up quite a bit Lol
Cant imagine the people watching this take place must have been afraid they where going to be shot too
Awesome 👍
Great story!
Thanks this was very interesting. 🤗
Awesome story
Elvis always liked to play pranks. Had a sense of humor. That probably was part of it too.
Love your videos. You put a lot of work into them.
😂😂😂 thats quite a story, it would be fun to have Elvis around
Great follow up billy
Shooting story is hilarious, must've been a riot in those days.
Interesting Spa Guy!!
keep going. your stuff is so interesting.
How sad about Irene 😫 and Elvis....these Shenanigans will get ya every time. Gotta tighten up 💜😜
Elvis did have that tricky practical joker side sometimes.
His way to have fun or just goof around to get rid of stresses...
Think it's a good quality for a guy who could of decide to be super serious & starchy but he rather wanted to have that kid dish joking side.
Only sometimes his practical jokes got him in hot water sometimes namely kicked out of this building.
The Col. must of really sucked on that cigar & his heart racing he's ring the news !!! Elvis has been shot.
Then realized he was not shot & trying to put water on the fire.
Understand Elvis was allowed to sit in the pilot seat for abit but he pushed the steering forward thus the plane descended. The Captain took over quick & gave Elvis a piece of his mind. Pilot was not amused.
Elvis buddies told Elvis to fire him as he should not talk to you that way.
Elvis said "No" ( he knew he had done wrong. ) remember reading this story somewhere or seeing a vid ???
Guess it 's true. Elvis had that kid side in his personality & think it made him enjoy life more.
Lady jumped to her death. Fashion designer..
The a Word tells us "As a person thinkth so are they"
People have to get their minds off a negative mindset or else it will drag them down ...even to hopeless feelings & possibly suicide.
We all need hope ..the a Word tell us to think on "whatever is just whatever is good whatever is so good report...type of idea.
In spiritual warfare I'm sure the demonic forces would want every person to end their lives or for every country with nukes to launch them today. God is good & the other guy is bad.
Keep the faith folks.
1John 3:8
That is the Christmas message right there in that verse.
Merry Christmas to all & Billy Trey & all your loved ones. ( & Pete can't forget him )
Hi cool
That's some detective work, my friend
That's all very interesting and I see what you mean about the pictures of Elvis !! I love to hear about these stories. Except for the lady , " Irene " that jumped to her death . That's so sad . Spa Guy , last night I watched an interview that Leonardo DiCaprio did and he told the lady that was interviewing him that he was born in a hospital ( which is now the Scientology building that's near Rodeo Drive ) . So from watching your videos about the Knickerbocker and finding out that the Scientology building was right next to the Knickerbocker .... I put two and two together and that told me that the Scientology building was once a hospital . I might be wrong about that , but it made scene to me . I just hope he doesn't believe in Scientology . I have enjoyed all of these videos you have made about the Knickerbocker . Thank you for sharing this Spa Guy . You're the best and God bless !!
Yes Bonnie I would say you are right.. It looks like a hospital..
@@SpaGuy Yep, it was originally the Cedars of Lebanon hospital.
Great story where can you get the book Elvis man friday

Thanks Spaguy
Hello from England
At 7.42 into this video look what Elvis was wearing!! He just wanted to be "DIFFERENT" all the time. When he was asked about who he sang like "i sing like nobody".
How many kids would you see back then wearing the same clothes - nobody.
Thanks Billy for the interesting information !
Happy Holidays to you and your family. BTB E G.
Só recordando o lugar por onde Elvis passou 👏👏👏👍🇧🇷
✨I believe ms.Irene jumped to her death and landed atop the “original entrance marquee” which stands to this day . ✨🌿✌🏼
The story said on top of an awning but it could have been there too.. they didn't find her until the next day..

No, I didn’t know Irene did that.😟
