Elvis' Friend Security Valet and Racquetball Teacher Dean Nichopoulos 

It's always a pleasure to hear Dean talk about the ol days with Elvis. I've always had respect for him & his family.

Thank you Mr. Dean for your stories about Elvis and Graceland. Really enjoyed your stories. Thank you Mr. Spa Guy for this vlog with Mr. Dean. Some people are crazy ! Mr Dean thank you for taking care of "The Boss" Elvis. He was one of a kind...a God given gift. God's speed.

It's very sad that the Exec's at Graceland will not share the stories that deserve to be heard. Thank God for Billy, Trey, and the effort they put into interviewing the people and friends of Elvis that were there.

What a nice guy Dean is. Very down to earth, honest and in no way pretentious. I had a chance to meet him and his Dad a year or so before Dr Nic died. I was eating in Marlowes, whilst on holiday from the UK. He and his Dad came in just after us and sat at a table about five yards away. I tried to be discreet by not staring at them both and really wanted to meet them both. I thought it rude to interrupt their meal and hoped that I might get lucky if they happened to leave at the same time as me. Halfway through their meal, they were swamped by people wanting autographs and photos. I never did get to meet them. Great video again by Spa Guy....thank you.

I love how genuine Dean is. Thank you for sharing your memories. I’m glad Elvis had you in his life.

I love stuff like this! Real stories from the people that were around Elvis. Enjoyed this so much. Dean, you were Taking care of Business with that goofy reporter :)

Great video! That clip of a young Dean was taken from a UK TV programme, Elvis He Touched Their Lives, hosted by David Frost. I went to Graceland with the British fan club in August 1982. I got some film footage of Elvis' grave with my 8mm cine camera. Nobody tried to stop me and I still have the film today.

Cool video with Dean. We all know Elvis is the real Boss and always will be. 👍

What a great video Spa Guy and Trey ❤ how unrespectfull of that guy not wanting to leave at the graveside unbelievable. Really interesting to know that his dad never got mad, but always remained calm, perhaps that's why Elvis like him so much. I saw in the video of Billy and Joe Elvis fans do matter that his mother made Elvis hamburger steaks that is just so nice, I believe if you were in Elvis' inner circle everyone treated eachother as family and even taken over eachother food habits. So great Dean went to see Bruce and had a Dutch beer Heineken 😃 the boss also has great taste in beers❤

Thanks so much Dean for this great video sharing Elvis as his friend. Real stories that mean so much to us Elvis fans.

Thank you so much Dean, and spa guy for bringing us stories about Elvis and your Dad, we, the fans were fed b.s. from the powers that be at Graceland, you tell us stories about your Mom & Dad, again Thank you.

Yes thank you so much for helping take care of the king,We love you ALWAYS ELVIS,TCB⚡️

The reality is that Graceland execs want to attract non-fans more than real fans, and a large percentage of people that go to Graceland are just curious tourists visiting a landmark, not true-blue die-hard fans. Anytime you have to appeal to the masses instead of the purist, something gets lost. How Billy Smith is not part of the process - a real direct relative of Elvis who he confided and trusted - is mind-boggling. Its such a shame.

You are so full of grace and patience. His sniffing would have driven me crazy, It did drive me crazy!!! The fact you stayed and listened kept ME holding on till the end.

Thanks Dean ,Thanks Billy for another Visit with Dean. I enjoy his Stories and learning about Elvis!

Sir Billy, thank you for your continued effort's in documenting the details related to Elvis persons, places and items.Great interview as usual with Dean, seems like a great guy.!!

Dean gives a great interview. Thank-You Billy!

I love these interviews. Whoever owns EPE now is missing out, like others have stated. So much false, negative information floating around and EPE is fine with it.

I visited Graceland in 79 as a kid ...I remember reading a sign from Vernon asking for donations to keep the estate going ...great memory

We who are true and diehard fans of Elvis can ALL get to that point sometimes because Elvis deserves nothing but honor and respect and he is not just a commercial piece of property. The more we can learn about the intricacies of his life and times, the more enriched we are and the better we are for it because Elvis has always been a prime example of what an exemplary human being is all about. This is not about perfection, that I speak, but about a man who has given so much and deserves nothing but the best we can give to him, in how we represent him, and in how we continue to show him respect. Dean is a respectible man, and it is lovely to hear his protective side coming to the surface. Thank you, Billy. Thank you, Dean. Great video. Awesome!

I just love the walks down memory lane you take us on. Brings me right back to my childhood. I'm 56 and mother LOVED Elvis, so did my Dad...they use to go see him in Vegas...and bring us home brochures, used casino cards with holes punched in the middke, Elvis goodies, those were simpler times. Elvis music was always playing on 8 tracks! I want to go to Graceland so much...I watch all your Elvis videos..you dig deep, keep it real and it just takes my back. Thank you Spa Guy...for keeping all the memories alive.💛💛

Such a nice guy, who loved Elvis! I can’t wait to meet him!!!

Thank you Dean to share Stories of Elvis too and The Family

Thanks Billy really enjoyed this video with Dean. Nice genuine man .

I enjoyed this very much! Thank you!!

I worked at Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria/Germany and I can relate to this stories.. many crazy people....ringing the doorbell late at night telling us they are the new owner of the castle or wanted to see the King who died in 1886.. I once had a group of people from Memphis and we talked about The King Elvis. In the end I as a tour guide was confused about all the Kings: Elvis and Ludwig II of Bavaria 🤣🤣

Thank you Spa Guy 💕love all your stories of Elvis🌸Aloha from Hawaii TCB

Thank you Billy. I enjoyed this video.

This was so interesting. Love hearing about Elvis. Thanks for sharing.

What a great interview with Dean He seam a really cool guy it’s great to hear these cool stoies

Thanks Dean I love the first hand insight into the real stories about Elvis, and a big thanks to Billy we wouldn't get to share this if it wasn't for you , keep doing what you do Billy...EP FOREVER 💞

Great stuff, thanks

Dean,Billy Stanley & Stan Perkins are my favorite interviews but all your guests are so interesting. You have just the right mix of on location background research episodes along with interviews, what I'm trying to say is top shelf stuff and thank you! T.C.B.

Billy your videos are fascinating and captivating !

Awesome video thank you Spa Guy and Dean.

Dean is awesome. Great video man.

Thanks Billy and Trey for the work that you do in the Elvis world. It's a shame how Graceland has become so commercialize. It would be a much better experience to have people who were actually apart of Elvis telling real stories. I seen the other day the Priscilla is going to give personal tours during Elvis week this year but she's charging $1000 or something like that. To me, it has become a big money machine and nothing more.

Very interesting I enjoyed this video

Dean such likable man luv hear his stories Thanks Billy

Great stuff as usual, Billy!

thanks to you again for sharing this video with us here in the uk hope to catch up with you in august take care friends

Dean is very genuine it seems and down to earth nice guy

Thank You Spa Guy! As always interesting video!!! And hopefully with God’s will my husband and I will come August 11 to your museum. Please keep us posted for the tickets for this awesome event.

Old Dean is a down to earth dude it seems.

Love to hear all these storys abouts the people around elvis I wish it could go back to when elvis was alive and get some people that knew elvis and tell some history of the house thanks for this interview love it thanks Billy trey and dean

“That guy” was the famous interviewer Sir David Frost. His most famous interview was with Richard Nixon

Deans the man thank you

I want to say that was a wonderful interview it was like two friends talking to each other he's a very nice man I think his father was a very nice man too I think he loved Elvis and here try to do good by him. I would love and enjoy to be able to come in August believe that's going to be impossible for me have fun and I hope that it's filmed to hear all the stories and all the laughter that would really warm my heart. Thank you again for everything you're a great guy and you are making history for us and for our beloved Elvis God bless you always

Hi from England At 1.01 into the video its Sir David Frost. If this clip is around 1980 then if i remember correctly he interviewed other people connected to ELVIS but its so long ago now i cannot remember who. I will have to google or see if i can find any videos from back then and see what i can find out Those few years after ELVIS died and the public visiting back then was SO DIFFERENT as its such a long time ago 40 + years Dean looks so much like his father from videos i have watched And when ELVIS died all the guys that were remaining just had their life experiences cut off. It must have been so hard to carry on with their own lives and perhaps some "normality" David Frost was interviewing Marty and Billy i have just found a video showing it 👍👍👍

WOW… what a great video. Boy do I wish I can make it for the meatballs.

"The Guy" (as a few here have pointed out) is David Frost. He was a British TV host who had a couple of high profile shows here in the US including a late night talkshow (The David Frost Show) that ran for 4 years (69-72) opposite Johnny Carson and a Sunday night variety show like Ed Sullivan in which the Beatles appeared in 68 and sang "Hey Jude" live ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A_MjCqQoLLA.html ). He also had prime time specials where he interviewed celebrities, politicians and presidents, his most famous being "Frost/Nixon". He also famously interviewed Muhammad Ali at his training camp and Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, plus many other famous and important people. He must have been working on a special about Elvis for either US television or the BBC during this altercation.

Love it!

Very good video really interesting and it's great to hear from someone who worked for Elvis really enjoyed the video

Thanks for your memories Dean , I'd love to hear more from Dean , about his Dad aswell , im picking up alot from your channel, Thanks Spa Guy from uk 🇬🇧 x

Such a sweet man

Billy , I really believe the guy that was asked to leave was British interviewer, David Frost

Love the king Elvis Presley

Great job

Very interesting

Obrigada Billy.

Your videos are great!! I really enjoy all the information you provide us with. True stories from the people who lived it. 💜 Elvis.

Cool 😀

I watching Monarch. So I can see a lot of your Nashville

It was sir David frost who documentary Elvis he touched there lives I was part of the fan club UK 1980 who travelled to Memphis

Excellent video Spa Guy! Love these interviews.

Great Interview with someone that was there and lived it. I know I speak for the Elvis community when I say "Thanks For What You Do". Without you so much of this would have been lost to history. You show us the people, places and transport us back in time to the actual events and places. This was a great interview-I liked the story about Springsteen. Hopefully in the future you will be able to do a segment about Bruce jumping the fence after his concert in Memphis. Thanks for all you do!

I was waiting for you to mention you jumping the fence at Graceland! Lol

Met this guy in Bartlett. Real cool guy.

Respect to Dean and his father GREAT GREEKS GOOD JOB BILLY HELLO FROM GRRECE

Dean is the man love his storys

I remember the British press started all the sleazy rumors about Elvis. They made it up as time went on.

Another great talk, love what you’re doing 😊

What a Wonderful and Intimate Interview Billy! I really enjoyed this so much, Thank You!!! TCB!

The reporter was David Frost, british TV host-

Hi, cool

Interesting interview, however a microphone on Dean would've been helpful....or CC.

The guy dean told to leave from the graveside was Sir david frost… he became a big tv celebrity in the 80,s and 90,s here in the uk…

Spa Guy, thank you so much for doing this interview. Dean is a really nice guy. You can tell that Dean is a down to earth, stand up guy. I can see why Elvis liked him so much. Your great while doing interviews. I like how you just let people talk, then stop and ask a question every now and then. You rock my friend.

I wish you would do a story/ interview on Vernons passing. I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for sharing such awesome stories. I esp loved your video when you went to Vernons house. I would pay to tour it also!

Great video interview 🇬🇧👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 great insight

Great video Billy it's amazing stories that really tell us about elvis history..Thank God for you and trey hope yall make that movie one day!!!

Great interview , thanks to you and Dean for sharing the stories .

Yes sir

Ahaha cool video

👌👌👌

Frost was referring to filming that would take place for "This Is Elvis."

Absolutely riveting can’t wait for the rest of this interview

Fantastic share!❤️

👑

The Man who got kicked out the grave area was David Frost.

Hi, I watched this video and thought I recognised the man’s voice so I did a bit of research and I was correct. The man was actually a well known talk show host in England and his name is David frost. If you go on RU-vid and look for David Frost 1980 you can see the whole show. It’s about all the Elvis fans who visited Memphis during what is now Elvis week. It’s very interesting to watch, just remember when it was made. I’m from the UK and enjoy your video’s.

Poor Elvis 🥲

Jumping the fence, OMG! Bruce Springsteen (the Boss) shared his story of jumping the fence when he was just starting out in the business. Another awesome video Spa Guy, thanks! realdeal

The guy Dean is talking to is sir David frost a British broadcaster

We need more of this!!!

Dean handled that so well ! I'm just ashamed that it was a UK journalist being so disrespectful ! David Frost possessed a huge ego. Respect Dean
