My friend is actually good friends with Nancy. She has stayed with her at her house a few times. Nancy still has some things from Graceland that she was allowed to take when leaving. One day while eating breakfast Nancy tells my friend, "You know that was his favorite bowl", referring to the bowl my friend was eating out of. She about fainted knowing she was eating out of Elvis' bowl!
I don't know how I missed this one. I am glad that Elvis had her to take care of him. Thank you so much Billy, Trey and others. Nancy sadly passed away in 2022 but God Bless her for all she did. May she rest in peace.
Lovely Lady not meny left now who worked for Elvis. Got to be great full , there are people like Nancy still around. Thanks spa guy another great video.
What a sweet Lady Nancy Rooks is and her daughter. Daughter mentioned about 'the other side of Elvis'. Many people don't stop to realize how much Elvis would have had on his plate each day he woke up. He had to be much like a 'manager/referee of sorts' to all the entourage, each and every day. One thing i always think of in this regard is Charlie Hodge always looked like he was mesmerized by Elvis,or as if Elvis was his big brother, Charlie is always standing in the background starring at Elvis. :) Thanks again for the cool piece of the Elvis puzzle, SG.
Horray! I am super excited you got to interview Nancy. I have both books. And I've been cooking from the Presley Family cookbook. These days its so easy to make most of these meals meat free and dairy free. Which makes this southern gal at heart happy, since I adore southern cooking.
I bought her book a while ago and it was great! It’s not a very long book but the way the stories are told is like she is telling you in person. If you haven’t read it yet, please do you won’t regret it.
Thank you Billy for bringing us these wonderful videos with interviews about the people that actually knew Elvis first hand and knew him as he was in real life. So sad that the majority of these people that knew him are dying off and all their stories are dying with them. We need more interviews with all these people before it is too late. It's fascinating to hear all the inside stories these people have to tell and getting a better picture of who Elvis was. He was human, he was real, he cried, he bleed...he had feelings...this is what we want to know...THE REAL ELVIS!
Her book is one of the few about Elvis I could not put down. I was so sad when it was over. Don’t get me wrong I love all the books but I try to savor them and draw them out. I read hers in a day. I couldn’t stop, lol.
Great video Billy Miss Nancy Rooks lovely lady My goodness can you imagine all the things these ladies who took care of Elvis at the house must have seen and heard Lordy I would have loved to be part of that God bless you Miss Rooks 🙏❤ And God bless you all too Billy Trey ,Dean and Ashley too😀👍

Hi Spa Guy Another Great interview. Nancy looks so Happy love her Smile each time you asked her Elvis questions She tighten up. Thanks again Joseph from NJ....
I met Nancy and her husband across from Graceland. I think it was 2004 or 2005. I took a picture with her got her to sign on a envelope for me that’s the only thing I could find at the time, because the book wasn’t out yet. She was telling me about her book coming out. I bought the book when it first came out. She’s a very sweet lady, I really enjoyed talking with her about Elvis. Thank you, much for your videos just love watching them.
Another great video, Billy. Always enjoy the interviews with those who lived life with him. You can also tell Ashley enjoys them as well, she listens and focus’ so intently on the person speaking..
ROFLMAO oh God Bless this lady and hey Billy you gave her the money ? :-) Almost fell on the floor when she asked you that . What a sweetie she and her daughter is.
Hi Billy.. Thank you So Much for this video.. was Lovely to see Nancy, her daughter and of course Ashley Drew😊Love her channel also. Nancy seems like such a nice lady too. I don’t have Nancy’s book in my collection but I’m hoping to buy a copy. Thanks Billy and Trey!😊⚡️God Bless❤️
I am watching this before I go to bed. It was a long hard day. Just seeing the smile on Miss Nancy's face as she thought of Elvis made my hard day melt away. Thank you Miss Nancy.
This is such a great video and to actually talk to someone that was really close to Elvis melts my heart and to hear them talk about this wonderful Kind man Elvis Presley it just makes me love him so much more that I already do what a pleasure god bless them
Hey Billy you’re awesome at getting information about Elvis. I was wondering who went out and bought the groceries and where they were bought for Graceland, because who ever bought them they must of needed a van or large vehicle and a grocery list. Thank you Billy for keeping Elvis’s memories alive For us fans. Your videos bring back the memories we remember of Elvis. I can’t get enough of your Videos good job Billy.
I've heard a few of Nancy Rooks stories , but I've never got to read her book . I would love to buy it and read it . I bet she has some awesome stories . Bless her heart . Thank you Miss Nancy and her daughter for taking the time to do this interview and thank you Spa Guy , Ashley Drew , and Trey Miller for sharing the video !! I love it !!
Great interview as always Billy. Very few people with those connections like Nancy Rooks . I`m grateful to Nancy that she´ll share her stories with us in Elvis world.. God bless her!
Good on you Nancy to cook with less butter ! Ya knew too much was not good for Elvis health. One man from India who came to BC Canada worked at a sawmill where I worked for 2 years piling lumber. He ate 1 lb of butter every day !!! Like ice cream. Warned him & he just laughed. He was maybe in his 50s married & children. One day he never showed up for work. (You guessed it ....RIP) Ya can tell Nancy is a sweetheart & 27 yrs a cook for the King of entertainment. Soap opera "As the World Turns" & Nancy was & is in the greatest soap opera of all time. The life of Elvis who this to this day has his forever fans !
I hope there is not another book. I only like the ones written that say good things about Elvis. He was without fault as we all are.but everybody doesn't have to know everything.. Let the dead rest...never speak ill of the dead...l loved Elvis and will till I die.
I love your Elvis videos. I watched a video about his other cook, I think her name was Mary. She was the one that gave Elvis his water, she asked him if he wanted something to eat and he said no just water and that was the last time she got to talk to him. You are doing a great job!!!
Hi Mr Spy Guy How old is this lady. I Loved seeing this sometimes we forget that Elvis was a real person because.It's hard to tell which Elvis we are talking to or about is it Elvis the Man or is it Elvis the Image.I remember Elvis talking about in a interview Elvis said it's hard to Live up to a Image. Here is another piece of the puzzle. Don't Stop. I think this is Great what you are doing.You just found away to keep him ALIVE. Thank You sooo much.!!!
I have another book to buy because of you Spa Guy! Thank you for introducing us to all these wonderful people who knew or worked with Elvis! Nancy's book sounds like a must read!
I read Nancy’s book a few years ago. It got me through some hard times. Thank you for sharing your stories, Ms. Nancy. If you don’t yet have the book, I highly recommend it.
Another awesome video as always I just watched a video of some photos took at graceland on a tour and on some of the photos you can clearly see a ghost of elvis I don't know if the photos are fake but thay look 100% real to me
Just bought here book ( autographed copy) and read it! loved it on so many levels-what a great insight to everyday life at Graceland, answers many questions I always wondered about! highly recommend to everyone to purchase it.
Aww bless her heart 💓 she knows that ELVIS was a real person just like me n you If we listen more to the elderly the more we learn I worked with elderly in nursing care ..I've learned so much take care n Always tighten up!😍👍
Her daughter wanting her mother to write another book could be a problem. She could easily wait until her mother's passing and write it herself and put things in there made up to help sell the book!!
Great video, Billy where is the aunt buried? If you have a video on it let me okay. I've watched all your videos but can't remember one about the aunt. Thanks
