Elvis Presley Heartbreak Hotel and RCA Studios Nashville The Spa Guy 

It's a shame that they tear those historic building down instead of fixing them up. Take care brother and YHVH bless.

What a shame , they could have made the recording studio into a museum.

Billy, You are truly my Elvis Archive Ambassador..Elvis Hisorical Hero! I am heavily interested in all the background history of anything ELVIS. I have been that way for years. I am all about detail and am so appreciative of your pain staking efforts to make that happen. I am truly blessed that you do such a thing. You have no idea what that means to me. I show my father who is a HUGE Elvis fan your videos. We have been to Graceland more than 10 times since 1979 and still always much to learn about this facinating fella. Thank you..thank you very much!! Rowland

I guess they really needed the parking lot more than the studio. I'm glad the other buildings are still there. Elvis looks really sharp in his uniform. Thanks for sharing these videos Billy.

Thank you thank you very much❤👑🙏👍👌💯🎤🎸#1always!!!Rip Elvis,

Soooo thankful to you for at least making these historic, MUCH LOVED, TREASURED LANDMARKS documented!! We Elvis People cling to every thing you can preserve, even though it's just a memory ......we at least know where these worldly events happened!! Why CAN'T WE GET AN ELVIS PRESLEY INTERNATIONAL DAY ON HIS BIRTHDAY? No one deserves this HONOR MORE! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ELVIS PRESLEY !

Elvis actually only recorded one session in Studio B in the 1950s, the 1958 session when he was on leave from the Army (and when the photo was taken of him outside the building in his uniform). He wore his uniform throughout the session and if you listen to the studio tapes, he inserts several Army phrases into the between-song banter ("at ease," "attention," etc.). Most of his other post-Sun 50s hits were either recorded in the now torn-down studio shown at the beginning of the video, Radio Recorders in Hollywood, or RCA's studio in New York. The studio that was torn down survived up until 2005. While the inside likely wasn't as well-preserved as Studio B is, it was still a pretty historic building. Many of those huge early hits from the Everly Brothers were also recorded there.

My daddy was in the army in Germany when Elvis was, he used to see him around the base and town

I wish they would leave the historical buildings alone . I have been in studio B in Feb. 1989 . I remember them telling them us that Elvis made records there . I'm so glad you shared this Spa Guy . I love it . I have pictures of one of Elvis's car's at the country music Hall of Fame . The top of the car is opened up . I wish I could shared that picture on here .

That pic of Elvis in uniform, from what I know............would have been AFTER his Ft Hood Tx AIT (Tank School) and on leave and then he would have gone to New York ,I think, to catch a Ship to go to Friedberg Germany in 1/32 Armor Bn. Where I was in 1980. :) Thanks Billy. Hey man if you ever need any info about His & My old unit & locations, let me know ok? I lived just up the street from the house he rented there in Bad Nauhiem Germany too:) (and earlier I was his neighbor again in Horn Lake MS at The Circle G in 67 & 68) :) Small World TCB!! ___________________________ LONG side note:) Billy, I never really put it together till now, as I watch your video but you got me to thinkin' man: *He was from Memphis(Tupelo actually in the beginning), I was too *He ate at Colettas Café in Memphis and my mama worked there,about that time. She told me of seeing him there so it MAY have been at the same time(s)... *He lived or Stayed at The Circle G Ranch in the late 1960s and I lived next door in that trailer park that used to be there...at Hwy 301 & Nail Rd.(Drive way is still there by the lakes) *He went in the Army & I did too. *He was stationed in Texas.....yep and I was TOO!! :) *He was trained on Tanks & I was too. *He went to Friedberg Germany & I did too. *He lived IN Bad Nauhiem & I did too...... ((WAIT....Theres MORE! LOL)) *When he got to 1/32 Armor at Ray Barracks in 58 , they took him OFF of tanks and placed him in the Recon Scout Platoon and THAT is exactly what they did to me. I was a SSG/E-6 in the recon scout platoon from Mar 1980 - 1983 *I was IN Germany on Aug of 77 when the AFN American TV station told of his death and I cried like a family member had passed away. Man it was terrible, well to me it was. :( *I played music professionally for 30+ years in country bands. That is so strange............what a VERY small world it is indeed ? Thanks for the long post & reading my old soldiers war stories :) Show less

Barbara private how so cool great viewing yes indeed billy it's ashame a great shame it don't stay the same..... Wow great stuff. ...( Billy) alot of memories there Just sad ok l

Somebody beat me to it again: Billy, yes indeed, you are THE Elvis Archive Ambassador. Thank you for this fantastic and educational video.

I have been to Studio B twice when it was close the the Old Country Music Hall of Fame...

Elvis is in heaven

Tons of Elvis classics were recorded at Studio B between 1958-71.

Love this guy, one of the best Elvis historians on the net.

They should have kept the historic building. Heartbreak Hotel is like an international anthem.Thanks Spa Guy for this.Ashley got a sharp eye & you have a great singing voice.

In the late 1980s I stopped by Scotty duplicating service and asked if Scotty was in and if so, would it be possible to meet him and get an autograph. The lady there said that he wasn't there at the moment but if I didn't mind coming back later she would at least get him to give me an autograph. I did indeed stop back later and sure enough, Scotty gave me his autograph. Not only did he give me his autograph, but his autograph is on his companies letterhead from this very location. I did finally get to meet Scotty not once, but on three different occasions later on. Truly a lifetime dream come true to meet such a legendary guitar player that was there from the very beginning. I just don't believe for a moment Elvis would have had that sound or style at all without Scotty. Without Scotty, we would be hearing a different kind of sound from Elvis in the beginning and perhaps Elvis may not have become as iconic as he has become. Scotty Moore.......LEGENDARY! As usual, great, great video my friend.A damned shame they even consider tearing down such historic sites. What's the matter with Nashville politicians?

my boy my boy...a parking lot...sad

Heartbreaking tales of popmusic history as can only be told by the perrenial NO. 1 ELVIS ARCHIVIST IN THE WORLD. Am all shook up again but thanks OUR SPAGUY!!!

One of the most significant and important buildings in music history. Maybe they are so close to it they can't see how historic and important it is. Amazed it's not become a tourist sight like Abbey Road in London. As for tearing down studio A as Joni Mitchell sang "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot". Cool bit at the end with the photo Ashley Drew found.

Your right Billy , trying to erase history is nonsense , Memphis grew because of Elvis , its ashame

Excellente! Thank you!

I loved visiting Studio B, I got the chills in that room where Elvis recorded! Did you see the broken cabinet that he kicked in and the Steinway he used to record? So cool. I got a few photos with my iPhone and actually, one pic of the ceiling lighting that I took was reposted by RCA Studio B on Instagram as their pic of the day! I'm so glad this place is being preserved. Love your videos SG!

Very nice work on that, I can't see enough of anything related to the king, I see stuff like this, and think why did Elvis die so young, there was so much more for him to do, life to live, RCA is cool, thanks buddy 👍

That last picture was great! Never seen it before! Thanks again for this very nice and informative video (And you forgot to mention my favorite from the sessions, 'I Got Stung' also recorded in June '58) ;-)

great video

Fantastic video again please keep em coming Spa Guy - love all your Elvis videos

Elvis por siempre!!!! México te recuerda

Spa Guy.... I Admire & Have So much Appreciation Respect of Your Awesome Work of ELVISICON History. It's Amazing Extradionary one. You Rock Always...!!!!!! 😎 Love your Filming Videos History.

Hi there, I firstly want to say thank you so much for your fantastic uploads, I watch them regularly and find them fascinating and packed with good information. I went to studio B in the September of 2016 on a tour and wow it was such a spiritual experience for me. I can't believe that so many singers recorded their songs here, let alone Elvis!! So glad they saved the studio and didn't tear it down like the Heartbreak Hotel. These places are so full of history for people like me who was only six years old when Elvis passed and from the U.K. I did, so my mum says, cry when I saw it on the news that sad day. I apparently said "who's going to sing teddy bear to me now?" I love Elvis with a passion and his music is my favourite. I'm going to be visiting Graceland, Tupelo, studio B etc when I come back to the U.S. again in September 2018. Can't wait!! Maybe you could pop by, would love to meet you. Keep uploading your fantastic uploads, the information is paramount.. Vicky Uk xx

Once again Spa guy you do a great job. with letting us fans know more about Elvis life and we thank you for that. Please keep up the good work fan for life.

So very , very kool !!! #MeantToBe ✨🎼🎤🎸✨🏆

This is my childhood Spa Guy. Thank you for making it real. I’ll be visiting for the first time next month. It’s almost surreal.

all your videos are treasures !

Great Video my friend, I toured Studio B in 1990

Greeting from Canada 🇨🇦 my friend your video is so interesting and amazing thank you for sharing your video

Thank you once again Mr. Spa Guy/ Billy for the great Elvis trivia. I always look forward to your next video on Elvis trivia. Cool picture of Elvis. The way they keep turning the recording studios and places Elvis freaked into parking lots and gas stations there won't be anything left that had Elvis connected to them...so awfully sad to see history disappear like that. Tighten up.

As always, awesome video and history! If I could go back in time there would be two individuals I'd like to hang out with. Elvis and Johnny Cash!!

Thanks for sharing all this history with us 🤗

Sadly, a lot of old historical bldgs end up as parking lots 😣

another great video, or small documentary actually. FTD used that picture of Elvis and entourage entering the studio inside the album 'I sing all kinds'. This studio is where Elvis did the recordings better known as the Nashville marathon if I am not mistaken. Thanks again Spa Guy :-)

Thanks Billy for all your hard work in Investigating each story. Its much appreciated by all.

Hi Billy from the UK. Excellent program as always. Thank you, thank you very much!

I know more about Elvis history since watching your channel. My next trip to Memphis Will be entertaining. I live in Paducah, KY just North of Nashville and Memphis. It is 2 hours to Nashville and 3 to Memphis.

Just when I think you can't top yourself, you do! My favorite part was the birds whistling. Nothing like the sounds of happy birds in the south. Sweet Inspiration! TY once again SpaGuy!!!

Thanks Billy. You are great at bringing us Elvis facts and information. Love it.

Love this video, SG. I had viewed it several weeks ago, but had to see it again cuz my wife and I will be there next week. WooHoo!!

Once again Spa guy many thanks for these little gems you bring to us, 👍 keep them coming, all the best- John (UK)

Come rain or shine, sleet or snow. The Spa Guy will always let us know.😀 thanks again!

Just visited this last week on a trip from England. Thanks again and stay tight Billy.

Very cool, thanks once again!

I'm a big Elvis fan. I love what you do Spa Guy. Your cool just like Elvis was, keep up the good work.

I couldn't live in a city with so much history! Why? Cause I could never do my job or spend time with my family cause I would drive around all day everyday just looking at sites!

Love your videos Spa Guy. They are inspiring me.

U are great love watching all your stuff im a huge elvis fan and you make it all great ty soooo much

Great video as always.. Thank you spa guy !!

So interesting.. Thank you for the time you spend on these Spa G!

This was very interesting. I love the way you cover everything. You see things that I would never think of but I'm glad you did. Thanks SG.

Another awesome video Spa Guy!!!! Thank you so much for all that you do!!!

Spa Guy I love your video's!! It give me a great wonderful insight in Elvis his life!! Thank you so much! Greetings from the Netherlands..

Beautific! Great work, as always...:)

demolishing Iconic building's is too common here in LA. good to see you Spa Guy. Robert.

Love your videos. You do so much work to get these out to us. You can save us a ton of research time and driving around as you have done it yourself on things lots of us would never think of. More things to see when we go to Nashville and Memphis. Keep up the great work.

Gosh, I love this stuff!! Not only that but it's so nice knowing there's someone out there that loves and appreciates Elvis the way I do! Good job, Spa Guy

Thank you so much man!

That building with Elvis in the hat has now been painted blue! I’m standing in that spot right now!

They paved paradise and put in a parking lot.

They paved paradise......

go Billy go !

you do a good Elvis to thank you for the look in .

History indeed! Thanks.

Well done , thanks.

Also...at Studio B, there is a block on the building that is still partially damaged where Dolly Pardon was leaving after a session and she thought she was in reverse but in fact in Drive, so she drove into the wall and damaged the blocks of the building which can still be seen today. I know this because myself & my wife toured Studio B few years ago.

Great job billy love to watch all your research videos of elvis and all the history you come up with. Love to meet you someday your research and work is incredible! Thank you sir! And tighten up each chance you get....Rick Ashley Bloomington il.

Great as always !!!!

Como eu gostaria de conhecer um pouco dos lugares onde Elvis Presley gravou, cantou, onde pisou. LENDA.

Thank u for ur Work. Love videos about Elvis.

It should have been a museum.... that is sad...

Great video again Mr. Spa Guy! You are the best! I was just curious if you have ever thought about putting out a DVD of your Elvis history? I am sure that you could make several volumes. I would love to own them. Question? Do you know why RCA didn't release "Aint That Loving You Baby" until 1964? Would have been a smash hit in 1958 or 59! Just curious. I can't seem to find anything about it. Keep up the great work and Thank You for the history and for helping keep Elvis memory alive.

That’s brilliant spa guy! Really enjoyed watching that. The extra information with the photo was a treat! 👌🏽

Been. There so..many. Times. I. Hated. When. The. City tore down. The old. Studio same. As. If. You. Go. Down. To. Music. Row. All. That. Has changed. I hope. This. Stays. Up. Elvis had so many. Hits. Come. Out. Of. That. Building. As. Legand Has. It. He. Preformed. One. Time. In 1973. At. The. Old. Municipal audtoriam. Which. Still. Stands to. This day

That was an awesome video! Thank you so much, Billy! Keep 'em, coming, please! :-)

Another great job keep on tighting up you are the man iam always surprised and just can't get over your dedication I am a die hard elvis fan all my life but you take it to the next level thanks again for all your hard work i always look forward to your next vlog i will make sure to tighten up lol
