Elvis Presley Keyboard Player Bobby Ogdin 1977 The Spa Guy Part #4 

Got chills listening to Bobby play My Way.....spa guy hit a homerun with this interview !

Bobby Ogdin...a genuine class act and legend. Thank you Spa Guy for sharing this great man with us.

Got chills watching Bobby play that song...

Got emotional when he started playing the piano, thank you Billy for all your hard work to make these interviews possible 👏👏👏

Bobby if you read all the comments on Billy’s RU-vid.you have made all us Elvis fans so proud tonight.

When Bobby started playing " My Way " on this Jan 8th 2019 ...i cried cause i could hear Elvis without him .....thank you Bobby ,,, and Spaguy !!!!

Even after 40 years. Only Elvis could bring such emotions hearing his piano player play. Beautiful done. Thank you both for interview.

Wonderful performance! Tears came way too easily.

Wow! What a moving rendition of My Way! Just beautiful…tears.🥰🙏🏻🎶⚡️❤️

Thank you Billy and Bobby Ogdin. MY WAY on the piano just beautiful.

Hi Billy.Bobby thank you so much.amazing.your playing was so so beautiful.oh how touching was that .such wonderful memories.god bless you both.

Billy Billy Billy...I gasped when I saw that piano and then stopped breathing for a minute while he played- Unbelievable. Thank you for all your videos and hard work!

Tears started running as so as he started playing. Well worth watching. Thank you.

Thank you for playing My Way Mr Bobby Ogdin it sure brings back lots of good memories of Elvis and time spent with close friends & family.

This has been an awesome series. Thank you so much Spa Guy my friend. I have thoroughly enjoyed all these fantastic stories from Bobby working and being on the road with the King and his crew. I also had a tear running down my eye when Bobby played My Way on his amazing piano. That song always reminds me of Elvis singing it on his last ever live TV concert in June 1977. 😢 A big cheers and thumbs up 👍 from your mate in Perth Australia.

What a beautiful sound. That was wonderful.

Wow, what an incredible interview with Bobby. I really enjoyed hearing him play 'My Way' on the piano. It brought tears to my eyes thinking about Elvis singing it in his last concert at Indianapolis in June of 77. Even though Elvis didn't look like he felt well his glorious voice never failed him. Bobby has played with so many big musicians and even he felt the excitement and charisma from the fans when Elvis was preforming. Thanks Spa Guy for another great video. God Bless.

A fantastic interview with Mr. Bobby Ogdin. Thank you Mr. Spa Guy.

Yes Connie and Brenda...………..hearing him play that song was like hearing Elvis sing then there in -77 wow, so sweet and special and so beautiful thank you Bobby and thank you again Mr. Spa you are the best ! TCB,

Who else cried like a baby's and could hear Elvis as Bobby played my way? I know a river flooded here

Thanks for playing Bobby! Beautiful touch!

I love Mr. Ogdin's humbleness and sense of humour. He recalled and offered us some great memories. Mr. Ogdin did mention he performed his various assignments during his long career and each time he completed one then it was out of his mind, and on to the next assignment. His explanation reminded me of the response from his old band mate, old friend, the TCB Band player Mr. Jerry Scheff, when people asked Jerry about the details of his career. He offered a similar explanation to Bobby's by stating Jerry moved from assignment to assignment everything was "one blurr" looking back in hindsight. When Mr. Ogdin mentioned his sessions with Mr. Ronnie Milsap, I was reminded of another player which I was surprised Spa Guy didn't mention during the interview with Mr. Ogdin. Surely, Spa Guy would have discovered the same video clip I did when I searched online?? All right. First my little "back story": most Elvis fans from 9 years of age to 90 years of age are familiar with the main contributors to Elvis' show during the 1970s: Jerry Scheff on Bass, Jame Burton and John Wilkinson on guitars, Ronnie Tutt on drums, Kathy Westmoreland, The Sweet Inspirations, and J.D. Sumner & The Stamps and maybe they may recall Sherrill Nielsen, who Elvis introduced at the beginning of "It's Now Or Never" with Sherrill offering his Italian version of "O Solo Mio." Remember?? Now, as I said earlier, most Elvis folks recall the "main people" on stage. And of course, Mr. Charlie Hodge, Mr. Joe Guercio and his orchestra. My back story continues: one evening I wondered about some of the other players on stage: like Mr. Tony Brown, Mr. Larry Londin, Mr. "Stump", as I recall him, the drummer for The Sweet Inspirations and of course, the player of the current interview, Mr. Bobby Ogdin. I typed Mr. Ogdin first and last name into my favourite search engine and well, was I in for an amazing discovery online?? I found a music video produced in 1977, presenting one of the big, popular songs of the day; the recording artist was Mr. Dan Hill. The video featured what proved to be his biggest Billboard Chart hit titled, "Sometimes When We Touch." He would have many hits after this one of course. I am not a big Dan Hill fan but, one of my all time favourite years in music is 1977 when I was a teenager of 14 years, and I recall hearing "Sometimes When We Touch" on the local radio station, CJBK 1290, in London, Ontario, Canada, my home , back in the day. Returning to my RU-vid video discovery. You won't believe who two of the musicians were in the video presentation, the 1977 production of "Sometimes When We Touch"?? Now before I mention who, it was kind of ironic in a way because Dan Hill's signature instrument was the piano. I half expected him to be playing the piano during the video shoot for his hit song, "Sometimes When We Touch." However, during this entire 1977 video shoot Dan is positioned standing in front of a microphone and stand, both hands in his pockets, and of course, offering his brilliant vocal on the song. Friends, I near fell off my computer chair when the camera zoomed in on the piano player! It was none other than our man, Mr. Bobby Ogdin!! There was no mistaking his identity. Nice close up shot and lasting long enough for Elvis fans to say, "Hey?? Wait a minute, isn't he, wasn't he one of the supporting players during Elvis' tour ...?? That's not all. The camera panned over during the uptempo break in the song with the drums and guess who was playing the drums?? None other than Mr. Larry Londin himself. Again, there was no mistaking his identity. Wow. I felt as proud as a peacock. Of course, I don't know anyone I can call these days to share this information. Hehehehe. I think the video is still up online so have a search for yourself. Remember search up the 1977 video presentation of "Sometimes When We Touch." not the second later version. Thanks Spa Guy, and Elvis friends for reading another long post. I was inspired by Mr. Ogdin's memories of Ronnie Milsap and one of the first questions Spa Guy asked Mr. Ogdin during Part One. Peace, Love & Best Wishes to All.

Just watched all four episodes. Great piece of work. Not long off that well-deserved 100,000 subs. Keep them coming.

Bobby Ogdin, great musician and great guy. Great interview Mr Spa Guy!

That was incredible.....made me smile and cry at the same time.....my mother passed away and I couldn’t stop thinking of her during that piano interlude......Spa Guy you’ve done it again !!! :)

Who is the king of bringing elvis facts, and information to all elvis fans, Billy, spa guy, 🥉🤘

Mr. Ogdin... thank you so very much for your experiences that you allowed us to enjoy as an Elvis family.. As Elvis fans we love hearing about his history ...so again thank for that very much... and also when you touched those ivory keys.. man... blew me away... I can picture Elvis singing right along.. beautiful... (and "no" rehearsal)... And can we please see the stage outfits... there ya go Billy "Spa Guy" .. another plug for ya so we "ALL" can see them... and a very special thanks to Billy "Spa Guy" for doing what he does also...

Special treat hearing Bobby play. Thank you. The best musicians always make it look and sound so effortless. Damn em. ;)

Wow Bobby playing was really something!! Felt like he was up on stage and you could tell it took him back for a moment too and he wanted to keep on playing ..

Thank you spa guy .and thank you bobby for playing for us.that was beautiful.

Listening to him play My Way gave me a lump in my throat and goose bump.

Just loving on Bobby Ogdin. Great insight and very kind of him to take time from his personal life to allow Elvis fans to impose upon him and his memories. He understood he was being interviewed for such a reason and was very gracious. Great job by Spa Guy in making sure we understood what a rich history Bobby has in the music industry; not just a piano/organ player for Elvis, but a man that stood his own in a very difficult industry.

Thank you so much for this interview and most of all to Mr Bobby Odgin for the amazing piano playing I could just hear Elvis signing while he played.

Okay... I didn't think I would, but "My Way" got to me...Thanks for this...

Awesome piano playing! Brings back memories

I went to Bobby’s website and the list of who he’s played for is tremendous and almost all recognizable huge names. So glad he gave his time to do this interview. Interviews are best when done by people very knowledgeable. Because they know what many people know and find out something themselves and people don’t know. Thanks again for bringing it Billy. Great job.

Beautiful piano playing love the song 🎵 thanks for all information love it

What a beautiful moment caught on film! Love the piano playing and this interview was fantastic. Thank you Bobby and Billy!

Beautiful piano playing mr Ogden ty spa guy😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Awesome playing. You could hear each word of My Way!

Another great video!! As I posted before I saw Elvis when I was 18 in 1976. And I remember Jackie Kahane. The Sweet Inspirations singing before Elvis came on stage. It was the first time I heard him sing America The Beautiful because the Bicentennial. And Hurt was so awesome. To hear it on cd is one thing but in concert was GREAT!!

Another amazing video! Hearing the behind the scene history is awesome. I saw E twice when he came to my city, I was 10/11 yo. I had all his records and that young he was all I listened to. In the car on our way home from Opryland in Nashville when the news came on the radio. My Dad had to pull off at a rest stop to comfort me bc I was crying so bad 😓 I had chills when Bobby was playing the piano , going to his site now to show him some love! Thank you Spa Guy!✌️

Oh my God how beautiful He is amazing I hear every word 😘👌🏼🦋

Great job spa guy and Bobby, really enjoyed these interviews especially playing My Way. 🎹🎶

Thank you Bobby🤗

Best piano version of My Way I've ever heard. Thanks for the upload

Great interview. Very interesting and great piano playing Bobby! Fab job Billy!

Hello again Spa Guy, I just watched a video of Elvis performing An American Trilogy and thought of how awesome it would be if you could interview Ronnie Tutt and get him to play. That would be cool to see!! Enjoy the rest of your day 🙂.

The song brought tears immediately. I guess with all the news the past few weeks it’s sad. Beautiful job guys

Thanks made me cry

This was a very nice series, my thanks to Bobby and Billy and who ever was a part of this.

Oh my goodness so beautiful playing piano it gave me tears just imagining hearing Elvis voice singing 🙄 thank you so much really appreciate all the stories may the Lord bless you all. Great job Spa Guy 😎👨‍🎤🎹🎵🎶🎼

A great series! I enjoyed every second of this. Loved him playing my way, I could E singing. Would have loved to have seen the jackets but you can't have it all. Great job Billy..... Your work is the best!! :)

Man! You are awesome Spa Guy!! It was so cool when Mr. Ogdin started playing "My Way". I could just hear Elvis' voice singing along in my mind. How I wish i could have existed back when Elvis was alive. I would've done my best to make it to one of his concerts, but since that's not possible RU-vid and especially your videos will suffice. Thank you so much for sharing this, and Thank you Mr. Ogdin for your interview and awesomely beautiful music. It literally made me get a little teary eyed just hearing the music and imagining Elvis' voice. He was one special artist and human being, and anyone who had the opportunity to see him or know him doesn't know how lucky he or she really is. I was born too late. That's why I cherish these videos and all the great Elvis footage available to us here on RU-vid. Have a great day Spa Guy! 👍👍👏

Fantastic videos Billy, Bobby is a great guy and I really enjoyed all his stories, and his playing was fabulous ~ God bless my friend

We just have to see those jackets part 5? Maybe! Thanks Billy

Elvis Presley estrela que continua a brilhar... Obrigada Bobby e Billy. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡....

Excellent

Thank you bobby

Billy thank you again for all that you do ! So much history!

Great interview

Bobby that is a good game. Crib. Ya mentioned about Charlie handing scarfs in Pt 3 think it was. When Elvis did his opening songs he would blindly backhand & blindly throw the guitar in Charlie's direction. Charlie had to be ready because catching a flying guitar on stage infront of 8,10,15,000 or how many in the building was no easy task. Heard Charlie never dropped it!!!That was really nice playing sir. Yes I can see in my mind's eye Elvis holding that paper with the words My Way & then throwing the papers away. Thought he had a mental block & was just unsure if the words would come to him or not, so it was just a safety measure. Elvis would sometimes forget the words Are you Lonesome tonight ...as he would just say " oh the heck with it " ... You really strike me as a nice humble guy & just know Jesus loves ya so much. Take care. Good stuff Billy. Yes Elvis really did it his way. As Joe E said that Elvis died at 42 but what he did in those 42 yrs was what many men living long lives still could not do what Elvis did.

This is great

Thank you so much for these great video's and interviews!

Thanks for the interview, loved it ❤️

What a great interview and thank you Bobby for playing that fantastic piano solo. Bill thank you for asking Bobby to play a song and thanks for another wonderful interview. Waiting to see what the next one will be about.🇺🇸

Thank you for posting this series. Quite informative and entertaining as well.

I love your videos.

wish you would do the rest of the band that is still alive. Jerry was a KILLER bass player

Wow-made this old truck driver cry

Hey Billy, What an awesome chat you had. Was so cool to listen to Bobby. His playing My Way, really drew me closer to Elvis for an instant, was as if Elvis could have been with us still. Thanks alot

Another awesome musician! Thank you Spa Guy for sharing these videos!

Fantastic interview I really loved the piano playing! It would have been cool to see those jackets?? Anyway another awesome video!! Thank you very much

Thanks, Bobby and Billy... Enjoyed it!

Thanks Billy, I really enjoyed the history and you keep bringing it to us! How old is Bobby now? He looks great. Tighten up friend.

Great ending to the 4 part videos...thank you Spa Guy! As usual I have comments and questions however, I will post them on separate comments. Questions...What is the green M&M's about that Mr. Ogdin mentioned? Is Mr. Ogdin going to show us the jackets? I hope so! Thank you Mr. Ogdin for sharing your memories! You are are legend and a lucky man to have been great enough to play for Elvis! My Way was a beautiful song and you played it beautifully!.

Ole' Spa Guy!
