Elvis Presley Pharmacist Dr A. L. Black Tells Stories Part #1 The Spa Guy 

Love the fact he questioned the address from the start and at the end he was right. I like the sharpness of the man’s mind and his loyalty to the truth about Elvis without crapping on him. Cool interview

Who else watches the spa guys videos more than once!? I personally love it💯

Elvis had a longtime interest in medicine and read a lot of medical books in his leisure time

"That works on your heart. That's when you get in trouble." Amen, Dr Black. People love telling you their stories, Billy. It's a gift and a blessing. And thanks for sharing it. TCB

I love your videos. It gives his fans insight to things we would never know

He looks quite young for his age. Thanks for the interview, guys!

Don't worry doc, you look lovely and thanks for your stories

This gives me an eery feeling when I watch this. What a lifestyle he lived and knew so many of those capsules, in the early 60s at that! I'm no expert by any means, I wouldn't be able to recognize one of them!

Keep the Elvis vids coming cuz im a fan 😌

Interesting interview so far. Thank you SG. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you Dr. Black for sharing your Elvis memories. God bless.

Elvis was interested in so many Topics …Can you imagine his delight in computers and all the electronics we have now ? it’s unfortunate that so many buildings and landmarks have been pulled down but as they say “That’s progress “ I truly appreciate all the wonderful videos you provide for us and all the work you put into ur interviews etc… go

Always interesting, 🐾💂👑💂🐾👍👍👍

Cliff Hanger Moment....I’m thinking we’re going to see that gun in the next one. Billy you’re work will be remembered for years to come! Because of you, history won’t be forgotten or misconstrued! Generations will watch your videos wanting to know everything that was EAP!!

It's very nice what you talking about that for the doctors and his pharmacist it's very excellent video

Really great how you find these people and how so many are happy to be interviewed, looking forward to part 2.

How interesting that Elvis was so interested in pill identification. At first glance I thought it was a big jar of candy😂 I look forward to part 2.

"Keep it up" spa guy ....I'm a huge fan

Can't wait to see part 2

That a BOY BILLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep the Videos a Coming !!!!!!!!!!!! Good Bless!!!

Glad you got to interview him. Just love how he saved a lot of momentos from his career.

Another awesome story

Thanks for your awesome story's enjoying 😊

His mind is sharp. I am quite sure Elvis had to be on his ps and qs with him. No tricking that pharmacist.

Can't wait to see part 2 very interesting thanks A lot spa guy sure do enjoy your tutorials. Marticia Buckner

Another interesting video SpaGuy.Looking forward to part 2

Thanks for the videos Spa Guy keep up the good work ♥️ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love your video's Spa Guy. Your alway's very kind to the people you interview, your alway's respectful. Thank you for sharing. God bless you!!!

***One thing I hope everyone remembers is that back then many in the entertainment industry used medications.Also, we didn't hear about prescription drug addiction back then, and we did not have a Betty Ford clinic.Elvis was hospitalized many times trying to detox- but today,we know it takes more than just getting the drugs out of the body for a person to recover.

This is awesome!! He looks wonderful!

Billy. Another great video. I really love your blogs about Elvis and you always find the best of what’s left out there. I would love to see Billy Smith and you talk someday also

These are great stories Billy. Thanks so much for all the hard work you put in to find out about these people and the effort to connect with them and share their stories with us. Bless you brother.

Elvis starting taking drugs in the army. got addicted later in life w his hetic schedule of tours his physical a Emotional pains he had to keep up his touring a image to keep going support everybody around him a his family Graceland. poor Elvis he was so tired.

Thanks Spa Guy!

Dr Black is a nice guy. Elvis the country boy side of him trusted in the city white collar educated people medical doctors & the meds they gave to patients that the pills must be harmless. I understand Elvis took pills even in his early concerts & later in the army & it just carried on thru his life. On tv now a days when a medication ad comes on there is 15 seconds on what it will do for you & then 45 seconds of warnings of what it may do to you. Heart troubles dizzy ness fainting diarrhea high blood pressure suicidal thoughts on & on... Wonder if the pill bottles had any warnings & maybe if warnings were more given possibly Elvis would of been more careful & taken less.

Thank you so much billy.always look forward to your new postings.looking forward to seeing part 2.what you do is amazing.Dr A l Black seems a realy lovely chappie .much appreciated.

Thanks Spa Guy! Interesting story. Looking forward to part 2 :)

Another terrific interview Mr. Spa Guy. Thank you super investigator. So sad that Elvis got addicted to drugs. Tighten up. Have a blessed day.

Very interesting!!

Great information, nice work Spa Guy, love all your videos ☺️

Fantastic never seen this episode or even heard of that whole story with the gun & the pill jar very cool. Please keep researching & producing these shows Billy, real historical 💎,s !!!

Can’t wait to c part 2 friend. Good work as always- God Bless. Peg

No there is not a problem .continue with Elvis history. Elvis was my ideal.

I'm ready to see the pistol. Elvis got so angry if people called him a junky. I believe he was in deep denial for so long because it was prescription drugs and not street drugs. That's my opinion though

Thankyou so very much my SPA GUY.SO VERY INTERESTING. WHEN I AM BACK IN MEMPHIS,WE SHOULD HAVE A COFFEE. OH , WHEN IS PART 2 COMING???(WITH THE PHARMACIST). MUCH APPRECIATED.

Interesting story 🙌🏼Also touching too😞just hearing that eventually the heart gets the repercussions of the intake and years of the pills. Sad but true 💔Entertaining so much ! Gosh I wish this didn’t happen

I could sit and talk for hours with this gentleman. Love his home too. Nice interview.

So interesting looking forward to part 2 Thank u SOooo much for ur videos ,these will be just as priceless one day and those of us learning of Elvis have ur awesome,informative videos to refer to .😊🤩

So Did Elvis give Dr Black Gifts to like he did everyone else Elvis was Something ELSE

Love all your videos and Thank you for your hard work. Also, the thumbnail image, the glass jar. I have the exact same, my grandmother had one, full of candies. Thanks again Friend

Wow that was awesome can’t wait for part 2 ! Thank you so much for these awesome videos!!

Good

That listing shows a Dr Parrot, Thats a Dr my mom took me to.

Awesome !!!

gm you are the best !! God bless you !!! and don't for get to tighten up every chance !!!!

This is a great opportunity and rare to speak with a physician who offered Elvis his services during the early 1960s. What do I know of Memphis or being a "Memphian"?? I lived over 800 miles away from Elvis and his hometown. I am a dumbstruck Canuck. Canadian for those who are not aware of the euphemism, "Canuck." What I am trying to lead to is, perhaps this Dr. Black [any relation to Elvis' 1950s bassist Mr. Bill Black or his family??] is experiencing his very first interview about ANY of his former patients?? I would guess he had his thoughts about Elvis Presley when he learned of Elvis' passing?? His feelings based on his professional knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry?? His personal feelings about Elvis as another patient?? Bill, again, I love your videos and what you do to put together "another piece of the Elvis puzzle" but, I wish you would have let this gentleman speak more often during the interview. I can't speak for all your viewers but, I have been following Elvis life story since 1977. I want to learn more about what Dr. Black thought of Elvis and how Elvis interacted with people not connected to the entertainment industry. Bill, you sound very knowledgeable, but, most of us are aware of your "Elvis Presley Knowledge". Prepare questions to encourage the person you are interviewing rather than continue to interject the conversation with your point of view. Thanks for reading my long posts. I look forward to watching Part 2 of this interview.

Great interview!

This was a very interesting and informative video Billy once again you do a great job , it's clear what the situation was .

Good video :)

Johnny Cash was prescribed pills too (for his touring.) It seemed to be the 'done thing' back then. Uppers and downers. Johnny got messed up on them for a while, early on in his career. He went back to them too at a later stage but June Carter helped him, along with his children who all put pen to paper and each wrote a 'letter' to their Dad to read, which told him their worries about his reliance on the pills and how they didn't want to lose him. I wish Elvis had beat the addiction like Johnny did, but sadly, we all know how Elvis reacted when any of his friends or family showed concern for his addiction. 😥

Awesome video Spa,gay! Thank you!

love em

Are you gonna post those other videos With Dean? And thank you for the AWESOME VIDEOS

Dr. black has a spectacular home

Wow I never he had that kind of a problem. Do you know what year he played in Alabama last.i think my mother and brother went to see him.

I have been a fan of your channel for what 4 or 5 years now Spa Guy? I'm still so fascinated with Elvis! I have been doing quite a bit of research on Dr. Nick and from what I've read in his book and what I've learned on my own from people talking about him & online research I've found that Dr. Nick was a very good doctor. I've read his book and what he had to say about Elvis's health and how he treated him. Dr. Nick did think Elvis could have had COPD.... Elvis's autopsy report stated an "antitrypsin deficiency" (genotype ms) which is emphysema. Without the proper technology then Dr. Nick was very close to diagnosing it! Amazing I think! Also, Dr. Nick treated Elvis for hypertension (high blood pressure) the autopsy showed Elvis's heart was 2 times the normal size! Again Dr. Nick was so close! Had they had the technology we have today I feel Dr. Nick could have saved Elvis. I didn't see any of the other doctors Elvis saw giving this type of care. I just wanted to share this, I know this video is older, but I felt Dr Nick should have some praise for being a doctor who listened & genuinely cared for his patients both famous & not. 😊 Happy 4th of July Spa Guy to you & your family. P.s. Let's let off some fireworks for Elvis! ❤ 🇺🇸

Спасибо большое, за прекрасный рассказ и русские субтитры! 👍💯

Thank you billy love sitting listing to you about elvis ...... I want to use the feelings where elvis use to be to . Im getting alot of on my FBook a site for non love for elvis . I meant to write saying "The non love people"said Elvis should been charge . This not good for my two adults kids and my G'kids ,Im wanting my kids to reach to elvis to but these sites of non Elvis frequently popping up these could be passing on my kids fbook to this is not helping if my kids read there comments elvis should of been charge so this era of 30 years old are going to red non love sites of elvis now to many out there i didn't knew people dislike elvis . Thank you billy from Sydney Australia 17Th Sept 2023 .

Not sure but I think I heard that Elvis had thought about becoming a Physicain at one time...

They should stop knocking things down and rebuilding things. It makes it hard to give someone directions if it's not there. They can just renovate and reuse them.

great! C U in Europe soon!

I thought it was candy ha ha! When I was little I saw this with candy in it. It started in military I feel!

Interesting interview.

Im ready to see you pull that hog leg out of its case! 😆

It’s gonna be ok

Billy I know I always bring up the conspiracy thing! I guess because I was here in NYC during 9/11, working down there for months afterwards! So you hear things...and anything is possible! I been going through every old video I can find, trying to find discrepancies in what people had said about that awful August day. Even taking notes on who said what... I recently found a video ( which I am sure you must have seen too) where Lisa Marie’s answers were just off to me. In one sentence she says “Dodger The Grandmother’? That seemed weird to me, as why use “the” instead of just saying Dodger my great grandmother! Then she says how she remembered the body (Elvis’ wake) being there for 3 days and how strangely enough, ‘it’ made her feel comfortable. Maybe I’m just taking her words out of context and stretching for something more than it is... I just found ‘it’ to be a weird use of pronouns! The three days comment, could have been an easy mistake and her not remembering correctly. But to say ‘it’ instead of him, just doesn’t sit well with me! Then Lisa stops the conversation, saying she felt uncomfortable talking about the subject. Almost similar to the Larry King interview! You and I are the same age, so we were young rookies when E passed away. Can I ask where you were that day and what were you doing when you heard the news?

So young to Dr all drugs lot pary just so young

Hmmm? Burrows in that phone book?

When was the old Memphis Hospital was demolished

What's it like holding a million dollars in your hand lol

You have me all confused now Spa Guy. At first you show the adresses 4190 and 4299. Later on you talk about 6190 and 6299.

Elvis se interessava por livros de medicina , acho que era em causa própria pelo uso das pílulas. Dr. Black é muito simpático e está muito bem , ele é mais velho que Elvis seria hoje ?

Even today the military uses stimulants to regulate combat fighter pilots. In Iraq they would give them uppers for long missions and bring them down with Ambien.

Where's the gun .....which video

Elvis is gone let him rest in pease.
