I have to say one more thing - Billy, it seems to me that a lot of the times when you are telling your stories, even though you're telling something funny - you seem to get choked up. It's as if your'e right on the verge of breaking down and crying. I have to say that it gets to me when I hear your voice change like it does when this occurs. I don't know you from Adam but I know that I like you. So thank you very much for you guys doing this. For a life long fan like me and I am sure to others as well, it is such a tremendous GIFT that you people are giving to us by sharing your life stories you experienced with Elvis and his family. God bless you all.....
Not gonna make a long post but I would like for ya'll to know there were ALOT of people that would have liked to pay our love & respect to the whole Smith family that couldn't make it to Memphis so Billy needs to know ya'll are a whole lot more loved than what showed up to see you during Elvis week. ! Much love to you all ! God Bless the whole Smith family
My wife and myself visited Graceland in 1984 and we got to meet Richard Davis, George Klein, Charlie Hodge and Elvis' uncle Vester Presley. They were all wonderful people. We also visited Tupelo, Elvis birthplace and got to meet Colonel Tom Parker and he treated us wonderful. He was a genuine person. We also got to meet Ricky Nelson. He was my No.2 favorite singer next to Elvis. What a wonderful meeting. By the way, we are from Malaysia, S.E. Asia. ELVIS will forever lives in our hearts! Two Thumbs Up!
What an honor to hear Billy's stories. He's one of Elvis's closest confidants, here only to tell his story for us fans to indulge. There until the very end. God Bless you Billy.
Rewatching these older episodes make me get tears. I can recall watching them but I wasn't well enough to recall the details. Back then it was like a child looking for their cartoon. Now, it's back to normal. And my heart for the Smith Family endures. Cannot wait to meet y'all one day! Thank you so much!!!✌️🤟

Fantastic...just love love love these stories of Elvis and the guys..and I love the way you tell them Billy..it's just like your right back there again... just wonderful ..and bless you all.. Always live Elvis..EP forever 💞
Hi guys can’t wait for the rest of the stories about all the guys you had so much fun but that’s what is all about back then so many great memories and without Elvis none of that would have happened so glad that you enjoyed Elvis week and meeting all the fans as you are now the only link to Elvis and I am sure that they came away with lots of information and stories about Elvis that they didn’t know and then going to the museum which is going well for you all and without all you guys putting it together keep up the great work you are all doing Elvis would be very proud of you all
Thanks for making these videos. Billy your great has is all your family this one made me laugh can't wait until the next one. Elvis is always taking care of business
Thank you so much, you are all such darlings . Love to listen to you Billy, such story teller you are and your memories are clearly so vivid to you. Marty sure must have been a character, and you knew him as well as others. Lotsa love to you all, so very happy of having had a possibility to meet you this year. Keep well.😘😘😘
Elvis is watching from above !! Thank you for sharing! I love hearing stories about Elvis from those that knew him before he became a STAR! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
I visited Graceland recently for the first time. I didn't know much about Elvis before that and now I love listening to all these stories about him and his friends. Thank you for sharing them. 🙂 Also, I'm from WV, and the way you guys talk, it's like I'm listening to one of my uncles telling a story. Love it!
Danny, I appreciate so much how respectful you are of your dad! You just let him talk without interrupting him and listen with a smile on your face. There is a lot of men out there who could take a page out of your book when it comes to how they treat their dad’s!
Mr.Smith you most definitely are a national treasure!! Absolutely love hearing you tell them times you shared with Elvis!!God Bless you Sir and your wonderful family!!
Alan was the first to go and unfortunately many left the house in the last couple of years. Marty was a clever guy and very sensitive too despite his 'dry sense of humor'. I miss them all: Charlie, Lamar, Red, Sonny, Richard, Dr. Nick, Joe, Sheila... So sad. But thank God we still have you!
@@boris.dupont I have been thinking for awhile that Sheila and ginger were the same person,I remember hearing one of his concerts,and heard Elvis saying,come here Sheila let me sign this song to you.first and only time I remember hearing her name,sorry for the lose of your friend,thank you for answering question
I will always live Ep since l was ten years old I have been a Ep fan now I'm fifthy eight years old . I always dreamed about Ep because of all of the Smith family I have goten to understand stand ep more as a real person .thank you all much love to all
My goodness, y'all have so many memories of the life time with Elvis, I am going to just say, y'all have me crying a bit just seeing the love and how much all of you have for Elvis, I can hear the love in the stories and really do see it in your eyes... Y'ALL are just precious and nobody else can tell the stories like y'all do, Can't get any closer than you guys... I just enjoy watching and listening to all the things you all can tell, PS: When y'all can, tell the information on how to order the shirts y'all have come up with, I'm sure after Elvis week y'all may be running behind, but, that's fine, y'all may need to print out some sweat shirts or hoodies, and jogging pants too.... Lord, listen to me telling y'all how to do, no I'm just saying, I would like wearing them, hope your Moma is doing good, and may the Lord bless you all, in Jesus name amen ✝️🕊️👼🙏💕💙🎼😎⚡😇🎼
There's only you and Jerry shilling left i think and Larry still going some may say Larry wasn't but really the MM were men/woman Elvis had close to him in his Circle The "Memphis Mafia" was the group of friends, associates, employees and cousins whose main functions were to accompany, protect, and serve Elvis from the beginning of his career in 1954 until his death in 1977. So i would include as would Elvis Larry Geller, he served Elvis being his hair stylist. Billy, you know i think it would be great for you to write a book of all your memories of the good times you had growing up with Elvis. the comments are full to bursting of people who can't get enough when your videos end i pine, i really do i can't wait for the next video. You don't know how much we really appreciate you and your family . You endear us to Elvis i feel more closer to him than ever hearing stories that we would not get anywhere else no one knew him like you.I would love to sit and read pages & pages and would be first in the Queue if i knew you were writing one you would sell an ENORMOUS amount of books can you imagine EVERYBODY will want one you are the only one that can tell these stories. and the beauty of your book it would be all True. And oh so funny sometimes your stories give me a headache. And that's a good thing because i laugh so hard you make the stories so interesting you are a great story teller and i love the way you light up when you talk about him can see you really loved him Elvis was such a character . Thanks to you billy & Family. To the smith Family Hip Hip
Thankyou again for this video the stories are great isn't it lovely how through Elvis there's a lot of happy memories , your a beautiful family Elvis was lucky to have you in his life .God bless you all
John young fr canada , nice to hear the little every day things you guys did with Elvis ,from his family & not the “ BS “ tabloid stuff , us fans know Elvis was the king of rock & famous , but nice to hear he was a good person & helped a lot of people , keep on living Elvis , thanks.
To the Smith family thank you for all your wonderful Elvis stories to be with the man all the years everything you experienced and saw and for me to see that you are really regular people is just amazing to me that might sound funny to you but that's the way I feel for me you truly are an American treasure thank you
I am an Elvis fan and found your videos while surfing for Elvis stories. I wonder if Vernon talked about Elvis very much after he passed. I also want to thank you for the great stories about Elvis since I know that you all lived et Graceland. I would also like to thank Billy for being there for Elvis until the end. I have heard it said many times that Elvis called Billy and his wife to play racket ball. I know that it had to bother you being at Graceland without Elvis. Thanks for the wonderful stories because I know that you all always live Elvis.. God Bless You All.
What great memories! You've lived and done more than most people have done in 3 lifetimes! I see why Elvis liked having everybody around him, since he couldn't go out like regular people.
Thanks Billy and Danny. I just love all these Elvis stories. Makes me feel like I know him. I appreciate ya'll. Like I say you gotta love Elvis! Ya'll have a blessed weekend.
Thank you so much! Love hearing these stories about the people closest to Elvis. I know its been said many times about how Billy’s eyes light up to tell about the memories he has inside, & they do! Ya know, the WW2 era has gained the well coined phrase of being called, “The Greatest Generation”, & I will have to agree, after I have sat & listened to many many stories of that courageous generation. However, I do believe that, especially in the South, that the greatest passed on some of the heroics, love, laughter, & Love of Family to their sons & daughters, that still lingers on in their children. The “Yes Sirs, No ma’ams”, & the kindness, generosity that we saw in Elvis & most of his closest. I sure hope this makes sense, I see it in Billy & Jo. Watching them tell of silly private moments, just harmless fun antics. To me personally, it makes me reminisce of listening to my beloved Grandfather. I could have listened to him all day. Thank you all for sharing your lives with us. There are people out here just like me, enjoying every minute of it. You may never know what this truly means to us. I can only hope that some of the notes you get like this one, convince you. Sincerely, thank you for the smiles. Bless you all.
Billy.. I wish I could be there to hug you!! Your so cute... absolutely love your stories.. can't wait to to hear and see more!!❤❤❤ Danny.. thank you for channel MMK!!
I love hearing you Billy tell your stories and laughing at all the fun times you all had. There’s a sparkle in your eye and smile on your face. I loved meeting you and your family at EW this year and thanks again for talking with me about the books that once belonged to Elvis. Keep the videos coming and I hope to see y’all again! I always live Elvis ⚡️⚡️⚡️
