Welcome back to EFM: Elvis Fans Matter! Today, Billy and Jo discuss a personal conversation with Elvis. Thanks for joining and remember, Elvis Fans Matter... ALWAYS!!!
I’ve always thought you both were so lucky to be with Elvis but tonight I realized that Elvis was lucky to have you and be able to have private conversations and trust in you!
Billy and Jo Smith are among the best people I’ve ever had the honor to know. They are essential and priceless assets to this world. May god bless them always
@@LindaD68 Hi Linda. Hope you’re well. I believe you completely about the Smith family. All are sincere, lovely people and have a great sense of humor.
He was always especially close to Billy and Jo in my opinion. He grew up with Billy. When Billy married Jo he found out that Jo could be trusted like his own sister. So he spent time with y’all cause he loved y’all so much and wanted to be with those he loved and trusted.
If Gladys could have lived throughout Elvis’s career, do u Billy & Jo think with his Mother’s Guidance, would Elvis had of had all the Women that he had and do U think he would have had all the pills and lead his life the way he did? Or do U think he would have had a Wife and Family as most people do. I love u for all the things u do for us. God Bless U and Yr Family.❤
It sounds like he didn’t like to be alone but yet didn’t want to give up his lifestyle. He married his music/fans . We are all thrilled you keep his memories alive. Happy Holidays
It is sweet. I’m Very happy thry are happy after all these years. I lost my husband to cancer a few yrs ago. We were together all the times we could be. Except for work our happiness came from being together. We loved spending time together snd with our family.
I feel the honesty and your love for Elvis in every single word Billy said here. Elvis had a special relationship with this dear couple. Thanks for sharing ❤this.
This is what makes EFM channel so great!! Just telling personal stories the way they simply happen without making them sound convoluted like other channels!! thank you so much for sharing. peace
Billy and Jo and Danielle I really appreciate you all. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful experiences with Elvis. You all take care and be safe. 😊
Billy and Jo 'you are' the historical record, the more of these stories you tell the more will be remembered yet another 50 years from now so please keep telling them and as often as you can. Personally I love to hear more about the little and big things Elvis did and kindness for people, for instance Billy I loved the story you told about the man with the broken down pick-up truck that was loaded with wood that Elvis tried to push start with his limo before buying the man a new truck, those kind of stories no one would ever have known about if it wasn't for you both. Godspeed to both of you.
I agree! I think his childhood and family stories are really interesting. I always wondered how they did it looking in todays world lol! Take care everyone.
@@angelamelton4747Trump is a very perverse character who cheated a disabled family member out of his rightful inheritance. Elvis and Trump are not in the same universe.
I don't think Elvis would ever change - he was so unique that he needed to be shared with the world and not tied to just one woman even if he did deserve to have a "normal" life if he so chose.
Billy & Jo, I can't tell you how meaningful it was to hear this from you guys. You really put alot of questions in perspective with this video. Thank you so much for sharing such a personal private memory. I know we fans can ask alot from you guys, but we respect your loyalty to him. God Bless you both, you are such a blessing to us.
So Glad we have you and your wife Jo to tell us the REAL stories of Elvis. You two were the closest one's to Elvis. Thanks for the stories and keeping his memories alive. From North West Indiana
Thank you for the honesty. Sharing your precious memories. I just know in my heart Elvis had extra love for you Billy because you were the link to his Mother. Love you guys Have a very blessed week. Oh , Jo your hair looks fabulous 😊 -Ruby E
Thank y’all. I love Elvis and just knowing y’all sat on his bed in a circle and talked makes me want to hug y’all. He will always have his place in my heart. First heard Thsts alright mama then I saw a picture of him and I was in love. I was 10. Thanks for these stories.
We are so lucky to hear your first-hand experiences! These are important historical stories that you lived! How awesome - we love listening to you both❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So nice to hear about personal likes and dislikes Elvis had. Makes him feel so real to all his fans. We are so used to seeing and hearing about Elvis and the Colonel and his professional life which makes Elvis seem untouchable and unreachable to anybody outside of his close family circle. We all would have loved to have known Elvis as a warm, loving Southern boy and gentleman as he matured. These stories make Elvis real, and not a dream come true because of his amazing God given, unbelievable, good looks and unmatched extraordinary talent. Thanks again for sharing family memories of the forever king of rock and roll and of the hearts of his faithful fans❣👍
Elvis was never faithful to anyone. He was faithful and truthful to himself. Yeah. I think what Billy and Jo says about him never being faithful to women is true. Elvis did have only child syndrome. I can say that cause I have a only child. I lost my first baby snd when I had another I was worried all the time.
What a heart warming and sentimental memory. ☺️. Thank you for this beautiful private conversation you shared. We respect and honor your choice to keep other conversations private! Such honorable and special people you two are! Love to you both! 🥰 ❤️❤️. Always TCB ⚡️🕺🏻👑
He was probably like most single children. Whole world revolves around an only child. I have loved Elvis my whole life, but recognize he was a human being. One with extraordinary accomplishments and unmatched charisma , but human with warts and all!
You are also very down to earth and remind me of my own family when most of them were alive and I when i was growing up and younger. Those were really good days and times and lol, I thought growing up was hard. It isn't easy but we try to learn and grow in faith. Life is not an easy thing for most regardless of who we are.
I hope you guys are doing well! I know some things might be hard to talk about. Your family did a lot of great things for our family and others. I constantly think of passed family when watching these. I hope you guys have a blessed week!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your personal conversation with Elvis. You were truly blessed to know the person he was and how much he meant to you.
Billy...You & Jo were always my favorite original Memphis Mafia members and still are my favorites to this day...I'm 51 yrs old and Elvis was always my idol ever since I was a little boy...Thank you for being with my idol from day 1 all the way up until the end...
Hello to all the Smith family, Thank you Mr. Billy, Mrs. Jo and Miss Danielle, this was such a great video! I always love to hear what you have to say. Elvis touched so many with his music and brought so much happiness to all his loving fans. Thank you for keeping his memory alive with EFM. ❤ Grace from Canada
Thanks for opening up to us about how elvis really was feeling about him and priscilla .. and about how he felt about ginger... love hearing these stories we get to know a little bit more about elvis and the kind of person he was and how he was feeling... glad to see yall back doing these videos again .yall take care and have a blessed week
Good to see & hear you. Todays vlog was straight to the point - Elvis wasn’t the marrying kind. 👍🏼. I’m glad Billy & Jo were/are the marrying kind. I enjoy you both .
It’s too bad Elvis was forced to marry. He knew he wasn’t planning to marry, I heard him say it in an interview when he was 27-28, and Priscilla was living at Graceland. But then, Priscilla, her parents, and the Colonel forced it. As the Smiths said, he loved ALL women and was not the marrying kind as he told them. His career came FIRST.
Beautiful endearing stories you two are such treasures to the fans and to Elvis. I really believe besides his beloved mother, the biggest love of his life were the fans around the world.The love he gave out was really heartfelt and the same with the fans giving it back to him Thank you for all you do sending Best wishes to your your lovely family🌹
Billy & Jo you really are soul to the earth folks, thank god Elvis had True ñ Loyal family around him.. Thank~u for all the insight🙏🏼 Bless u ñ your family ~ 👑 💫⚡💫💖
Not to break Elvis' trust or privacy but these sort of conversations are so important to us fans and we'd hate for them to be lost. God bless for keeping this up. X
Thank you both for your memories of Elvis.. He was human like the rest of us. You both have been his family an best friends. That says alot. I enjoy you both an again thank you❤️❤️
So glad u two were n Elvis’s life. I am glad he had at least 1 child to carry on his legacy and grandchildren too. I love ur alls videos thank you so much.
Great stories! I love hearing about your interactions with Elvis. He is the best entertainer ever! I have a question for you guys. Did he ever meet Patsy Cline or did he ever comment on her singing? I think Patsy and Elvis recording together would have been phenomenal! They are my favorite singers ever! Take care you two! Love your channel so much!
Joe white, I too would have loved to hear Elvis and Patsy do a duet together. With their voices it would have been awesome. I was watching a Loretta Lynn interview and she said that Elvis called her and they were talking about singing together but they didn't get to due to his unexpected passing. That would have been great to hearing the King of rock and roll and the Queen of country music sing together.
This video is extra special to me because of your personal conversations with Elvis and showing how he truly felt about things. Thank y’all so much for sharing to his fans❤
This is my very favorite Elvis source of info! I look forward to each video and can't wait for the next notification. Thanks Jo & Billy for answering questions as honest as you both do! Nobody can possibly give answers that are real , true, and portray Elvis as another normal human instead of a sugar coating for the sake of money.
Hi billy and joe what an amazing story 😊just love ❤️ love your stories keep them coming ❤only you know the truth that’s why I love listening to your stories 😊love Lorraine uk 🇬🇧 I seen more orbs again 😮think Elvis is with you 😊
I'm just so thankful for you Billy -Jo (& Danielle) that you bring these wonderful memories to us, the things that we wouldn't ordinarily know because I have loved Elvis ever since I was 9 or 10 years old and I'm now in my early '60s and I've always wanted to know the real Elvis the man and you bring that to the fans so thank you. ♥️ You all
Thank you Billy and Jo! I knew in my heart everything you talked about! Elvis had love for every woman he was with. You can do that without it being a lasting love. Elvis was Not meant to be married,but he had a need for a woman's companionship. All of the relationships he had with women weren't sexual, he liked intelligent conversations and I would guess the comfort from cuddling as well. He wasn't a playboy that didn't care about the women he was with. He treated them all like queens while he was with them I know it's true from the videos I've seen and articles I've read from several of the women that had been with him! Elvis was a very complicated man, that you just can't put into any category. So happy to see y'all looking healthy, and happy you're back. You've been missed! Danielle please take care of yourself and don't overdo or it'll drag on and you immune system will suffer. Love every one of you!
Elvis loved women, and we all loved him. I don't think he could be faithful to just one. I find it interesting that he got so upset once Priscilla started cheating when he cheated all the time. Don't get me wrong, I still love the man, but I couldn't have lived in his world as his wife. I prefer to love him from afar. I find you two to be a real joy! God bless you both!!
Thanks Jo and Billy for sharing that special story about Elvis 💜 very much appreciated! Love EFM 👍 thanks Danielle as well sending you all love 💙💙🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘
I love your stories about y’all and Elvis and your lives together. I hope one day when I come to Memphis I can come and visit with y’all. You are my kinda folks. Love you because you are so down to earth. No sophistication or facades. Billy, thank you so much for your wonderful memories and stories of your cousin. I am from a very large family and my cousins and I remain close to this day, 72 years later. If Elvis was still with us I know he would still be close to his FAVORITE cousin and his wife. Just ole time love. Family love and ties. So GREAT!!
I always enjoy you guys talking about the good ol times and your take on what happened then. I’ll be in Tennessee this week and maybe god willing I run across one of you. If not i pray for you all for all you have done. May god bless you all.
Love you telling private things about elvis that you would know thanks Billy and jo I do not think elvis was ready to get married the only thing came out if it was Lisa you could tell he loved her
Elvis is an historic figure who has A major impact on American society. For people who were close to him to reveal the real man is important for posterity. Thanks Jo and billy.
You're both so lovely,genuine people I do hope one day I get to meet y'all,take care Smith Family..please keep your stories, memories & love of Elvis keep coming as it really brightens up my evening listening to all the antics y'all shared with one another.....THANK YOU!🙏❤️🇬🇧
I have been an Elvis fan for many years, but have always thought he should never of married because he enjoyed the company of other women to much. Thanks Billy and Jo it was very informative. X
Elvis was lucky to have Famliy around him 💝 some one he trusted to talk about private things, and to no that it wouldn't go my further 😙💚 love to you All xx
