TISH HENLEY KIRK, Elvis's Private Nurse from '68-'77, invites us to her home to talk Elvis! 

Hello all! This was our first true in person interview and we are SO GRATEFUL we got to do it with Tish. Our sound might be a little low and you may hear a smoke alarm dying BUT please give us some grace :) We got to be with Tish at her house and it was everything! Hope you enjoy!!

I am now 61...I consider myself BLESSED to have seen Elvis in person LIVE in concert in 1976. I was 14 at that time...He gave me a scarf that is my absolute prized possession even today!! ❤

Tish was such a precious person to take care of Elvis like she did. God bless her.

So wonderful to meet Trish, so sweet her daughter and LisaMarie got to reconnect just before her passing.

I have loved ELVIS for 77 years!

I'm 61 years old, from Ontario Canada, was 15 when Elvis died...My friend called me and gave me the news and we both cried our hearts out...He was loved by all...I have never been to Graceland but is on my Bucket list...He was just so talented and his style of music was so unique and he truly loved his fans.😊

I also wanted to call attention to what Tish said about the eternal flame at the gravesite. I never knew anyone say that her and her husband had come up with the idea and designed it and that they helped to pay for it out of their love for Elvis! That is so very special! And a definite new fact that I had not known until now! Wonderful that she said “it was an eternal flame just like her love for Elvis would be eternal”, how wonderfully sweet and sentimental!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of the best interviews I’ve seen about Elvis!Thank You very Much

Thank you Tish for letting us know about the true Elvis. He was a human being just like everyone else. He was was a good person. ❤

As a fellow Nurse...God Bless you Tish and the respect you still show to Elvis to this day!!❤

Great interview ladies. I’m 65 and a lifelong Elvis fan. It’s great to see young people like you carrying the torch. I saw him New Year’s Eve 1976 and he did not disappoint. Loving Elvis Forever from Canada 🇨🇦

"Don't you take up for him!". LOL That was priceless! I've seen Tish interviewed in the past and I'm glad I watched this video. So many great stories she has to tell, but that yogurt story was great. I guess Elvis thought the weight was going to come right off no matter how many yogurts he ate. The other thing she said that sticks out in my mind was, "I've never met another one like him". Thanks for a great chat with Tish. I love that she didn't take any guff from him. I think Elvis needed someone like that in his life. I'm glad she came out of the Elvis closet. I could listen to her talk all day. Have a great day, ladies!

I’m 56 & lifelong Elvis fan. I never ever want them to open upstairs ever. It hurts to know people steal things from Graceland 😢

Really, really a nice visit with this kind gracious lady!!! It just speaks to how sweet, and loving Elvis was!!!

I CANNOT read or hear about Elvis without crying!! Thank goodness my mother understood and let me take a whole week off of school when Elvis died! I was inconsolable!!😢❤

Love this interview lovely to hear things we didn't know about Elvis so funny and sweet im 76and i hope i still here at 82 like tish bless you all and thank you ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏👑🎸🎶🎵🎤

Elvis was truly a Gift from God, plain and simple ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’m a little late to the party but let Tish know I purchased both of her books! You girls are living the dream for many of us. ❤

Elvis Presley is a legend He never be forgotten and beyond Thank you supporting Elvis Presley always Be the king of rock and roll 💖💖💖

All 3 of you are just priceless ❤

Had the pleasure of meeting her in Jan.2024. She is precious ❤️

Love, love, love this interview with "Tish and you amazing girls". This is, by far, the best interview that made me truly feel a connection to Elvis. I am truly touched beyond words!❤❤❤

You look great for 82 and thank you for the great memories you’re sharing with us of Elvis.

Beautiful interview, this is the part that no one ever hears about, but the fans always knew. God Bless Tish, and thank you girls for all you do. I am 80 and a fan since 1956.

I said this on Billy & Jo smiths channel , Elvis helped complete strangers like the wheelchairs he bought a couple of people , and not foe recognition, he just wanted to help , he did make millions, but there is people today that make hundreds of millions, and they wouldn’t give you a yodel if you were lost in the alps , he was a great man it sickens me how people twist stories around about him and they never even met him that’s way I only listen to stories that people like Trish , Billy & Jo and their son Danny , Linda Thompson , and a few others that really new him . there will never be an entertainer any where close to ELVIS .

She took care of Vernon too ❤my heart!!!!

This was such a Beautiful & Touching Interview With TISH - I fell in Love With Elvis As A Little Girl In The 70's - My favorite Elvis Movie #nostalgia Is "It Happened At The World's Fair" With Vicky Tiu As Sue-Lin I would sing and dance and Say "Elvis Sing To Me" LOLL So I was told - My Daddy was a HUGE Elvis Fan!!!! He had all of Elvis's Records and LP's / Albums I remember him buying "Moody Blue" and I was so Mesmerized that is WAS SO BLUE!!! Elvis music always going in our home Daddy would Jack up the volume!!! ( MY PARENTS SAW ELVIS IN 1975 SHREVEPORT, LA ) I Remember finding both My Parents Crying When Elvis Passed away - and then they told us kids and We all cried -- The Whole World was in SHOCK!! I was 10 .. It was on my Brothers 9th Birthday August 16, 1977 - We watched the Funeral and The News Announcement was played over and over - Still today I cry thinking of it - I can't hardly watch his Unchained Melody - When I went to see the "Elvis" Movie I was SO Shocked it Ended With My Elvis singing "Unchained Melody" I sat there through credit everyone leave just Bawling!!! Also It Opened Up with TEXARKANA 1955 SIGN - MY HOMETOWN ELVIS PERFORMED IN OUR HOMETOWN 7 TIMES AT OUR MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM 1954 - 1955 - I USE TO PLAY ON THAT STAGE WE WOULD HAVE A MAGIC SHOW EVERY YEAR THERE AND WE'D PLAY UP AND DOWN THE BLEECHERS AND RUN AND PLAY ON THAT STAGE - THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS ..

I was fortunate to have met Tish at Marlowes this past December and get an autographed copy of her book. We chatted for a few minutes and it was obvious the love she has for Elvis. He was very blessed to have her as his nurse and friend. I so wanted to get to spend more time visiting with her. This video is the answer to my wanting to hear her stories. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing interview with one of Elvis’s most devoted friends. She truly loved him.

I would love to hear her daughter Donna talk about her last visit with Lisa❤

What a wonderful interview. Dear Tish, thank you so much for your precious memories ❤❤❤

Tish he did give alot of good shows and 77 he still gave it all

So I watched it and when she started talking about Elvis feeling lonely that’s it I was gone, tears again girls bittersweet. This was one of the best interviews I think so far ❤ well done amazing TCB TLC x

Tish thanks for sharing your Elvis stories......❤ So blessed to be able To spend time with him and taking care of him .. I know he loved and had much respect for you ❤ God bless you.

Beautiful job ElvisGirls! Tish is right. You are so young but working hard to keep his memory alive. You love for him seems to run deep! I share for him that kind of love as so many do. If you think of it, Tish’s undying love along with the rest of us might collectively be the true eternal flame.🔥

I too feel blessed to have seen Elvis in concert 2 times. This was 1970. He had such a beautiful spirit. And that great voice. I’ll always love him and his music.

Awesome interview Girls, it was great hearing all the different stories Tish had with Elvis, Thank you Tish ❤️

I’m glad to see young people supporting Elvis and keeping his legacy alive. Keep up the good work. 48:59

I am SO TOUCHED by this interview. I have SO much memorabilia of Elvis. I HOPE I have instilled the LOVE of Elvis to my daughter enough that she will cherish MY Elvis for the rest of her life and then pass that love on to my grandchildren and so on!! ❤ God Bless you all!!

Tish, Is just a wonderful woman! Love her stories!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤!

Beautiful.... thank you for this priceless interview...precious memories of a beautiful soul. Rest in peace sweet man ❤

Great interview❤. Love the bird story lol because that same thing happened to me 😂. I saw JF Kennedy’s grave and it has an eternal flame. We were in DC on a tour to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. JFK’s grave was part of the tour. The guards at the tomb 24/7 was sad, sweet, all the feels 😢. Anyway, Elvis deserved the flame ❤

What a beautiful lady!! And ladies!! This was one of the most intriguing interviews I’ve seen!! Blessings to you all!!!

So glad I found this as I was surfing RU-vid on a hot summer day in Melbourne Australia, with nothing better to do than sit in airconditioned comfort! Wonderful interview, and thanks for the ebay links to Trish's books. I have the second one but didn't know there was another, so have ordered it. I enjoyed this interview so much, felt very tearful at times listening to Trish's anecdotes about having Elvis hanging around as 'a normal person like your brother'. I've always felt you could get a glimpse of the real man in most of his movies, the expressions on his face, his smile, and voice. He might have been playing a part, but the real personnae shone through sometimes, which is why we his fans felt like we knew the real man underneath, just a bit. When I saw him on stage and got his attention briefly by yelling "I love you Elvis" when he was on our side of the stage, when he looked at me and smiled, I felt like I'd been blessed, just for those brief seconds.🤩

Elvis girls it’s really nice that you talk to people who really new Elvis , too many people go on you tube and say stuff without proper research, they are only guessing, I believe the stuff from people that new Elvis , I don’t watch anything unless I know they knew him , you girls are young & not born when Elvis was here , I’m a huge fan of Elvis , I was here when he was alive , nobody said anything negative about him then beasuse he was here to defend himself , but you two are intelligent girls who talk to Elvis freinds , so that gives you the right to talk about Elvis because you have the truth . thank you 👍

Love this!❤🎶 One of the best interviews I've ever seen from the Elvis world! Great job ladies! So laid back and down-to-earth.❤ Tish Is such a sweet lady❤ Love her house so homey and down-to-earth. ❤🎶🙏 Can't wait to see more!❤🎶🙏

Such a great interview TEG!! Thank you thank you thank you! And thank you Tish for opening up your cozy home to all of us and sharing such personal stories of Elvis. What a man…the more I hear of him, the more I see God using him to take care of his people. The wheelchair story…something so small…but not really. How many people actually stop or notice the wheels are bare. It’s like he was always looking for an opportunity to help others. God put that desire in him. It still breaks my heart though that he felt like he couldn’t find a woman and was lonely. 😢I love that Tish was so honest with her answer lol “the guys pimping for him” 😂 And I love how she took such good care of him. Bless them both 😢

Omg 😢I really enjoyed this episode. She is such a sweetheart. Well you all are. It felt like she was an old friend that I could listen to for hours. ❤thank you girls and Tish for keeping our boy alive.

Tish is beautiful!!

So wonderful! Tish thank you so much for deciding “to come out of the Elvis closet” and share your heartfelt stories with the Elvis fans! I am so grateful to have been able to actually hear you speak about Elvis as a patient, man, and friend! Thank you Elvis girls for making this broadcast with Tish! Even though I have been a fan of of Elvis for 40+ years I feel somehow like this interview helped to make me feel closer to Elvis the man! Very well done, be proud of yourselves!

I live in Australia and never got to see Elvis perform live but I do have the albums and movies and documentaries to treasure. Thank you Tish for everything you did for Elvis, he missed the care and closeness of a mother's love and it's clear in your way you were able to give that to him which is why I'm certain he loved you a great deal. Thanks to Those Elvis Girls for this wonderful video. I am 67 years old and will forever be an Elvis fan and I am now a subscriber to Those Elvis Girls.

Thank you Elvis Girls and Tish for this great video! Love all the people who knew Elvis directly and there isn’t many of them still with us! Bless you all! So happy to hear these stories! TCB⚡️

Elvis todos los que ltuvieron el privilegio de conocerle dicen lo mismo que era una buena persona lo amamos y tengo 57 años vivirá por siempre señora agradecida de llevar la verdad sobre el artista más grande de todos los tiempos❤

Bless her…we will never see the likes of him again.

Great interview! Thoughtful questions. I love Tish! She’s so down to earth. I watch all y’all’s videos. Keep up the good work, girls!❤️

HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN OURS HEARTS!!!!!! AN EXCEPTIONAL HUMAN BEING!!!!! AND THE GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME !!!!!!!!

Blessings to all of you!!!❤️🙏🌹

Love hearing tish stories about elvis i woulld of love to had meet and had a great conversation with him

Girls this is greater than outstanding. Ive been an elvis fan since 1960. Miss tish n just precious Thank you guys so much i really enjoyed this so much A lot of us fans have felt elvis's presence at Graceland. Ive been twice n both times it felt like he was gonna walk in the room at any second.

Its so sad that there are so few people left that knew him personally and are able to share their memories of this wonderful man. They are the precious ones that keep his memory, talent, music, and love alive for all of us to treasure.. He was truly a blessing to all of us, so much of his story is about a phenomenal talent but even more so a beautiful loving humble soul. I feel like he was blessed in so many way but his fame also took so much of his life away from him. His life was so limited and secluded and that is very sad to imagine how lonely that must have been for him at times. We lost him way too soon and I hope his memory lives on forever. RIP Elvis, you deserve that.

Thank you tish your a beautiful woman God Bless You❤

What a wonderful interview! Nothing fake ALL TRUE! He was a great human being and a great talent! I loved this interview!

Thank you ladies. I so wish we could see/have an interview with Ms. Tish, Billy, Jo and Linda all together; much like the Guys did. Better yet, a movie with their views. We could crowd fund it. Look at Dallas Jenkins with The Chosen. I am so interested in what the Linda, Jo Tish daily life was like. Tish and Jo raising children in the 70's at Graceland was like. Elvis' Christian influence on everyone in a daily interaction.

WOW this just gave me a vivid flashback to a forgotten memory of my youth. My Dad was into all new technology. We had one of the first Polaroid Cameras (was hard to find that instant film early on!). Color TV YAY (That he waited a little bit on, because they were insanely big & expensive at 1st, plus they had me as a remote as a kid lol. But that Sony color TV went right by my bed!). He did get one of the early microwaves. And yes, they were MASSIVE!!! So the first night Dad & I made an egg custard (my Mom was convinced it would poison real food....she wasn't far off lolol). And just like Tish said, we both stood there watching it the entire time it cooked!!! I hadn't thought of that in decades!!! Great interview about Elvis AND for jogging my memories!

Just bought both books from the pawn shop! I have SO many books on Elvis and I love them all!❤

It’s sad that Billy being a cousin and like a brother is hardly ever mentioned in all the movies about Elvis’s life.

Wonderful interview with Tish. She really was blessed to have known the man Elvis and not just the superstar! Thank you "girls" for this lovely video!

That was a great interview! Well done Elvis girls and thank you to Tish.😊

This interview was so powerful. Tish has so much to say. I hope you guys interview her again one day.♥️

Thank you for this interview I think it is so refreshing to get someone who knew him On such a different personal level. Someone who loved and respected him. I thank you .

What a beautiful interview, with a beautiful lady, so thankful to Mrs. Kirk for all of her stories about Elvis. I could listen to her all day 🙂❤️ I would also like to thank her for taking such good care of Elvis, and for being a wonderful friend to him and his family, we’re truly blessed that she’s still here and able to talk about who Elvis was as a person. ❤️ I would like to order her book directly from her if it’s possible, thank you so much. I also wanted to let you know that my son and 10 year old granddaughter love Elvis very much, I raised my son on Elvis music, and he’s passing it on to his kids, so you see, Elvis will NEVER be forgotten! God bless you all 🙂💕💕⚡️⚡️

Bravo girls… amazing you manage to get these rare interviews with people who actually knew him so well. I don’t see that on any other channel. Love it and thank you ! 🙏

Great video! I met Tish a few years ago and she was extremely nice and generous with her time as she told a few stories and shared some of her opinions about various things Elvis with me in a one-on-one conversation. There was an interesting discussion about Elvis's finances in this video. Lots of fans feel Elvis did not pay enough attention to his finances or that Elvis spent irresponsibly or that Vernon handled Elvis's money poorly. Are these statements true about Elvis? When Elvis passed away, he had more than $1.1 million is cash. Once all the bills were paid, his estate was valued at $5 million dollars, which is an extraordinary amount for a man who we can all agree never purposely saved a dime. When you think about it, even after spending untold millions, Elvis had more wealth at the end of his life than most of us will earn, even with nearly 50 years of inflation artificially inflating our numbers, in our lifetimes. Elvis did have cash flow problems especially in the 1970's, but that is a temporary problem we all experience which never meant Elvis was broke. Vernon, a man who never had a savings account before Elvis hit it big, managed to amass and protect Elvis's $5 million in assets through 20+ years of hard work keeping the books for Elvis. Some people criticize the amount of money Elvis left Lisa Marie. Elvis left Lisa two assets of far greater value than $5 million, Vernon and Priscilla, whose hard work resulted in Lisa inheriting $125 million at age 25. Before Elvis employed the Colonel, Elvis was broke, by which I mean he had a little cash in his pocket enabling him to splurge on clothes and gifts and enough to pay the bills, but he had nothing saved as Elvis was unable to collect funds owed to him including $5,000 from Sam Phillips. Once the Colonel was involved, Elvis collected all his big payments up front and weekly payroll from RCA. Over the next 20 years, Elvis, assisted by the work of Colonel and Vernon, never had less than $1 million in his checking account and always had a sizable savings account. Did Elvis need to spend more of his personal time on his finances? No, Elvis still had plenty to spend on the day of his passing. Did Elvis spend irresponsibly? No, Elvis never ran out of money and no one in his family ever suffered due to his spending. Did Vernon handle Elvis's money poorly? No, in fact, Vernon saved Graceland after Elvis was gone purely through his own decisions and actions including moving Elvis and Gladys to Graceland, which is the keystone to the success of Graceland as a global destination today.

Hi all this was a amazing interview with tish what a amazing lady I can totally see why elvis really like her she is one special lady and the stories that she tells are so good heard different things which I hadn’t heard before so well done

Thank you very much for this lovely interview. ❤ I will very get the books! Just to hear more stories on Elvis his generosity. That they were getting a wheelchair for someone in the street. So good. ❤

I love it great house . Lovely private garden 🏡🏡❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am thoroughly enjoying this interview. Everything I hear makes me feel for once I’m hearing the absolute truth of Elvis ‘ life and what kind of a man he truly was. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Girls just watched the interview,Loved every single second of it!!!! You's always make me feel like i'm in the room with yous 😁 As Tish say "Keep On Keeping On Elvis" ⚡TEG⚡

Love this ladies - Well done

Tish is such a sweetheart! I met her in Memphis and we later met for lunch. She has a 2nd home in my area. She has been kind enough to bring items I have bought. I definitely need her second book. Great interview!!

I was only 1 when Elvis passed..I listen to his music daily, watch videos of him daily. Watching this interview I felt chills & cried. This was such a touching video. Ty so much ladies esp Ms.Tish

Sooo cool....now I want those books!

Can not wait to watch this, saving it for this evening with a cup of tea ! I have just finished Donna Lewis book Hurry home Elvis and if you could get her for an interview I’d love it! Similar to Sandi gate girl turned friend, I also loved Sue Weigerts book Elvis for the good times another devoted gate girl ! ❤

Oh bless her heart!!!!!! I love her southern voice! ❤❤❤

This was one of the best interviews I have ever heard about Elvis! She sounds like lovely lady God Bless her! I plan to get her books! Also this is my first video of yours! Also I thought it was just me but since I've seen the Elvis movie that's why I became a fan and also I feel like he's my spirit guide. Since the movie I also felt a closeness like his spirit is around and I also get signs from him a lot. And I also noticed that throughout my life there was a lot of things that pointed back to him that I never realized. My grandfather was also a huge Elvis fan!

Good interview. Two questions, how did Tish work all day at the clinic, take care of Elvis, her 2 girls and rest? Who took care of Elvis when she worked?

Loved the interview, what a lovely lady, all came genuinely from her heart ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a great interview, and what a truly lovely lady ! I can see❤ why Elvis loved Tish 🥰🥰🥰

Thankyou you two asked some great questions! What a treat! ⚡️TCB⚡️

Wonderful interview. You girls are amazing. I love hearing stories from those who knew Elvis personally. Seems like Tish and Elvis really had a bond. They were blessed to have each other. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Been a fan 67years, Will always love Elvis❤️👑❤️👑❤️👑

What a great interview, thank you for letting them speak! You didn’t have to work for Elvis to know that the book and his last girlfriend was causing him grief in his final days if you follow Elvis but Tish that just verified that. I take up for E because he’s been my superhero since I was a child. ;)

Gr8 storys thanks for post 😎👍

Awesome interview about Elvis ❤❤

Amazing interview. Loved the stories from Trish. A Faithfully friend, companion, and nurse. . Thank you xxx

This has to be one of the most refreshing honest interviews. These girls know how to do an interview without bashing people who were close to Elvis especially his wife and daughter. Enjoyed Trish’s memories. She was very respectful and honest.

. . ✨ eternal thanks to the remarkable Tish Henley 🌺for being a straight shooter who took no guff from anyone, not then and as now . .who recollects in candid detail and lucid memories of the man who suffered nothing while under her expert care . . .we can see how EP was truly fond of her and it shows how she was truly fond of him too by the way we all have to lean in just a little closer to hear her recount special (personal) times. .⚡ . . 🍃 my condolences to Tish for the losses in her life . .🕊

Sweet interview,such a wonderful lady,thank you.

Thank you girls so very much for interviewing this wonderful and engaging young lady - I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this and it is so very nice to see the love for Elvis continue on as it should.

I loved this interview. So many great memories ♥️

Love these firsthand accounts from people who were ACTUALLY there. It humanizes him. Behind the walls of his home he was just like the rest of us. That story about Lisa "teaching" him piano is soooo cute. The confirmation of things! I just love it to all the haters who actually try to dismiss Billy's relationship with Elvis. I've seen it with my own eyes in comments sections. It just makes me sick.
