They are very loyal to Elvis. I’m so glad. They’ve been talked into writing a book finally. Cause of their age they finally decided to write one. I promise they will keep the deep secrets. Billy has a hard time at times. But Jo gives him a look. Lol and he closes up again. Jo has a deep respect for Elvis and really loves Linda Thompson. They spent lots of time with linda and Elvis.
Hello from Canada, love listening to you talk about Elvis.When I was 15 I heard him sing the song he had recorded for his mother and knew he was going to be a star. I was in shock when he passed,we lost a beautiful and generous soul, and he was one good looking dude!! Blessings to you all.
The earliest memories I have of Elvis music was when my father played it while driving his car. I was five years old and stretched out on the back seat. This was in 1980 and I was already a fan and has been since. I often sing his songs by myself for myself, and I love watching the documentaries about him. My father was an Englishman and he told me about how people in England flocked around the radio when a new Elvis song was released when he was young. Everything stopped meanwhile, he said. When my kids are ready to listen I will tell them about Elvis and he will never be forgotten. Elvis was not my generation but you can not even say that. I think he and his music is timeless. God bless his family Love from Anna in Sweden
I was born august 16th 1990 13 years after... but Elvis always lives on in us. My mom was a huge elvis fan! I love him and have introduced the next generation to him! Cant wait to visit Graceland! so he will live on in us always!!! -Brooke-
It’s easy to see you guys loved Elvis and how much he impacted your lives , what a life you all have had .. you guys are loving , humble and honest . That comes through real clear . Thanks for reliving your lives with us . You all have done Elvis proud ❤️
Darlene I totally agree with you I watched people's body language also and that does tell a lot so these people are great they are so sweet just plain old Hillbillies down to earth and that's why we love them so but Elvis one time said about the image in about the man and I'm going to leave it at that TCB
Darlene if you know body language watch Jo when Billy starts to answer some things. She says hush with her eyes. I studied body language too. I love it.
Billy , I lived next door to the Ranch in 67-69 and used to watch yall ride horses out there. Manns Trailer Park at Hwy 301 & Nail Road. :) In 1980-83 I served 3 years in the same Army unit in Friedberg That Elvis was in. 1/ 32 Armor 3rd Armored Division.............. I always wished I had a chance to try to meet Elvis and try to talk to him about his and my times at that Army Kaserne, and we BOTH lived in Bad Nauhiem, but he passed in 77 before I was even over there :( Were you ever in Germany during his Army days Billy? Thanks Yall...TCB!!!!
What a wonderful family. So much love and unity. Danny is such a gentleman with his arm around his mom. So impressive. I must say thank you for everything
I'm so glad that Elvis had y'all around him all the time. I know it gave him great comfort to know he had someone around him that loved him unconditionally and that he could always count on. God Bless you all!
I am glad you were part of his family. Too many famous people don't have people that love them and not the fame and fortune Having people with him that he knew loved him made his life happier. I have photos of Elvis playing around with Billy when he was still a kid. You could tell he really loved his young cousin . God Bless Billy and the Smith family..
Once again I just have to say it, We love you guys! Thank you for sharing your Elvis memories with us. We miss him so much and it’s just wonderful having you all reminisce with us. I hope you “Always live Elvis” with us. . MERRY CHRISTMAS ELVIS FAMILY. YOU ARE LOVED!
One of the reasons his room was made the way it was in part was for privacy and sound proof. He was very private and his bedroom was like a sanctuary to him. And also to protect Lisa.
If anyone wants to see what Elvis's upstairs look like. The movie, This Is Elvis shows the upstairs. This was the only real actual footage ever taken. I loved the black padded leather ceilings. He also had a 9-foot custom-made king size bed.
@@presleygirI just Google it the movie is called this is elvis made 1981 in the first scenes they show elvis at the end of his life played by Johnny harra who looked a lot like elvis before he died it's a good movie about elvis
Good Morning!! This is your friend Craig Natt up in Michigan(Retired Police and Disabled Vet)....Thank you so much for using and answering my question!! I will be sending many more, and don’t forget when I come down this year, beer and whiskey on me!! Have a great Christmas, may God bless y’all!
I love these stories and hearing y'all talk about Elvis. Thanks for doing this and keeping us all who love him smiling and keeping his memory alive. Gos bless 🙏
People talk about things they have no idea about. It's sad. Real People-Real Knowledge-Real Experiences. That's what matters. Not judgment and make believe. MMK is Real. And what you guys share with us is much appreciated. Thank you!
Marvelous, amazing as always... all the memories are more heart felt and validated coming from family members somehow. Amen and blessings to you all “the Smith” family, it’s a continued pleasure to hear you all retell the past...🙏👍 Fantastic as Always😁
I remember being like 5 years old and would sit in front of the TV watching Elvis! He seemed so special like a big brother! I'm so glad that yall were his family! What loved you all shared
I love how much you guys lived him. Elvis, was one of kind, so thankful that you share your memories with us. Wish i could of seen him with my mom. Because she truly loved him. Merry Christmas 2023
Sending love from the desert southwest. Love the videos keep them coming. I first became a fan of Elvis back in 1982. I was only 7 and I heard burning love playing. I've been hooked ever since. It was also sad for me because I didn't know Elvis had passed on. Always living Elvis. ✌
Hi everybody goodmorning Thank you for sharing your thoughts and stories with us Your right Billy you are the one who really knows ,you where with him your whole life.Miss Jo so good to see you and hope your mom is doing better Hey Danny Thank you too ya all are great people love ya all
Mrs. Billy Smith is very beautiful. Love this family and all what they have to say. Without this fine family, we would never know anything about Elvis' private life.
Just wondering if there’s any other members of Elvis’s family members that would also sit with you people and also talk about Elvis 🕺? But I do really love ❤️ the three of you. Most of the times I watch your videos and laugh 😂 my butt off 🤗 Right now I’m going through my second time with Cancer it came back and Chemo...your videos keep me going and I have something to look forward to, thank you 🙏 Diane
Well said Jo about Elvis being alive like you said it must be hurtful for his family, Elvis Aron Presley was a beautiful being inside and out a true fan who loves Elvis would know that he would not have faked his death he loved his family and his fans to much ,love to you and your family. God bless you all
@@AKKTerry Elvis had a conversation with his Cousin Billy Smith & Vernon Billy Smith said...One day in late 1966 I was talking to Elvis about religion and he bought up the name Aaron I said That's something I've always wondered Elvis How come you spell Aaron with one A when it's two A's in the Bible? but he always referred to it as a Hebrew name and how Aaron was the brother of Moses And he said Well back when I was growing up a lot of people around Tupelo didn't spell right Elvis looked over at Vernon and said As a matter of fact Daddy from now on I want my name written with two A's Especially on legal Documents That's why it has two A's on the Gravestone. Vernon filed a petition to get it changed signed by Vernon Presley Vernon was simply honouring Elvis wish People like Gail brewer Georgio who like to push the "Still Alive Theory" will and has used this as a reason to keep the rumour he is alive going.! in her research one would think that she will have noticed its NOT spelt wrong its as billy said. Elvis wanted it changing in 1966. And that spelling with two A's was also on the Divorce papers in 1973! which proved its not spelt wrong at all. Elvis IS buried in Graceland meditation Garden with the correct spelling on the Headstone. proving Billys story Truthful. not that i ever doubted him but i did her trying to prove something she couldn't. Not many people know the full story and about the conversation between billy Vernon and Elvis , they know it was 1A then it was 2 a's on the grave so go along with the rumour it proves him alive and don't stop to learn anymore like its on the divorce paper too so that proves he is dead and Billys story is true Elvis wanted it changed
Gassbagger woods Toward the end of his life, Elvis sought to change the spelling of his middle name to the traditional and biblical Aaron. In the process he learned that official state records had inexplicably listed it as Aaron, and not Aron as on his original birth records. Knowing Elvis' plans for his middle name, Aaron is the spelling his father chose for Elvis' tombstone, and it's the spelling his estate has designated as the official spelling when the middle name is used today. In Memphis, Elvis was enrolled in the eighth grade at Humes High School, as Elvis Aaron Presley.
Elvis had strong faith he knew it was a sin to take your life think about it now this is well documented and many know it by heart He wore 3 chains, Christian Crucifix (Cross) Jewish Star and the Egyptian Ankh. getting into heaven was so important to him Elvis himself said "he didn't want to miss out on heaven on a technicality" prayed religiously before EVERY show does that sound like someone who would take his life? for him to contemplate that would involve things important to him.1] he would never get into heaven and be back with his mother whom he dearly loved .2] his daughter he could never would never have walked away from her. 3]wanted Priscilla back he always lived in the hope she would come back 4] His Music he lived to sing. he lived for his fans. He loved being Elvis Presley. So NO i think he would never have done that. Which i think puts paid to the theory's he did .

The more I watch these videos I feel like if I were to ever meet you you would be my extended family. Know that you are in my heart and maybe one day I'll be brave enough to introduce myself to you guys. There's something so special about watching the way that you interact with one another you're very lucky to have each other and your wonderful Sons. all of you are so humble and easy going it's just a warming feeling that I have. I live alone and I don't have much contact with people and some of the people around I don't seem to have a feeling of connection like that of a kindred spirit which I feel when I watch you guys now why I loved Elvis and we all love you please continue with the video shows I'm working on a creative Endeavor and I would like to share with you and it does have to do with Elvis but I don't know quite how to launch it. This creative Endeavor which I need to learn how to go about publishing it seems to serve as a therapeutic activity for me in my grieving for the love of my life of 20 years it seems to lighten up the burden of my loneliness. This creative activity engages me and I find it to be very therapeutic and I just want to thank you for being there on a daily basis when I tap in and listen to my pretend family Yours Truly from Tustin California and if I am unable to publish it for whatever the reason it doesn't matter it has helped grieving process around . I hope I can finish it I need some confidence and I will have to find a mentor to help me along these lines but the eminent thing here to let you know that I appreciate the Legacy of Elvis and you the family the warmth of the Presley family it means the world to me . I can see the intelligence along with your heart and Souls the legacy of your family Elvis and your family
Billy, Jo & Danny..thank you all so very much for answering my question about Elvis meeting Bewitched beauty Elizabeth Montgomery..as a kid I always had a crush on her & I heard that Elvis also fancied her abit too, or I thought I heard that he did? You all seem so very down to earth & genuine I hope some day I can meet you all...I also hope there's a time when you guys could visit maritime Nova Scotia and do a our talk thing or something...I'd love to go to that....I love you guys can answer somw questions about Elvis..for me, as a fan...I love that and it's a blessing to hear you guy's talk about him....Another question I have is did Elvis ever meet up with Don Rickles & if so, have any funny stories on that? God Bless...and remember the reason why Angels can fly is because they carry themselves ever so lightly
Hello folks, from canada! 🙋🌲 Billy looking good in a black cowboy hat & Jo looking marvelous! Video today was great & heard Billy much more, tks. Much love to you all! 💕
Here's a question, Danny Thomas was the pilot who flew Elvis to his wedding in Palm Spring, a week later they became neighbors on HillCrest Drive when Elvis bought the house there. I know the two became acquainted when Elvis donated the USS Potomac to St. Jude's hospital but I wondered if Billy remembers Danny frequently visiting him in L.A.?
I think Elvis wanted to be Captain Marvel and I think that's where he got his whole image from and also I heard Captain Marvel faked his death but I never read it so I don't know can't say for sure but I know Elvis was unique phenomenal and everybody loved him TCB
That man with the cowboy hat is really funny 🤣 I would love to sit with these 3 beautiful people who knew Elvis the best, I would love to hear their amazing stories of Elvis.
Love you Smith Family! Jo, beautiful! Miss Joey! Always wondered about Elvis’ bedroom, out of respect for Elvis, it should be kept private! Thanks again for great ELVIS stories!!! God Bless you Guys! ELVIS IS IN HEAVEN NOW!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Judy Hartman
What ever Billy say is gospel with me. And Mr. Billy you dont have to look like Elvis. We would miss your 👀 eyes. Oh yeah that hat is nice. And Jo is always gorgeous. And i love Danny and Joey. Keep up the good work.
Just love your family so much! I just wanted to thank you all again for all the wonderful memories of Elvis and your family. I hope you all do the meat and greet you mentioned in one of your videos. Would be such a honor to meet you all. Merry Christmas!
❤thank you Smith family for all your precious memories of the one and only Elvis! You are so real and you have lived your life with this precious man. He was so loved by so many! Please keep the stories coming ! Love to you all!
I love you all so much ❤️. My dad once went to Graceland with Gene Mabe. Elvis wasn't there but Mr. Vernon told my dad to come on back anytime. My dad never did. He wasn't one to push his way in. Daddy was so much like you Mr. Billy. Lisa and I are 2 years apart. Almost. 😪
I would like to say thank you all for sharing Elvis's life and yr life with Elvis. I know you folks do not want to hurt anyones feelings when they ask stupid questions. So please allow me, for anyone to ask if Elvis is alive is absurd and a hurtful question so please stop asking these awesome people absurd questions. My dad always said there is no such thing as a stupid question. Well I think he was wrong to ask if Elvis is alive is a stupid question. God bless you all.
I watched this a few times ,and the truthfulness of you all shows through really if I was gonna believe anyone its ya all I really am missing you all I'm really hoping to see more of your videos and momma and your daddy too I sure hope all is well with ya all and life is treating you good love ya all thanks for all you do bringing us the wonderful memories you have😀👍❤😘
Hahaha, they always make me laugh . 🤣 I was listening to one of Elvis' albums someone had post here on RU-vid and even Elvis jokes about one of guys being JD's niece . LOL!! He was a hoot too .
Hey Smith family I really enjoy your videos and your stories with memories of Elvis. You guys keep me laughing in a good way. You guys know and tell the truth and that is what is so great about you guys. Thank you. Keep them coming as long as you all are blessed to do so. Prayers for better health and that you may be able to keep up with your stories of Elvis and your family. Always Live Elvis guys.
My view on Elvis is a live is simple = no Elvis is gone = he could not go in hiding away from his daughter and make his family go thru the pain with out him rilly being gone ... And o how i wish he was still hear but i feel blessed getting to be ur friends kinda lets me kno how down to earth he was and so you kno Elvis is such a blessing to us fans his music gets me thru good days and Bad days ... thank you all for your friend ship on you tube and Facebook
Thank you for sharing what the upstairs looked like. Billy, you are a great storyteller and I enjoy all of your contributions as always. Jo, your hair looks so pretty.
Thank you guys for all the information you provide about our beloved Elvis. You really shine the light and give so much insight into the times when Elvis was alive. Personally speaking, I don't think the upstairs of Graceland should be let open to the public. We need to respect Elvis privacy and dignity.
I hope you have encouraged the people who believe Elvis still is alive somewhere to change their thinking and know Elvis would never do anything like that. I love to hear you say Elvis loved being Elvis. I've heard negative opinions before of the exact opposite. That really upset me but I never felt like that could be accurate. Now I know I was correct after hearing Danny speak. Thank you so very much. God Bless you all and thank you for your memories!!!!
Merry Christmas to you all!I love Jo's Christmas shirt,very pretty.If I could go back in time one of the changes for me would definitely be that Elvis was still here also.Thank you for describing the upstairs of Graceland. Sounds like Elvis had a bedroom fit for a king!Bless you all and I wish you all much health and happiness for many many more years to come!
