Again thank you both for being so candid! It’s annoying how many people refuse to believe anything other than the narrative we have all been fed regarding Priscilla. There’s numerous accounts now of people saying Elvis did not want to get married I just hope one day people realise that we have been fed a story which is not necessary accurate. We don’t have Elvis to ask but we got the next best thing and that’s you guys❤ thank you
Elvis was strong willed and imo if he didn't want to marry Priscilla he wouldn't have and I personally believe that he truly loved her and was devastated after the divorce and again imo I think he felt secure with Priscilla and his little family with Lisa.. Elvis died unfortunately not too many years after his divorce which imo broke his heart even though Priscilla had already broken his heart with her affairs however Elvis was never faithful to his own marriage even though he loved his family.. imo
Hi Danielle, Jo and Billy - great sets of questions & answers - i got a good chuckle out of the $10,000 loan phone call :) Great rib to be played! I hope you all have a great week ,and be safe as always!!! Love to you all !! Charlie
Will yall be in Tupelo this year always look forward to your visit and your video with your whole family. Jo and Billy Danielle is one smart woman to help y’all with your Elvis Fans Matter channel. Good thoughts for yall. Elvis Fans do matter❤
Question....were you Billy and Jo still at Graceland at Christmas time in 1977? I read Anita Wood's daughters book "once upon a time:" Elvis and Anita. She went to pay her respects to Vernon and Grandma since she didn't attend Elvis's funeral and Priscilla was there and that was the first time they actually met. Vernon,grandma and Patsy were so happy to see her I was wondering if you all got to see Anita at that time also. She seemed to really love Elvis and vise versa. Best time of their lives..she seemed like a really nice person very respectful... thanks for sharing your memories❤❤❤❤❤
Question Hi, y'all. I wonder what Billy and Jo's opinion is of the book Destined to Die Young by Sally Hodel. Thanks for letting us hear your stories ❤ Liz
I just watched the Memphis Mafia Kid video. Danny said Billy's knee was swollen and bothering him. I hope he's feeling better soon. That can be awfully painful. As always, I always look forward to Billy and Jo's EFM videos and love them both so much!
Good Sunday Morning Billy,Jo and Danielle, Glad to watch your video as we look forward every week And enjoy it. Thank You for sharing your priceless memories Arrivederci!
Hello Wonderful listening, to these amazing stories ,of your adventures with your beloved cousin and friend .It's great to hear the true stories. You are both appreciated for letting us into these great times .And now there recorded and not forgotten. So bless you both for sharing your thoughts and memories. Love from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 🌸💐
Yesterday I saw a video with two girls interviewing Tish, Elvis’ nurse, as you well know. She was speaking about the times at Graceland and mentioned your family and how all the kids played together. She did this interview only a few days ago. It was nice to listen to. Do you all still keep in touch?
Great show. We certainly appreciate your honesty. There's been so many lies written and talked about Elvis it's nice to hear the truth from two people that probably knew him best. And I appreciate the honesty about what you said about priscilla. A lot of people do not like her and realizing that she's just been lying for the last 50 years I'm a thrashing Elvis for the last five decades giving her side of the story for the last five decades and poor Elvis he can't even defend himself.
We all know Elvis did NOT want to marry Prissy but was pushed into it and into this day Prissy is STILL trying to matter when she does NOT! She DOES NOT belong to the Elvis fans or world and does NOT belong to be buried at Graceland. IF that happens it WILL HURT GRACELAND TREMENDOUSLY. Many fans have said they will not go there again because she will poison the ground.
Didn't Ann Margaret have a soft voice? Maybe that was why she later changed hers. Think Ann had Priscilla running scared. Remember when she had her hair colored like Ann's. Think Priscilla obversed a lot of things about other women Elvis liked and tried to copy them! Wonder if maid got fired because of Dee Presley?Gladys was probably very close to Alberta❤ Thanks for sharing your memories❤
Your channel is great ! Why? Because you were there! ... glad that Lisa Maria was born... but... he should have never ever had Priscilla come over and live in Graceland. What kind of parents would make that happen?? Greedy ones!
Hi Smith Family A speedy recovery to Billy, Prayers and best wishes. In my opinion we all knew the public side of Elvis. His carreer and generous nature 90 percent only was told by people close to him a few public charities he championed was publicized he was generous and humbled . But the personal side was known by Family and close friends and it is hard on others who are dealing with a head strong individual with the behavior and mentality that states it's my way or nothing at all. I personally wished he had that same mentality with Col. Parker post his military carreer. He came home knowing exactly what he wanted for his carreer , His Welcome back home entertainment which he got followed by Overseas traveling & Dramatic movies keeping 50 percent out of his manager pockets he never got that. Elvis had already proven himself and his talent to the world and if he needed a new good manager he could have gotten anything he wanted both in the U.S.A and outside of it As well, But starting out coming from humbled beginings he was to young to sign his own 1st contract is what i feel caused both he and Vernon fear of the unknown without Parker's management . Many great managers would have stood in line to represent Elvis . Many times in life people are placed in your life for a reason , A season and longeavity it's the indivcidual choice. , My opinion Parker had stayed his course upon Elvis release back into his carreer right before the long contract of his movie deals that locked him in for many years should have never seen the light of day. He had the people on his side inside of U.S. and out , I feel it would have lead to a Peace of mind for him by doing exactly what he wanted to do. His first interview back from the Army was tbe opposite of the deals that Parker made for him regardless to the large money he got he was'nt never happy with his carreer choices Parker made because it was'nt his way. I totally understand Vernon Stress but it was his choice to take on such a big task being the father of such a successful man was enough stress, blaming his son for actually making a life changing situation bringing him from rags to riches life style was a bitter pill for anyone to swallow especially watching a parent say those things from a sick bed.Vernon should have opted out of the business and just been a loving & Protective father. . As far as Priscilla is concern she was a student of Parker and she passed his class with flying colors. She stole Anne Margaret soft sounding voice decades ago .
Good morning Smith family Billy sending prayers for you. Another great video as always. I appreciate everything that you do for us thank you. Always love hearing the stories from you and Danny. Take care ❤
She was threatened by Ann Margaret , she copied her hairstyle, color & blamed it on Elvis that he wanted her to dye her hair black. I've seen pics if her before & after it was black , did he tell he her to dye it Srrawberry blonde as well , likecAnn Margaret had hers one time. & as for the makeup she blamed Elbid for thst so many different stories. She went to patricias finishing school & put on makeup there she called ir her Cleopatra yrs, & said when Elvis returned she wished he had kif said something. But he didn't
MEMPHISROCKS1; A Great Video, NO Disrespect To ELVIS PRESLEY And To You Billy And Jo Smith Too All Of ELVIS PRESLEY'S FAMILY. But What Ever Shorted Budget Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu Had Back In The Early Years With ELVIS. After ELVIS' Death She Made Up For It.
I love you guys. I think 16:36 Priscilla is a phony. I don't want to be mean but she really is about the money. For heavens sake, Billy is family and she just forgot about him? Really? She is getting richer every day with that soft voice of hers. Billy, you and Jo are the real deal. I love you and Danny and Theresa and of course Danielle and Laney. Thanks always for being yourselves. You never forgot where you came from. Thank God!!
Good set of questions again. Really love to listen to Billy and Jo. Talking about the cooks and maids, what did the ones in California do when Elvis wasn’t there?
Great video as always. Thanks for your opinion on Elvis marriage because I did read Nancy Rooks book & she wrote just days before Elvis got married that she found him crying & when she asked him what was wrong, Elvis said "That he didn't want to get married." I know from other video comments on this subject, people don't believe it. But in my opinion , I totally agree with your opinion. Thanks & Hi to cute Wanda 🐾🐾
Nancy said in an interview that her words got misconstrued. He was crying but it was because he wanted Priscilla to have a big nice wedding but it was too late because the Colonel had set everything up. Everything Billy and Jo say about Priscilla is negative. They do not like her and every chance they get they down grade her. After Billy got fired from Graceland he blamed her for it.
@@tammyadams4265that‘s a big fat lie. And if Nancy said that, best believe she got a big paycheck from Priscilla to say that. Joe said Priscilla makes people lie in interviews to push herself. NASTY.
Tammy what interview was that & when ? In a 1976 in a phone call that was between Red West & Elvis, in his own voice & words Elvis said that he was "Railroaded" into marriage & it happened so fast that he didn't even who all was there !!!
Hello Danielle,Jo,& Billy! Great video! Saw a video of another u tuber talking with Elvis private nurse Tish Kirk Henley.She was talking about her time with Elvis and spoke very highly of Billy/ Jo! What are your thoughts of Tish! Do you have any stories with her? Enjoy your day! God Bless! Fran Dixon❤
Question…about when Graceland was redecorated in the mid-‘70s. It seems by that time Elvis was wanting to have more freedom to see other women.…and he needed Linda to stay at Graceland when he travelled. Did Elvis really want to redecorate Graceland or was it a project he gave Linda to keep her busy at Graceland? And did he like all the red…the red carpet, the red furniture in the living room, the red curtains?
Just wanted to thank you for taking your time,spending it with us fans.I have been a fan over a year now.Always looking out for your next video.I hope Billy's knee is not giving him as much pain and swelling.I am also a MMK fan.Danny spoke about HS daddy's knee. Question Was Elvis ever aware of Lisa Marie signing autographs,(f u Lisa Presley)?? If so did he find her antic with his fans funny as she did? Did Elvis ever reprimand Lisa when he fought she was in the wrong?? Thank you for answering both questions? God bless you all !
Billy and Jo: i have Marfan Syndrome. One day she told me that Elvis also had Marfans. IMO he had all the signs. QUESTION: Did Elvis have Marfan Syndrome or did you hear anything about it? 💜 Have a great week 💜
I have a question for Billy & Jo, after Elvis passed was Lisa Marie still close and able to visit with yall as she grew up as well as Vernon and Dodger and Aunt Delta? How would Elvis have felt about the family breakup after his death? Family seemed very important to him!
Jo. you are so cute in that outfit! I wish you would write a book. . What was life like growing up? Who had the greatest influence in your life? What were you thinking when you met all those famous people? Were you always smartly articulate or did you have to work at it? You seem to be comfortable in your own skin (you know who you are and accept yourself) which is a rare trait these days. How did you handle the drugs and alcoholism around you. I only ask because my family and so many families these days are having heartbreak over loved ones turning to highly addictive drugs and alcohol. We have to somehow push forward with our own lives but it is not easy. I will be first in line to buy your book, if you write one.
Great questions in this clip. So many stories about Elvis being “blackmailed” or “forced” to marry and then others “how could a 14 or 18 year old girl force Elvis into anything “ because everyone knows that Elvis did what Elvis wanted. No one told him what to do?” I also respect how careful Jo was about describing Priscilla’s tone. You guys rock!!
Danielle I enjoy the way you explain the questions I so enjoy these videos!!! SO Truthful! Love Ya'll - *QUESTION* - As Priscilla had told it Did Elvis Teach her how to Dress Walk Talk Do her Makeup etc? As She Says She was His "Baby Doll" Thanks Ya'll Be Safe Much Love 💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
"There are so many ironies after Elvis' death. For instance, Elvis took definite measures to exclude certain people from his personal estate by leaving everything to Lisa Marie. But due to a strange set of circumstances , including the consecutive deaths of the executors, Vernon and Minnie Mae, the very person he did not want to have control, now does control the estate." Kathy Westmoreland 1987
*QUESTION:* There are photos of a vintage 70s menu from The Beef and Liberty restaurant that was directly across the street from Graceland posted on the Internet. Would Billy and Jo be willing to look at these photos to see if they recall any favorite meals for themselves and Elvis?
Priscilla told Michael Edwards whom she dated from 1978-1984 that Elvis apparently went to her house, often very late at night and she was forced to wake up even though she had a man in her bed. She talked with Elvis all night and Elvis apparently wanted her back and wanted to be with her again and wanted Priscilla to take him back. Priscilla said no but she felt bad. Do you guys think that this is true? Did Elvis really beg Priscilla to take him back? I just personally think that Elvis is the type of man who has to much pride and would never beg anybody to be with him. He told other people that Priscilla finally freed him and Marty Lacker said that Elvis wanted to get back with Ann Margret after the divorce and not Priscilla. I wonder if you guys know anything about this and wether it's true? Thank you for making all these videos❤️ so much love to all of you💕
Billy jo and daneille you’re videos are amazing fantastic and awesome too watch I love 💕 those stories about elvis and I find them so interesting too elvis fans matter I’m an elvis fan and I’m proud of it tcb ⚡️I’m an elvis fan and I’m staying that way too 6:38pm
I sometimes wonder since Priscilla had been in Elvis’s life starting when he first met her and she was high school age when she moved to Graceland, if maybe by the time they got married and had Lisa, he may have started to think of her as more of a younger sister. Just wondering. Love your channel!❤️
Im curious about this theres a lot of debate about this ....some say Ginger took shower and put on make up before calling downstairs that Elvis was dead. I wonder is that true
Question! With respect, I have heard you say that Elvis never wanted to marry Ginger. However, it is confirmed with jeweler that Elvis called in the middle of the night wanting an engagement ring for her and that jeweler had nothing like Elvis wanted. He later decided to take stone out of the TCB ring for her ring. Why would he do that if he wasn't planning on marrying her. It is also said that stone was never replaced.
In the taped telephone call between red west and elvis , elvis said he was "rail roaded into getting married, and told to be there and he did not know who was there", so somehow priscilla forced elvis to marry her and that is the truth, regardless what priscilla says now.
