I can see why Elvis loved having your family near him; y’all are fun people. I’m binge watching your channel and your parents channel in 2023. I’ve rediscovered Elvis and I’m in love with him all over again. The first time I was 10 years old. I’m 68 now. Thank you for all the stories.
I love the way Elvis was so polite. I grew up in South Carolina and I was always raised to be polite, also. Elvis was a "Southern Gentleman"! You and your family are great... could listen to you all day!
Elvis never forgot where he came from. He went from being born in a one room home to rising to be the second most popular man to walk the planet first being Jesus Christ. His mother raised a wonderful man. Thank you for this story.
Elvis may had had it all BUT he never thought he was better than anyone else. I taught Sunday School Sunday and I talked about ministering and gave examples of how Elvis ministered without even realizing it.
@@magikp6636 Don't forget Sonny and Red also had every right to feel hurt and betrayed by Elvis. Elvis chose drugs over his friends and got his daddy to get rid of them for him
Some asked why he always wore long sleeves? Well his jumpers looked classier w long sleeves but on many of his movies he wore short sleeves like in Fun in Acapulco and there he looked spectacular his arms looked beautiful, firm and trimmed not an oz of fat .
I want to Thank you all for sharing him and the family with us. Im 60 and just now becoming obsessed with him. Hubby and fam laugh at me but, I find he was so striking......I Love anything you share about him and his friends. Thank you!!
pamela sciurba hi I’m the same I always liked Elvis but now after 60 I find myself crying every time I hear one of his songs and I asked my son to take me to Graceland and he did ( May 18, 2019 ) ad my birthday 🎁gift .
Well , Elivs was right . I have seen people with plenty of book sense and plenty of people with common sense . It's just the way God made us all .We were raised not to make fun of people or think that we were better than anyone else too . I raised my kids to be the same way . I'm sure those good morals came from Elivs' Mama and Daddy too . Joey , you're right too ! It's always fun to laugh and cut up . Can't go around pouting all the time . Thanks y'all for sharing another great video .
Love hearing this, he seemed like such a special person . You we're blessed to know him, I love how humble he stayed and never looked down on anyone . Not many people are like that .
judith Drexhage a famous French actor told me this: be sure to treat them right on the way up cause they're the same bunch you meet on the way down. Elvis shared his Mother's values.
We call tater and mates here in Oklahoma.ove watching yall everyday. I agree his daughter should of picked up his award I do not think they really want to be family Only the money and just his daughter and x wife No family contact. Lisa cannot even say grandpa or grandma Dodger. So sad
I Love Elvis Presley and Im a lifelong Fan. I was born at Baptist in Memphis in 1954 but now live in Nashville TN. I watch Elvis concert Videos ans listen to his music on UA-cam every single day. He always puts me in a good frame of mind.I have Lots of questions also but I see most questions fans ask dont get answered so I just dont ask anything, I just tune in and listen. I really enjoy you guys and look forward to meet and greet sometime. Im planning on being in Memphis in August for Elvis Week 2018!!
Hello, thank you very much for answering my question. You are a wonderful family. Thank you very much Mr Billy for sharing your love for Elvis with all the fans. I must congratulate you because "Elvis and the Memphis Mafia" is the best book that has been written about Elvis because it's the only one whe tells the truth to 100%. Elvis would be very proud of you. God bless you all.
'I think my biggest thing would be consideration for other people's feelings'... Right on it! Thanks for another great video! God bless you all and come back soon!
elvis presley the best ever ... and then so normal and humble and never give anyone the feeling that that person is worth nothing ... that makes him a unique person. elvis must never be forgotten !!! Thank you all... big hugs much love.. and take care...!!
I dearly loved this episode!! Through yr family cut ups and all the fun and laughter hearing yr opinion of Elvis and what he felt about other people and how to treat people. How he was as a person and a MAN. Thank u so much for the episode, I loved it.
Thank you for all your videos. I have often pondered what this attraction is to Elvis after all of these years. No matter what kind of gifts and charisma a person has, it's really doesn't seem normal for people all of the world to be so enamored by one person, especially 45 years after his death. When I was praying the other day, I asked God about this. I heard Him say so clearly, "he was a king while he was here because he had so much of The King in him." Elvis surely seemed to definitely be filled with the Holy Spirit. However, I truly believe he was more than just a human being. There was something extraordinary about him. Perhaps he was an evolved old soul, perhaps he was an angel in human form that had all the constraints of flesh that he had to battle with. Whoever Elvis was, there was something truly divine about him. Consider how beautiful he was. It wasn't just a typical type of beauty. It was angelic, it was glorious. I think he was God's perfect creation! I know without a doubt he taught many many people while he was here on this Earth: how to love, how to give, how to be. I truly believe we will all see him again!!
If we all walked a mile in someone ele's shoes, it would make the world a better place. Thank you Smith Family.. I love being a part of ya'll's life. Between Facebook group and, these video's it feels like I was there with you. Great storyteller's all of you. Always live Elvis.. TCB
Billy, You and Your Family are so special and I can tell how much you all cared for Elvis. I appreciate that you, and Jo were there for Elvis until the end. That is one thing that I love most about Elvis is that he was so polite in his interviews and that he was sympathetic of others and never looked down on those who had less. I can tell that you all never let it change any of you and It is a wonderful thing that you all lived at Graceland and were so close to Elvis but never let it change you. It is a very special thing to stay humble and not let things change you. I really appreciate you all sharing your personal memories of Elvis with us who still love him so. I am happy that you all are keeping his memory alive.. God Bless You All.
Another great insightful video thank you. It's weird I've always thought of the character of Elvis just as you guys say he was. A live and let live not to think he was better than anyone else respectable decent person. Thanks again. He also was blessed to have you guys as his family. God bless
I love your video's, please always keep them coming!!!!! I didn't realize they were out there until recently, and every chance I get I find them and watch them!!!! I enjoy them sooooo much!!!!! God bless you all!!!!!
Elvis taught you humbleness and appreciation of others which is probably the best lesson to learn and teach! How wonderful that you get Elvis's spirit.
Very good. I've always thought it's so great how he kept his courtesy and politeness towards others regardless of his fame. Fundamentally he must have been the modest southern boy at heart. On the other hand his temper must have been one of the kind too! ,😊 Looking forward to hearing more about that later. It's absolutely amazing what you have gone through with him, Billy. And Jo too. Thanks again for sharing.,🤩
Danny you’re videos are amazing fantastic and awesome too watch I always live elvis I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis 5:19pm
Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your personal memories. My daughter has loved Elvis since she was 8 & saw a video of the song Jailhouse Rock (she is 16 now). In Sept 2017, we all headed from FL to Memphis to escape the hurricane and we took her to Graceland. For some reason I can't articulate, since we left there, I have been reading and watching everything I can about him. My daughter is like, "hey, I loved him first." Haha After many books and videos, I still can't explain what makes him so incredibly fascinating.... I think it's because no one else ever had whatever it is that God gave him. 😊 Truly, he seems to have been a unique & kind hearted person who wasn't perfect (how to know he was human) that God only made one of and we were lucky he shared his talent with us. A funny thing happens, though, when you read enough books about Elvis -- you see there were some people there with him through it all and come to feel they and a few others were the most important pieces of him. Billy and family are at the top of that list. So, it's incredible to get to hear your stories from your perspective. I was hoping there was a book out there by you, but honestly this is even better. To get to hear directly from you. You are a beautiful family! Please know the time you're taking to do this is immeasurably appreciated. Speaking of books, I'm so sorry that I just wrote one with this run on reply.....God bless you always, Kristi Lade
Hazel, Aura is a great way to describe it. Thank you! There was nothing phony or contrived & there was strength and humble humanity.... His family has that genuineness, too. ♡
You have answered a concern of mine. (Won’t go into why) but I often wondered if Elvis would have given someone like me the time of day- that maybe he’d turn his nose up or something because I don’t look right etc (something that happens a lot with celebrities and something I often face) it’s reassuring that Elvis really was that kind to people. I don’t know if I explained that too well (people often judge me without knowing me basically and I’ve often wondered if Elvis would have done the same. There I said it) but looks like he wouldn’t have done that at all ☺️
I met Charlie Hodge a couple of times and he was so nice and he spoke so well of Elvis. I believe that Charlie really loved Elvis. or that's the impression he gave me. and of course you Billy, but I meant besides family. and I think that it's a shame that Lisa Marie never comes around and sees her father's side of the family. I think that her mother's got a lot to do with that. my opinion and mine only. but she needs to stay in touch with her cousins on her daddy side. because that's what he would have wanted.
I especially love the one about the snow snake!!!!! I laughed and laughed and still do!!!!! Thank you to you all for taking the time and sharing with us!!!!!!!
You guys are the greatest Alfred Landon but not surprised at Elders training angry not every family has it there's something very special about you guys you're like my extended family problems when I met you when I wish I could I don't have the means to travel with you make me cry every time I laugh of happiness when I spool people loving one another
JO, IT IS SO HEARTWARMING TO SEE HOW YOU KEEP HOLDING YOUR HUSBAND'S HAND...WITH SUCH PROTECTION AND LOVE. HE IS A LUCKY MAN. THESE VIDEOS SHARE SO MUCH. MOST APPRECIATED. FROM M IN CHICAGO.
Thank you for this lovely video 💛. Elvis was wise beyond his years and such an articulate person. Would you be able to do a video discussing how Graceland looked inside through the years? Can you explain each room and colors and different furniture and decorations 🙏🏻. Thank you.
In My Opinion I Think That's Why People Still Today Including Myself Love Him So much... Because He Never Changed.. What Attracted Me To Elvis is His Heart.. His Humbleness.. His Honesty and He Was a Human Being Just Like We are.. He had Problems Just Like We All Do.. He Never Looked Down on Anyone ... And That's What I Have Always Loved About Elvis..and That's Why People are Still Drawn To Him to This Day... That's Just My Opinion.. God Bless Yall
Elvis was a smart man very intuitive a good sense of knowing things he also had great instincts Elvis was great and very talented in many ways inside of music and outside of music he was special did not get to show all those talents because of the colonel but he is a true legend and one of a kind
Elvis liked short people and short people liked Elvis! Haha. Thanks for sharing and making us all laugh. I learned a life lesson from Elvis just being a fan hanging around. One night he came out of the crosstown and was in a mood. I wish someone had asked what movie y’all had seen. We (fans)were surprised when he started talking and saying stuff. What stuck with me was Elvis saying No one is better than you unless You think they are. That hit a note with me and the rest of my life if I had to standup in a business meeting I would remember those words and it helped me to not feel intimidated.
i like the hat Billy! i just made the banana and peanut butter sandwich yesterday for my grandchild. She said this is pretty good and i said Elvis eat this kind. She is only 6 and likes the song " wise man say".
I have another question. I have heard many times that Elvis would worry that he would be forgotten. Would he be pleased or humbled about how much he is still celebrated? And how would he have felt about how Lisa Marie has even been in the spotlight so much as she seems to prefer her privacy much more?
Terra Herald good question!! I've wondered the same , I believe he would be thrilled how fans have remembered as far as all $$$ generated at Graceland in the name of Elvis, personally I feel Elvis would be upset about what's happening to his Fans and the costs...
I Know Elvis Favorite Holiday was Christmas but did He Ever Like Halloween ..Did Yall give Candy out to kids.. Love Yall Guys...God Bless Yall... We Always Live Elvis
Thanks again for another great, very interesting video. It really does make my day to hear any story you guys might want to discuss....honestly it’s all interesting & entertaining to me. I throughly enjoy your family sharing the precious memories of great times. It’s really an honor to be able to enjoy listening because y’all were there & can fill us in truthfully on interesting & fun things that occurred, as well as some not so happy times too. I’m extremely grateful to you all for taking the time & effort to allow us to hear about those times. God bless each one of you & your families & keep doing what you’re doing, it’s so appreciated! Thank you once again!
I just love the insight you guys give us into the man behind the image that Elvis was..This world could really use more humans in it that treat people the way Elvis always did.Thanks for all your videos,love em.
Your family is some of the most humble down to earth people, I really enjoy your videos. I would just love to have lunch with the four of you, You all are my kind of people. Really enjoying the videos ... God Bless all of you !!!!
My husband said what keeps you warm can also keep you cool. Not get that farmers tan on one arm. And my husband liked. 2 pocket shirts that buttoned to his lists and pencil not fall out.
I think Charlie and Elvis had the most fun together! I've watched videos of Charlie and I will sure Miss seeing him. He was so funny and a great story teller relating stories about his time with Elvis. I could've listened to him all day! He was like Elvis one of a kind! RIP Charlie
Elvis's temper tantrums were notorious and as Billy confirmed with his being fired, no one was exempt lol. From my understanding though, if Elvis blew up and then was found to be in the wrong, he would apologize for his mistake, that shows a humble and honest person.
Hello Folks! Enjoying all of you,, & your real stories! From the chop hamburger to Elvis's love of family & all mankind ! Wish he was still alive! I wouldn't care if he walked across the stage, with a jewelled in crusted walker!! Just so I could thank him ! Esther from N.Y.
Yeas I can't wait to here about Charlie. I watch a video of EP J.D Charlie and some of his singers singing gospel songs boosom of Abraham and Charlie good sing didn't realize how beautiful his voice was
Billy, do you and your wife Jo ever get to spend time with Lisa and her Kids? Do they ever want to visit with your family seeing as Lisa was like a niece to you? Can you show pictures (Danny&Joey), of when you were growing up? I'll bet you guys were little hippies back in the 70's? I'm 54 years old (I think the same age as Danny) and in the 70's my hair was like one of the members of Credence Clearwater Revival!!! I think everybody was a hippie by 1975. I would think that your mom and dad would be swamped with requests for interviews about elvis???
They all respect Jo. Just look at Billy and the way he hangs on to his wife whenever he or she says anything and how she supports him and how he listens to her. Man, how wonderful!
Jo I think you are the heart of the family and what a lovely family you have love you all you were all lucky to have known Elvis. ,and he was lucky to have all have you . Love you all
I'AM 58 YEARS OLD NOW I WAS RAISED E.P. IN 1967 I HEARD MY FIRST E.P. RECORD DON'T BE CRUEL I WAS HOOKED FROM THAT DAY ON. IN SEPT 10, 1970 E.P. CAME TOO ST.LOUIS MO IN CONCERT I LIVE THERE THEN IT WAS BIG NEWS IN THE CITY BACK IN THE DAY!!!
I can see why Elvis loved having your family near him; y’all are fun people. I’m binge watching your channel and your parents channel in 2023. I’ve rediscovered Elvis and I’m in love with him all over again. The first time I was 10 years old. I’m 68 now. Thank you for all the stories.
Elvis Presley was Something Else.
I’ve always liked this quote from Elvis: Don’t criticize what you don’t understand you’ve never walked in that man’s shoes.
I love the way Elvis was so polite. I grew up in South Carolina and I was always raised to be polite, also. Elvis was a "Southern Gentleman"! You and your family are great... could listen to you all day!
Elvis's work ethic was phenomenal and his loyalty to family and friends was epic.
Elvis never forgot where he came from. He went from being born in a one room home to rising to be the second most popular man to walk the planet first being Jesus Christ. His mother raised a wonderful man. Thank you for this story.
Elvis may had had it all BUT he never thought he was better than anyone else. I taught Sunday School Sunday and I talked about ministering and gave examples of how Elvis ministered without even realizing it.
Poor kid from Tupelo worked hard for a better life for himself and his family situation. That's Elvis Presley,,,,,the Best friend a song ever had.
I've always lived by this logic - It's a testament to a wonderful Mother who obviously instilled these values - I know my wonderful Mother did! :)
Elvis family is so kind of heart .
Loyalty sounds like a huge deal to him- thanks, everyone!
I agree! And I think that's why he was SO hurt and upset by the book "Elvis - what happed". He felt Red, Sonny, and Dave betrayed him.
@@magikp6636 Don't forget Sonny and Red also had every right to feel hurt and betrayed by Elvis. Elvis chose drugs over his friends and got his daddy to get rid of them for him
ELVIS was not a Star. Elvis Presley is the whole DAMN galaxy,,,,the Best friend a song ever had
Some asked why he always wore long sleeves? Well his jumpers looked classier w long sleeves but on many of his movies he wore short sleeves like in Fun in Acapulco and there he looked spectacular his arms looked beautiful, firm and trimmed not an oz of fat .
EP probably preferred long sleeves because they look classier. He was an awesome dresser.
Yeah I prefer longs sleeves, when rolled up they also look cool and classier as you said. However sometimes when I'm playing I like to show my guns.
Elvis presley was very polite a such a generous gentleman a very friendly kind humble a human.
I want to Thank you all for sharing him and the family with us. Im 60 and just now becoming obsessed with him. Hubby and fam laugh at me but, I find he was so striking......I Love anything you share about him and his friends. Thank you!!
pamela sciurba hi I’m the same I always liked Elvis but now after 60 I find myself crying every time I hear one of his songs and I asked my son to take me to Graceland and he did ( May 18, 2019 ) ad my birthday 🎁gift .
@@marcellaalfaro8418 i’m going next month. Yay for both of us lol
Through you all, his family; we get to learn who Elvis ( the man) was all about ❤️👍🥰 and what a MAN 😁I just love 💕 Elvis, thank y’all !
Well , Elivs was right . I have seen people with plenty of book sense and plenty of people with common sense . It's just the way God made us all .We were raised not to make fun of people or think that we were better than anyone else too . I raised my kids to be the same way .

Its very rare to see someone of his stature to stay the same person they were before they hit it big. I think that's why we love him so much!
he was so wise and smart
Hello, thank you very much for answering my question. You are a wonderful family. Thank you very much Mr Billy for sharing your love for Elvis with all the fans.

Treat those the way YOU want to be treated. That’s sums it up for me ( taught my kids this way too) 💕🥰😀

Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your personal memories. My daughter has loved Elvis since she was 8 & saw a video of the song Jailhouse Rock (she is 16 now).

Thank you Kristena
Love your videos, hearing from family that Elvis loved, thank you, your videos are awesome !!
Elvis lived 1st Corinthians. It takes all of us to make a church. In life it takes all of us fo this world to go around.
You have answered a concern of mine. (Won’t go into why) but I often wondered if Elvis would have given someone like me the time of day- that maybe he’d turn his nose up or something because I don’t look right etc (something that happens a lot with celebrities and something I often face) it’s reassuring that Elvis really was that kind to people. I don’t know if I explained that too well (people often judge me without knowing me basically and I’ve often wondered if Elvis would have done the same.

I met Charlie Hodge a couple of times and he was so nice and he spoke so well of Elvis. I believe that Charlie really loved Elvis. or that's the impression he gave me. and of course you Billy, but I meant besides family. and I think that it's a shame that Lisa Marie never comes around and sees her father's side of the family.

Yall sound like fun bunch to hang out with my kind of people I'm from Kentucky love the south! God bless y
Love you two. You were with him until the end and were always loyal to him XX
Family is everything. Elvis is real proud and happy that the family to this day tells funny, loving stories of his life.

Elvis was a smart man very intuitive a good sense of knowing things he also had great instincts Elvis was great and very talented in many ways inside of music and outside of music he was special did not get to show all those talents because of the colonel but he is a true legend and one of a kind
Another fun video! Great to watch you all together. Thank You!
U are a lovely bunch smith family ty for ur continued beautiful Elvis memories 😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love your videos, love when Jo talks too , nice family 💗
I believe Elvis Presley was a very respectful kind Genious loving human being w a big heart.
Elvis liked short people and short people liked Elvis! Haha. Thanks for sharing and making us all laugh.
I learned a life lesson from Elvis just being a fan hanging around.
One night he came out of the crosstown and was in a mood. I wish someone had asked what movie y’all had seen.
We (fans)were surprised when he started talking and saying stuff. What stuck with me was Elvis saying No one is better than you unless You think they are.
That hit a note with me and the rest of my life if I had to standup in a business meeting I would remember those words and it helped me to not feel intimidated.
Just subscribed to your channel! HELLO from Canada, an Elvis fan! 💜
Love all the videos.Thank you for sharing.

i like the hat Billy! i just made the banana and peanut butter sandwich yesterday for my grandchild. She said this is pretty good and i said Elvis eat this kind. She is only 6 and likes the song " wise man say".
I have another question. I have heard many times that Elvis would worry that he would be forgotten. Would he be pleased or humbled about how much he is still celebrated? And how would he have felt about how Lisa Marie has even been in the spotlight so much as she seems to prefer her privacy much more?
Terra Herald good question!! I've wondered the same , I believe he would be thrilled how fans have remembered as far as all $$$ generated at Graceland in the name of Elvis, personally I feel Elvis would be upset about what's happening to his Fans and the costs...
I Know Elvis Favorite Holiday was Christmas but did He Ever Like Halloween ..Did Yall give Candy out to kids.. Love Yall Guys...God Bless Yall... We Always Live Elvis
That's Awesome Lessons That We Should All Live By... I Know I do.. 💙

I just love the insight you guys give us into the man behind the image that Elvis was..This world could really use more humans in it that treat people the way Elvis always did.Thanks for all your videos,love em.
Thank yall so much . ❤❤❤❤❤
My husband was like that too. He liked long sleeve shirts. If it was a pull overs polo shirts he liked thise or golf shirts.
We liked bacon around my house. We fried potatoes rounds too. Sautéed onions.
look at the world with eyes wide open . and don't knock 'em
Your family is some of the most humble down to earth people, I really enjoy your videos. I would just love to have lunch with the four of you, You all are my kind of people. Really enjoying the videos ... God Bless all of you !!!!
My husband said what keeps you warm can also keep you cool. Not get that farmers tan on one arm. And my husband liked. 2 pocket shirts that buttoned to his lists and pencil not fall out.
That was AWESOME! Thank you!
Charlie was a friend of my family. He was a good ole Alabama boy too
I think Charlie and Elvis had the most fun together! I've watched videos of Charlie and I will sure Miss seeing him. He was so funny and a great story teller relating stories about his time with Elvis. I could've listened to him all day! He was like Elvis one of a kind! RIP Charlie
Love you Billy and your family
Elvis's temper tantrums were notorious and as Billy confirmed with his being fired, no one was exempt lol. From my understanding though, if Elvis blew up and then was found to be in the wrong, he would apologize for his mistake, that shows a humble and honest person.
Hello Folks! Enjoying all of you,, & your real stories! From the chop hamburger to Elvis's love of family & all mankind ! Wish he was still alive! I wouldn't care if he walked across the stage, with a jewelled in crusted walker!! Just so I could thank him ! Esther from N.Y.
Awesome advice and so true!
Keep living Elvis...I love all the stories...
Yeas I can't wait to here about Charlie. I watch a video of EP J.D Charlie and some of his singers singing gospel songs boosom of Abraham and Charlie good sing didn't realize how beautiful his voice was
Billy, do you and your wife Jo ever get to spend time with Lisa and her Kids? Do they ever want to visit with your family seeing as Lisa was like a niece to you? Can you show pictures (Danny&Joey), of when you were growing up? I'll bet you guys were little hippies back in the 70's? I'm 54 years old (I think the same age as Danny) and in the 70's my hair was like one of the members of Credence Clearwater Revival!!! I think everybody was a hippie by 1975. I would think that your mom and dad would be swamped with requests for interviews about elvis???
Joe, you are the Boss of all theese bald men, let mama speak because she is doing it better than yall. Hug and kiss from France 🇫🇷.
They all respect Jo. Just look at Billy and the way he hangs on to his wife whenever he or she says anything and how she supports him and how he listens to her. Man, how wonderful!
Jo I think you are the heart of the family and what a lovely family you have love you all you were all lucky to have known Elvis. ,and he was lucky to have all have you . Love you all
