Watch Part 1⚡Graceland, Then & Now: 1950’s - ua-cam.com/video/RdVmalD1w_U/v-deo.html
Ashley that was fantastic! Thanks for the work you do! I think it’s eerie that Elvis is standing in the garden with no idea that’s his resting place and that millions of people will be queuing and standing in the very spot he is there! X
Thanks a lot Tony!
I totally agree, very eerie, like that saying about someone walking over your grave.

I liked the picture of him and the bass guitar as well!he looked relaxed and the decor was excellent!
Ashley, you are amazing at the then and now videos of Graceland! I love seeing how Graceland looked before and how it looks now, but what I really love is that you have the photo's to put everything in perspective. And talking about the photos, wow....some I've never seen before so it is really cool seeing them. You'd think after all these years, that the info would run dry on the Elvis world but it doesn't! I keep learning more and more thanks for you! As always Ashley, you rock and are my favorite Elvis historian!
Aww, your kindness is so appreciated here, Brenda!
Yay, glad it was helpful to see some "new" ones. I love that Elvis is the gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks so much, sweet lady ❤️
This is a Great Video Ashley, anytime I go to Graceland, I sense Elvis Spirit is Still in the house ⚡
Thank you, Kelly! Thank you for tuning in.
I totally know what you mean. There were so many memories there, they don't just go away.
If you'd like to check out the previous video I created about the 1950's, that's here: ua-cam.com/video/RdVmalD1w_U/v-deo.html
No doubt that was the spirit still remains in the house
Great video!!! I have seen the picture of Travis next to the car and the wall, but I never realized it was outside the wall. I never knew Gary Pepper's father passed away in the guard shack. I never had any idea the breezeway between the house and trophy building had green aluminum siding and a green roof. I have never seen the picture of the slot car track you recently found. Your videos bring a clarity to Elvis history that the printed page and oral interview cannot do by themselves.
Thanks a lot, MS! I really appreciate that. I'm glad this video was helpful! ⚡

Hi my friiend, thanks for be my eyes at Graceland. First I will say I love your top or blouse/dress was so Evis inspired fit the video . My favorite part was the photo when Elvis seated at the couche with his bass in the living room is so natural home cozy !⚡
Haha thanks for noticing my leopard blouse! I tried to go with the theme. Thanks for tuning in, Jan⚡🎸
Great job, I like seeing GRACELAND pictures from way back then and how it looks NOW, the man had great style, KING ELVIS.
Glad you enjoyed it, Bobby!

I agree! I find it so fascinating! Thank you, Ashley, for sharing!
Thanks so much, Jana!
Everytime I see the old 1960 quard shack I think about Gary's Dad and his family and all that Gary Pepper did for Elvis, despite his handicap. I really like the music room. Someone ask what the pillows were doing under the piano. Musians often put them in various places to absorb sounds. Elvis had a good ear so he may have heard echo's when he sang and played. Lots of good times and the music room. Elvis did lots of improvements and remodeling to Graceland in the seventies. It's so cool that Linda helped him design the strained peacock windows. The P above the front door in the middle of the glass is very appropriate and fitting for the King. Elvis must have liked the gold mirror. Heard it's still in the living room today. Thank you Ashley.
You brought up some great points, Brenda! Thanks for tuning into this one ❤️
Hello Ashley. Thanks for explaining the photos, it's really helpful. Sometimes I'm trying to figure out where something is supposed to be and miss the big picture. You're an excellent tour guide!

Hi Ashley thanks for the video. Graceland has changed such a lot over the years as your video shows. It was interesting to see the comparison between how it is now and how things were when Elvis lived there.👍👍👍👍
Thanks for tuning in, Mark! Glad you enjoyed this one, I've been having a lot of fun creating this series
My Dream is to visit graceland and I'm.an elvis fan and I'm.staying that way too I always live elvis
Hope you get there
Can I just say you're always rockin' what you got on? You always look so classy- cool 😎💎👌
And Ashley have you got the Eagle Eyes or what?
How do you tell which spaces are which from some of these photos in comparison to how everything looks now?
You know... I am low- key in awe of your ability to do these comparison Then & Now videos.
Those shared Fred Hubris photos are just stunning! And even though I am no gear head God knows I LOVE the photos with all the old classic cars! One of my favorite movies is "American Graffiti" so maybe that's why- haha!
Thank you so very much Ashley for all that you do!
And I love your Gary Pepper videos!
Keep on rockin' Ashley 🎶🎸🎶 & hope you & yours are enjoying the weekend 💛
TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
Hey thanks a lot, girl! Shein really came through this time.
I'm always studying all photos over all the decades so I can remember the timeline of the changes. So when I see something vastly different, something still sticks out that's a clue. Its like the most useless skill lol.
The old car photos are so rad but I have no idea what they ever are!
Thanks a lot for your support and positive vibes you shed on my little corner here. Have a great rest of your weekend, Sammy!
@@ashleysadventures It's not useless because you have found a way to put your Eagle Eye & photographic memory to use!
Lucky for us Elvis fans here on this little corner of YT 😎⚡💖💕
Thank you so much Ashley & you are always so welcome! Have a great rest of your weekend ✌🙏💕
P.S. Elvis is the only reason I know now how to tell a 1969 Lincoln Continental from a 1970 Stutz :D
Haha thats a nice thing to say, and good point.
Hey there's your Elvis fun fact and random antique car skill! ⚡

I enjoyed this!! I was born in Memphis in 1959. My uncle had a house in Whitehaven somewhere off Millbranch, and I remember around 1965 or 66 we were driving down Hwy 51 and went by Graceland. At the time Elvis was out in the front yard near the fence and was talking to a few fans who were there. I caught a quick glimpse of Elvis(the only time I saw him live). I don't remember too much other that the from fences was different and there was no pull-off, only dirt.
Oh wow, that's cool!
Thanks for watching

I've been having fun creating this series and should have the 1970's one out shortly.
In 2012, Priscilla and Lisa were there during Elvis Week. They also sat down and filmed some interviews inside Graceland for Today and other news networks you can watch on UA-cam. Priscilla has a white top and Lisa has a navy blue dress.

I have always wondered with a feeling of embarrassment if Beloved ELVIS would have liked and likes to have his life revealed in great detail, while his cultural heritage is almost passed over in silence //// We talk about his deeds and gestures, his places of life, his intimate life, more than what he brought to the whole world with his music and the new era that was born with it him from the end of the 50s; It's just a reflection on my part, and a mixed feeling because I, too, am taking part in all of this///// Leonard Bernstein said """"ELVIS is the greatest cultural force of the twentieth century"""" / TCB,TLC / !

Question, are those Go-Karts next to the pink caddy in the carport? and curious if you think they might display the slot car track across the street. Grew up going to a place that had a 8 lane track, way popular in the mid sixties. I think it would be a great attraction. Thanks again for what you're doing. 😊
I'm not sure what that little thing is but there's photos of Elvis riding it down the driveway. Dangit that would've been a good addition to this video!
Most of the slot car track is long gone; Elvis donated it once he got over his hobby. But sometimes small pieces of the track and a couple cars are on display sometimes.
Thanks for tuning in!
I love your videos Ashley, they are so detailed and informative. Why was Elvis hand bandaged in the TKE photo? Karate injury ?
Thanks Steve! He had just broke his finger playing football.

As always so interesting. It was amazing to see another picture of the slot car set up. I know for tourists sake they had to change the trophy building, and i have seen various pictures of parts of the meditation garden flooring being torn up, plus changing the decor back. A part of me for historys sake would of liked iit to of remained as it was when Elvis passed away. Whats your opinion miss Ashley?|| soooo looking forward to many more excellent episodes.
Thanks a lot Clive! Haha I actually go off in the upcoming 1970's episode about how I don't mind the changes, I'm just the messenger, don't blame Graceland.
I've only ever known Graceland as a museum so maybe that's why I feel more removed but I just don't take it that seriously. Life is ever changing and evolving, we need to grow and flow with it
Thanks for tuning in!
Outstanding video. The race track is amazing. He would go to a shop in Memphis, I believe, where he would use the their track, then had one built at home. I never saw his track in pictures and it certainly exceeded my imagination. Thank you for another entertaining video.
Thanks a lot Dave! Glad you enjoyed this one! I'm having fun working on these.

Ohh oops! Its a Sony Alpha from the 6000 line, I can't remember the exact model but I love it and use it to film my videos. Thanks!
I like before and after photos. Even personal photos I have. Reminds me of the 1960 film The Time Machine, if you could travel back, time changes space says Rod Taylor. The furniture gets moved around a lot I notice. Apart from bespoke furniture such as the long couch, Elvis bought fairly inexpensive ornaments it seems. There were a few refurbishments. What further changes would Elvis have done I wonder? Notice how deep pink the Cadillac is. Have you seen YT video of house built almost exactly like Graceland? At 11:52 sounds like you said 'in March 1970'.....see I am watching/listening!

So interesting and informative! Noticed at the end that Lisa’s name on her gravesite is listed only as “Presley” and doesn’t provide any married names. Then, her son is next to her with the name “Keogh”. Shouldn’t that name be on Lisa’s too along with “Jackson”?
Thanks for tuning in! Lisa wasn't married when she passed. Her son's birth name is Keough. I suppose she added Presley as a family name

Hey Ashley, I'm not sure if you've seen a copy of this 1956 article but it describes the layout of Graceland just before the Presley's bought it. It has three pictures including a great picture of the back of the house. The article even mentioned separate boys and girls bathrooms that were once in the basement of Graceland!
It's on the Australian fan club website. I tried to post the link but my comment disappears when I do.

I'm finally getting to Graceland this Sunday, but have to leave after our tour. We'll get to the Guest House Saturday later in the afternoon. Is there something you suggest seeing in that short time? Also, the viewing of the Meditation Garden that we can go to at 7:30, do they open the gates at that time? I'm so excited, yet sad we don't have more time there. Any suggestions are appreciated...wish you could be our guide!
Exciting! Try to tour Sun Studios if it’s open. Or you can drive past Audubon Dr or Humes high school.
Dinner at Marlowes down the street. Have a great trip!

I often wonder what items/furniture in the home are reproductions and what are truly authentic. This could be a great video opportunity- I would definitely watch! For example, I know new carpet has been placed in several areas of the house. I think the white club style chairs in the living room are reproductions, too? Are the draperies original or reproduced? I have that question about a lot of items. Thanks!
Lol you are trying to get me grounded! I have a good relationship with Graceland and am not about the mess that up.
Those chairs are from his office and have been reupholstered along with the long couch to match. Thanks for tuning in!

@@ashleysadventures Oh, I didn’t realize that was a controversial question. 🤐
I wonder if Gary Pepper was in any way related to Cynthia Pepper (who starred with Elvis in Kissin' Cousins).
Ha! Not that I know of
Well Elvis sure knew how to clutter up a house with all those draperies in the doorways, the furniture was not very nice in the dining room, and those sliding glass doors in the dining room going into the hallway - yuk! wonder who his decorator was! But comparison is very interesting!

I recently visited Graceland, and was trying to find the tree which Michael Jackson engraved the initials on, unsuccessfully. Do you happen to know if it actually exists, and if so, on which tree?
It sure does! I show how to find it in this video: Hidden Gems and Michael Jackson! | SECRET GRACELAND #36

@@ashleysadventures Wow okay, so I literally walked right past it! I figured it was perhaps one of the trees further behind the house. Thank you so much.
Absolutely.
It gives you an excuse to have to go back!
@@ashleysadventures Travelled a very long distance to go and see it; but I do have a feeling that one day, I’ll go back there.
All the wealth and fame Elvis had...Although Graceland is and was far beyond the reach of 99.9999% of Americans then and now...when compare it in a "pro-rata" style...Considering the # of people flowing through that place 24/7 365 it is rather modest...nowhere as large as I had imagined...amazing, when the renovations and expansion of the JUNGLE ROOM...for people my age they will notice the window unit air condtioning units (or custom square holes cut into the frame of the house...AMAZING to think how close he came in following his heart at the time...but Colonel Parker....a man as petty, paranoid and...I'll stop there....just like Johnny Carson who is one of the biggest A-holes in history of Hollywood....but one of the most beautiful, talented, amazing, sweet, fun, famous...in fact, she was the only star of the 60s that could keep up with and be on the same level as Elvis...I am referring to the iconic and amazing lady who thankfully is still with us...Ann-Margret...She has said Elvis was her soulmate and she's convinced she was his...even after being married to Priscilla for years he never failed to send gifts, cards, flowers or surprise her without any forwarning at times.... I realize that's not honorable but....Elvis remained committed to Priscilla when it seems rather obvious now that his heart was with Ann-Margret....as with most things, imagine what-if...Elvis was domineering over Priscilla and basically everyone near the end (although in his early 40s).... Ann-Margret was his equal and she wouldn't have tolerated him having a handful too many guys that were responsible for his death IMO....not so sure that same path is taken if Ann Margret is with him....who knows but interesting to think about...
Thanks for watching
