You just can’t help but fall in love with her. I was at Elvis week 2017 and I saw her and Priscilla on stage together holding hands and Priscilla saying how Elvis always spoke so fondly of Dixie and would talk about her. You could see Priscilla and Dixie’s bond. Thank you so much for this. I just love Dixie.
I have a lot of respect for Dixie Locke, she’s never added any frills to her retelling over the years, never tried to add insight she didn’t have, she’s absolutely lovely and no wonder a young Elvis liked her so much.
The picture of Elvis and Dixie at the prom or whatever they were at, is typical of his blinding smile. His smile could stop a train, as well as any heart in its tracks.
What a beautiful, sweet lady. The love & joy of the lord shines brightly from her💛 I could listen to her talk all day! And I do believe even though Elvis did a lot of searching he knew who to call on with his last breath .. he knew his maker WELL!! He knew Jesus Christ is king 👑
These three segments with Dixie Locke Emmons...have been THE MOST interesting to me...of any videos you've done about Elvis. And the best!...you have done on Elvis. No puff, no exaggeration at all from this sharp, clear, and lovely woman. Listening to Mrs. Locke..you hear a true ring of authenticity...and accuracy...in every sentence from this Lady....And you get THE MOST ACCURATE..description of what the real Elvis was like, before all the movies and fame...that I have ever seen, read, or heard..from anyone who knew him...Period!.. So glad you did these, Billy.
This 3 part series was great, Dixie was great, her conviction to Elvis as a Christian was great, and I think that she helped explain his story better, and shed light into why he seemed conflicted at times. Great work, Billy!
Oh man how I have enjoyed this. I could listen to her for hours. She sheds light on young Elvis. A real honest to God light. Not tarnished with the allure of dollar signs or fame. I try to imagine walking beside Elvis. Heck crying with Elvis. At his most vulnerable moments. You knocked it out of the park Billy. God bless your tightness 💜💜💜
It’s a beautiful thing to hear Dixie tell us about their relationship and Elvis’s relationship with God as a teenager and young man. It’s incredible to believe that many people at the time felt he was singing the devils music and that his gyrating was vulgar when in fact he was a sweet, Christian guy just moving to the rhythm. And I do strongly believe that Elvis through his own beliefs and his Gospel music has inspired his fans to follow Lord Jesus. Just another jaw dropping insight into the early life of Elvis. Thanks Dixie, Thanks Sir Billy 😇
Thanks Billy for this wonderful interview with Dixie. The Lord Jesus really does shine through her life. It's so nice to know that one day those people that knew Elvis and loved the Lord will meet again in the sweet By and By. God Bless you!
Miss Dixie is beautiful , you can see why Elvis trusted her and cared for her....ive never doubted that Elvis wasnt a christian , and a very compassionate man , i believe Miss Dixie is right people still follow Elvis through his music....Another great video Spaguy...and thank you
So Dixie wondered if Elvis would ever get over the passing of his Mother since he was so devastated. Just as we fans always felt also. Sad that at his young age he could no longer attend Church cause of his fame and the Col. already had him tied up with contracts that he felt he couldn't ever get out of. I always thought he felt so alone after that and that he lost the purpose of his life. He lived to make his Mother's life easier, but I always felt she would have been happier to have Elvis back home and she really didn't care about all the money. She just wanted Elvis close by her and worried when he was away. When he was drafted into the Army, I always felt that was too much for her to deal with and that led to her failing health. It is so sad to see the pictures of her when Elvis was leaving for training. I am glad that Dixie had her love of God to help her when Elvis and her broke up. Happy that she did take the time to see Elvis at one of his lowest points in his life, when his Mother passed. Happy Memorial Day to you all!
I use to sing elvis song precious lord and help me With my 5 year old daughter before we go to sleep every något. my kids at 5 and 11 years old like to listen to elvis music to. I am 35 year old and I looooove elvis. Always have Always Will❤
Wouldn't that be something if Dixie showed us where the bench was at the park.😉 Thanks for sharing this video Billy, what an amazing lady. God blessings to all those whom knew Elvis Presley 🤗 greetings from 🌞 California
Awwww she was EPs reminder of his roots and innocence. His high school sweetheart. Im sure she prayed for him a lot. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Super interview Billy. I see why Elvis liked her so much, she's a special lady and classy and sure doesn't look 80! Looking forward to more interviews with you and Dixie. Thanks Billy for your love of Elvis and in bringing us along on your trips to have such insight on all things Elvis! I love hearing about those days gone by. Very special to me to learn even more about him. I've followed him since I was 9 years old. So many years of life and music and family I've enjoyed. Where we going next Billy? lol! 😄😊❤
Pastor Hamill was a wonderful pastor for all those years at First Assembly. I know that he met with Elvis and prayed with him because, he was feeling that the fame was pulling him away from his walk with the Lord. Elvis was conflicted. Our mutual friend Jill told me that when Miss Dixie was working at the church one day, a group of Asian tourists popped in because, they wanted to meet her. She was gracious and spent time with them. Loved this interview!!!
I told my friend Jill, that when I come to Memphis, that I wanted to meet Miss Dixie. She said, she would make the introduction. Now that Jill has gone on to heaven, I hope that I can still meet her someday soon.
I would love to hear the story about when they argued and Elvis tossed his class ring out the car window. Thank you so much for doing these. You are the man!
Thanks again Billy. Yes Dixie is righ Elvis is still a Bell sheep, he`s had a great influence on a lot of generations still today with his gospel music and with his personality. Thanks Dixie Locke Emmons share the Story with us in the Elvis world. And I won`t forget to thank s to Brian and Sally Oxley for making this interview possible !
Loved all 3 parts. Amazing lady with awesome memories of being with the greatest entertainer in the world. Thank you Dixie Locke for sharing with us. Thank you Spa Guy for getting this video out to us.
Thank you for these interviews! She is such a nice person to meet. My twin sister and I met her almost 2 years ago at The Guesthouse in Memphis! Wish I could visit with her again . She is a beautiful and sweet lady , was such a privilege that day ! Always love your videos! Thanks again!
Great video!! Rex Humbard’s wife Maude Aimee is actually the one who told Elvis about him being the bell sheep guy after a Vegas show in ‘76....he apparently cried like a baby...
Great video! Ms. Dixie is a great source of information about Elvis. She was there, she lived through it. She knew the real Elvis. That's what we want to know. THE REAL ELVIS! Great stuff! Keep it coming. Please invite her back for more wonderful memories of Elvis!!!
What a great adventure we are having -thanks to Spa Guy. Names and places I have heard of since my childhood but never seen ... until this series. I have known that Dixie was Elvis girl friend, and i can see why now- what a lovely lady! Thanks to Dixie ,I understand more why Elvis gospel music is so powerful. Thanks Dixie and Spa Guy Mike Bristol UK
Isn’t that sweet that he went to Dixie first thing? He went to her for comfort. That’s how important she was to him. How wonderful to be so close to Elvis that he went to her. As a young man he had her on his mind to be with him to mourn the death of someone that close to him and her.
Hi Billy.Dixie such another very important video.beautiful storytelling.and the truth too.such a pretty .easy going lady .genuine & loyal to the core.All us fans thank you so much for sharing all these memories. From England 🇬🇧 xxx Billy you never cease to surprise us.we so appreciate your hard work.
How fascinating! What she says about Elvis‘s gospel music really hits home for me. For years, I would start my day listening to my Elvis Ultimate Gospel cd. The Church of Elvis? 🎶🤍🕊
One of the best series you've done Billy...So much information about the spiritual side of Elvis, very interesting...I had the chance to meet and talk with James Blackwood, a wonderful christian man...thank you for your effort and time to bring these fantastic videos to us ~ God bless.....and thanks to Dixie for sharing the wonderful stories with you and us.
Billy, thanks so much for this interview. I’ve been an Elvis fan for over 50 years and Ms. Locke has always been sort of a mythical lady...the only evidence of her knowing Elvis, that I have seen, is that one prom photo. Now you have made her “real”.
Awesome interview series! These were the best questions ever asked and answered during ANY Elvis related interview! Especially, Pertaining from the Christian side of Elvis. I've always loved the Red Hubbard bell sheep story and only you can tighten up and give us this wonderful series Billy! Special thanks to you and the beautiful Ms. Dixie!
Rex Humbard. Actually, I think it was his wife, Maude Aimee, whom I heard tell the story of the bell sheep conversation with Elvis which took place backstage at one of his speaking engagements. Elvis was in attendance and Rex and Maude Aimee had him come back to speak with them. As I recall, she told Elvis that she saw him a a bell sheep, a leader whom God wanted to use to bring many to Him. Elvis listened and was very touched by this and began to cry, and left, not accepting the call to join them in bringing people to Christ. I think he contributed to Rex Humbard's ministry for many years.
@@judijones1326 I "remember" that, also. Was that on the Original, Elvis The Way It Is or Original; Elvis On Tour? ? Which has been CUT OUT :( On youtube Years ago, J.D. Sumner was on a Talk Show, had everyone LAUGHING trying to tell the Story; Elvis in Vegas, Telethon, Minister raising money (24 hour). GOOGLE BOOK RESULT; Elvis: The Biography type in search box; Story by J.D. Sumner, Vegas, Telethon, Minister; chapter 23 Falling Apart. You can read parts of Chapter 23, 24, 25, 27, 29. QUOTE: The other night there was a Minister in town to raise money for a New Evangelical Church. He had an all-night telethon and J.D. Sumner and the Stamps went over and sang :) :) The Minister asked J.D. if maybe I (Elvis) would come by, and J.D. replied: "If he (Elvis) does, I'll jump in the pool". Later I (Elvis) called and told the Minister that because of my (Elvis') Contract, I (Elvis) can't appear in Las Vegas outside the Hilton. But (Elvis) told him I'd (Elvis would) Donate $2,500 if J.D. and the Stamps did jump into the pool. And they did! :) :) I (Elvis) told the Minister, I'd give another $1,000 if he'd (the Minister) would jump into the pool. They (J.D. and Stamps) had to THROW him in. :) :) It was SOOOOO FUNNY. . .J.D. LAUGHING, everyone on Stage and in the audience was LAUGHING SOOO hard as J.D. tried to tell the story. There was a little more to the FUNNY Story. TCB with TLC. Fans comments bring back to my mind SOOOO MANY "WONDERFUL" things Elvis did, and said; Thank You
Spa guy thanks for a wonderful interview. Dixie Locke is a beautiful and genuine lady. It is so wonderful to know Elvis loved Jesus so much. I love the way you fill in his life before he became famous. All the southern people are so genuine. The part Dixie told us about Elvis after his mom had died was moving for me, because it showed the true feelings of Elvis's heart. He felt obligated to people. I remember hearing a story that said after his mom had died he would give it all up if he could have his mom back. Dixie has priceless memories of Elvis that no one else can have. She has beautiful memories. Thanks again Mr Spa guy, you make wonderful videos.
Lovely lady inside and out. Thank you Mr. Spa Guy for the most interesting interview with Ms Dixie Locke Emmons. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing such interviews to we the Elvis fans. I really would like to sit and listen to her stories for hours (with a cup of coffee), lol ! Happy Memorial Day. Thank you for your service Mr. Spa Guy. Keep tightening up and be safe in your adventures. Lord bless.
Elvis was indeed a bell sheep, everyone wanted to be like him and be around him all the time. What a great humble polite beautiful man who influenced everyone in the whole world.
Wonderful interview with a wonderful lady. Thank you Dixie for sharing your Elvis memories with us. It eases my mind to know Elvis had the Lord in his heart. Now I'm sure he is in heaven. Thank you Billy for this interview and all you do for us. You are truly a blessing. 💓💓💓
I really enjoys all three of the stories she told you. It was a real joy meeting Elvis's first girlfriend. I could listen to these wonderful stories all day long. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching the future interviews you get with Miss Dixie . Thank you Miss Dixie for letting the Spa Guy interview you about our Elvis. God bless 😇
Without the fame he could have married her and settled down to a normal, devout Chistian life. He might well have become a pastor. However God allowed a different path for him, in His divine wisdom.
What a treat!! Thank you so much for this interview!! So thrilled to hear this side of Elvis and meet the sweet girl that Elvis fell for. I truly believe Elvis' life was guided by God from day one.
My cousin and her husband perished in a small plane crash in the same city (Clanton, AL on 06-23-1996) as the Blackwood Bros. Thanks for another informative video Billy! Love Miss Dixie!
@@SpaGuy They had been cleared for an emergency landing at the airport. Unfortunately, the left wing fell off (due to a fire) and they crashed 1.5 miles from the airport. 5 people were killed including my cousin and her husband. They had 2 young sons. It's our family's greatest loss.
Billy you did it again! 👏🏻👍🏻 just an absolutely fantastic & interesting interview! What a beautiful spiritual lady Dixi Is 🙏🏻🥰 💖 it’s amazing listening to her speaking of her most intimate & emotional times with Elvis. It’s was heart wrenching to hear about the time the Blackwood Brothers & Gladys’s passing. Such treasured memories 💙 I’m so glad that you have captured these memories from Elvis’ beautiful girlfriend. Thank you so very much for this Billy. You are a special person as You are bringing joy to millions of Elvis fans! 👑💙⚡️👍🏻🥰 I can’t wait for more one on one interviews with Dixi & yourself.
What wonderful stories from Dixie and she is right there are not a lot of people left with their memories of Elvis. Also, you have showed us so much and went to so many places that we would never know about so I thank you for that. And I love when you use the “glory”.
She is such a sweet lady, I can totally see why Elvis was drawn to her. And yes, you 'tightened up', standing on the same side as Elvis did in some of the photos. I sure love watching your gathering of history that others don't seem to notice or remember, you know, the small things, the frame, the foundation of the whole 'Elvis Experience'. Thank you!
What an amazing stories about Dixie and Elvis . I'm so glad she did this interview with you . I have always wondered if Elvis ever tried to go to chuch once he became famous and now I know . That's wonderful !! Thank you Miss Dixie and Spa Guy !! Loved it !! I can't wait for the next interview with her .
Not going to Church, for the sake of not being disruptive, must have been very hard for Elvis. He obviously loved Church. If he felt that he could have continued going to Church and had gone on a regular basis his life very likely would have played out quite differently.
Hey Billy! I have thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Dixie, and hope you are able to meet with her again sometime. You seriously tightened up on this one, lol.
This whole series is outstanding! I won't forget this wonderful lady and look forward to more when you get together with her again. Thanks you, so much, Billy!! You know how much I appreciate you for all you share with us. I'm going to need a much bigger 'wall' to put the rest of the puzzle together! lol You're the man- ALWAYS TCB! :-)
Hello my friend i just loved all 3 videos just fantastic, i think its great that Dixie is finally starting to tell the stories she shared with Elvis.but i appreciate so much that she has its a nice change. Also i appreciate so much that you take the time to do these videos without yourself all this wouldnt be possible so thankyou very much. Russ
Very excellent ending to a wonderful 3 part series. I always love watching these types of videos and learning new things about the subject that I had never known. Thanx to Dixie, the Oxleys, and to you SpaGuy for bringing this to us. Excellent job, my friend. Take care.
Hi Billy 😊, Wow another awesome part of the interview, very much enjoyed this, thanks for sharing with us! Thank you 😊 Dixie for sharing your fond ❤️ memories of Elvis, I so appreciate you! Looking forward to future video's with Dixie!. Smiles 😁 your friend Bonnie
What a lovely lady. So glad we have her stories. She spoke about the all night shows at the Ellis Auditorium…my uncle is Robert Ellis, and the auditorium was named after his grandfather. My uncle tells a story about being at a Memphis party that Elvis attended. This would have been in the days he lived on Audobon. He said he was very polite but quiet/shy. I’m sure it was daunting for Elvis, as this set of folks would have been very old school-moneyed Memphis. I’m thinking this could have even have been the party @ the Pigeon’s, as my uncle knew them and he says they were including him because he was sort of “new to the neighborhood.” Probably not the best fit for him friend-wise and can understand why he was ready to move to Graceland. Anyway, just some small tidbits. Thank you to Dixie for these stories and to you Billy for capturing them!
Fantastic three part story, and what a lovely lady, you always do a really great job Billy and I have loved listening to Dixie, thanks for this and all the hard you put into you're videos. Cant wait for the next one,,,
Sweet memories. When I Iived in Bangkok from 2000-04, I remember seeing a large vintage Elvis billboard, and there was an Elvis impersonator show in the city.
Barbara private what great story's to be had following that story up billy all the stories to be remembered where they went to the church great journey to walk through the park in and around the seat where they stoped to take time for the sadness been had god bless I dont no the Blackwood's but they were a great by the sound of them god bless thinking of them
What a lovely woman Dixie Locke is. She was a good influence on Elvis and I believe he really cared for her. Dixie still to this day holds Elvis in high standards and speaks highly of him!
What a beautiful, sweet, Christian lady Dixie is! I would love to meet her, not because of Elvis, but because of who she is. Thank you so much for this wonderful video, I enjoyed it very much.
Wayne Doyle imagine the Stories Spa Guy could do to continue the legacy of Elvis if he had access to the archives at Graceland and EPE...Listen to the fans EPE & Graceland.. we would like you guys to Bring Spa Guy on the team at EPE to film videos for The fans to enjoy and the films to exist forever for future generations to learn the interesting life stories of Elvis Presley!
You just can’t help but fall in love with her. I was at Elvis week 2017 and I saw her and Priscilla on stage together holding hands and Priscilla saying how Elvis always spoke so fondly of Dixie and would talk about her. You could see Priscilla and Dixie’s bond. Thank you so much for this. I just love Dixie.
I have a lot of respect for Dixie Locke, she’s never added any frills to her retelling over the years, never tried to add insight she didn’t have, she’s absolutely lovely and no wonder a young Elvis liked her so much.
I thoroughly agree
Real genuine no wonder Elvis & Gladys liked her isn’t it.not pretending to be anyone she isn’t.Dixie your so lovely.smart to.love the lemon jacket.
Perfect observation!! I fully trust and believe her.
I believe his gospel music still leads others to the Lord too. He was a one of a kind
The picture of Elvis and Dixie at the prom or whatever they were at, is typical of his blinding smile. His smile could stop a train, as well as any heart in its tracks.
What a beautiful, sweet lady. The love & joy of the lord shines brightly from her💛 I could listen to her talk all day! And I do believe even though Elvis did a lot of searching he knew who to call on with his last breath .. he knew his maker WELL!! He knew Jesus Christ is king 👑

No wonder Elvis loved her so much. She's very warm and respectful, such a sweet lady.
So Dixie wondered if Elvis would ever get over the passing of his Mother since he was so devastated. Just as we fans always felt also.

Happy Memorial Day to you all!
Thanks for the beautiful interview with a beautiful Christian lady. Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth bless you all. John 3:16.

Awwww she was EPs reminder of his roots and innocence. His high school sweetheart. Im sure she prayed for him a lot. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Just a lovely lady so down to earth glad that she was part of Elvis life
Super interview Billy. I see why Elvis liked her so much, she's a special lady and classy and sure doesn't look 80! Looking forward to more interviews with you and Dixie. Thanks Billy for your love of Elvis and in bringing us along on your trips to have such insight on all things Elvis! I love hearing about those days gone by. Very special to me to learn even more about him. I've followed him since I was 9 years old. So many years of life and music and family I've enjoyed. Where we going next Billy? lol! 😄😊❤
Pastor Hamill was a wonderful pastor for all those years at First Assembly. I know that he met with Elvis and prayed with him because, he was feeling that the fame was pulling him away from his walk with the Lord. Elvis was conflicted. Our mutual friend Jill told me that when Miss Dixie was working at the church one day, a group of Asian tourists popped in because, they wanted to meet her. She was gracious and spent time with them. Loved this interview!!!
Dixie told me that story about the Asians as well so it is definitely true..
I told my friend Jill, that when I come to Memphis, that I wanted to meet Miss Dixie. She said, she would make the introduction. Now that Jill has gone on to heaven, I hope that I can still meet her someday soon.
What a sweet gracious lady! Thank you Billy for interviewing her.
I would love to hear the story about when they argued and Elvis tossed his class ring out the car window. Thank you so much for doing these. You are the man!
Thanks again Billy. Yes Dixie is righ Elvis is still a Bell sheep, he`s had a great influence on a lot of generations still today with his gospel music and with his personality.

Yes times ago. The death of these two people was such a shock and tragedy. To know( like Dixie and Elvis). Is to still shed a tear
Awesome interview series! These were the best questions ever asked and answered during ANY Elvis related interview! Especially, Pertaining from the Christian side of Elvis. I've always loved the Red Hubbard bell sheep story and only you can tighten up and give us this wonderful series Billy! Special thanks to you and the beautiful Ms. Dixie!
These are things we wanted to know right?? I know I did as a Christian and a fan..
They sure are Billy and I'm so thankful you asked them! Thanks for all you do my friend!

Hi Spa Guy another Home Run Great interview with Dixie Just shows how much of a Heart Elvis Had. Thanks again Joseph From NJ
Spa guy thanks for a wonderful interview. Dixie Locke is a beautiful and genuine lady. It is so wonderful to know Elvis loved Jesus so much. I love the way you fill in his life before he became famous. All the southern people are so genuine. The part Dixie told us about Elvis after his mom had died was moving for me, because it showed the true feelings of Elvis's heart. He felt obligated to people. I remember hearing a story that said after his mom had died he would give it all up if he could have his mom back. Dixie has priceless memories of Elvis that no one else can have. She has beautiful memories. Thanks again Mr Spa guy, you make wonderful videos.
Lovely lady inside and out. Thank you Mr. Spa Guy for the most interesting interview with Ms Dixie Locke Emmons. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing such interviews to we the Elvis fans. I really would like to sit and listen to her stories for hours (with a cup of coffee), lol ! Happy Memorial Day. Thank you for your service Mr. Spa Guy. Keep tightening up and be safe in your adventures. Lord bless.
Elvis was indeed a bell sheep, everyone wanted to be like him and be around him all the time. What a great humble polite beautiful man who influenced everyone in the whole world.
Wonderful interview with a wonderful lady. Thank you Dixie for sharing your Elvis memories with us. It eases my mind to know Elvis had the Lord in his heart. Now I'm sure he is in heaven. Thank you Billy for this interview and all you do for us. You are truly a blessing. 💓💓💓
Dixie Locke is a lovely lady. Thank you for another great interview. I really enjoyed this very much.
Great job my friend! What a wonderful lady! Much love from your neighboring County of Wilson. We are proud of you buddy. GOD BLESS YOU
I really enjoys all three of the stories she told you. It was a real joy meeting Elvis's first girlfriend. I could listen to these wonderful stories all day long. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching the future interviews you get with Miss Dixie . Thank you Miss Dixie for letting the Spa Guy interview you about our Elvis. God bless 😇
Without the fame he could have married her and settled down to a normal, devout Chistian life. He might well have become a pastor.
However God allowed a different path for him, in His divine wisdom.
Thank you for these amazing interviews what a wonderful lady
What a treat!! Thank you so much for this interview!! So thrilled to hear this side of Elvis and meet the sweet girl that Elvis fell for. I truly believe Elvis' life was guided by God from day one.
Great three part interview and she is a very kind and sincere lady.
Many thanks for your hard work SPA GUY.
My cousin and her husband perished in a small plane crash in the same city (Clanton, AL on 06-23-1996) as the Blackwood Bros.
Thanks for another informative video Billy! Love Miss Dixie!
Wow sorry for your loss.. Was it the same airport?
@@SpaGuy They had been cleared for an emergency landing at the airport. Unfortunately, the left wing fell off (due to a fire) and they crashed 1.5 miles from the airport. 5 people were killed including my cousin and her husband. They had 2 young sons. It's our family's greatest loss.
@@GeorgiesMom723 That is horrible so sorry that happened..
@@SpaGuy Thank you Billy.
Billy you did it again! 👏🏻👍🏻 just an absolutely fantastic & interesting interview!
What a beautiful spiritual lady Dixi Is 🙏🏻🥰
💖 it’s amazing listening to her speaking of her most intimate & emotional times with Elvis.
It’s was heart wrenching to hear about the time the Blackwood Brothers & Gladys’s passing.
Such treasured memories 💙 I’m so glad that you have captured these memories from Elvis’ beautiful girlfriend. Thank you so very much for this Billy.
You are a special person as You are bringing joy to millions of Elvis fans! 👑💙⚡️👍🏻🥰
I can’t wait for more one on one interviews with Dixi & yourself.
Well said.😉 god blessings to you.
What wonderful stories from Dixie and she is right there are not a lot of people left with their memories of Elvis. Also, you have showed us so much and went to so many places that we would never know about so I thank you for that. And I love when you use the “glory”.
She is such a sweet lady, I can totally see why Elvis was drawn to her.
And yes, you 'tightened up', standing on the same side as Elvis did in some of the photos.
I sure love watching your gathering of history that others don't seem to notice or remember, you know, the small things, the frame, the foundation of the whole 'Elvis Experience'. Thank you!
What an amazing stories about Dixie and Elvis . I'm so glad she did this interview with you . I have always wondered if Elvis ever tried to go to chuch once he became famous and now I know . That's wonderful !! Thank you Miss Dixie and Spa Guy !! Loved it !! I can't wait for the next interview with her .
Not going to Church, for the sake of not being disruptive, must have been very hard for Elvis. He obviously loved Church. If he felt that he could have continued going to Church and had gone on a regular basis his life very likely would have played out quite differently.
Hey Billy! I have thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Dixie, and hope you are able to meet with her again sometime. You seriously tightened up on this one, lol.
This whole series is outstanding! I won't forget this wonderful lady and look forward to more when you get together with her again. Thanks you, so much, Billy!! You know how much I appreciate you for all you share with us. I'm going to need a much bigger 'wall' to put the rest of the puzzle together! lol You're the man- ALWAYS TCB! :-)
Great stuff, she is a lovely lady.

Such a precious interview. So touching. Could not help but cry.
I admit it , it made me cry too . A little sad , but proud of Elvis and Miss Dixie at the same time . 😢❤
Great interview, shows the human Elvis. Great series of 3 parts. Nice lady. Love all your background research. Thanks Spa Guy!!!!
Sweet Lady!! Pilamaya (Thank You) Spa Guy!! And for taking us to the park!!
Loved all three parts ! Very interesting and what a sweet lady Thank you Billy I enjoyed this
Very excellent ending to a wonderful 3 part series. I always love watching these types of videos and learning new things about the subject that I had never known. Thanx to Dixie, the Oxleys, and to you SpaGuy for bringing this to us. Excellent job, my friend. Take care.
What a great interview and a beautiful lady. no wonder Elvis loved her so.
Mr. Billy thanks again. Thanks for bring more to the table than just the image the public show. I’m a huge fan!
Hi Billy 😊, Wow another awesome part of the interview, very much enjoyed this, thanks for sharing with us! Thank you 😊 Dixie for sharing your fond ❤️ memories of Elvis, I so appreciate you! Looking forward to future video's with Dixie!. Smiles 😁 your friend Bonnie
What a lovely lady. So glad we have her stories. She spoke about the all night shows at the Ellis Auditorium…my uncle is Robert Ellis, and the auditorium was named after his grandfather. My uncle tells a story about being at a Memphis party that Elvis attended. This would have been in the days he lived on Audobon. He said he was very polite but quiet/shy. I’m sure it was daunting for Elvis, as this set of folks would have been very old school-moneyed Memphis. I’m thinking this could have even have been the party @ the Pigeon’s, as my uncle knew them and he says they were including him because he was sort of “new to the neighborhood.” Probably not the best fit for him friend-wise and can understand why he was ready to move to Graceland. Anyway, just some small tidbits. Thank you to Dixie for these stories and to you Billy for capturing them!
A great series. She is such a sweet person.
Thankyou so much Billy for all your hard work,God bless0
Oh my God ...beautiful memories , and very lucky woman ❤
