- Footsteps of Elvis Exhibition (largest exhibition outside Graceland) and interview with Elvis's stepbrother David Stanley
Watch more of our video's on www.FaceCulture.com and follow us on / _faceculture . FaceCulture had the honour to talk to David Stanley about his stepbrother Elvis. We heard all about Elvis' charisma, kindness, pride, music, drug use and more. David Stanley explained what it was like to be Elvis' personal aid and bodyguard and to live at Graceland. He even took us back in time to that terrible day in August 1977. (26/08/2005)
Elvis Presley was a good man!!!
Love hearing from people who actually knew Elvis personally
I saw three interviews with this step brother not his blood brother but his step brother I don't like him
he needs to get a real job and by Priscilla not being around him and Jerry not being around him says a hell of a lot about this guy's character he's gold digger like his mother we love you Elvis still don't worry this guy is not going to change our mind about you he accused you of committing suicide which is not accurate
The only reason why I Elvis gave you a job because he felt sorry for you when he loved his father please I had enough I don't want to listen to you anymore or ever see any of your interviews again you're not worth my time good riddance to bad rubbish

Lisa has no contact with any of brothers for obvious good reasons.
Memories fade. The truth will never be known now.. David isn't a bad person and remembers it like he does..
What a really good interview from someone who knew Elvis so very well, his stepbrother David Stanley.
Hello from England
ELVIS died 2 days before my 12th birthday. I have been a FAN ever since
Watching lots of videos about ELVIS and his "backstory" they make me think so much more of the years that have "flown by"
No one knows REALLY WHAT WENT ON then only those that were there and with time and memories "stories" become a little less rememberable
You cannot blame anyone except ELVIS and really he got into situations he could not get out of.
He was ILL and knew it. Gladys died young with ailments and with genetics she passed them on to Elvis
To many people are still making money for telling stories about Elvis. Why can't they ever concentrate on all of the good things Elvis did instead of how much medicine he took. He was the best entertainer of all times. Elvis had so much on him. I honestly think that if Linda Thompson would have been at Graceland on that sad day that Elvis would have been saved because everyone said she kept such a close eye on Elvis and that she didn't sleep until Elvis was asleep. I know that Elvis wouldn t have laid on the br floor until 2:30 in the afternoon. Elvis welcomed all 3 of the Stanley brother's into his home and treated them with love, generosity and kindness. This is the one thing that all 3 of the brothers agree on. I know that Elvis cared for kids very much and he knew that the kids were there because his father had decided to remarry. Elvis was only 25 when they came to Graceland but he was still man enough to realize that they were just kids and needed to be treated with love and care. It was hard for Elvis because he loved his Mother so much but Elvis was a real man and didn t take it out on the kids. I love the story about Elvis buying all of them a yard full of new toys the first day after they arrived at Graceland. What an awesome and generous man Elvis was.
Oh I don't think they could say if Linda was there it would have been different!
There should be praise from David. Personal family business should be treated with respect and anything unbecoming should be respectfully kept private.
I think that Elvis just wore himself out. Heart trouble ran in his family. I think too much emphasis is placed on his drug use. He had a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, more than most people could handle. All the people around him would have been nobody without him. No telling how many people he was supporting. I believe he was totally worn down and just kept going till he dropped over.
Trudy R , I believe that too . Plus he was having trouble with his intestines . Maybe if he could have took the time to have had that taken care of it would have saved his life also . I know the drugs were way to much too . I think the people that loved him and knew him personally did try to help him . He was just in denial that he had a problem with the pills . I think he knew it was a problem , but maybe he didn't know how to ask for help or he was just too ashamed to ask for help . Bless his heart !! Who knows ..... what's done is done and there's nothing we can do about it now . I just pray he's at peace now . I sure do love Elivs and miss him though !! See you soon Elivs in Heaven !!
I agree 💯 everybody around Elvis we're using a taking advantage of this loving kind humble hearted man that loved His fans people a Goda his family. Elvis Presley was a care taker a supported so many people. All they did was use him a take advantage of his kind Genoristy. He needed to know w actions how much he was loved a appreciated they all should got togather a threw him an loving appreciated party Elvis needed to hear how special a loved he was when he was here. Not just to be rembered to make money on his name a memory. I believe there were a still are so much lies a cover ups.
I totally agree with you. Elvis took care of everyone until he couldn't anymore. It is tragic and sad.
So much was expected of this man , and he gave so much for so long , he just didn't have anymore to give , they all just slowly bled him to death .
I believe you're right but I think it's also the fact that he was extra sensitive sentimental loving and when that happens to an individual they feel things in a very intensified way and also initially he shared this to Linda Thompson another sensitive soul that he was intrinsically lonely and some of us can identify with this plus the fact that he was overwhelmed with his responsibilities and catered 2 so. A lot of this contributed to his isolation plus his intrinsic sensitive naturewood manifested in this beautiful voice and his demeanor. It seems to me like everything else was symptomatic of that delicate soul and people were attracted to this beautifulness of his heart and we could identify with his emotions within the lyrics of the songs and the fact that he selected when he selected the best songs showed his great intuition and selecting the best songs for himself once he realized it. So it's like he is boyfriend dad husband friend xcetera all in one magically all around when up with his protector which will be our protector and we are all are one and that is why we identify so much with this person . selected by God 2 touches us as we are all from the s a m e s o u r c e
You were 21 when Elvis died....
I've seen enough on Elvis in my lifetime to be able to
Understand Elvis and to know Elvis.. My opinion only.
There ain't a normal soul who could not love him
For his music and love...
That being said ... Who are you??
I love you Elvis presley
I love love elvis but cilla has protected him for years with lawyers elvis did kill himself I belive that night his mind could not take that of what people were going to say even lisa has said her mother has gone above and beyond at protecting him that's with lawyers I'm sure
You were at 1 thousand shows David. I doubt it And what did I hear you say. Your still not a huge fan You got a a lot of Gaul for that comment. You and your brother Ricky were bringing the drugs to him. Remember that. Every time you open your mouth the stories change. Red & sonny say he never called you his little brothers. Rather. Dee’s little brats.
Legend has it that his mother Dee was playing for Elvis but settled for the dad Vernon instead. Elvis hated her and didn't attend Dee and Vernon's wedding.
its really sad that they need Elvis to be somebody to others.
He wasn’t there when Elvis died !!! He wasn’t on duty, Al Strada was the first upstairs, then Joe. David likes to put himself in the center of everything .He actually arrived as the ambulance was leaving.
He has a number of stories relating to that day. He also stated he was playing pool and then ran upstairs. A site called elvisdecoded goes through all the ‘inconsistencies’ of David and other Stanley brothers.
About, _he arrived when the ambulance was leaving_ ...well thats a bit tricky. 'Cus Davids car, his Datsun, can be seen ( in the Ambulance footage) entering Graceland and continuing up the driveway, and the ambulance is still there.
I heard he was in a motel down the street when he was supposed to be on duty.
Exactly they allll lie ! Learned it from their mother
That's right. He wasn't there.
Not a Elvis fan? What? Are you crazy all those years with him? That's sad! I can't believe he just said that!😢
Thanks a very nice nterview .
They all shared their story about Elvis as good in their own way they new him
Why are people complaining so much? Is there something about the man I don't know? Because here he is not trashing Elvis, he does praise him and is empathetic. Others have talked about the drug abuse, so he is simply being honest. His account of Elvis' death is consistent with that of Joe Esposito and Ginger, of him being dead a while before he was found. Even Lisa, as young as she was, spoke about him being very unhappy and helping him stand up. I admire his honesty.
Hello penelope im Michael Phipps how r u doin i know an i can prove Elvis Aron Presley faked his own death with the help of everybody that for an with him he's one of the most kind-hearted man ive ever known every other famous person could've treated other people like Elvis has f they would like ive said many times before Elvis was always helpin others less fortunate than himself me an Elvis still keeps n touch every now an then yes i know where Elvis' lives no im not tellin anybody we that's bout it for now for free for any comment email me at 931335-1868

Michael Phipps any takers yet?
Penelope O' Donnell David, and the rest of his brothers along with his Mother had their own very bad book about Elvis come out soon after Elvis’ death called, ‘Elvis, We Love You Tender’. Many felt that it was nasty. Plus he keeps changing his tone on different things..
@@michaelphipps5066 how bout u fk yrself for FREE🖕🖕
Your family was so unworthy of knowing Elvis he was not your brother its hard just hearing you speak his name
You can be in room with alot of people and feel alone inside...
How can u remember so much at 4 year old I’m 44 can’t remember that much at 4 think he just talking to make it sound good lol
c'mon give him a break he was Elvis stepbrother and grew up with him that's all he seen loved and witness as a child to the day Elvis died he's not a blood sucking dollers hes telling the truth how elvis live like at s fast paced to the 70s when drugs was his buzz or high doing concerts and holding the king image i believe he missed his brother that's what family go through and the hood job he's doing is sharing personal hurt and joy he had with his brother
Very nice upload.....thanks.:):)
his honesty is great
GOOD INTERVIEW ! FRIDAY 6/7/24 JUNE 7, 2024
I think they were all stoned that early morning when some should of checked on him
If I said Elvis great grandpa was married into my family in Tennessee would anyone believe me ?
I mean, it wouldn't be that surprising or that big of a deal... Lots of people can trace family connections and wind up the husband of a woman who's mother's stepdad's brother married Elvis' great aunt or something...
At 4:53 he said ….I’m not a huge Elvis fan 🤣😂
Elvis was not Protestant.. Elvis was raised Assembly of God ,Full Gospel, Holly Roller....
The Assembly of God church is Protestant. Elvis WAS a protestant!
Artist today still have not learnt on how hooked on drugs takes you to an early grave Elvis was lonely because he never found
True love he womenise all his life he was sick of being trapped in fame in the u s he in the end didn't care about himself he didn't want to live
He wasn't happy like David Stanley said because he hated the look at himself that's why there's not much film in the late 70s
It a tragic life story of a poor boy who had nothing and to having millions the one person he devoted loved and listen to was his mom
Who sadley died when he was only 23 if she would of lived Elvis would still be alive today
Listen, Elvis was a fun loving, generous, happy, spiritual man. He loved being "Elvis Presley". He was NOT sad and lonely. He had serious pain from a problem with his enlarged colon and the medication he was prescribed for this condition made him look swollen and puffy on some days, other days he looked great. Just look at his photo with Ginger on the front of her book taken in 1977.
Al Strada was the first one who found him dead,not Joe.
The story is that Ginger found him and called Joe ASAP.
David Stanley telling us it straight . The truth hurts but it comes out in the end. Elvis was human and all the more loved for his frailties.
Esteve Jame he tell lies. He rusty
Umm , he said he had to save him several times . I've heard Linda had to save him a couple of times . I've heard JD Sumner say , he had to save him before . I've heard the Memphis Mafia say that one of Elvis' young girlfriends had to save him one time . Then I heard Dr. Nick had to save him one time by putting a shot right into his carotid artery to save him . My goodness so....how many times did people have to save him ?!! Are these stories accurate ? Who really telling the truth ? Also , he said his mom was divorced from his real dad , but I heard that she was in an abusive relationship and she tried to go for Elivs at first . That was going to work , so she married Vernon instead . I heard she wasn't divorced yet from her first husband , so which is the truth ? Was she divorced from her first husband or not ? There's so many stories , I can't keep up with it all. I'm thinking gosh...this man was only 42 years old when he died . He sure did do a lot in his life time in just a short amount of time . Elivs will always be an amazing person though . He will always be loved and missed . I just pray he's at peace now .
Dee was still married when she met Vernon ,left her husband then they got married. I ve read Elvis didn't like her but tolerated her .He had issues w health a good book to read about his health & family is " Destined to die young " by Sally Hodel & " Last Train to Memphis " was a good one too .
I ve been learning about Elvis since last year .Iam NOT an expert at all ,not a die hard fan either , just wanted to know who he was as a person.Books have really helped, along w Utube & documentaries . Hope this kinda helped 😌 ya out
Elvis LOATHED Dee. Felt his father betrayed his mother's memory by Vernon marrying her. The fights got so bad at Graceland between Elvis and his father that Elvis bought Vernon & Dee a house a block away.
Completely untrue!!
LOL....agreed!
Thanks David
Love this enterview
Elvis's DNA was not going to let him live on Past 45
What's with people hating on David Stanley?
I get it, he and many other people take their past experience (being a part of Elvis' inner circle) and make money from it, but why not? Supply and demand!
As far as who's telling the truth and who's making stuff up, it's virtually impossible for anyone to know for sure, even the people involved. While I can only imagine experiences with Elvis stood out at the time and were memorable enough to stick around for decades after, I think ANYONE trying to recall a story from years or decades ago is going to be accurate in some ways an inaccurate in others. Rather than accuse these people of being frauds or liars, could it be that they're just human and doing the same thing any human would do? Don't we all have different recollections of events in the past? Get a group of your own friends or family to tell the story of a time you all did something together (an event you all attended, an experience you shared) and there will probably be contradictions and differences in everyone's story.
When it comes to something like learning about the life of Elvis, rather than saying "This person is telling the truth and this other person is full of shit", as long as the individuals were actually there (not someone claiming without evidence that they were there) I think the best way to approach it is to take the different stories and look for the overlap if you're looking for the core of the truth. All of the other details may be fuzzy and slightly distorted, whether unintentionally or intentionally for the sake of making a story more powerful.
At the end of the day, we'll never be able to know what REALLY happened since we weren't there. I would rather have dozens of different accounts from a variety of people who were part of his life and make up my own mind about what I believe/don't believe than nothing, so if these people were/are able to make a living sharing their stories because the demand is there and people are willing to pay, why not? We all get more information to sift through, and it keeps the mystique of Elvis going, which is fun and entertaining too...
I agree. As long as they aren't lying and making stuff up to sell books I'm fine with it.
Agree keep an open mind cause there's alot of stories out there for sure lol
David, Ricky and their Mother Dee told so many lies about Elvis just to make money. Billy Stanley is the only one who hasn't lied about Elvis just to make money. Elvis is still so loved and missed by so many of us. Billy is nothing like his brothers or Mom. This is one of the nice interviews that he has done about Elvis. When he came out with Elvis' Women Elvis fans were so upset with him. So upset the he made a public apology.
David was stoned out of his mind the day Elvis died!!!!!!
Barb Goodwin , he was ?
Gayle Gardiner contact with local or inner circle?
You are thinking about his brother Rick!! Who has repented!
@@carolbell8008 repented for what exactly?
I thought Elvis made his daddy and new wife move out of Graceland.
Yes he did & they had a house behind Graceland
I don't know the reason, but Vernon and Dee lived in a house on the street back of Graceland, their back yard up against Graceland's yard. It could have been for their privacy. But, come to think of it, I've heard no stories about Dee and Elvis like her boys tell, and I wonder who the third brother was and how he fit in. No mention of him. I've always wondered, also, about Priscilla's family, did they visit,? Were they ever around?
Elvis...
strange, this is the guy who in 1979 said on 20/20 that elvis commited suicied...no mention of it here
The only person acknowledging Stanley at the death scene was Stanley. He wasn’t there and is a liar.
Didn't he do a book with Albert Goldman? Glad I don't have relatives like that
An enabler.....
Thought David drove up drive and seen Billy Smith and Smith said take me to the hospital David Elvis there here here David says he was in house something not right with story's big time why why
I’ve loved Elvis since I was a child... he died because his body could not cope with the amount of prescribed drugs he took on a daily basis for years...this basically & eventually caught up with him.... this is Fact! ... end of story... but Elvis lives on through his dedicated fans! 🙏🏻👑❤️
Elvis abused prescription drugs, but we really don't know what killed him and it certainly wasn't a normal drug overdose. While a seizure and/or the techniques he used to deal with his twisted colon are far more likely suspects to have triggered his having a massive heart attack.
im not sure what i want to no of you but im lost and just finding myself not ur problem but from what i no is could i interview you about life with elvis
Elvis fans, watch the video on UA-cam titled " You Ain't No Brother' that was put out to this man after he badmouthed Elvis'.
Maybe if ya'll would read the books ok by Davids' brother Brother Billy, Elvis,My Brother you might understand their family life better
More more more money that s what its all about
I don;t think so.
Yep I think Dave's full of shit
LOL
I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire
It's terrific to hear good things about Elvis from David Stanley and he's a good preacher God bless you and your family 👪 😊 🙏
Boy oh boy, watching "Priscilla" makes me realize how, I think, they cut you and your family out of the viewing of the 68 special. Boo Hoo...how courage you are to still be apart of the Graceland organization. God Bless you David.
Amo elvis però mettete in italiano
How do you know he wasn't there were you there
Didn't he make enough money writing trashy books with Albert Goldman? Don't like this guy.
😢 #tandolls757
Evidentally Elvis had an addiction genetic factor since he couldn't reduce the drugs early in his life. After Elvis developed physical issues he needed meds for pain. The latest research states that he had an auto immune disorder which attacks your organs. So his life became even more difficult. Hate it for Elvis❤
Comments below....... show that some people can't handle the truth...... Fan = fanatic.
If you mean the "truth" that this evangelist/conman speaks then you are very wrong. He has made his money by selling his lies about Elvis, everyone knows this. Except you.
I don’t think anything he said was dishonest though.
Steven Ward he is a lying trash !
LINDA THOMPSON SAVED HIS LIFE MANY TIMES NOT YOU DAVID
Yes, she did. I love Linda, and I know that if Linda would have been there on 8-16-77 Elvis wouldn't have layed on the floor from 9:30 until 2:30 in the afternoon.
@@brendabooher6683 AND HE WOULDN'T OF BEEN LEFT TO THOSE LEACHES
@@brendabooher6683 IF MAKES YOU WONDER IF SHE WAS EVEN THERE TILL HE WAS FOUND
How do you know he didn’t? Were you there? Geeeezzz! 🙄
@@veep2240 MY UNCLE WAS THRE
PRISCILLA PRESLEY WAS IN THE AUDIENCE WHEN TAPED HE IS TAKING WORDS GLADYS USED
Didnt Stanley brothers deliver prescription drugs from whoever Dr to Elvis? How he didnt know about it? Rick and David did fedex delivery to Elvis n trolley girl service to Elvis nighttime service. Thats what they got hired for. Using young cute guys made easier to recruite young girls from downstairs Vegas to his suite. Rick called it Trolley.
I JUST love how they all are making money off of him as Well as his ex wife..
Was your mom really divorced at that time ?? Ha ha ha. Oh let me think maybe a little later. Lol
Priscilla is the mom of Lisa Marie honey
How is that bad?
Don't trust anything these brothers say they change there stories all the tip
There's a reason why this family isn't around Memphis for Elvis's birthday or Elvis week. They come up with stories for money. He's a professional liar.
He give ginger a tablet for pain knowing it would make her sleep he knew the others would be or he made sure they were stoned and would sleep so so so so big opatunity the man was in fear for the next day
Is David still alive?
I never knew Elvis cancelled shows due to drug abuse. So sad. This guy talks so frankly about how Elvis died, a little to graphic for me.
Joe described it the same. That rigor mortis had set in. etc.
David Stanley grew up in Elvis' family from 4 years old. If you have'nt read any of the true stories written about Elvis' family or listened to the you tube interviews of family members, or his Mafia friends, you can't make a judgment of him. It's too complex. Inform yourself on those who surrounded Elvis and keep an open mind.
+MyEllenrose who are YOU to judge us on what we know?
lol i think your confused on the context of the friends and bodyguards of Elvis why they were called the Memphis mafia.
100% agree open mind is key
Parasite: a person who habitually relies on or exploits others and gives nothing in return
perfectly describes the Alden family of pigs
Wow, I just love jealous people, lol!
I changed my view once I learned about Lisa Marie’s feelings towards these brothers. They are also asking for big donations on a website for a movie they claim to have had in production for decades. Why is it so expensive to donate to those guys?
Good grief He was not your brother!
David always clearly states "by marriage." And Elvis welcomed him in as family, as brother, so let that be.
Elvis’ manager, Col. Tom Parker, said in a press conference shortly
after his death: “Elvis didn’t die. The body did. We’re keeping up the
good spirits. We’re keeping Elvis alive. I talked to him this morning
and he told me to 'carry on.’” (Elvis did not die and he wanted out. -
Col. Tom Parker. 1977) After hearing so many stories about the death of
Elvis Presley, I have decided to tell the world the real story on the
facts concerning that day in August, 1977. Yes, that day, the 16th of
August. Is it a coincidence that a person born on that January 8, first
month, eighth day, would perish on the 8th month and the 16th day?
Probably if two (2) people were born on that day it makes more sense.
You see, numerology always played an important part of my life and still
does today. So many people have written or spoke about my death as a
hoax. It was not a hoax! I decided to reinvent myself in the form of my
brother (Jesse Garon) and yes, Elvis Presley did die that day. But after
much searching for the right people, I found several people from
different states who I consider my most loyal and trustworthy friends.
To some people this book will be just another scandalous piece of
fiction, but when you are done I think you will think otherwise. I
always felt my brother deserved to live and what better way to let him
live his life than to end mine. I was lonely, depressed, in bad health
and my numerology chart said that this was the time for it to come to
end. Anyone who studies numerology will understand, those who don't may
want to look into it. All of the facts (and there are many) even the
experts will say they are more than coincidences. I no longer give away
Cadillacs or expensive pieces of jewelry because I am nothing more than a
man who had a very famous brother. I am not a great literate (I never
wrote my own songs), but I am not illiterate either. The perfect day
August 16, 1977, 1 + 9 + 7 + 7 = 24, my age backwards (42), the facts go
on and on. But my true reasons for the book are for my fans. My death
was not a hoax! To my fans, please forgive me, my brother deserved to
live, he was with me constantly (spiritually). My life would not be the
same had he lived at birth. This was my way of giving him life, and
corny as it sounds. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. He was a
loyal friend. But I will no longer stand by and have people like Gail
Brewer tell you stories that are pure fiction. This book written by a
true friend will help you realize why I did what I did. - The Truth
About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). My fascination with
the idea of a hoax about death was when Jim Morrison died July 3rd,
1971. Although I saw no correlation (he died at age 27) I was astounded
that as famous as he was the body was just closed up and shipped out.
Now I don't know all the facts concerning his death. I thought it
awfully strange that no autopsy was performed (or so I thought) and just
forgotten about. There were a lot of rumors about his death. I noticed
he was born on the 8th day. Born in 1944 = 1-8 and died in 1971 = 1-8.
Remember my comeback in 1968? 1+9+6+8 = 24. Obviously, I was no longer
24, so I reversed the age to 42. The next time that number had any
relevance was 1977 (1+9+7+7 = 24 when I would be 42. Numerology can and
does play an important part of my life and we knew that would have to be
the date. Most people if they know what to look for will find
significance in the forms of numbers in all of my movies! Example:
gravestone in " Loving You" (year) 1878 = ? (1+8+7+8 = 24). You have to
look at the movies. My hero James Dean died at the age of 24, but I was
on top of the world then and wanted to live. - The Truth About Elvis
Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). I will start about 1974 when the
thought first came to me about faking my death. I have always been
fascinated with the occult and other spiritual things. When I first saw a
wax dummy of myself made by a Mr. Cooper I was fascinated with it. For
some time I had thought if it was possible? Could I pull this thing off?
I had asked Mr Cooper if he could make another wax dummy for me. He
said he could. I in turn said I wanted him to do it and keep it strictly
confidential. When I had mentioned it to a very few close friends (Joe
Esposito, Larry Geller) they did not think I was serious. I was tired of
being Elvis Presley, my health was deteriorating. I just couldn't keep
up. My finances were floundering because of my daddy's poor business
ventures. I was at my wit's end. As the years progressed I had my ups
and downs which are pretty well documented in other books. I also had
two detectives from Colorado who I trusted immensely. Originally the
date was 1976 according to my numerology charts but I chickened out. A
pact was made on the grounds of Graceland one night, hands placed over
hands that this secret would never be spoken of outside this room. I
picked four (4) of us initially and to this day all have kept the
secret. I also know when this book reaches the bookstores people (my
loyal friends) will be heartbroken. They took care of me and convinced
others that I was no longer alive. In reality Elvis Presley died that
day and my twin brother "Jesse" came to life, living in hiding but as a
normal human being. I skip around because I am writing stream of
consciousness. My own Daddy bless his soul never knew the truth. Little
Lisa was told months later and explained to her she would not see me
much. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. Many people believe me
to still be alive but I was told in the beginning there would be no
contact in order for this to work. I go thru a lot of ups and downs
since 1977 and have lived in many states but I insisted I needed to be
in a warm climate. My personal thoughts are that my fans will
understand. That is very important to me. I just could not face myself
any more after seeing myself in the mirror and that is where Larry
Geller came in. He asked if he could write a book, and I gave him my
blessing. "If I Can Dream" is the title and I like his book. He had
filled my head with spiritual thoughts and made me believe we could pull
this off. If I had stayed longer I think I would have been booed off
the stage. That is why I chose the date 8-16-77. Do you know how many
famous people passed away on that date? The great Robert Johnson died on
8-16 and he was born in 1935! Babe Ruth, and Bela Lugosi and many
others. I must say I was very nervous that day 8-16. But it had to be
done before I went on the road where I would not have been able to pull
it off. Did you know there are secret compartments in Graceland that
very few people know about! A few like Vester would joke about my being
alive but no one took him serious. Many of my friends would ask if I
were still alive and they have their doubts but as it was I might have
died broke and just a shell of myself. I was given an injection that
looked like I was dead but the people closest to me knew better. Believe
me I had my doubts that this could be pulled off. But it did and I
became Jesse, just a poor white southern boy who didn't sing a lick of
anything. I feel bad my Daddy wasn't allowed to know but it just
couldn't be done. I better go now and collect my thoughts to tell you
the rest next time. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own
Words. (2001). You Found Me By Pastor Bob Joyce ua-cam.com/video/WUI7_rZpl8c/v-deo.html

Elvis Presley changed and talks about his past, but he has his fans in his mind....As you listen to Pastor Bob Joyce (Elvis) in this video when you go to 10:15 he hints about his life before! Interesting isn't it?
Here are the words that he says (go to 10:15 in the video):
"There is something about this man, that is so appealing to me. That I am not going to concern ... I'm not going to concern myself with what I was and what I had before. Because Jesus makes a difference in my life. There is something about Jesus that causes me not to even be so concerned about my life that I had before. Or my problems or whatever it is that I had in life. Suddenly things have changed, my mind has changed, my affections, my ah ... interests has changed. I'm not interested in how many fish I can catch today. I'm interested to see what Jesus is going to do next. Can you imagine walking with Jesus everywhere you went. Listen what I am telling you this morning is reality."

Look everyone who was close to Elvis wrote a tell all or gave damaging interviews. Ricky Stanley is no different. Ginger Alden knew him less than a year and wrote a book . I love Elvis but his behavior and addictions gave a lot of bad material for a tell all .
Yeah, Ginger lady hardly ever knew Elvis, esp late 76-77, Elvis wasnt himself..Not sure what she could write about Elvis,, At least Stanley brothers lived at Graceland for 17 yrs. Something to write about.. Elvis wasnt happy with Ginger anyway..She caused more misery to Elvis.
No thanks
Bla bla bla
Elvis did not die on August 16 1977 it was a cover up & he went into hiding, cuz if u look at his last pic when he was alive he was overweight & did not look well which was his last concert & u compaire that pic to the pic of him in his coffin there is a huge difference between the two cuz the pic in the coffin his face did look younger & healthier then it did when he was so called alive. So the body they buried was a wax dummy but they will never bring his coffin back up from the ground to prove it other wise. He might had died b4 now but it was not in 1977 we the public will never know.
Totally made up story. He died. Lisa Marie stated once she heard this made up story lots of times. Godbless the Presley’s may they Rest In Peace….
this is horse shit...Elvis IS ALIVE!
LOL
