This video is about The Spa Guy showing you where Elvis, Dixie, Louise and Gene Smith would double date in Memphis... Don't forget to subscribe..
These videos are enjoyable but, at the same time, a bit sad to see the lonely and neglected remains of the simple yet grand era that gave rise to the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
I love how the kids would follow Elvis with his guitar across the street. What a great and poignant story. Thanks Spa Guy. You’ve put a smile on my face first thing in the morning.
THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR PERMANENT HOME ALL WE HOLD DEAR SLIPS AWAY.......
Billy, I think Elvis would just love to be riding around with you now, doing all the Memphis places and such where he used to go. I just appreciate all that you do for us, because as an Elvis fan, my heart is in Memphis all the time, even though my body might not get back anymore, YOU take me around and I just love your detailed analysis! I have the same Garmin, and it's so neat to see you going to so many places that I didn't get a chance to go to that last time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. oh, yes...and I used to go to drive-in restaurants here in NIagara Falls in the '50's with carhops...I know what that was like. My brothers hung out there too, so I can picture Elvis doing that.
To see the original tile floor still there in fairly good shape after all these years is incredible! Wow!! Great video Billy!!! 👍👍👍
This was just plain AWESOME!! I would of just sat on the floor and think about a young Elvis hanging out and having fun. I would of taken half the floor tiles with me for memories . Lol loved your Elvis impersonation. Great vlog!!
Your little tours make me smile! Thank your wife for sharing you with us, your Elvis Memphis,Graceland friends!
It still amazes me the people who were Blessed to be a part of Elvis Presley's story.. RIP..God Bless
I smiled the whole time watching this...You take us on the best trips down Memory Lane! Thank you Spa Guy!
I can only imagine that sight Elvis in the parking lot singing and playing guitar Can some one build a time machine please
i used to sing and play in the mall they ran me off too it's nice to see that did not stop him it's hard to stop playing music when it's in your soul
Beautiful! I think I most enjoy Elvis stories from those earlier days. There is a certain kind of untained, organic feel to them.
Oops! Just saw my spelling error. I meant 'untainted'
I Think after reading all the books I have on Elvis he felt the same way too. He often talked with friends and ex-girlfriends about memory lane. I think that's what he loved about Memphis, made him still feel a sense of normalcy. In June Juanico's book she see's him in Vegas and he talked about them & 1956. The regrets and what could have been. So he felt it too. 😔 she is who gave him the prophet book by Khalil Gibran to help with his insomnia. When he dies she said that book was still on his night stand. I often think that was part of his connection to that book. His memories of then, her & a simple time. It made such an impression on him because of his age. 🥰
You never cease to amaze me of all the interesting things you discover about Elvis.
The wind is Elvis whispering to ya sayin "Keep it tight brother" lol,Love the videos
Hi 🙋 Spa guy! When you were showing, the empty lot ,of K's, I literally In visioned, Elvis ,Trixie, & Billy, walking into a noisy restaurant ! ☕☕ 🎸 Enjoyed this video! & thanks for all you do! Esther from N.Y 😄
Another fantastic video, I wish I lived in the US so I could visit all these areas as well as Graceland. I must admit I find all the earlier history just as fascinating as Graceland, thank you again Spa guy, ever thought of writing a book full of photos of all these areas etc, I know I'd buy it, keep the videos coming, thank you, thank you, very much 🎸 🎤 🎶🎵
No I couldn't imagine being there and ELVIS singing what a treat it would have been, MARTICIA
Hi Billy. Wow 😮 fantastic investigations as always and with back up stories from Louise .we so love it.just to set foot in all these places where Elvis had been & with Dixie.Gene & Louise beautiful.just beautiful. Would love me one of those tiles from the restaurant for sure. From across the pond.if one was to fall in your pocket please let me know. 😮👩🏼🌹🎸 Xx so appreciate all that you do sir.
Man how cool would it have been to see the neon sign version of the rolling lady?! Another Great video SG. You keep setting the bar.
Wow, amazing find! I like seeing the locations even though the buildings are not there anymore. It would have been so cool to be there during those old days. These are all great stories to document!
Wish they would have kept some of these buildings from ELVIS PRESLEY'S time what a waste,history is gone, thank you Billy for all of your time and hard work you do a fantastic job, grateful that you do what you do, MARTICIA
Thank you for showing us these sites. It always saddens me to see old architecture torn down and not maintained. People don't see value in restoration. Anything built before 1970's is worth restoring. (1970's through 80's building materials were horrible. Anything built with texture 111 needs to go.)
Your Elvis History Detective work is Ace- detailed and let us imagine what it was like when Elivis was hanging out with friends & family. Thank you Spa Guy-Elvis Detective.
Awesome video! Amazing that the floor is still there after all this time! Thanks for the pics and showing where things were back then. Can you imagine how they must have felt when Elvis made it big and then they knew they had ran him off. I hope they realized later who they ran off. Lol. Great car pics! Cute story how she backed into Gene. Lol. Thanks for another great video. Now we all get to see places Elvis had been. 🥰
Running Elvis 🕺 off for singing and playing guitar 🎸 was bad for business. Everyone followed him to another restaurant like the pied piper.
Long Haired Country Boy that’s a good point man...
I heard about Gene Smith writing a book but I didn't know if it was available yet or not I think it'd be a terrific read he's a very funny and nice man!
Can’t tell you how many times we went to Earls after a night out drinking!!!don’t share this lol!!!
Love the,I'm gonna look for this when I'm in Memphis in february
So cool! Wish I lived to see those earlier days, especially with Elvis 🖤🖤⚡
Its to bad places get torn down . That place,Ks would be a great place to visit and chow down. I visited Ft Campbell when I was in the army back in the early 70s trying to get emergency pay and someone took me over to where Elvis bunked. I was stationed at Ft Hood and the house he rented for a while was still there. Kinda magical, the feeling.
Thank you, Billy 🙏🏻✌🏻
Geez, Louise(And everyone else.) That is some more Exceptional Elvis-ing, Billy!! Much thanks!!
I really enjoyed this one! Interesting and informative. If that land could talk! I can just see Elvis sitting on the car playing his trusty guitar. Those were the days!! Little did he know what was in store for him - what his future would hold. Thank you so much, Billy, for adding another piece to the puzzle. Can't wait to see what's next! :-)
Very interesting But again you always have interesting things to show about Elvis I’m loving it Thank You Billy
thank you again my friend spa guy for all hard work u put in to this for ever one to see and get to know about .best wist to you may god bless you t.c.b lovey work just wish was there with u 2 .thank u

You really know ur history about the king of rock in roll 🕺💗
We used to go to Earl’s Hot biscuits during Elvis Week back in the 90’s, when they had moved to West Memphis AR..best biscuits I’ve ever gotten from a restaurant
We had car hops too. I remember them. Very interesting stories and trip to see those places. Thanks!
Ahhh sweet- sweet -southern -gold history , sir !I 👍😎
Thank You for showing us things about Elvis..Great Job..I Love Elvis and miss his Beautiful Voice..I would have Loved to be there when he was..
Thanks Spa Guy for this wonderful, amazing story about Elvis Presley; I wish I could have been able to enjoy that timeless experience with America 's finest era of growth. It's sad we are losing so much history of wonderful places that people worked hard to build. Cities seem to lose lots of businesses, thriving cities become ghettos of poverty. Why! Staying away from people doesn't seem healthy or friendly. Talking over texting doesn't make sense for humans to interact with your family, friends, coworkers, colleagues etc. Very strange times to understand how to navigate today as to understand how we did in our own environments.
Hi Billy😊Thank you for making this video.. it was Very interesting!!
Always look forward to your Elvis videos!! I definitely need to buy a copy of Gene’s book about Elvis❤️Thank you again😁
Tighten up and God Bless❤️
EP Forever💞
Gene's Book is Great!! Really informative and they were there when he was poor and rich so they have a unique perspective..
Thanks Billy😊
Keep up the good work Billy, knowing others are watching, wishing we did what you do.
Another fabulous, entertaining, and educating video! Thanx for showing us the locations. Awesome that the tile is still there at K's. I can imagine Elvis being there back in the day, but sadly, I don't think he'd go there today. The neighborhood doesn't look so safe, and that's a real shame...especially for a neighborhood that Elvis thought was a somewhat wealthy area back then. A lot of the early Elvis related areas you've shown us look rather sketchy today. Be careful while you're out investigating...especially on your own. But...I loved the video and, as always, am looking forward to what you have to offer next. Take care.
kincaide67 well you’d be right about the sketchy part.Most of memphis is now.Especially the old parts where Elvis hung out.Back in the old days this was a nice part of town,many large antebellum homes from the late 1800s.Especially Gaston park area that spaguy mentioned.This was an affluent area.But there all gone now.Torn down in the 1960s.Urban renewal they called it.They erased much history.Ill bet people back then didn’t even lock their doors.Its not even the same town Elvis grew up in.
Aaron Lang can’t you imagine how happening it was in the 50’s? Cruising that street!
Billy, I LOVE your work and your videos! Keep up the GREAT job. Too me what you are doing is invaluable to the Elvis story. Your work shows us so many inside looks at his life, it is amazing. You found his first bike in his smoke house at Graceland. It is just awesome. Keep hunting and you might find him! LOL
Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful memory with us. I love everything you guys do always can't wait till the next one. Be blessed always
Hello my friend i just love these stories. The way you tell them i just seem to imagine myself drifting off thinking what it was like back in the day.You take my mind off of things like an escape if you know what i mean, just love them wish they went on longer, Anyway very much appreciate what you do many thanks and Godbless you
Thanks russ
Another great video. It's a shame that all these places are not there anymore. Thanks God bless you.
Hi spa guy love your video’s getting throw all of them just love Elvis Presley thank you from England Leicester xx
Great stuff. It's a trip that the tile floor and the door entry way etc to K's Drive In are still there, all these decades later. Wow. Like a ghost from another era.
Thanks billy for more great facts in Elvis ..time in history
Would have loved to be there at that moment in time .that would have been so cool❤️
When I was little, My grandparents spoke often fondly of Earl's Hot Biscuits!! This is a pretty cool video. Being able to see the sight where it was. Thank you so very much 😊
Next time I am in Memphis...gonna go to 166 East E.H. Crump Boulevard, and walk on the same tiles, Elvis walked on. How awesome. I cannot get enough...of your channel. Keep up the good work, Spa Guy. You are the man! 👍☀️👍
I always press the Like before watching your videos. Cool. And Thanks for the ride Spa Guy!!
I wish I could step back in time.
Very impressed with your Elvis knowledge
Really enjoyed your video.Nice to see the exact place where Elvis was.Keep up the excellent work.
That would have been awesome to listen to him play and sing at the Drive In lol
You're the best Spa Guy 👍👍
Eu amo seus vídeos Billy.
Tudo que faz parte da história de Elvis Presley, só trazem felicidade para os meus olhos e meu ♡.
Thank you very much.
That was great Billy. I love this stuff. Great vlog👍🏻😎
You are a good detective Spa Guy, in the Elvis History keep on truckn love from a Elvis Fan from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Spa Guy Great research on Elvis
We need more people like you who
Gives awesome detail on Elvis’s life
Thanks again Joseph From NJ....
Your videos are always amazing and very interesting. Thank you for doing all the investigating and footwork in order to bring us these videos. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s nothing like southern biscuits and gravy! It’s easy to imagine being there.. those old places are fading fast, it’s really sad.
Really enjoy your video Spa Guy, God Bless !!!!
Great story and brilliantly told and investigated, fabulous to see the buildings outline still there,another piece of the elvis jigsaw put together billy you tightened right up again your the best.
Thanks Billy for more interesting facts!
Sometimes you wish these old buildings were still there , such a shame there gone .
Great video Spa guy such great dedication.
Someone could invest in making "K's Pit Bar-B-Q Drive In". They could make it as close to the way it was as possible. It could be in exactly the same spot, with the same tiles. It would be an exciting Elvis tourist spot with delicious Barbecue food.
Maybe it would of been a good idea when Elvis was still alive or not long after he passed, but it wouldn’t make enough $$$$$$$$$ now sadly.
Another interesting video. I especially like how you are now able to take pieces from different interviews and use them in a new video (this video). Your database of interviews and archeology of Elvis is going to preserve Elvis history.
Thank you friend...keep up the awesome work!
That was one of my favorite vidios yet great work ,I liked the shape of the doors at Ms and them tiles Ep walked on are still there
Such a cool video Spa Guy my friend. Must feel so good for you to be there even now. I wish I was there.❤️🕺🏻
I hope you have as much fun doing these for us as I enjoy watching and listening? You commentary is what really makes these fun to watch Billy. Hope you know that? Your knowledge and honesty about the subject matter is really what makes it! Tighten up!
Thank You Joe.. I ma having a Great time and am just as excited to be finding these things as you are watching them.. I count it an honor to be able to..
Wow when I went to Memphis I had no idea about that and I was around that part of town allll the time
This was so cool! Sweet cars, especially Dixie’s.
I bet that part of the street was hopping and full of life in the late 50’s!
Another awesome video Billy!
Amazing stuff once again Spa Guy, Thank you!
😂🤣Lolol...in your best Elvis voice. Great job buddy. Thanks for tightening up👍🍻
Yet again an other amazing video. Great to see where Elvis went and kinda walk in his shoes . Amazing thank you.
Interesting! Glad you found the site. Great video, thank you!
Great video Billy. I would have loved the free Elvis concert. I agree with you Dixie is a sweet lady. These memories will live on in your videos for years. I appreciate your time and effort
Great and very informative! I enjoy your humor too! Lol
Incredible! What a magnificent piece of Elvis history. What a shame the Drive In and the BBQ restaurants are gone. 😟😢🙁Thanks for the Tightening Up! I see their are 8 knuckleheads givi g this a thumbs down. Idiots!
Man! Crazy! They never took the floor out. Who doesn’t a demolishing like that!
I'nm Sure glad they left it..
I would go to a restaurant called Hot Biscuits literally every day! Tighten Up you all
Wow how cool is that ? Plus there is the pit location & entrance door. ( on angle )
Hope you unscrewed that bottom metal plate.
Elvis the young Elvis stepped on / over it. Popular eating place as it was open 24 hrs.
Elvis in a zillion yrs would not of thought one day a guy called Billy would tell the story of he at this location many yrs later.
Detective Spa Guy.
No rock unturned.
But thru this info we truly see Elvis's Pieces of my Life & just get to know him in a more intimate way.
WoW what memories Bill! Shame they have to tear everything down. If it was still there they probably could do a good business just advertising that Elvis use to hang out there. Oh well the powers to be think they are geniuses!
Fantastic job , dear friend Spa Guy, thank you ,wish you wonderful day 🌻🌼🍃
Another great find super sleuth Mr. Spa Guy. You tightened up !!!!!!!! It would have been fun to have hung out with Elvis Ms Dixie and Elvis' other friends. Keep tightening up. Lord bless.
Grear video. I always love those where you go around Memphis showing us cool Elvis history!
Your dedication to getting the correct details of events is amazing. Love watching!
Thank You for watching!!
That's such a great story !! I love it !! Please tell me you went ahead a got that metal plate out of the ground ?!! I would have even took a little piece of that floor too . I hope that would be okay to do that ? Not condoning that you should steal . Please don't think I meant it that way . I just meant it would be a little treasure and a neat piece of Elvis history to keep . Anyway , thank you so much for another amazing stories Spa Guy !!
If I ever need a private detective, I am calling Spa Guy. I like how you put all this together- -- another great video.
Neat! Thanks for your work. I look forward to watching.
You Sir are one cool guy! Seeing the ceramic tiles still in great shape is amazing. Would love to go in there and put a chair down and sit a spell to conjure up some incredible memories. Thank-you so much.
I'd love to have one of those tiles to start an Elvis location history collection with.
I have a green tile from Gracland's kitchen floor when they were remodelling it. I belonged to Gary Pepper's fan club back then...the Tankers, and Elvis would give him things to send to us.
@@dollywilson3395 that's awesome
Great job on tightening up. That sign reminded me of Red eye gravy. I havent had that in over thirty years.
So cool!!
This was so much fun to watch. I hope you unscrewed that door plate :)
It`s interesting how alive all events become when you drive us to the original spots where they happened :) Mrs. Smith`s memory is unbelievable. Such a nice lady.
Thank you, Billy, for another great video :)
