- What does Elvis' stepbrother, Billy Stanley think of the new ELVIS movie?
What does he think of Elvis Tribute Artists?
Corny Rempel chats with Billy Stanley about growing up with Elvis as a brother. They also talk about Billy's new book "The Faith Of Elvis - A Story Only A Brother Can Tell" - Hudba
These Stanley Brothers have written so many books on Elvis some with their wicked mother who didn't have to many nice things to say about him at all ,A man that took both she and her 3 boys in and gave them a great life via his dad Vernon . Billy is tbe oldest of the 3 brothers so he is very much aware that he and his brothers was not left in a boarding school ad he is saying they was left for over a year in a orphan home by their mom being abused , their father was a military drunk and his mom first came after Elvis who didn't want her as soon as he and his father and grandmother made it to Germany 1 month to be exact after Elvis mom passing , She couldn't get Elvis so she went for his dad .This history can be researched , The second son said they was left in an orphan home wondering and crying for their mom's return Ricky Stanley told his story after he had turned his life over to God assuring he had forgiven his mother that can also be researched as well as every interview the Stanley family have given ,
In the end after Elvis passed they began to write books their mom accusing Elvis of breaking down her marriage describing him as a big black hole that swallow people up and everyone gave themselves to him and now it's time to take back something, she was bitter because Elvis father left her for another woman 4 years prior to Elvis death , She accused Elvis of her 3 boys being drug addicts using street drugs ,Drugs Elvis never used he shunned street drugs. These people lived a life they could have never afforded for themselves before his passing and after as they write their books . The biggest and horrific lie a human can tell on another is when no publisher would take their mom on with the story she was trying to tell it was a rag sheet tabloid Enquirer magazine put the story in a 8 part documentary where this woman accused Elvis and his beloved mom of sleeping together 17 years after Elvis death stating the people who told her this was his father, Grandmother and their maid all three people had been dead for over a decade and half no one to back her lie up, She said it had been going on since Elvis was 16 and 17 I mind you Elvis and his folks was very poor at that age it was no maid to be found and the love Elvis and and his dad had for each other was so great no man would have tolerated his wife and son sleeping together while he did nothing. No mother who was Elvis grandmother would have ever admitted to having such a weak son and she would have never loved Elvis
as much as she did. They couldn't afford their bills let alone hire a maid their real come up didn't happen until 1956 moving to Audubon Drive when he was 21 , Graceland at age 22 in 1957, his mom passed in 1958 in August and Dee Stanley slithered into their lives in September 1958 as a married woman. started an affair. with Vernon and married Vernon in 1960 during the time they was taken from the orphan. Research Ricky Stanley Story , Elvis didn't attend the wedding because so soon after his mom's death Vernon began to date this woman like any kid a couple of months after you've buried your beloved mother , He cared for these young boys he felt they deserved better than what they was receiving from the adults in their lives . My problem with all these different people who have written multiple books Like the Stanley family or just 1 when it got to the point he could no longer take care of them they started writing their tell all books knowing Elvis was a private man he never wrote a book ,did a documentary or interviews about his personal life and if they didn't have nothing to say about his kindness , his generosity the ones who was the closest should have kept their mouths closed. It Was always going to be people writing and talking without facts but it didn't have to be the ones he loved and cared about.. Everyone has written a book except Elvis and Lisa and that is why Lisa didn't have much or any at all to do with these people Elvis felt he could really trust because it was so many who have betrayed his trust and some who have down right lied. So I have no respect for the Stanley Family , Where was them when their mom was selling such a big Horrible lie on this man and his family, Why wasnt the 3 now 2 protecting your big step brother's name and reputation. Dee Stanley left some very bad poison back here on the Presley family name and action speaks louder than words one of Vernon last actions was to bring his late wife Gladys and their son Elvis back to Graceland , place a marker for Elvis twin and made sure his final resting place was at Graceland and in eternity he'd RIP between his wife and son and his mom close by those actions speaks volume about how Vernon Presley felt about his late wife and son. Until Billy and David can shed their thoughts and apologies. for their family( Their mom)cruel words and behavior I really don't want to hear anything they have to say about Elvis Presley.
P.S. This story was done on the Geraldo Rivera Show back in 1994 ,The name of the show is the The Kings Darkest Secrets written by Dee Presley . She was no longer a Presley, Vernon separated from her in 1973 and divorced her 2 months after Elvis passing in 1977. ,Vernon left her for a lady name Sandy back in 1973 a woman Who was with him until he passed on 2 years later after Elvis.They say hell have no fury like a woman scorn in this case that is no lie. Research don't believe me or merely ask Billy he know.
Wspaniale to napisałeś, dziękuję, Elvis potrzebuje takich ludzi jak Ty !!!!
I think his voice is even better during Gospel songs, Inspired!
When I was 15 in August 1977 my family was on our way to Little Rock from Chicago to visit family friends. As we approached Memphis, Elvis had died and was laid out in the foyer of Graceland. My mom and I stood in the long line to walk past the casket to pay our respects. My father and 8 year old nephew waited for us under the shade of a tree because the heat was so intense, and people were fainting, and ambulances were taking fans away. We didn't want my dad or nephew to be overcome by the heat in the line.
Like a wax dummy...

Oh what a pleasure to have heard the thruth from a family member! At last!!! I can now rest in peace knowing that our beloved Elvis was a fine gentleman indeed. I truly believe his brother, because brothers know better. God bless his heart! I can't wait to buy his book!!
Absolutely the finest interview ever. I'm sure Elvis is watching with a huge smile. Billy and Ricky turned out just fine. God Bless !
Too bad David Stanley turned out to be such a creep.
What we got here, daddy?
and picks up all three boys at once. ♥ 😍
I felt his presence at Graceland 40 years after his death.
The best interview by Billy Stanley I have ever heard.
Billy knows how great a man Elvis was. i loved hearing this, i've always loved Elvis. thank you
@Billy Stanley
I'm a 60 year old Granma, have 7 grandchildren and introduced them to Elvis. They love him. I haven't taken a vacation in over 20 years and want to bring the oldest ones to see Graceland this year. I'm really nervous to travel alone with kids but I really want to see Graceland and share him with them. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do it!
The Elvis Movie is what opened the doors for kids today.
Loved this interview. I can't wait to get the book. Elvis is my favorite of all time!
I love Billy's book! I got it for Christmas. It eased my mind and I feel like Elvis is in Heaven today! Thankyou Billy!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories Billy! Great interview Corny
The movie isn't a documentary. It's just capturing the feeling of episodes of elvis life...I think it did capture some moments accurately
It's also based on Parker's view of things
Loved the movie
Thank you very much Billy
I just love listening to Billy!
Thank you Billy for sharing your wonderful stories about Elvis! I was 16 when he passed and my whole family cried! I was wondering who is this man?? Now we still listen to him and watch his movies!! I been to Graceland twice plus had a dream about him!! Elvis was great and wonderful in my dream ❤
Me too 16 we cried for weeks....I'm Fr From FORT WORTH TEXAS .. STILL can't watch too MUCH...😞😞😞😞😔😔
Godspeed Billy Stanley!
I enjoyed hearing Billy tell his stories. There was a radio show that actually did announce where Elvis was in his trips home it was like a fan chain. I guess Billy was young and didn't realize back then. Fans all across the country faster that a telegram 🤭😅 I appreciate Billynwriting this book and telling the GOOD stuff about Elvis. I appreciate what he said about Elvis and his Mama. Elvis' Great Grandmother Martha and Mine were Sisters. I would love to speak to Billy. God bless 🙌🏽 ❤️🌹
Thank you so
Much for this video, I’ve been an Elvis fan my whole
Life too and I’ve never ever read a book anybody has written about Elvis. Billy after hearing this I will read your book because I feel deeply as an intuitive and sensitive person that you are the real deal and I can feel your heart felt emotion when talking about Elvis. I know you loved him and I am excited to read it. Thank you !
I loved the book. Just lifts Elvis up. I get tired of hearing all the bad things Elvis did. I know Elvis wasn't perfect but he did his best to help everyone that he knew needed help. R.I.P Elvis. You are so missed. 💕👑💕
@@vickylong3229I no

Loved this interview...we can still, after all these years, still learn something new about Elvis....fabulous interview Corny...and Billy is a great subject...he can talk a blue streak, too... LOL See you in Wpg. May 5.... looking so forward to it
Great interview. I always to to hear from somebody that was there and who the true Elvis was and not the media made up Elvis. Can’t wait to read the book.
GREAT Inview THANK U BILLY!! 😊
Great interview and I’m glad to know Walmart has your new book Billy I’m going to buy it today . My child said he was gonna get for me back in October for my b day but he didn’t and I still want it so I’ll just buy it myself 😊❤
Billy I would just like to add Lisa Marie was so talented as well-her singing career should have PEAKED far more than it did
Awesome stories 👍
Thank you for this interview Billy. I 💯 understand when you say no one will ever look like or be like Elvis. I lost my brother & I understand your pain, I can’t imagine though having to deal with all the other stuff on top of losing him.
Such a fabulous interview. LOVE hearing Billy's side of the story. Thank you for sharing the real Elvis with us 🤗
Enjoyed this Billy. U r so truthful & genuine! I want your book!
Great interview! Elvis must be so proud of his brother right now! God Bless you. I will definitely buy your book, but would really like a signed copy❤
I've NEVER cared for any of the Stanleys because of their mother and the book she wrote years ago. She made some horrific accusations about Elvis. But, I will say I really enjoyed this interview.
Thank u Billy, and the movie made me mad to. I've read to much and always followed everything about Elvis and I knew the movie wasn't right! My Grandson kept saying Maw Maw shhhhhh. Cuz I was fussing lol! 💖
That would be a very great day to go see
GRACELAND my hole family loves ELVIS PRESLEY
That’s a great ,loving, 21:11 grandma Hope her grandkids appreciate what she’s doing! Meant the world to me when my granddaughter remembered and thanked me so much for things I have done💕🌈☮️🙏🐺🐾
Step-brother
That movie opened the doors for so many who didn’t know Elvis. Truly illuminating the sweet man. Brilliant performance by Austin. We should stand up when he walks in the room out of respect for his portrayal of him. Loved that film. Every second of it.
Elvis brother didn't think so.
@@Graceland1964 his daughter did. Soooo
@@kathy73160 his daughter didn't hardly know Elvis if you work it out.
I just cant watch the film. Im an Elvis contemporary, and I must tell you that NO ONE can ever hold a candle to the real Elvis.
@Susan Eliz I'm talking about Lisa Maria who nee very little about her father. It's you who knows nothing about Elvis. Come on big mouth put me to the test on Elvis life. Lisa was 9 when Elvis died. I'll be waiting for your reply but I wouldn't hold my breath though.
Wonderful Billy you made Elvis really proud and happy and you made me cry long life to you my friend.
One of the best interviews l’v ever heard Thank you both 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I am glad Billy set the record straight on Priscilla.
Susan---ABSOLUTELY!!
Listen to jerry tell the Nixon story. It is one of the best stories. My fave part was the non money issue and the airport soldier. Elvis was the best. Cant wait to see Agent Elvis
Great interview! Thanks Corny.
Billy you are very likeable and well spoken thank you i was riveted to the screen very interesting. Stay healthy please
This interview was absolutely fabulous.
I enjoyed every minute. I respect and admire Billy.
Very much.
We all have our ways of believing about the movie.
But I'm kind of like in his.
Category but I do feel Austin did a fabulous job that kid went through 2 years. Of working hard to do his best and I think he did.
No one can be Elvis we know that.
But he brought him back to life and now people know what he was like.
And how he entertained.
And they can do research and see. What's true what's not true?
God bless you Billy. I hope someday I will be blessed to meet you in your family.
Such a great interview! Thank you for sharing these human stories of your Elvis memories! I just purchased your book and am excited to read it. What got me were your words about Lisa Marie and how different her life would have been if he had lived longer. God Bless ❤
Loved this ❤
Thank you so much! I am a new fan of Elvis. I really became interested after Lisa passed and of course the movie. Since then, I sing Elvis songs in music room w bf who is retired drummer. We also decided to sing his gospel songs on Sunday. There are very small parallels w Elvis' life and ours that we relate too. I find out this because of all the interviews of Billy and Elvis friends, his book, etc. Its good to hear about the real Elvis.
Majac takich przyjaciol, nie potrzebowales juz wrogow !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really nice interview 👍
Great interview loved everything about it
definitely gonna buy this book ❤
Good to hear from Billy Stanley’s point of view. I’ve always felt Priscilla was over & done with after the divorce. What does Billy think about Bob Joyce?
He was electric! You cld feel it in concert
“Oh Happy Day” the rehearsal is what Billy is talking about I believe when he says Elvis has the Holy Spirit when he sings certain songs. Saw and felt it immediately. That’s our Elvis!
Wow. Thanks for sharing this. ❤
He has his story but other's also have theirs and its all about were you there, who to believe, and for those some it was capitalizing. "Very Sad." For that unknown yet tragic ending. Elvis!
Great sit down into the life with Elvis . Sounds like he truly loved and respected Elvis . He is a down to earth guy who loved and lived and remembered the good times with Elvis . He knows he truly lived a life lesson by being there .
I've heard EP was so good to the brothers. He was such a good man. Great interview!
I never tire of hearing Billy's interviews. Such a wonderful, honest guy. I need to get his book. Enjoyed this so much.
What a. Great interview. We all knew Elvis was a loving and religious person. SUCH A GOOD PERSON!
Billy Elvis's brother. Billy I love your story about the first time you met Elvis. I wish you love and happiness Billy and all good things to happen to you. Its wonderful to see this video ❤
Well SOMETHING came Over ELVIS ON STAGE AND YOU COULD FEEL IT
What a great interview not many people are now left who knew him like billy and the love that was a between them both and I admire billy for showing another side of elvis as a brother and the love that he had for him shows through I wish him all the best with his book can’t wait to read it
I have read it 2 times. It is so nice to read a book that lifts Elvis up. Bless Rick.
Really enjoyed this great interview. So great to hear stories from family that tells it like was,and their relationship. Can’t wait to get the book. Love Elvis Always, fan for 67 years. ❤️👑❤️👑
Thank you Billy you made my day !!!
RESPECT your ELDERS...YES
Non voglio criticare Billy per la fortuna che ha avuto insieme ai suoi fratelli di vivere con Elvis. Ma è facile per lui, Io amo Elvis così profondamente senza averlo mai incontrato ma vedendo un suo concerto on line ho riconosciuto la sua anima pura e da allora dopo fiumi di lacrime ogni giorno sono con lui perchè lui è con me. Grazie Elvis. Ho il mio libro, ma non lo pubblicizzo così tanto. Ho provato ma gli americani non lo comprano perchè è SCRITTO IN ITALIANO!!! ma ti pare che non hanno modo di tradurlo....Non importa. La cosa he voglio di più è l'amore di Elvis e ce l'ho
Wonderful interview. I love hearing and reading interviews with Billy Stanley, David Stanley and the late Rick Stanley. I agree with Billy about the recent Baz Elvis 2022 interview because there are too many discrepancies with this movie. Elvis fans and his brothers have too be frustrated with a fantasy movie without accurate information. The true Elvis story is fascinating without inaccurate revisionism.
It's based on Tom Parker's view of things, not an Elvis bio
ELVIS had NO brothers!
This is a step brother.
@@susanpearson6375To Elvis, they were his younger brothers and loved them. They were just little kids when Vernon married their mother.
This was a very nice interview. I enjoyed it a lot. So great hearing about the positive stories about Elvis. Appreciate truths instead of lies and exaggerations. Can really hear the love that Billy had for Elvis. I want to purchase your book.
Billy NOBODY is going to look exactly like Elvis when playing the "role" of Elvis just as there would be nobody that would look exactly like you !... was the movie perfect?? no, but then again there will never be a movie that tells anyone's story exactly like it was (unfortunately ).. You are right that the best thing about the movie is that it brought Elvis back into the spotlight. That being said THIS movie was the best effort put on film since his passing and if you think I'm wrong please let me know what other movie even came close to the story.
Kurt Russell Elvis 1980.
@@Graceland1964 Not even close , the movie was a made for TV movie and it had a budget of about $50 ( at least that what it looked like) have you seen the movie lately ? It’s laughable and btw it was 1979
@@dinnerandamovie that's your opinion. Opinions are ass holes we all have one. So I disagree with you OK.
This movie spoken about was above and beyond WRONG .
I don’t know how the Presley’s approved of it other than the fact they are profiting off of it .
It didn’t depict Elvis or his family in the trueness of their life and selves . It shouldn’t of been shown at theatre . It gives a false sense of Elvis and his family that should be an embarrassment to the Presley family . If it had been made with true times and details it would of been an Academy Award winning film Oscar etc it wasn’t
Thus movie was great.. there were a few things Cilla put in there that wasn't true, but what do u expect out of the ungrateful thing. AUSTIN did great, Lisa was very pleased with him & so were a lot of others. 3yrs working to capture ELVIS. GREAT JOB. was robbed of Oscar.
It was such a fantastic interview! Thank you for sharing this. I will be buying your book. ❤❤
I like Billy the best out of the three !
Me too!
So cool hearing these stories!
he still doesn't understand that it's a movie, not the reality...that's what movies does,...exagerate a story....the movie was awsome
A movie named Elvis should be overwhelmingly accurate. In a bio-picture or documentary, there could be some small amount of embellished material, but not the majority of this movie that misrepresented both Elvis's parents, omits his close family and friends, omits his girlfriends from his last five years, and takes a song from 1958 , back to 1956. Any Elvis fan will not like these falsifying scenes.
@@robertmorra8603 well here you have a true Elvis fan who loved it...Priscilla loved it too and Jerry Schilling, i think they knew E better than you and i....we need some drama in a movie otherwise thhere's no movie!!!...not an all happy thing....i know the real story, i heard joe esposito and linda thompson among others talked about him....
I would love to hear Billy’s near death experience. God bless
Corny ..you are Canadian? As am I. Nice to meet you Corny. I just found your channel because of Billy. Because of Elvis. Where do hail from Corny? If you are near me i can attend your show. My cousin is an ETA and he loves doing it.
Elvis and Billy loved each other. They always had each others back. Billy has so many great Elvis stories.Thank you for having Billy on the show and thank you Billy. Us Elvis fans really appreciate it.
49:50. I wonder if his true love was June Juanico, Dixie Locke, Anita Wood? 💜
15:31 Thank you Billy for sharing your life as Elvis's brother. So interesting because you are his brother.
Billy was never the brother of ELVIS as Rick never was and David Stanley ELVIS had only one brother dead at birth JESSE Garon He took care of these 3 guys because he was of an extraordinary generosity So no amalgam and put things in order Thank you /// ELVIS GIFT OF GOD!
Nobody comes close❤
Can Billy Stanley confirm he was actually around Elvis at Graceland in 76/77, listening to the EFM channel with Billy & Jo Smith they state pretty definitively he was not there. It concerns me when I hear from people who I know where there state that Billy Stanley was not there and therefore as nice as Billy Stanley comes across, makes me think question what he says.
Old Stanley boys love to write books about Elvis lol
Yawn 😢
Another book by a Stanly bro. Getting old.
Stepbrother
What a love to pick up the 3 boys as brothers and treated them so lovingly . I bet Vernon was hard on them, hear he was tight with money and Elvis was the opposite!
Where did colonel Tom Parker comes across elvis ,was it at carnival
Tremendo desprecio le hizo la academia a Elvis...😳 ! Increible!! al niño mimado de los EE.UU ocho nominaciones y ni siquiera una gano
Woke, fake Hollywood! Elvis sang gospels, so there's no way the academy would acknowledge him in any way. He's still the GOAT and best selling solo artist of all time, and they can't do a thing to change that! The trophy building at Graceland speaks volumes of his successes and accolades.
I can't find the video that Billy talked about. He called it "oh holy day", I think it may have been "oh happy day". I can't find the one where he that Elvis was touched by The Holy Spirit.
Step brother
I bought my copy @christian book store
Hi my name is Abigail I am 17 and I would really Like to know if there is some way I can get a P.O. box from Mr. Stanley, I would really like to send Him a letter if at all possible. Thank You
P.S. could you ask Him if He does have a Fan mail Address???
He lives in Vegas, out of the Hilton Hotel.
@@FrankieLovesElvis Thank You
I wonder what Billy thinks of Pastor Bob Joyce?
Thinks he's not relevant to Elvis.
@@robertmorra8603 Pastor Joyce gives himself away in EVERY message and EVERY song....Amen! Hallelujah!!!
Ex step brother
Didn’t he consider Vernon his daddy? He calls him Vernon.
But Elvis is his Brother lol how this guy remember so much lol it’s lies
It seems that it didn't take long for Vernon to move on after Gladys's death i. I didn't realize that it was so soon after her death,2 years, and remarried.
BILLY’S SUMMATION OF AUSTIN’S CHARACTER OF ELVIS IS ACCURATE. BUT THE MOVIE WAS SEEING ELVIS FROM THE COLONEL PARKER. PARKER WAS A DARKER CHARACTER IN REAL LIFE. HE WAS A CARNY KING. HE FOUND A GOLD MINE IN ELVIS, AND MANAGED HIM TIL THE GOLD RUN OUT. I SAW THE MOVIE TWICE, AUSTIN WAS GOOD, HANKS WAS GREAT. BUT ITS THROUGH PARKER’S EYES.
