This lady has given us all a fascinating look into the early days of Elvis and his love interest of the time when they were both so young. She was generous with her time and willingness to be interviewed for Elvis fans worldwide. May the Lord bless her for this treat she gave us.
What an amazing genuine interview you can truly hear the love, compassion ,and concern she had for the Presley family..In return she was blessed with her own family
Lucky Barbara ♥️ She described so well the things we did back then. Drive in movies. Excellent place to make out. Take rides around & around the town square on Sat. nights. Talk & talk with each other. ELVIS FOREVERMORE ♥️♥️
Three things stand out from this interview: 1) Elvis really cared about people. The fact that Barbara felt he was her 'security blanket' says it all, 2) Barbara is a class act and it is no wonder Elvis and his Mother liked her so much, 3) This interviewer is fantastic. He lets the conversation flow and lets his guest comfortably tell their story. Thanks very much for sharing.
I agree with Heather. Such a nice Southern lady. No doubt she's telling the truth. I can see why Elvis had her back. God Bless her sweet heart♥️Thank you for doing this last interview.
I almost didn't want to listen to this intervju. I thought ah.. not another of his girlfriends. But I'm so glad I did! What a touching and heartwarming intervju. She knew him and his family before it all started. And she speaks so higly of both Gladys and Elvis. This is really a treasure.
What a lovely lady! It was so refreshing to hear her story. There was such an innocence and honesty about her. This is the first visit to your podcast, but it won't be the last. Every question you asked, and every comment you made was perfect. What really made the interview so special, was your ability to listen, and never trying to overpower Mrs Hearns the genuine respect, and courtesy you showed your guest, was really heartwarming. It was really a beautiful reminder, a kinder, and beautiful America that I once cherished. May God bless you my Irish brother. And thank you for your wonderful gift to all those that loved an angel on loan, named Elvis Presley
That's a lovely comment and I also think that Steve is a natural as an interviewer because the times I watch interviews from my favourite music film and TV and some are like butting in all the time knocking the guest sidelines. Not all professionals are that bad but I can name a few. This is now my favourite Elvis info place, what Steve doesn't know about Elvis isn't worth knowing. Always a pleasure to meet fellow Elvis fans 😁
You know you described exactly how I felt listening to this interview. If only I could have put into words how I felt as eloquently as you did. Wonderful comment! I'm in Ireland too and I even kissed the Blarney Stone but I guess it didn't work on me! 😃
This was an amazing interview...I’m so lucky to have had the privalidge....soon there will be no one on earth that knew him personally as the years go by. Nearly all the MM have died...so sad. I’m the same age as Lisa- Marie. If Elvis was alive he would of got Barbara to Florida for sure. Sending all my love to you Barbara. You must be a very special lady. To have shared a part of Elvis life with him is such a wonderful gift life gave you. Elvis will never be forgotten 1935-1977-forever 🌹 Good luck with getting to Florida. Hope god hears your prayers 🙏🏻
Never forget the day Elvis went home. I was working at an Upholstery job , recovering furniture, I broke down and was inconsolable. My boss sent me home , stating , I can see you’ll be useless here today. I thanked him , gave him a hug and left, and I went home to mourn a great star who God blessed with a beautiful voice, and i especially love his gospel music❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏😇😇
What a lovely lady. Loved hearing what she had to say. The dire poverty he experienced, his chronic insomnia and health issues and the rapid, mega-fame were not a good mix. You can't fault him for wanting to take care of his family. He had a tender, generous spirit & empathetic heart. Throw in Col. Tom Parker to the equation and the stifling of his inner artistry (he subtly undermined Elvis & exploited his vulnerabilities) and you have a tragedy waiting to happen... Elvis reminds me of Secretariat. He had a huge heart and strength and endurance that only could come from God. I do believe he is with the Lord as he knew his talent was God-given and he believed in Christ. He only felt peace when singing or listening to gospel music. So sad, but he was a gift from God despite his vulnerabilities and search for answers. Truly a special man that touched the world. I was 18 when he passed and he will always be a part of us, and in our hearts. I pray his daughter, Lisa finds peace in Christ as she has had so much trauma in her life. If his mom had lived, I believe his life would have taken a different path, but I'm glad we had him for as long as we did. His mom trained him up in love and faith. I think he spent the rest of his life after her death trying to find his way back to what was real. The poverty AND fame created a never-ending conflict within him. Still, he was a beautiful soul and part of that beauty was the sadness he carried inside.
This interview was one of the nicest interviews on Elvis that I have heard She described the humane and kind Elvis who had great talent was extremely memorable , but he had a weakness , one that killed him in the end. In our hearts he will always be missed and will always be the King.
This was a stellar interview, Steve! You really listened to Ms Hearn Smith and you allowed her to speak uninterrupted. A very special thank you for that! She sounded like a lovely down-to-earth lady who dearly loved Elvis for who he was aside from the glitz and glamour. After all, she knew him long before he was famous. It's easy to see why Elvis loved her. I really appreciated what she had to say about Gladys especially as regards her drinking. I think fame was one of the worst things that happened to Elvis. I've often imagined him singing lead in a gospel quartet. I believe he would ultimately have been happier and more content. With Elvis' natural charisma and talent, I suppose fame still would have found him. Thanks so very much for this precious interview and for letting us get to know Barbara. God bless you and yours Steve. ❤👏🙏
One, if not the best interviews I have ever heard on Elvis Presley. What an honest true friend of his, just like Linda Thompson, that are not embellishing any stories.I so enjoyed this.Her recollection is so clear,and she showed such class in the way she spoke of their relationship.
An emotional relationship between of them, they communicated a lot! Elvis is the greatest artist of all time! I liked this story told by a special lady!
This is a significant interview and I learned a lot. I never knew about her, I thought Dixie was his “first” girlfriend. She was so lovely and enlightening about Elvis and so sweet about him, never said a negative thing.
@@antoninalopez3656 Yes I had thought about that too, but it wasn’t right away I don’t think, so maybe Dixie had already gotten married. Or maybe they talked about it and Dixie didn’t care. But I do agree with you.
@@joannemcclure3546 would still be weird even if my friend was OK with it... men and women in general don't like it if their partners were with others known or unknown to them especially as young adults.
@@antoninalopez3656I saw a sequence of info regarding his girlfriends. Correct me if I am wrong, first was Dixie. She married right after Elvis. Then Barbara came. After Barbara came the one who died on a car accident. Then came June. And yes Barbara was Dixie's friend but then, again, it was Elvis Presley. No one could resist ⚡🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵⚡
Steve lt was very surprising to me hear Barbara Hearn say that she was totally shocked too hear that Gladys might have a Drinking Problem. Other People would say that she was taking Diet Pills. The amount of time Barbara spent around Gladys even when Elvis was on the Road is very much Surprising. One thing about Barbara Hearn is she was a True Friend to the Presley Family Unlike a lot of other People that Hung Around Elvis and Family. She Wasn't there too see what she could get. Much too Honest in my opinion
Shaun. She is such a beautiful person inside and out. I was thrilled when she agreed to talk to me. I kinda got a bit bashful near the end I can see what Elvis saw in her
WOW! What a lovely interview and lady! She sounds so honest and caring. No agenda, just remembering her time shared with him. Made me sad the "goodbye story" though.. So sad they didn't keep in touch over the years. And strage that, for what she says, seems like a conscious decision on his part. Had more people like her had been around, things might have been different for him 😔 I wish her nothing but the best and that she can finally be reunited with his children 🤗
Thank you Barbara for sharing all your wonderful stories about Elvis Presley the time you had with him the time you had with his family. He had a God-given talent. As an Elvis fan myself since I've been 3 years old now 57 . For the short time Elvis was here he made a huge impact on the world of music. Only to be cut too short . I thank God for giving us such a beautiful voice for the world to hear. Elvis Presley will never be forgotten. He was extraordinary human being. That ended up having a to extraordinary life for any one human to live up to for a long period of time. I wish Colonel Parker would have been fired and Elvis could have gotten the help he needed and a much deserve break from the public for a few years, just to get his self grounded again. Both physically and mentally. Colonel Parker just burned him out for his own Greed. On top of the prescription medication getting ahold of him, like it would any human being trying to live up to an image. unfortunately taking his life. He was only human. Elvis was a person pleaser which unfortunately would get the good of him. I can just say I miss you Elvis and so many of your fans do. Like so many I listen to his music everyday he had extraordinary voice with extraordinary range in sound and music type. That no other singer to this day has been able to fulfill. He was so giving so kind so polite with much compassion for mankind and most of all for our Lord Jesus Christ. We will always miss him. Now he sings with the angels. I know one thing. I never was fortunate enough to see him in person, but When it's my time to go I can't wait to meet him in heaven. Thank you God for giving us a beautiful voice thank you Elvis Presley we will remember you and miss you always but until then we will listen to your beautiful music you left behind
What a wonderful interview! If you want to know how a man will treat you just look how he treats his momma. Elvis loved his mom so much and he was so generous to others.
Wow Barbara thank you so much for telling Elvis' Story through your eyes and heart. You were so blessed to have been apart of his life as well and to have such a great memory!
She was a kind and wonderful girl. I read when Mrs. Presley was in the Hospital for tests once & she gave Gladys a manicure and do a few things to cheer her up. She did this on her own and not to impress Elvis. That’s how dear she was to Gladys. How sweet she still is & God Bless her and her health. May she live a long life. ❤️❤️🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🎅🏼🎄🎅🏼
Wonderful interview Steve. Dear Barbara, thank you very much for sharing your memories. You are such a lovely lady, and also a very lucky lady to have been close to Elvis and his mother. Thank you both very much. 💖💖💖💖 PS. In Nick Adams' book "The Rebel & The King", he said in his journal that Natalie Wood gifted the two velvet shirts to Elvis. I was never sure about this, but Barbara has now confirmed that this was in fact true. Thanks again Barbara.
Wonderful interview. Such a gracious, kind lady and the interviewer is so respectful and delighted to speak to her. Very heartwarming even though we hear sadness in her voice about Elvis and how his life turned out. ❤️
Nice conversation. Very interesting. She just spoke from the heart. No bragging. Just a honest conversation , with someone that truly cared about Elvis.
What a pretty woman! What a wonderful life she has! Who would have thought that Elvis's memory lives on so strongly and with new fans every generation since.
This is my favorite interview about Elvis. It gives me a better outlook on his life. Some of the interviews and performances show him in such a bad light.
She was very lucky to have known and dated Elvis when grey eere young and known his mother before he was so famous. She was genuinely fond of Elvis and thought so well of him. She never even abused her friendship with Elvis. She is a very genuine and good hearted person. ♥️
Such a great thing for you to get to interview such a beautiful person.. I can understand why Gladys cared so much for her. Two precious ladies. I think that’s really all Elvis wanted from a woman was to be appreciated and understood. I believe Barbara & Ms. Presley were such precious people. Fame & Fortune got in the way of Elvis having a peaceful life.
This interview was so good. She is so genuine and sweet. I actually had the pleasure of meeting her. I especially love hearing about Gladys. To me she is just as iconic as he was. ❤️
I really enjoyed listening to this interview. Especially from a person that knew Elvis from before and after his fame. And became a lifelong friend of Elvis'. Thank you! 💖💖💖😊
What a awesome interview. Barbara was very nice and I too could see why Elvis like her.I sure did learn a lot of things I did not know. Thank you so much for finding her and doing this interview. Love your channel.
One of the best interviews! Absolutely loved the stories that Barbara shared. Hope her soul is at rest…hearing that catch in her voice at the end really made me emotional 💕⚡️💕 TLC to her family and friends 💗
THIS IS SO AWESOME My mom's Era & I was almost 8 when Elvis past my mom was heartbroken 💔 He was a legend as I have taughtmy girls with his music. A lot of people took advantage of Elvis..He lives on!!
Absolutely astounding interview! That scene when Barbara left Graceland the last time was incredibly telling. Elvis had hit the "Peter Principle" of contentment.
Steve Francis: Thank you for posting your interview with Barbara Hearns. What a wonderful lady and a wonderful interview. She described Elvis and his parents as very "everyday" people. I especially appreciated her comments about Gladys. She mentioned that Gladys would have been happy just to have her son to one day marry and have children. And that Gladys didn't want a lot of possessions; that relationships were her priority and not material things. Such a tried and true value for us all to remember, that while possessions are okay to have, relationships are why we obtain possessions. To make our loved ones' lives better. Thank you once again for posting!
So sad Elvis didn't keep this lady in his life, even as a friend. So wonderful and grounded.
Love this interview. This lady is a genuine person. Always have and always will love Elvis.
Exactly my thoughts as I listened the interview
This lady has given us all a fascinating look into the early days of Elvis and his love interest of the time when they were both so young. She was generous with her time and willingness to be interviewed for Elvis fans worldwide. May the Lord bless her for this treat she gave us.

How refreshing. I believe this is the most honest interview about Elvis I have EVER heard.
Thank you So glad you enjoyed it
hello how are you doing today..
Couldn't agree more

I loved this interview. I feel so much sincerity in her voice. How precious are her memories. God bless this sweet lady.
what a sweet lady and beautiful memories
She sounds like one of the nicest people you could meet. I am so glad she met her husband and has had a happy life!!
Barbara is a beautiful lady inside and out
I like the way this lady didn't tell anyone she was at the concert because Elvis was obviously struggling that night
The sadness in Barbara's voice when she was talking about the 74 concert is heartbreaking. The tragedy of elvis' life really summed up in her voice
Yes Pablo I noticed that also ☹️
Lucky Barbara ♥️ She described so well the things we did back then. Drive in movies. Excellent place to make out. Take rides around & around the town square on Sat. nights. Talk & talk with each other. ELVIS FOREVERMORE ♥️♥️
What is sad about the 74 concert? He had just come off of the Aloha concert and went back to Las Vegas. He was in the money and doing well in 74.
Three things stand out from this interview: 1) Elvis really cared about people. The fact that Barbara felt he was her 'security blanket' says it all, 2) Barbara is a class act and it is no wonder Elvis and his Mother liked her so much, 3) This interviewer is fantastic.

I agree with Heather. Such a nice Southern lady. No doubt she's telling the truth. I can see why Elvis had her back. God Bless her sweet heart♥️Thank you for doing this last interview.
Because southern hearts and northern hearts are so different? What does that mean? A nice southern heart?
God Bless you ❤️ Barbara and your husband💋❤️❤️❤️💓💕💗💖💓❤️💗💕💓
It must be amazing to have such wonderful memories . She appears to be a graceful lady .
True Lady
She sounds lovely, they all really lovely people Memphis Tennessee and around there x
UR STORIES WILL LIVED ON .

No artist can touch his charismatic talent. An unique individual who brought happiness to all.
This is one of the best interviews I've heard. Sincere and emotional.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it

When and where did they see him?
Thanks for watching and commenting on my channel it's much appreciated

What a lovely woman 💗 so lucky to have such great memories.
She was lovely Helen
PS as Elvis Presley would say thank you very much
This one made me cry man. She is lovely. Good job!
Yeah....it's emotional alright
It's March 2023. I wonder if she is still alive and well. How refreshing it was to listen to her. God bless her and restore her health 🙏🙏🙏⚡⚡⚡
Yes...Barbara is alive and well...I spoke with her recently
When God made Elvis it was his finest masterpiece to date.& Barbara was one lucky lady. 🇺🇸👩🏼🇬🇧
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo😊.

Bless her heart for doing this interview and realizing how blessed she has been. Elvis was better than the image, too bad he didn’t know that.
This was an amazing interview...I’m so lucky to have had the privalidge....soon there will be no one on earth that knew him personally as the years go by. Nearly all the MM have died...so sad. I’m the same age as Lisa- Marie.

Thank you Barbara for sharing all your wonderful stories about Elvis Presley the time you had with him the time you had with his family. He had a God-given talent. As an Elvis fan myself since I've been 3 years old now 57 . For the short time Elvis was here he made a huge impact on the world of music. Only to be cut too short . I thank God for giving us such a beautiful voice for the world to hear. Elvis Presley will never be forgotten. He was extraordinary human being. That ended up having a to extraordinary life for any one human to live up to for a long period of time. I wish Colonel Parker would have been fired and Elvis could have gotten the help he needed and a much deserve break from the public for a few years, just to get his self grounded again. Both physically and mentally. Colonel Parker just burned him out for his own Greed. On top of the prescription medication getting ahold of him, like it would any human being trying to live up to an image. unfortunately taking his life. He was only human.

He was so giving so kind so polite with much compassion for mankind and most of all for our Lord Jesus Christ. We will always miss him. Now he sings with the angels. I know one thing. I never was fortunate enough to see him in person, but When it's my time to go I can't wait to meet him in heaven. Thank you God for giving us a beautiful voice thank you Elvis Presley we will remember you and miss you always but until then we will listen to your beautiful music you left behind

They say you know a person by their friends. Elvis had many wonderful friends like this charming and sensible lady, Barbara Hearn Smith.
Down to earth sweet soul, no wonder Elvis and she were lifelong friends.
What a wonderful interview! If you want to know how a man will treat you just look how he treats his momma. Elvis loved his mom so much and he was so generous to others.
Wow Barbara thank you so much for telling Elvis' Story through your eyes and heart. You were so blessed to have been apart of his life as well and to have such a great memory!

Wonderful interview. Such a gracious, kind lady and the interviewer is so respectful and delighted to speak to her. Very heartwarming even though we hear sadness in her voice about Elvis and how his life turned out. ❤️
Great entertainment pod real people real stories what a very nice lady thanks to her and you Steve always elvis never to be forgotten

My heart goes out to her!!

@Ruth Simon We can dream!😀 I'd have loved Elvis all to myself and wouldn't have cared less if he'd stayed dirt poor. x

Brilliant interview. This is the best Elvis channel on the net. Thanks again.
Thank you...very kind
What a very kind lovely lady. Could listen to her talk all day.
Nice conversation. Very interesting.
She just spoke from the heart.
No bragging. Just a honest conversation , with someone that truly cared about Elvis.
Beautiful interview, hope she stays well.
hello how are you doing today..
What a lovely interview. If she chooses to make it her last, she left on a beautiful note.
Agree 100%
What a authentic woman. I love this interview from such a Beautiful Woman!❤🎶🎯
Thanks... glad you enjoyed it
Steve
Really enjoyed this interview with this beautiful lady. I hope that her & her husband have overcome their health issues, & are doing well. 💕
What a pretty woman! What a wonderful life she has! Who would have thought that Elvis's memory lives on so strongly and with new fans every generation since.
This is my favorite interview about Elvis. It gives me a better outlook on his life. Some of the interviews and performances show him in such a bad light.
Such a sweet lady. Ty for a great interview, so genuine 💖 I think every Elvis fan will always miss him.😪😪
What an interesting and wonderful story. I love Elvis music and always will. Thank you so very much.
You're welcome Anne
What a beautiful, calming interview from Mrs. Hearn. I could of listen to you both for another hour or two.
Thank You both very much!!
Thanks Sue.
I could have spoken to her forever but made a promise that I wouldn't keep her too long
I have loved this interview. What a wonderful lady. Thank you. 💖
Wonderful interview and so candid!
Thank you for sharing...she is a beautiful woman!
She was very lucky to have known and dated Elvis when grey eere young and known his mother before he was so famous. She was genuinely fond of Elvis and thought so well of him. She never even abused her friendship with Elvis. She is a very genuine and good hearted person. ♥️
Such a great thing for you to get to interview such a beautiful person..
I can understand why Gladys cared so much for her. Two precious ladies. I think that’s really all Elvis wanted from a woman was to be appreciated and understood. I believe Barbara & Ms. Presley were such precious people. Fame & Fortune got in the way of Elvis having a peaceful life.
This interview was so good. She is so genuine and sweet. I actually had the pleasure of meeting her. I especially love hearing about Gladys. To me she is just as iconic as he was. ❤️
I really enjoyed listening to this interview. Especially from a person that knew Elvis from before and after his fame. And became a lifelong friend of Elvis'.
Thank you! 💖💖💖😊
What a awesome interview. Barbara was very nice and I too could see why Elvis like her.I sure did learn a lot of things I did not know. Thank you so much for finding her and doing this interview. Love your channel.
Very kind Tina
So glad you are enjoying my posts
Very sweet interview, beautiful memories. Thnx so much.

Health is wealth ~By The Grace of God ~🙏💕🌻
Wonderful interview and such a nice lady. I think I will listen to it again. Thank you.
I loved this interview,, i never wanted it to end,, i would've loved to hear more of Barbara talking about her time with Elvis :D
Absolutely astounding interview! That scene when Barbara left Graceland the last time was incredibly telling. Elvis had hit the "Peter Principle" of contentment.
Many thanks for your comments.
Glad you enjoyed the interview and thanks for watching and commenting on my channel it's much appreciated
Steve

Steve Francis: Thank you for posting your interview with Barbara Hearns. What a wonderful lady and a wonderful interview. She described Elvis and his parents as very "everyday" people. I especially appreciated her comments about Gladys. She mentioned that Gladys would have been happy just to have her son to one day marry and have children. And that Gladys didn't want a lot of possessions; that relationships were her priority and not material things. Such a tried and true value for us all to remember, that while possessions are okay to have, relationships are why we obtain possessions. To make our loved ones' lives better. Thank you once again for posting!
