I've toured GRACELAND. From the moment I walked up the steps, out front..I couldn't stop crying. Feeling completely overwhelmed and sensing Elvis' presence. It was the most profound experience of my life.

EFM youtube, Elvis blood kin, from the beginning to theclast night of his life.
My daughter Alyssa was born July 30 1992. I put her in her swing and she would cry she did not like that swing. So every single time I put her in it and turned on the radio, they were playing Elvis music. She stopped crying every time. And her love for Elvis began.
That’s so beautiful !
@@no1nestandsalone387 thanks
I understand! ❤️
awesome
@@GuillermoRodriguez-gu3oq thanks
I remember it being very sureal. We travelled from Australia, pretty much 30+ hours in a plane, landed in LA, then to Memphis. Arriving early hours of the morning, stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel I think it was, it began to rain, I was reminded of the song " Walking in Memphis". But, what an experience, the whole trip was fabulous, but Graceland never leaves you, ever.

Blessings from France. Elvis # 1 forever !💖🎵
EfM youtube Elvis blood kin, from start to final night of his passing
That’s exactly how I felt when I first visited in 1985, it wasn’t that I felt unwelcome, but it felt as though I was visiting somebody’s house who was either away or just in a different room. It was a very weird feeling. Maybe I felt that way because at the time Elvis‘s aunt Delta was still living in the home. And yes it still feels like a home, not a museum or a tourist attraction. That is the charm of Graceland…
I to was there in 1985 and I remember that when we went out back I looked at the door and I seen what looked like Elvis looking out the door. It was a funny feeling. You felt him there.
Absolutely. Feels if he's there and he's coming walk up to you and say "so you like my house"
@@vickiecraig9578 EFM youtube Elvis blood kin Billy,wife Jo . They were there from beginning to last night of his life.
She was living upstairs when I was there, also. But I sensed Him!
@@loripatterson7882 the aunt was???
I found Elvis thru the song I was the one. And 1993 I will one day make my trip to graceland. And thank you Presley family for all u do for us fans and all then men and women who take part in it .. And thank u Elvis for being so Amazing. ❤❤❤❤
EFM youtube Elvis blood kin Billy, and wife Jo. Till the final night of his passing.
I was young when Elvis passed away, and didn’t quite understand the significance. Later my cousin introduced me to his movies. After watching almost all of his movies, I cried for the loss of such a talented man. When my children were born, I sang each of them an Elvis song as their lullaby. They are all Elvis fans now as well. So his beautiful voice and entertaining movies are living on in new generations.
Jack Soden is a very nice man. I meet him in Memphis at the Elvis Resturant /Tavern and he couldn't have been nicer. Thanks Jack

He was the best and still is!
Opening Graceland to the fans is the best gift they could be given, You would think Elvis would approve, his fans were everything to him, Keeping upstairs private was a great decision, it's still Lisa's house to stay in whenever she wants.
Love everything about Elvis

@@christinalock9937 Elvis only had one brother and that was Jessie Garon Presley
Been to Graclands 2 times and it's brilliant to be there and feel like your so close to the greatest singer ever to have lived Elvis fan from Newcastle England since 1958 to present day and will be forever after looking forward to the movie best wishes to

Elvis passed a few years before I was born and im a huge Elvis fan. I'm from Australia and I visited Graceland in 2009. I felt the magic and felt Elvis's spirit just looking at the Graceland mansion from the moment I got to the gates of Graceland. Can't wait to return one day. If anyone ever has the chance you must go!
Meu sonho!!!❤

I visited Graceland in 1985. Never forgotten how amazing it was!! Hope to go back again!
May I ask....why do you say you want to go back to GRACELAND Again?
Elvis would be proud of pricillia she saved him that shows so much love she still has
I visited Graceland many years ago. Loved it. It was like getting to know Elvis from a different perspective.
Drove to Graceland on our road trip from Flagstaff Arizona to Pennsylvania with my two sons 20 and 15. December 2020. American history and Elvis artifacts seem to live and breath in this home and makes it America’s #1 home in the United States to see. It’s a Bucket list item I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to do and got to do it with two loves of my life. I was so proud and so happy I did it and I recommend for all fans of Elvis to make the trip to do this.
I can’t think of another celebrity who has their home open to the public. It’s a very unique experience.
Prince now does... I still need to visit both places one day.
Loretta Lynn in her childhood home.
Bless her for keeping his memories alive and sharing it to world. Always in our hearts
I’ve not got to visit Graceland but I hope to one day. Thanks Pricilla for keeping Graceland for the fans to get to see Elvis home. Elvis will always be remembered.
FYI lady she wasn't the one who opened it up get your facts right
@@dawngibbs691 who open it up to the public to go in
@@sandyhayre188 jack soden and Elvis dad
Yes-she was.
I haven’t been there , but just looking at the beautiful pictures of the home, I can sense Elvis spirit still lives there today. Soooo happy you kept everything the same and saved Graceland . 💖💖💖
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yay!! More Graceland content !!! So excited to be here and thanks you !!
EFM youtube Elvis blood kin Billy, from to Elvis last night!
Graceland Elvis Pricilla memories that should live on forever. Thank you Pricilla you have proven your love for Elvis in keeping his home. You could see the love you shared, But a beautiful man like him would be hard to keep to your self. He belonged to the world. Bless you Pricilla xx
EFM youtube Elvis blood kin Billy, and wife Jo. There with Elvis, right up to the final night
Can’t wait for the movie to come out.
I can tell you from experience that his spirit still in the Sun studio as well. When I walked through the door I almost fell over. It was like walking into a wall of energy. I spent part of the time like flat on the floor well the tour guide was telling us about the history of sound. For the rest of my vacation in Memphis I had a hard time getting out of bed. When I got back to Boston I went for an acupuncture treatment. The practitioner told me that my spirit was out of my body. And I told her I know exactly when it happened. It was that walk that step into sound studio.
I WANT TO SEE GRACELAND SOMEDAY!
Eu também...meu sonho!!!❤
Thank you for sharing Graceland with us!!
I have been to Graceland and it is so awesome to see I am so glad I got to see it
On behalf of all the elvis fans just wanted to say thank you to all at Graceland for the wonderful way that you have kept Graceland going and all of the hard work that it has taken to get it where it is today it couldn’t have been easy for Pricilla to make that decision but she wanted to keep the memory of elvis alive for the fans and also for her daughter and their children and grandchildren and for future generations to come to see what a great entertainer but let’s not forget that he was also a human being and a father and Graceland was his very special place where he could be himself and have his private time his left his legacy and his music
I’ve been there! Hope to get back some day.
Been there 3 times. Last time was 2016 Elvis week in august . Stayed at heartbreak hotel . Guest house was being built
She’s a phenomenon. Smart and respectful and has kept his legacy going for HIS love of fans! Beautiful.
My heart my soul
Prayers and love
Thank you
Long Live the King!
I am so glad that Graceland has been kept in the family. Thank you both for keeping Elvis's family home and legacy alive. Elvis is still the King in 2023 !
iam a big Elvis fan my dream is to go a visit Graceland one day ❤️❤️ U Elvis Aaron Presley Rip
It’s a beautiful place. Like a time capsule!
Thank You So much. I love Elvis then and now. And my Two Daughters love him. He was such a wonderful talented loving Human Being.We have been there twice.
Yes I agree. You walk into that home and you can sence Elvis like he is still there for sure. When I went in 92 you could smell bacon. It felt like someone just stepped out. We owe them a big thank you for saving it .
Thank you for saving Elvis ❤️.
I grew up listening to Elvis because of my brother and as I got older I realized I was born on Elvis’s birthday I’m so happy his wife saved Graceland
Thank you! For all you have done to preserve the memory and Legend of Elvis.
I would love to see it!!
Mahalo for opening Grace land!! Aloha!!
What a great story at Graceland. I never heard this story and am glad I got to hear it now. I love Elvis and would like to go to Graceland someday. I think he would have updated it and wonder what changes he would make to it if he were still alive today?
That’s not the real story.
My King, your King, our King. Thanks for sharing your home. I was lucky to visit Graceland and yes it has that feeling and you become part of his life being there.
THANK YOU! FOREVER KING ELVIS!!!!
Graceland is Lisa and her kids legacy . The only thing she has on earth of her Dad . His beloved home . I hope some day to see Graceland.. I loved Elvis and I grew up with uncles that played Elvis records all the time . Also took us kids to the drive in to see every movie Elvis made .To walk in his home would be magic
It was Priscilla’s home as well. Elvis loved her until he died. She saving for you all to go and enjoy. You should respect that.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING GRACELAND
Pricilla saved Graceland it is what it is today and for the man who helped her for every one to see. Graceland was Elvis home ...thankyou Pricilla bless you Elvis Lisa and Graceland. 🙏💕.from top of Australia 🦘..2022.
WE, THW WORLD NOT ONLY LOVED ELVIS…WE LOVED YOU
There will never be another Elvis... sure would be nice to see it as it was when Elvis last saw it in red.
About the closest you can get to picturing the red color scheme today is to go during the Christmas season, when they change the drapes to red. It certainly changes the look of the downstairs.
Yes that's right. Linda Thompson said when she was there Elvis changed the drapes/curtains to red. So it's not the same as Elvis left it... 🤔
Graceland is such a beautiful home and property with the horses and special rooms.
Thank you Cilla I know why he loved you ❤
Absolutely on my must-visit Wishlist 🌹🏮😥❣
I visited in 1997 was amazing
That’s what Elvis wanted ! For his family . His home ! Thank you Purcella!
I would love to come to Graceland.
A beautiful segment
My mother and I are handicapped and it would be impossible for us to travel and tour. I wonder if there is a virtual tour available for those who so want to be part of the experience but are physically unable.
There used to be.
It's my dream and I hope I get there one day soon
Visiting Graceland in June this year a big thank you to pricilla for letting all us fans in and preserving it for the world x
Elvis Presleys Graceland was first opened to the public 1982
Elvis loved the True king. Gospel songs!
was worried people wouldn't visit for the tour in 82 okaaaaay
I can’t wait to one day visit …..I’m going to Bendigo to see the display soon thank you for sharing
What a beautiful soul !
I love Elvis ❤
I wanna go sooo bad😔
I was there in 94'👍👑
Elvis spirts are in Graceland all the time. My son took me there on my birthday i felt close to Elvis there hes loved by mNy hope one day i wiil go ahain
I drove by Audubon home I felt Elvis's spirit
A very special place for the world that loved Elvis Presley for his generosity, music, and contributions of himself. Thank you, Mrs. Presley.
please build a home for the planes - they are in bad condition, standing outdoor all the years - what are you waiting for?
I’ve heard that it is part of the future plan but I can’t remember which year
That should have happened before the guest house was built
What lovely people. Bless you two. I am going this month yay
⚡
Such a beautiful soul.
TCB
Not been yet but still hoping one day maybe 🥰I will be exactly the same blown away 🥰
Elvis the movie does a great tribute to the King and Graceland :D
Bravo! So neat to hear the inside aspect of it all.
I hope the Presley's NEVER EVER sell Graceland. I hope that it stays with grandchildren and great grandchildren, etc. Class act! :)
Never quite understood why Elvis' blood family, Billy Smith was never included in anything. Elvis never forgot family. Whatever the reasons, the past is past.
Omg that's soooooo cute
Thanks for saving graceland I always think if heaven aint like graceland I don't wanna go
I still prefer Ann margret
They must have great security because Memphis is a cesspool where Graceland is located.
I know you put your heart and sole in this , will her daughter keep it up .
I think she will. They spend the holidays there. Her son is buried there.
I think she knew Elvis better than anyone...and she knew this is what he would have wanted.
This is amazing I wish they had done this with the playboy mansion
