- This video is about The Spa Guy telling the story of the first Acetate Record Elvis recorded at Memphis Recording Service with Marion MacInnes and what happened to that record that was for his Mama.. Don't forget to subscribe..
Surprised it survived the scorching summer temperatures of a Tennessee attic for so many years.
Billy elvis would be proud of you, for giving all of us elvis fan great info, and a true Tennessee man 👍
Hello from England
Elvis took a chance and he was lucky. He was in the right place at the right time and so to were the Memphis Recording Service people
I have read so many books about Elvis,and the truth keeps changing. Whenever I watch your videos I keep learning new things,never knew about Marion's last name. I find your detecting fascinating,thank you so much for sharing :)
Thank You For Watching.. My mission is to find the truth and set the record straight.. Spa Guy
J absolutly agree with you.... j do the same from Sweden 🇸🇪💐
amen!
@@SpaGuy thank u
@@SpaGuy yes SIR.. Mr SpaGuy .... that's how i see it. You shake facts then sort through what is presented and share what you and your team find. It's tough to come up with proof where there is fiction, hearsay, fabucation of stories told without proof. YesSIR... we all understand your efforts and we all thank you. Not sure what motorvates ya. ...but keep at it staying healthy as ya'll do it amen!
I am loving all this history and true history , thank you spa guy , I’m 27 and I’ve heard of Elvis it’s incredible how even now he is as popular as he has ever been
Incredible! I can't believe the record stayed in that house for so many years. I'm glad it ended up in a place where it will be taken care of and displayed for everyone to see. Amazing story, Spa Guy. 👍👍
Wow! Thanks for all of your hard work finding the truth behind these myths. Very interesting.
I love all the history of Elvis that you’ve put out here for us! Thank you for all you do, I’m a huge Elvis fan and learning all this cool stuff you ever so kindly dig up for us is truly amazing and so interesting!! Please keep these coming!
Spa Guy we talked of this: You are the man when it comes to Elvis history and forensics! This is so classic into understanding Elvis Presley. Thanks!
I clicked on this video thinking I knew everything you would tell us, but then you went and did it again!!! Surprised me!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Amazing research and proof of young Elvis, he is so missed ! Thank you Billy, love your dedication to bring us truthful info on our Elvis ! ⚡️👍🏻
Another great story. You really tightened up on that one !
lol yes he did. thank u.... helping encouraging SpaGuy.

seeing videos of Elvis rehearse you can tell he is a perfectionist and I think you are right he didnt like the record and he didnt want it! Its cool that jack White bought the record and he is a hell of a musician himself! It good to know that he is an Elvis fan!
Who else but the Spa Guy brings this much passion to tell the story of Elvis Presley? He will knock on any door, and go anywhere to tell this story. I LOVE this video because it's filled the humanity and insecurity of a young person who first summons the will to reach out for their dream. And even more so, the tremendous gift of being believed in. Would Elvis have ever made a record without Ed Leake pressing him to go to Memphis Recording Studio, and even accompanying him and loaning him the money to make the record? There is no joy like beginning. THANK YOU Spa Guy for this great story about dreams, friendship and the gift of being Believed in!
Thank You Burke!!
I wish those people had been there when you knocked on the door. I'd like to see the shock on their faces when you tell them what happened in their house. I hope you can go back there. I'd like to hear that recording. Thanks for sharing this story.
Fascinating yet again brilliant detective work by the one and only spa guy 😄
Im 60 and always liked Elvis. However, for some reason this year I am obsessed with ANYTHING about him!!! I just cant get enough!! Thank you so so much for ALL your full details about him. This is all new to me. I am very appreciative of ALL your videos. Even the drives!!! Ty!!!!!
Great job!!!! it’s so upsetting to be such a dedicated Elvis fan and have been told many different stories and most are made up and distorted ☹️
Thank You Laura, When I started finding these stories not to be true I was baffled.. There is a widely accepted and told narrative that is in many books and even still told by people who were there and most of it is not true.. I often wonder if the Colonel created the narrative to be part of the Elvis Mystique to make it more like a fairytale..
@@SpaGuy i knew i wasn't the only one with that thinking. i have far more thoughts then just parker. i believe Elvis was a distraction we needed. and became better than thought. so he was hilighted as a what....cashcow.... he was enabled to become a drug abused person. knowing he'd kill himself. money still coming. his life was controlled by us. we killed him yet stilllove him cause he is generating money. he'll never die til this world of people feel we need another distraction. ... jus a thought. That's what this god is.. adistraction frm us being so meanminded. jus my opinion.... as u knw yet my facks of my veiw of this life we all share. as road signage, etc. i believe i lead a submissive life with an open mind. sir i enjoy info u share.
@@r.d.g.7877 I do not ever believe Elvis would take his own life. He loved God and he knew God would not like that. It’s the only reason I get irritated with Priscilla. She says he knew what he was doing. And ODed on purpose. I still don’t think he did anything that night planned. I think Elvis had medical issues that day. But in desperation to get rest he grabbed that stuff he was allergic to. He was so nervous cause he had his tour coming up. He couldn’t sleep maybe having vowel issues. God rest his soul!
@@gracieg7601 I don't believe Priscilla's version either. She wasn't there for one thing. Elvis had a lot of health issues and his body failed him....just worn out. I miss him though. RIP Elvis.
@@gracieg7601 How about "bowel issues" Isn't a "vowel" a term used in English composition! And Elvis could sing verbs, adjectives,n even prepositions out of a phone book n still sound good! Lol! But no "vowels"!
Another fantastic Elvis trivia video Mr. Spa Guy. Have listened to this several times. Enjoyed the information on Elvis' first recorded record very much. And dispelling the myths ! What I don't understand is why Graceland/ EPE would sale the recording. Are they that hard up for money ?! I think it should of stayed at Graceland as part of Elvis' history and legacy. Have a blessed day. Tighten up.
Dear Mr. Spa Guy,
Thank you for all of the hard work that you put in to bring us these videos! We only see the finished product, but i do'nt believe that most people realise that you put in many, many hours in research, travel, editing, talking with people, and not to mention, the money you spend on putting all this together. I for one, just want to aplaud you, Mr. Billy!
You truly are doing a great service to all of us, Elvis fans, by keeping his legacy accurate. I've learnt a great deal of things that i never knew about Elvis.
Thank you, very much!!
Thank You for the encouragement just know it is a Labor of Love for both Ashley and I.. I had a dream to see these stories come to life and share them others and the dream is coming true.. Spa Guy
Beautiful beautiful.
Spa GuyThank you Mr. Billy, for your kind reply! Im very sorry for not mentioning Ms. Ashley in my original post! Please tell her that she's very much appreciated, and we're all very grateful for the hard work that she puts forth as well!
Have a great Easter, Mr. Billy and Ms.Drew.
hey there , thee spa guy !!! hope everything's well !! i always find your little segments very very interesting !!! you definitely do your research that's for and it's very appropriate my friend !!! alot of information on my man Elvis... thanks for all you do God bless you and your family !!!!! thanks again for your time giving us nothing but true information on thee king life !!! i definitely do tighten up every chance i get to tighten up !!!!
Hi Spa Guy another great piece of history on Elvis keep up the great work Joe from NJ
Amazing information! Your research into Elvis History is second to none! Love your channel! Thank you so much for sharing!
Veeeeery interesting and sad that all these People are gone. Thank you very much from France 🇫🇷.
This was really brilliant to watch. Thank you so much for it.
Didn't know these facts at all!
I have a CD album set called, I think, Elvis Presley's Greatest Hits that I bought in about 1991, and I believe "My Happiness" is on it! I'll have to find them. I had no idea that they were released so late, I thought that Elvis had it released when he was a young man. Blows my mind a little. And "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" is one of my favorites by him, I have many! I have heard the original to that song also but I don't believe that I have it.
But the history details are very interesting, it allows a much more complete picture to be painted about his life and career, thank you!
Another interesting thing that I found out a little later in life was the Christmas album from I think the early 70s, which I grew up on and we played for many years, had the picture of him in his blue jacket with the vertical white stripes, I thought for years that it was a snow ski jacket and that he was on a snowy mountain somewhere in Tennessee.
How
Exciting to make a record !
This is AMAZING!!!
Another Great Video !!! Thanks again and God bless you
amazing video SpaGuy.
Amazing story you've put together Billy - keep it up & Thank You!
Great story spa guy love hearing all the historical moments in Elvis life
I have been a fan since my teens and will always love Elvis
Hi this is fantastic thank you 👍
Decided to get Elvis to go make this recording 👍.good job spa guy From 🌞 Cali.
Amazing story Billy thank you buddy.
Elvis, like to of you too, was such a large piece of MY life. Its so wonderful to know a little more about his life from your hard work and dedication, Thank you buddy! :) Herb

Billy, You did it again. This time mind blown. Wow. Wow. So much information in so little time. Thank you.
Fantastic video!
Hi Billy.watching this tonight.WoW so appreciate all your hard work as always.This is so so exciting !!! for all us fans.fascinating finding.beautiful.thanks for putting the stories straight.cant wait for the next one I’m sure I speak for all us Elvis fans. Thank you so much Billy.have a great weekend my friend.uk 💽
Thank you Spa Guy for your dedication to really all of us Elvis fans and your hard work In finding all of the interesting things you share with us! God Bless you. I’m 1 more Elvis fan and have been since I was a very young child. I’ve had the pleasure of touring Graceland on 2 occasions and hope to go back soon. Thank you again Sir.
I have that record too Billy. It was a Record Day special. Don't know if you know about Record Day. Someday Billy I'd like you to show the O.K. Houck Piano Co. store at 121 Union Ave. and go inside for a little tour. One of the most important and probably least known rock & roll places in Memphis. As always, Tightin' up bro!!
VERY COOL AND AWESOME STORY SPA THE HISTORY OF ROCK N ROLL!
Mindblowing. I'm guessing you're right and Elvis wouldn't have thought those recordings were up to much. Cutting that record with 2 sides would have been the only way he had of finding out what he sounded like. Singing is one thing listening to yourself is another. You learn all kinds of things listening to yourself. Things you like things you can improve on. Elvis was still learning and what you hear is the potential on those recordings.
Awesome video again...I live in Alabama but have never been to Memphis since I have gotten older. My mother use to sing gospel music in the 70's-2000 so we traveled "through" Memphis alot but never got to stop and visit places.
Love your work man & attention to detail.
Awesome video Billy!!!!
hey there billy hope everything well , you are the best you gave me more then just information you gave me facts i really really enjoyed it !!! God bless you and ur family !! looking forward to more of your segments , till then great day my friend !!!! 🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸 🎸
Billy....thank you for correcting history...You are a national treasure!
i am so entertained watching/listening to what you're doing... I'm finding myself on edge of this seat i was seated into... stoping this video to text.....??? o heck sry for showing lack if patience... I'll get back later
Wow i thought i did know evrything about Elvis ,but today is the first time i hear about Ed Leek and his $4 loan to Elvis !
I agree that Elvis was probably not satisfied with those first recordings. Thanks for sharing
So good!! You’re my hero spa guy
Leann Brooks is
Darlene Smith ?
Just awesome Billy. Great investigative talent. I hope you’ll be able to get inside Ed Leek’s house one day - brilliant!
You tightened up great thanks !
Great 👍
So glad he and his buddy walked through those doors !
I love this story and the beautiful song! Thank you Billy for doing so much research and keeping these stories alive, and all you do! God bless you.
Hi Spa Guy. As I already told you going to Memphis in the next 4 days. So excited. Even more after watching your videos. The knowledge given by you has made everything so much more interesting and enjoyable.. You are a legend in your own right and Elvis would be so proud of you. I would love a replica of the record MY HAPPINESS. Could you please let me know where I could get one. Would look great in my Elvis room. Thanks. Keep on. Keeping on.🕺🏻
Karen, Thank You So Much.. I am a Fan just like you who wanted to see these things and figure out what really happened.. I got my replica record off eBay.. I went to Third Man and they said they will not be producing anymore so what is out there is it.. I only paid about 50.00 on eBay.. Thank You for watching and the encouragement I will show this to Ashley Drew too.. Tighten up and have fun in Memphis... Let me know what you do.. Spa Guy
@@SpaGuy who is ashley drew 🤔 a reporter 🤔💚🌾
I just want to thank you for letting people know that people could get a copy of it. My copy just came in a few days ago and i love it. I'm going to treasure it forever. I love your videos i learn so much that i didn't know. I've been an Elvis fan before he even passed away. Thanks again
Brilliant!
Awesome as always. I appreciate what you do! I wonder if Ed and Elvis kept in touch.............
Amazing !
Great video, thanks Spa Guy! Can't wait for you to return the the house and knock on the door again. Would love to see if they know about about it all. Do they even know Elvis was in the house!? :O
I was so hoping they would answer but they didn't.. They were home though.. Maybe next time..
Spa Guy I see. Yeah maybe they looked out and saw the camera or they had a security camera. Try next time.
@@SpaGuy my gma was home and she was sleep our doorbell dont work
Elvis Presley the King forever
Wow love it billy ty man elvis at a early age knew what good and great music was the man had it all but i will say most of the guys that he had around did not care about him as a person only as a cash cow many interviews can back my words up the man dies alone not cool at all but his music brings love to many and ty for everything billy your great
This my friend, is by far the best one yet!!!! I'd like to see you do an Introduction/Interview with Ashley Drew.... Ps.. Where can you buy a copy/replica of EP's first record?
Seems like the guy here is superior investigator. Thgis means it might become more and more imnportant in the future because people care and want accuracy.Well done from canada.
Amazing! Hope you were finally able to get a look inside Ed Leeks house! I would love to know
Not so far but I have talked to them a couple of times.. Still working on getting inside..
As a musician myself i can tell you that we are the harshest critics of ourselves. Courage of two months to do that song. Self doubt abounds, even for a young Elvis. I agree 100%. And i bet that is why the recording stayed with his friend. I always thought he was a truck driver. I tell you what.. the investigative skills are second to none!
We are too hard on ourselves Frank!! Thanks for watching.. Spa Guy
God job and thanks mate! Yeah and that "Who do you sound like"? I hate that question. It is code for "Boy, who you trying to copy" ..Elvis don't stand in no ones shadow. That is why he is the king. Young Elvis or later. F
ElVIS sounded like ElVIS. Like he said without hesitation and honesty, "I don't
sound like nobody". 😎✌️❤️. 1-25-22
That's cool didn't know this...Jack White actually grew up in Detroit Michigan area and lived several miles from where I grew up...never knew he had bought this record
What a story,good job,enjoyed the video. You are good, thanks EG
you're videos are compelling.i would love to visit Memphis /graceland before I die, it is my dream.keep up the good work. neil,england.
Fantastic detective forensic work Mr Spa Guy ! A great tribute to Elvis & his classmate Edwin.
Love your videos!
Just love it thanks😊😊
Very cool. Intense info and research. Love it.
This has nothing to do with your video but just wondering every time they show the videos of Elvis and Priscilla getting married and the press conference after, they always dub music over it and you never get to hear what was actually said (meaning the audio of them saying their vows and their responces to the press conference afterward).. so I'm wondering,
Has it ever been released the actual audio of those videos? If so, where can I find that? And Have you ever heard it?
Awesome question !
Yes! I have always wondered about that too! That would be some awesome audio to obtain.
I've wondered that myself, but just assumed during the sixties, the technology on home movie cameras wasn't advanced enough to record audio. Would love to know what they said!
i think it would been traditional so b reason volume of music amped iam not meaning to seem rude, but hey... would Elvis of sang to her.... NO, but hey...forgetboutit .. voes were traditional... n my non-meanminded comment.
Thank you for setting the record straight. You do great investigative work. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
I always thought it was odd Elvis was so nervous before a concert. He was amazing and there will never be anyone else like him
Such a wonderful Video thanks 👍
Very interesting information keep up the good work I love listening!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️⚡ TCB ❤️
Another amazing story! Elvis was such a perfectionist and his own worst critic! I don't remember if it was Charley or one of his band members that said when in the studio recording Elvis would do one song all night long until he was satisfied. Also they would do like 10 or 12 takes and he'd listen and they'd end up with the first take being used. Shows how hard he worked to give us the perfect music. I've watched videos where he sang some songs he recorded, and I like the songs better because they weren't overdubbed like RCA did. I've listened to some sessions that are so much better because you can appreciate HEARING Elvis without everything kinda drowning him out.
You have imop the best Elvis facts page on CZcams. Thank you for awesome content
Thats a good one. wow.
Gostei do passeio por onde o Elvis iniciou sua carreira artística. A gravadora Sun Records está intacta.
Awesome thanks for the videos like I have said many times you are awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Billy, love your approach to your videos, and I believe you are doing a lot of important preservation of history before it is gone, so thank you for that. Just wanted to add, that on a soundboard of his Vegas comeback (not sure which date) Elvis discusses his career, and mentions making his first recording but never says it was for his mother, but for his "own personal use," so I think the media has possibly created the idea that his motivation to do his first record was to give it to his mother. Thank you again, keep up your work, its importance will grow in time.
He actually said in an early interview that his mother had it and they wore the grooves off of it.. But it was all made up of course.. I believe Sam created the story..
Billy, one other thing, your videos not only document history but you take us into Elvis' mind at (any) particular time, for instance, the video where you recreate Elvis' possible route he would take on his first motorcycle after he had gotten rich. I felt like I was in Elvis mind thinking about getting an even nicer home (than Autobahn) like an Estate like the many homes he would pass on his route practicing on his motorcycle. Your videos are special in that way which tells me you are the one meant to do this.
Thank You Doug.. It is my honor..
I'll debunk the myth that if Elvis's friend failed to convince Elvis to record, we never would have got his music. C'MON, with his voice, he was bound to record his talent!!
There are plenty of people who can sing.. It was more than that.. He was turned down several time before this..
Spa guy ....just when I thought history couldn’t be revised....you go and take well known events and break it down to a forensic detailed account that blows my mind......fantastic job
Mark we have found much of the accepted history to be myths.. That is why I love history.. We challenge what we think we know to see if it really is true and many times it is not at all like we have been told it was.. Thank You for watching..
Spa Guy ....No sir...Thank you for posting and sharing your passion ...I’ve recently discovered your videos and during this time of social distancing and isolation, I must tell you that they have been a Godsend.....I’m now sharing your knowledge and facts with my elderly Father who has been a huge Elvis fan his whole life......incredible service you’re providing and you should know that you are appreciated
Sorry to bother you again Sir.....but I think it would be fantastic if you were to do something on the time Elvis met the Beatles....conflicting stories and very much a mystery.......I just know you would uncover information, discuss details, match pictures etc etc.....fascinating topic and perfect subject matter......anyways you do your thing and thank you
Love your videos, I’ve learned so many interesting things about Elvis and his family.
Very interesting
Love it !!! Wonderful Work !!! Thank you again !!!
Brilliant investigation thank you Spy-guy ...
Great job, thank you Sir.
Brilliant thank you
Please ,. In the near future go back and see if we can go to the room where they listened to it the first time. Thank you so much....
That will be an upcoming video..
Your amazing Spa Guy , thank you 😊
Great video Billy ~ thanks again for your time and effort to bring us things we'd never know and for bringing the truth about everything ~ God bless
Cool!
So cool. I saw some very rare photos of Elvis on CZcams that belonged to the late Sonny West from Hidden spotlight treasures, I could not believe those didn't go to Graceland or Lisa even?
Neither Graceland or Lisa care about those things..
That's sad. I saw there were tons of pictures that man had. I loved to look at all of them.
Thanks for keeping us on things you find out, love your tutorials. Keep up the good work, Marticia Buckner
as you know Elvis was a perfectionist and when he was in the studio rehearsing he could go over that one song 20 times or more because he never thought that they were perfect but they never sounded the way he wanted it sound did that guy give a copy to Sun Studios to put it on the market and was that record you had a 33 and a third or a 78
The Record I bought is a 10" 78 replica of the original..
