- Sandi Miller met Elvis Presley in California in the mid 60's whilst he was spending a great amount of time there making movies.
As time went on they became close friends and she was regularly invited in to Elvis homes to visit with him.
Sandi took a great deal of candid photos of him spending time at the gates to his homes with the fans,talking and signing autographs.
In this interview she shares some of her special memories of him with me. - Hudba
What a lovely woman. You can see why Elvis liked her. But how gorgeous was Elvis inside and out❤️
Sandi met with me in Vegas. She’s the sweetest. We had a drink and a bite to eat and she shared stories and answered all
my burning question hahaha. What I find with most are they are very protective of Elvis even still. There are secrets that will stay just that. There’s a definite sense of loyalty.
You are quite lucky for that! That would be like a dream come true.
Elvis Presley never forgot his fans.
Elvis was a free spirit, so many sides to his personality, I guess he is playing his gospel in Heaven in God's special concert. Special man.
I could feel the kindness when Elvis took the girl away from the snickers. Such a wonderful sweet man.
His photographic memory helped him socially plus his southern manners. On top of him being talented, charismatic, beautiful, intelligent, spiritual...no wonder he still has his fans and is making new fans constantly.
She took the best Elvis Photos. Elvis Fans owe her a lot.
YES she did! I can't even imagine what life would be like without ALL the GREAT photos from Sandi. I'm not trying to sound dramatic or anything. Just being honest and sincere. Think about it, most of the gate photos and personal ones were from or by her. Now imagine not being able to see them or ever being able to see them. We All owe Sandi. THANK YOU Sandi!!
Where can I see her photos?
@@magikp6636 where can I go to see her photos??
Awesome photographs imagine they had been missed,just precious memories of the great man
T
50 000 000 fans are most certainly in agreement on what a fabulous person Elvis was!
We know quality when we see it!
What a man, a truly gifted legend.
I will defend his reputation and legacy every time I come across the degrading ignorance that some display when commenting negative stuff about him.
No one can touch Elvis when it comes to being authentic, sincere and humble.
His ever escalating fame never reached his ego.
We will surely miss him until we are called home ourselves.
Much love to all Elvis fans out there!
ELVIS is truly missed .💙
Sandi was so right .. never been another artist who loved his fans like EP .. she was one very lucky lady. Some great pics too .
Yes J RC
sandi Would do ice cream runs in her Ford Pinto down at thrifty’s when you can get ice cream cones for $.10 I believe she worked there full time in the paint department When she wasn’t making house calls
A beautiful interview raw and honest, showing a side of Elvis that is not spoken about much.
What a lovely interview! Sandi seems like a really nice person and how lucky to know not only Elvis, the performer but Elvis, the man! I saw Elvis in concert on June 1, 1977, never guessing he would be gone in less than 3 months. Gone too soon but never forgotten! ❤️
Elvis was a lovely man after listening to this I love him evan more. She is a really lovely lady proper stories about Elvis the man not the performer
Glad you enjoyed it
Every time a person who knew Elvis talks about him, it seems that at this very moment he embraces him with all the strength of his soul. And you just physically feel this incredible warmth, this immense tenderness, this great love and emanating from his heart. Even after so many years, and I would even say that the more time passes, the stronger these feelings are. And yes, you said quite correctly here that when you listen to Elvis, you experience genuine, pure happiness.
❤
I completely agree whenever I hear things spoken about Elvis like this I feel a warmth and peacefulness !
What a great interview. I felt that the story of him being kind to the girl was so deeply felt by him since he was so shy growing up & kids weren’t so nice to him. I’m glad he remembered that and was able to pay forward with kindness towards others.
Elvis Presley was GOD'S gift to the world. ❤
Couldn't agree more.
Well said Kimberly
I agree totally. You put it perfectly...👍
No. The one in your picture was God’s gift to the world, his son.
@@patttate7784 YES I KNOW THAT
@@kimberlystankiewicz2529 Then place no others before him for he is a jealous God
I agree with what Michael said! He will never be forgotten by anyone that can appreciate music and Elvis who performed for us. A true treat from our Lord!!!!!!
I listen to Elvis's music everyday and it seems all of us fans are connected and it seems that way because Elvis himself looked upon his fans as real human beings and his humanity connected us with him and each other❤
Echoing your phrase “ you can never get enough Elvis”~ Thank you for sharing your memories Sandi~
Can you imagine being in the same house with Elvis and knowing you would see him again the next morning? How could you sleep? Lol it makes me really emotional! I’d really love to see a book by her of her pics of him! I didn’t know she had a book of photos. She’s such a sweet lady.
Thank u sandi. Ur luky to have met Elvis. To tell u the truth, i always and and wish to see elvis in my dream singing and perform. I was born in 1968 that was his come back. Elvis will always be in my heart. His personality is one in a million. Rest in peace my love🙏😘❤️
Thank you. It's beautiful to hear people speak of their friend Elvis with such love.
I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s I love 💕 his music and flims too elvis will always be the king 👑 of rock and roll 🎸 1:44pm
She took time to meet one day. Salt of the earth like Elvis. So grateful for all the pictures she took. She said if you hung at the gate you had a 90% chance of meeting Elvis
Sandy your so beautiful ty for sharing Elvis with us fans😁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
No wonder you were so excited about this interview! What a lovely lady and such wonderful stories about Elvis that makes us love him even more (if that's possible.)
Thanks Deb
Fantastic Steve. Elvis really was the full package.. The king..... Shaun
Thanks Shaun
All the best
I've been listening to Al your stuff and every Sunday. I don't jion in now so much but I'm there. Your doing a fantastic job mate..... 👍
Very kind....more planned for the new year
Loved the story of Elvis showing the sister around. He did the right thing of giving her personal attention and just shooting them a dirty look rather than directly telling them to stop being mean to her over her looks.
Another great interview Steve, What a lovely lady she sounds loved to hear all the stories and see all the pictures ,Just shows what a fantastic guy Elvis was ,Wish he was still with us. .I would love to have met him ,what an awesome man with a voice like no other I will never get tired of his music and smooth voice
Thanks Steve and Sandi
Cheers Andy
What a great interview. It never ceases to amaze me how kind and humble this
man remained. As a woman I would have given almost anything to have been in
her shoes for one day. Thank you for this interview.
Thanks Richard
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved this interview. I would loved to have been a friend of Elvis than a girlfriend. She is so lucky to have known Elvis. Thank you for this great interview.
Glad you enjoyed it
me also
What a lovely story about the elderly lady Jane when Elvis showed up at her door. What a kind and lovely man.❤️
Thank you Steve, thank you! I LOVE Sandi, but I've only seen that one interview with her on CZcams and always wanted to hear more from her. She was so lucky! She had the best of Elvis, being a fan and then a friend, she didn't have to go through the same heartache as a girlfriend. I love the story of the lady he tracked down in the trailer park, I've never heard that one before. Who else would ever do such a thing? Only Elvis, that's for sure. It's hard to believe that she knew Elvis all the way back in the 60s, she sounds so young. It's fantastic that she's here to tell about it, I wanted it to go on longer. GREAT interview, I loved it!
Thanks a lot
And as always thanks for your support
Now, this is the first time I will dare to share a thought of mine that has evolved in me after all these years I have been watching Elvis, not only as an artist but also and especially as an individual and it concerns the way people felt or reacted when he entered a room, or even when he was just around... I don't know how to put it in words because it is really bold but there is only ONE I heard/read people reacted the same way and that was... JESUS(that's really bold)... I don't compare, not possible. What I mean is Elvis must have had something Devine about him. He was not just an ordinary person, he was special and this a common fact because everyone who ever met him says exactly the same thing. I don't want to insult anybody's faith but this impression has stuck on my mind for years. And as we know about HIM, Elvis was also betrayed by the ones who were close to him.... I wish I had the chance and luck to meet him, only once...
This one of my favorite interviews
I’m sadly one of the many people who never got to see this great man when he was alive, I was just 7 years old when he passed on,. But just like so many others who never got anywhere close to him “Elvis still managed gave us all something”,... Only gods chosen have this special magic, Thank you God,. Thank you Elvis,🙏🏼❤️
Hi steve what a lovely lady watched a spa guy video with Sandi she was just as nice then as she is now told us about elvis the man not the image when she told the story of elvis passing I can tell you steve I was crying and I never met ELVIS PRESLEY thank you Sandi. Steve what can l say a great scoop of an lnterview thank you Steve once more stay well and keep TCB
Thanks Robert.
I agree,Sandi is lovely and I can see why Elvis liked her
This interview is full of caring and genuine concern of loving people who came across Elvis's life and the impression he made in their lives, thank you for sharing
loved this wonderfull man since I was 11 ❤️I am 75 now and he is still big part of my daily life with his beautifull voice! 😇❤️
What a fascinating interview with Sandi. I understand why Elvis loved to spend time with her. She makes a wonderful spokesperson for Elvis, and a wonderful friend. Sandi, you are so lucky, you have had a amazing life.
Elvis was like no one else. I love the story about him tracking down the elderly lady. What a sweet thing to do. His momma raised him right. He was mistreated by so many when he was growing up he made sure he treated his fans good.

The day Elvis died there was a very bad thunderstorm here in the U.K.

Glad you enjoyed it Gloria

Very nice how Sandi describes how Elvis has been as a person. You can picture it like that, as Sandi puts it into words that time with Elvis. Wonderful to listen to for us fans. Great interview Steve, and a big thank you to Sandi.

@@robyncollins1242 Every true Elvis fan knows Elvis died on August 16th 1977. Please stop writing about your mad ideas on this channel, because I assume you have a brain.
So emotional at the end of this interview actually in tears now, the more stories I hear about him the more I am so jealous of the fans who got to meet him and spend time with him truly one in a lifetime remarkable human being and enormous talent! Thank you for making these interviews possible Steve 🙏
So glad you enjoyed it
This further solidifies what I already knew
That he was the most beautiful soul. And throwing in the most beautiful on the outside as well. ❤
Great interview once again, Steve. Sandi is a lovely and lucky lady. Those heartwarming stories of Elvis showing how thoughtful and caring he was, just makes me love him even more, if that's possible. I wish all the Elvis haters could hear these wonderful stories. Thanks for sharing this with us. You are a superb interviewer! 👍
Very kind, thank you
Wow Sandi.. u n Elvis looked good together. Yall shoulda got together. God bless u for loving him n bein his friend.
Sandy with a eye" thank you for your inside storys.. thank you for sharing!!!
Sandi should publish her journals. She would make a fortune.
A lovely lady and great interview there.
This was worth watching twice… I hope you do a part two with her… I could listen to her stories for six hours!! Excellent interview!!
Fantastic story!
Elvis had a so beautiful and endearing soul !!!!!!!!!!!
I really like her! Love it when she said, "he was prettier than anyone in the room, including the girls".
Thank you for that great interview...you are absolutely right
we can never get
enough of our Elvis.
Awesome interview Steve! You can tell she adored Elvis. Thanks Steve! Also, Thank you Sandy with an i !
I Loved Elvis Presley since I saw a heard him sing in king creole. Elvis presley to me was a Earth Angel. ❤❤❤❤❤
& i was his earth angel
Sandi I envied the chance you had with my idol Elvis..thanks for the memories
Great interview, no salacious gossip or betrayal of Elvis,s integrity.
This lady clearly holds Elvis in great esteem, and bears true witness as to knowing Elvis the person. She paints a clearer picture as to what made Elvis tick, her many stories are of Elvis being a people person and how , making others happy made him happy.
Not once throughout the interview did she show anything but the utmost love, respect and admiration for the the person she was proud to call her friend.
It was comforting to know that when she last saw Elvis he had mentioned about the changes he had planned to make, like you said it had been rumoured and also dissed by others. I think we can now believe that Elvis had a long reflection and he himself knew things had to change.
What I will say this ladies stories of the times she and other friends spent with Elvis at his various houses are nothing like the events certain people in his inner circle recollected, I think I know whose version I believe.
Elvis clearly liked this lady as a person and her him.
Very well said, thank you
Steve
I’ve seen her other interviews . She’s a sincere person and she genuinely cared about his welfare and his feelings.
I worked for ASA Advertising in Ft Worth.We did public relations for touring artists such as Bob Dylan....Liberace.
Willie Nelson....Cher...and Elvis I had the pleasure of spending a Satyrdat afternoon with Elvis when he appeared in Dallas at Moody Coliseum. Never saw this woman anytime.
Oh well...she has her fantasy.
Some of these are not Elvis
@@kenconlee6894 I think she new him in the 60’s.
I think she was around him before he started having problems.
LOVE this interview with Sandi Miller and her memories of dear ELVIS.....wonderful!!!
What an enjoyable interview! She's a sweetheart! You are right you Can't get enough Elvis! Hearing Sandi and others talk about him makes me love him even more!
What a lovely interview. I really enjoyed learning new things about Elvis. Ms. Miller seems like a wonderful lady. When she mentioned the time when Elvis became worried about the older couple shows what kind of person he was. To find out where the couple lived and personally go to their home to check on them . I don't think many artists/entertainers would do that. Elvis was one of a kind.
I don't think Any other artist would, but that's our Elvis!
This speaks volumes to his character 😊,the more I learn of Elvis I understand why he is still immortalized to this day .
😅 YES. THIS. WAS WORTH. 😅

Sandi with an i 🙌🏼Thank you for sharing such beautiful memories. Steve thank you for having Sandi on and giving us such amazing stories ⚡️This was absolutely touching 😇The ending is sad 😢💔💔💔💔💔
Yes, I agree 😪
I saw ELVIS IN LOS VAGAS IN 1974 HE WAS AWESOME..HE IS STILL ALIVE HE FAKED HIS DEATH.. 1977..HE IS NOW ELVIS....AS PASTOR BOB JOYCE. CHECK OUT HIS YT .CHANNEL. ITS AWESOME..CAIO FROM NZ LOOK AT Pastorbobjoyce.org...he sti sings a his great songs . He is alive...ALIVE TODAY.
She is such a sweet lady. She’s also very blessed to have had those memories with our King Of Rock! He was such an amazing person! It’s such a shame he died so young! He had so much more to do! But God called him home. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We love learning more about him. And everyone that shared times with him.
Steve I sent you a email today of Elvis in that yellow outfit I asked you about on Sunday afternoon. Thanks again for doing this interview with Sandi.
Another great interview well done Steve !
Golden nuggets for us fans and insight from Sandi who was there first hand !
Elvis really was a wonderful caring person looking and bringing attention to fans lost in the pack !
Glad you enjoyed it Derek
Really a great watch. I was impressed. She knew him well. Thanks
This is fantastic!! Thankyou
Fantastic! 👍😁
After Elvis passed,Charlie became a good friend so mine,thanks to some of my friends for the introduction.
We worked in Canada and the US for a while. Was great just sitting around and jamming together.
Miss them both🙏
Wow I am in tears. What a beautiful discussion. I loved hearing about who the real Elvis was. I love him singing, but would much rather hear him talk and be himself. He was so funny, and sounded like a Jack of All Trades interested in many subjects, and hobbies. I feel that he and I would have been best friends as we have a lot of similarities, and interests. I started crying of course towards the end. The two things that got me were, his last words to her, when changing yourself, just realizing those things are half the battle and he was there half way, I'm sad he wasn't able to make it fully, but he wanted to change and help himself and I am happy to hear that. As for the second thing that got me was when he was waving goodbye to her and said drive safe, that's something I always say, and knowing he also said that and his kindness just got me.
Miss you so much EP
Steve, these types of fan interviews are so unique and add yet another dimension to Elvis’ personal life and behind the scenes of those countless public performance pictures. Thank you for doing what you’re doing.
Thanks Jane
That means a lot
Stay safe and have a great Christmas

You heard me say during the interview that I wished I'd met him
How incredible. You even made me cry. It's nice to hear the sweet story's.
I had a big lump in my throat too ☹️

What a beautiful interview and remembrances of a beautiful man. Elvis had to have been one of the kindest and caring people on Gods earth. He was definitely a gift from God.. I miss him to this day.. TCB⚡️
Excellent interview!!!
That was a very enjoyable interview, Steve.
Thanks Nancy
I love these interviews that show how much people loved Elvis and the heartwarming stories about how wonderful Elvis was as they remember him.
We’re always trying to get even closer to Elvis the man if that’s possible. However, this achieved that. It was heart warming, insightful and reminded us what a beautiful heart he had & that he had time for so many other people whilst being a superstar at the same time. Hence why we love him so. Her story relating to the day he passed was very moving...I could visualise the events happening as she explained..Gulp! Thanks Steve, great interview & thanks for sharing Sandi ❤️🤴🏻⚡️
Thanks Paul
Sandi is a lovely Lady
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel Steve thanks for talking to Sandi! She’s a lovely sincere caring heart.
I was 12 yo when he died. I'll never forget when I watched the news on TV that day 😭😭😭😭.... Love him forever ❤
I learned so many new things about Elvis. Thank you for having this on. There are so many negative things said about him that it’s good to hear how things actually were by someone who was actually with him. Love this. 💖💫💖💫💖
👏🏻Great interview, I can’t believe my eyes were wet after listening after all this time. 👍🏻
Another great interview! Elvis really was something else...will never be another! ⚡️👑
Glad you enjoyed it...it was a little emotional too wasn't it? 😪
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel Yes! 🥺
I am Heterosexual and very comfortable in my skin!!
That being said.. Elvis was one Lucky guy. He everything & anything a man could want or need in Spades!!
Unbelievable how a guy could be so good looking & just Loveable!! 🦅
❤very nice interview and very sweet memories 😊 thank you for sharing
Great story's you can't buy...what a man ! All the press write about is how over weight he went and story's like that. Shame on the press. Sandie has kept his memory beautiful and shared them
This is so special...makes me cry. I love it.Thank you so much
I'm glad you enjoyed it Susy
My gosh, I'd love to read Sandi's journals. That's what we need to know, what he said, what he wore, what he did. She really needs to get them published for us. It was so sad to hear that the last time she saw him he told her he was going to take time off, get healthy and go down another path. I wonder who the girl was, I'm sure if it was Ginger, she would have remembered. Another great interview Steve, thank you. Thank you also to Sandi for sharing your memories. 💖💖💖
The bank teller, was going on tour with him .
Jacqueline I Totally agree! I'm Sure millions of people would also Love to read them. I think that they should be published as is. Untouched, unedited, as if you were reading the original from her home. As f it were a diary. Which I guess it or they are. What a treat and honor that would be to read them. We can only hope! And on your other point. NO that wasn't Ginger. Sandi knew who it was I'm sure. But out of respect and honor she wouldn't say. I'm sure it was the woman he was taking on concert with him. If you've heard (which I'm sure you have) stories by the guys saying or telling that Ginger was NOT going on concert with him that another woman was. Even going as far as saying that he would NEVER marry Ginger that he was in Love with this other woman. Sandi pretty much just verified the other's stories. That Elvis was spending time in Palm Springs with another woman and was taking her on the upcoming concert with him.
Steve I’m so glad you got to interview her. I know you enjoyed it cause I so enjoyed listening to her. When I saw her before on interviews I was wishing for allot more. Thank you Steve for this.
Great 👍 interview. Sandi seems like she is a beautiful person and she is was a lucky lady
Elvis was a kind man.
