Hi Bill. Oh I love when you so generously share with us your walk in the footsteps of the young Elvis and give us these rare stories. Thank you and have a nice day. Nice photos too Hugs from Maggie, Sweden👍💕💖
Awesome Spa guy thanks so much for documenting all of this for us. It's much appreciated.
Brilliant, thanks Billy. And this concert happened even before that’s alright mama came out; while Elvis was virtually anonymous.
George Klein was also at Katz that day. Inside the wooden Indian doing a remote radio broadcast. He talks about it in his book: Elvis my best man. Great video as always Spa Guy
Awesome, I'll look for it tomorrow when I'm in Memphis shopping for saltwater reef aquarium fish and corals. We usually have a little quick picnic at Graceland on the way back to MS every weekend we're in town. I would work there for free if I didn't have any bills.... love the place ; . )
thank you billy ,once again another interesting story.from,,,,,,neil (England ).
Thank you...This is a new story for me appreciate you sharing knowledge!
From singing in a parking lot in '54 to stardom in '56.
I love the pre mega star stories of Elvis. This was interesting the him and Cash met before either was big. Really cool.
Very interesting. Love the Elvis trivia. You are the best at getting Elvis trivia. Tighten up.
✨We Can’t lose this fine history !!!✨🇺🇸🌹
Another Great Video Spa Guy!
Thank you for very great and fun information, always a big joy watching you.
Best wishes from a young Elvis fan, from Denmark ;-)
😊😊😊😊😊 So good, I really hope the Presley family know how good and very well researched your work is, I hope they know of you, and the fact that you do this without charge. When I went to Graceland and guesthouse hotel,after a forty year wait, I felt like I was being taken advantage of and Elvis was really being flogged! I did enjoy seeing Graceland, but your work is very original most everything else is constantly regurgitated. Very enjoyable. Xxx
Thank You for watching Tracey!!
Loved this thanks!!
Mr. spa guy. Thank you again. When one watches your videos they can feel safe that your handling these subjects with love and respect. Sticking to truths and a wonderment of the phenomena what was E. ☺

NICE WORK SPA GUY STALLINGS!!! I have often wondered if any of the Memphis Mafia guys ever teased Elvis and Lamar Fike about this mall area and also there being a LAMAR AVE. Before being a Elvis Presley Blvd.... Which Marty Lacker had a Huge hand in getting this Done for Elvis, his own Street Name!!! Thanks again SPA GUY Stallings!

Thank you for all the great research you have done on Elvis's life. I grew up in North Dakota, and worshipped him as a young man and to this day. Your videos have shown me the real Elvis as a person. Something I never had access to as a child. Keep up the good work!

Another great video but I would also like to say Rest In Peace DJ Fontana great drummer
You never leave me saying less than wow! I try to imagine the crowd think who is this fella lol. I really enjoyed the extra info on Johnny and the others. As for the photos its kinda frustrating trying to decipher the real ones from the photoshopped. I am afraid the we will loose sight of what the real photos look like. Thank you again my friend for this wonderful share.
Great video Billy ~ Thanks for bringing us Elvis history ~ God bless
Amazing! Really enjoy all your video's, you are the best! Thank you so much! RIP DJ Fontana as I hear he passed last night.
Hello from England
Look at what Elvis was wearing and i pick out the shoes, almost like the old spats type WOW. He looked super cool and in a way very smart. He was very individualistic and at that time 65 + years ago.
Another good video like the photos of elvis good stuff my friend
sir, you are the man! I can't tell you how much i enjoy all your videos, and not just Elvis'. I come every day on the computer hoping Billy has a new video! hahaha and u inspire me to be browsing video cameras! good grief, its crazy! hahaha but don't worry no competition from me! thank you for all the great stuff!!
Sir, Thank You for these videos. What you are doing means a ton.
Fantastic, as always!!!
Wonderful
Thanks for the vids. I may do a video of EP playing in my town of Fort Myers FL in 1955. Very interesting.
Cool, thank you !
Very interesting Spa Guy , thanks for the information 🤗
Great job
Perfect ! TCB
First, I love what you do! Second , do you ever get goosebumps or any special feeling going to and walking around those special places? Just watching some of the places you have taken us to I get a little anxiety or feel like it’s sacred holy ground.. lol
👌🏼👏🏻👍🏻 you tightened up with this
Barbara private how cool Lamar airways for the opening good one the wedding on the 7 th August
Great artist Johnny cash another great man singer, all so cool ever so cool played September 1954, great job ( billy ) yet again
Nothing but the best
You are the best Elvis detective yet. Great pics of E as a young man. always enjoy your videos, thanks, Bill.
great video thx
Interesting. Great job 🕺👑
Great job, a big thanks to you and Ashley. Lot's of history there!
We need the help of Spa Guy to look into why the park service has taken down the plaque about Elvis donating over 60 k for the building of the USS Arizona Memorial. I tightened up and signed the online petition to put it back.
You were right billy this was a big deal in those days one of the first shopping centers in Memphis .i have a book with a picture of Elvis that he took in a photo booth that was said to have been at that shopping center it also says that he and his mother walked there frequently because they lived on Lamar just down the road in 54.i don't no if that's right or not.when jimi jamison died here in Memphis I was listening to a an interview with hm on the radio he said he met Elvis in 1970 in store there .he said they sold exotic animals in the basement.elvis was looking at a baby tiger.i think it was the building to the right behind save a lot.thats my fathers recollection I wasn't around at that time.thanks again for that glimpse into the past wish I could have been there.i was born to late.
Enjoying thanks😊
DJ Fontana passed away at 87. All the originals have passed away now.
When did DJ pass?
just Dea June 13th
Trey Hocker, thanks for responding...OMGosh that is so sad! DJ is a legend and will be missed! RIP DJ Fontana.
just Dea No problem! Yup, sad that all the guys are now passing on, but what a time to be alive. They left a fantastic legacy
Enjoying best
Ole' Spa Guy!
Oi oi oi I find this video interesting as usual, always something new to learn about elvis, you really do a great job spy guy
I love these kinda videos of the stores and places they hung out and played early on
Some great info on Elvis pieces of the puzzle. Mercy. If Elvis dont look cool(As in Cool Cat) in that photo ,him standing with foot up on rear bumper of car. He probably would have been doing Lansky's by this time for his clothes supply. Never seen Elvis have a 'dud' in his outfitting. Keep the gray ghost headed to new adventures SG. Thanks again.
Hi ! Thank you for this sentimental video . I think you are a cool cute spy cat★★★say hi to Laura to / friend Lotta
Hey Billy. You should perhaps have been a detective. You are a fantastic researcher! Thanks for all you do enjoy your vids
How times have changed
Another Great video SG!!!
Love this vidio, Billy I'm going to see Dakota fight 2nd of Feb hope to see you there southhavan
I'll be there Willie!!
@@SpaGuy lookin to meet you brother I feel like I know you I'll be glad to meet you in person see you there
I'm sitting in the Lamar Airways mall at the moment watching your video... as in true Memphis fashion they recently obliterated whatever was left by taking away those double poles and putting brick supports.. they also took down the Lamar Airways shopping center sign and put up a new brick one to match the rest
Thank you for making all these videos for us Elvis fans. Please make videos about his family members. Where are they now?
This is cool
Ah, to go back in time and know what we know now. I would have told Elvis to tighten up and stay away from Prescriptions.
Another great video billy 👍 did you say about a month ago you had a video coming out about Elvis being brought back to Graceland from forest hill? You was meeting with a couple of guys who knew about that night? Really looking forward to that friend. Tighten up buddy
Hey Brother, Since Dj passed away yesterday. Any videos of him and Elvis in the early days? Also wasn't he even in the 68 special? RIP, DJ.
I noticed the parking lot light poles are all original.. early 1950s style and they are resting on original concrete islands...
