Joey’s grandfather Travis and Elvis’s mother Gladys were brother and sister. Joey is the son of Billy and Jo Smith, and Billy was Elvis’s 1st cousin. Billy raised his two sons, Joey and his brother Danny, on the grounds of Graceland during Elvis’s lifetime.

We’re sorry for the audio in this video- there was a 5 second delay between Joey and the rest of us and we all had connection issues during this video so at times we sound like we are all talking over each other, reacting late & asking questions that overlap the audio. We’ve not had any issues like that before. We edited most of the 5 second delays out of the video but some are still evident. Please give us grace with the technical issues but we still felt that Joey’s story was so important to tell & we edited this video to the best of our ability!
Love,
Those Elvis Girls⚡️
Oh yes, I forgot to say this…I’m so so very proud and happy that Elvis has sooooo many younger fans now!! So thank y’all so very much for doing this!!
That means alot to us!! thank you!!
It was nice to hear stories from Joey. He doesn't do many interviews. This was great! Thanks Elvis girls!
Thank you SO much! We agree!
Joey is a treasure, salt of the earth seems like a really nice person. Super fun interview!
Thank you so much!! He really is just the best! Was so cool to speak with him!
Priceless!!!! It could have gone on for another 2 hours!!! I’m paralyzed. I felt like I was there at Graceland. How genuine and authentic the whole Smith family is. You girls are knocking it out of Guthrie Park!!! Yes more with Joey!!! Cooking over at Kristen’s a must!!!! I don’t know how you guys do it, it reignites our commitment to get this man his due and exactly what’s he is . The King.❤
All your references are cracking us up!! Knocked it out of Guthrie Park!!!
Thank you so much Julie! We had a whole 2 hour convo with him! Can you believe! Some of it had to be cut out due to the delay in audio between everyone but luckily we had enough for an hour video! So glad you liked it! We love you! 💜⚡️
I love how young you girls are! Yup for those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s our brothers especially got their hands on these M80s. All the shenanigans told by the Smith family it's a wonder no one ever got seriously hurt!
ha i know! These stories are so funny to us! Boys being boys and causing trouble :)
Best wishes to Joey and family
❤❤❤

I really want to Personally know a Person who was close to Elvis ❤ you all are so lucky blessed!
We do feel so grateful! Thank you for your support!!
Another Amazing podcast⚡️I loved y’all’s interview with Joey⚡️I love the roller coaster story, and how he said Everyday was Christmas at Graceland♥️His mom was pregnant with him and there when Elvis met The Beatles that is such an important historical moment in music history♥️
Isn't that crazy?! Loved that fact!!
I have seen Joey Smith interviewed many times. Without a doubt, this is the very best Joey Smith interview. I am very impressed with your interviewing skills and ability to set Joey at ease as I have never seen him this talkative and forthcoming. Roy Miller and Joey's older brother Danny were best friends and spent so much time together, Vernon Presley used to tease them by saying they were dating each other and asking for a wedding date. Joey has a very unique perspective on Graceland because of his age during the 70's and it is always fascinating to compare his experiences to the Stanley brothers, who all share a similar experience of being innocently unaware of Elvis's fame. Long before Joey was born, George Klein did work for Elvis and it is a beautiful story of Elvis's love, concern, compassion, and caring for a friend. George lost his job as a rock-n-roll radio deejay because his management felt rock-n-roll was a fad about to die out. The very same day, George randomly encountered Elvis, who hearing of George's misfortune immediately hired George, who accompanied Elvis on his next tour and was responsible for transport and care of the famous gold lame suit. George was not working for Elvis when the term Memphis Mafia was coined. It is always interesting to hear the opinion of those close to Elvis as to who was and was not official Memphis Mafia and I am often surprised. Keep up the great work, I am looking forward to a lot more interviews!!!
🙏🙏🙏
That was a great interview
Thank you so much!!
Excellent video..
Thank you, much appreciated
Glad you enjoyed it!
These stories were pretty original .
Yes how cool was it to hear these stories?! An honor to be able to share as well!
I just found y’all yesterday I think and I subscribed today!! Enjoy this so much!!
thank you so much!! We are only getting better as we go!! Excited to have you along for the ride!!
Absolutely loved this one! Very special! TCB!
Very special and such an honor chatting with Joey!!
You interview! If I remember correctly Burning Oaks Farm got its name for a reason. I think the fire dept came out for a big oak tree that caught fire on accident from a burning pit? Unless I dreamed that.
Love the name Burning Oaks!!
Great video!
Thanks for the visit!!
Absolutely loves this episode. It’s so nice to hear from Joey Smith. I love the title he said if he ever were to write a book. He and Danny should actually toss that around. A great publisher would take care of the rest. ❤
It was so great to hear from him, wasn't it?! His stories are so special!!
All I am is a fan .
Welcome!
George Kline. Was always there as a friend/ manager . Richard Davis could look more like Elvis he did stand in work at the movies. 😊
Thanks for watching Marilyn!!
Joey is true-blue! He doesn’t embellish and he doesn't make the story “bigger” than what it is.
Yes completely agree!
Did Joey new Gladys or his father would know some stories of Gladys at Graceland ….
Great question! Joey was born after Gladys passed away 🙏
Joey’s middle initial is M. What name does it stand for. His brother is Danny Mac, Elvis named him.
thanks for watching!
There was one Female in the Memphis Mafia, her name is Patty Perry.
We love Patty!!
Joey gave you a tour thru the TigerMojo. Does he know karate? Elvis was an eighth degree black belt. If Joey knows karate, does he have a black belt degree?
Yes Joey does know karate! Very cool!
Is Joey married? If so, does he have children? This CZcams is very interesting, & I enjoyed “meeting” Joey Smith.
Thank you so much! Yes Joey does have a family! His son is a professional MMA fighter and we are so proud of him! 💕
Can't wait to hear this bb gun story
It's quintessential Elvis, that's for sure!
Has anyone notice Elvis loved Pepsi , but on stage his cup said coke? Wonder if he had a brand deal . Part 2 please !
YES because I swear I keep getting mixed reports on coke vs. pepsi lol
