I was in love with Elvis growing up. I was 12 and wrote him a letter in 1969 telling him I wanted to marry him lol. I drew a picture of him with a guitar. He took a page of my original letter and sent it back to me with his autograph ❤️. I have it to this day. It’s priceless to me.
Fantastic 👍
Lucky you
Pam Bradley..Oh lucky you..what a great man he was..who else would send a letter back with an autograph...no wonder he was so loved and still is.
Wow lucky you ❤️
@Pam Bradley….That’s awesome that he even read your letter and even autographed it for you.🥰I hope you have it framed??? 🙋🏽♀️💕
I went on vacation to Graceland with my grandparents in the 90's and it was absolutely incredible. It's like it's stuck in the 60's and it's awesome 😊
Oh wow,so they haven’t changed things ? It’s the original ?
😵😋
😊😊
One of the most memorable experiences of my life, she was spot on when she said you could feel Elvis' presence in the house! Amazing.
I'm a huge Elvis fan. But when I visited Graceland I didn't really feel any sort of presence in the house. It was hard for me to believe that anyone ever lived there. It's like a museum.
He is my son
You should go to his childhood home in Tupelo, Mississippi. Sitting on that porch swing.
OMG!Yes..I went there in 1995 His Angel Wings was flying overhead!His foot steps were there beside each and every fan!🤗may all RIP😇
Just discovered this....what a lovely lovely insight into graceland and got chills when they show Lisa Marie's signature from childhood as the world is in shock at her sudden and sad passing. She is about to be buried next to her iconic father and grandparents and beloved son at graceland. I hope and pray her children can take as such great care of graceland's future as she did and may they all be reunited and rest in peace 🙏 xx❤️❤️🏴
Wow.. yes! She signed Lisa’s home & that’s where she was buried!
I thought the same thing!

I'm 82 now, & visiting Graceland is on my "bucket" list! He died on Aug.16th/1977, our wedding anniversary, so my wife & I loved to dance to any songs bu ELVIS! Chet(Ontario),
My very favorite part of this video is the photo of Gladys fixing her hat in the mirror and the gorgeous photos of Elvis in the music room. The whole video is emotional to watch. I need to be able to visit Graceland.
I visited Graceland's for the very first time in November 2014 from Sydney Australia. It was my once in a life time dream holiday, which I found in some strange feeling a little closer to Elvis after my trip to Memphis had came to an end. As I first entered the doors sometime after 1:00pm and made my way through, which to be honest leaves you feeling surreal. On completion I was taking photo's out front when a lady who worked there asked if had been through, I replied " yes had thank you and that I just need sometime to take it all in". Well she said "why don't you take another wander through, you still have time & you can walk through as many times as you like". There was a little voice inside which said, "go ahead Matt come take another wander" & so I did just that. As i walked through on my 2nd tour, it wasn't until I was halfway through where i realized I was the only person left in the entire place. Knowing just that, a feeling as though it was a private tour just for me was something I know I would never ever forget, even if I was lucky to return one day I would never have that private time. To top it off I was the only one left walking through the planes and the cars, I just thought to myself. Matt somebody up there loves you.
I found Memphis gave me a warm feeling, which in some strange way made it hard to let go and say goodbye. I met some many lovely Americans who lived there, all were generous, helpful and caring. Even Sun Studios, there is a magical vibe there which in all honesty, you can feel the presence of Elvis and Rock n Roll, its still alive. Memphis had it all, Uncle Lou's fried chicken, Lansky's where I bought the same race jacket Elvis wore in his movies & basically was the clothier to the King, there are cool bars and Blues music. I even walked through the colored neighborhoods and had a hair cut at one of the barbers, boy was that a funny story. It was awesome like something out of the movies. If you ever get the chance, go and experience it all.
You can see how Angie Marchese really loves her job. She's got quite a personality and adds a certain something to the video. She's a nice lady.
😁🌈🎸👑🎼🧡❤️💛
Definitely out of breath
I live in the UK and have loved Elvis since I was very young, he died the day I passed my driving test I will never forget, I cried so much. His voice was so different, beautiful in fact. Elvis lives on in all of his fans he will never be forgotten.
When I visited Graceland I felt a presence as soon as I walked through the door. It stayed with me throughout the entire tour.
Visiting Graceland was a great honor for me in 1993. It fulfilled my dream of being where the King had been...........a remarkable adventure. Miss him so much.
Being from Memphis and my Grandparents having known Elvis, you can only imagine the stories I've heard.
Well let's hear em
Share!
I have loved Elvis my entire life ! I was born in 55 and by age 2 I had a.toy guitar and shaking my leg! I am now 65 and going through Chemo and radiation , and would love just to see Graceland one time !!💋❤️!! But I did get to see Elvis in person in Shreveport La. At the Hurst Colosseum !! It was Amazing💋. A True Fan!
Margaret Strahan He lives in Arkansas & his name was changed to Bob Joyce. Look him up on CZcams.
Yes,. He is Alive and Incognito..!!
He destroyed the persona of Elvis even though he's never totally
Giving up playing his music and singing he does it every week..
In his church services.
And goes to Graceland..often..
Look for the recordings that show
"Bob Joyce". at Graceland...on CZcams..
There is a lot of secret surveillance
That someone has done.,
Jana Procella Elvis has a right to live his life in privacy like a normal person. People were so obsessed with him, that he couldn’t go anywhere without being mobbed. He was a prisoner in his own home. Please do not bother him and let him enjoy life.
Or look for his Sunday Sermons on John Cook channel ! Sermons are at 10:00am every Sunday and we get to see them like after 3:00pm .

Absolutely well done. I've been a true Elvis fan all my life and I'm 75. Will be seeing the latest Elvis film soon staring Austin ...... and Tom Hanks.
The movie is awesome! I'm going to see it again, and I grew up in the 50's. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that Elvis had died.
The movie really does the king justice! Absolutely magnificent and beautiful ❤️ I want to watch it again and again
Me too we shared the same birthday 🎂 But he was older
Did you watch the movie? How was it like for you?
@@TruthSeeker0877 wonderful
Angie Marchese is THE sweetest person. Can't think of anyone better to take care of Elvis' things.
And a very generous and nice person.
I'd love to have her job too.
Worst human I have ever had the displeasure to meet!
Jaqen H'ghar oh really? Why? What happened? His did you meet her
@@mrjamila88 I won't say due to a no disclosure agreement, but I will say that I do not care for her nor do MANY others.
Connection to Elvis aside, how awesome would it be to be able to go back to the home you grew up in, and decades later cook a Holiday dinner for your children and/or grandchildren in a kitchen still perfectly preserved the way it was when you were a kid, down to your adolecent self's scribbling in the drawer.
I visited Graceland in 1994 and it was something I had to do as I loved Elvis and his music throughout his entire career.I could feel his spirit in the house and it's something I will never forget. A magic moment.
Oh really would be so magical
How are you honey?
I went to Graceland with my husband in 1996. Elvis's horses were still there. I don't know when they died , but it was pretty cool to see them.
Thanks to his daughter that rescued everything we still can enjoy it.
My husband was in his and Priscilla''s house in Germany as an army brat , he even played for him
Wow, how interesting would love to here your husband's stories..n
Ton père a été chanceux Hhhh je suis marocaine une musulmane arabe et je suis parmi les fans d elvis
So lucky of him 💓
Can we have a live talk with him about king ?
My uncle served with Elvis Presley and has the pictures to back it up!
My husband,my daughter,and myself have been to Graceland a few times ,the second time we went the gaurd removed everyone away from the gates and the front steps of the house because my daughter is named after Graceland ! And we still have the pictures of that !
when Elvis showed my sister and I through his LR, DR,and music room in 1957, the carpets were red and all furniture and drapes were white including his grand piano! His song playing at the pool was “Loving You”❤
That’s so cool! why did you get a tour?? How did you know him?
I love that Tom called one of Elvis's lamps, 'The jumpsuit of lamps".
Dee Green LOL
As an Elvis fan I highly recommend everyone make the pilgrimage to Graceland. It was magnificent! Truly incredible! Worth every penny. I would love to go again!
Pricilla changed it all after Elvis died .
@@opencurtin Oh, I am sure that it is not exactly as it had been when Elvis Presley were alive. I am sure many changes were made here and there. I would love to visit at Christmas. I hear that the decorations are fabulous. And, Christmas was always special to Elvis. I personally cannot seem to get into the yule tide spirit without Elvis' holiday albums. I often say,"Its not Christmas until the King sings."
@@BeeKool__113 Yes Elvis' cousin, Billy Smith and his wife said on their Utube channel that they never want to go back AT Graceland. because it’s not the same Graceland they knew and lived with their cousin Elvis.
It's on my bucket list for sure!
I live in the UK with very little money or time to visit Graceland but its videos like this that make me soo happy
+Emilia Clarke Check out our video at Graceland!
I live in London

I was just thinking I would drive the 7.5 hours from North Carolina to Memphis this year. Also, hoping to fly to Minneapolis to tour Prince's Paisley Park. Hope you can visit the US and see Graceland.
I was fortunate enough to visit Graceland in the late 80’s. Although we weren’t allowed upstairs what we did see was beautiful. The rooms that houses all of his costumes and gold records was priceless. The grounds were equally beautiful as well. This makes me want to go back and tour this wonderful place again.
We went to Graceland last year and it was quite an experience. I could feel him there smiling at us.
And hearing him with its famous bursts of laughter and jokes
sadly will never be able to afford to visit graceland .its videos like this that keep elvis alive to all his fans xx
Where to you live ? Are you real far away ?
Why not?
I hope you someday go. Everyone's welcome at Graceland
I too will never be able to afford a trip to Graceland. So many things I've wanted to do and that was one of them.
What if I financed your trip. Would you go?
Angie is so beautiful! Her smile lights up the room.
I was just there a couple days ago... wish I had seen this before I went 😊.. but watching this I recognized so much! It was a bucket list for me to go.. been wanting to see it since I saw the movie Elvis and Me.. as a teen!
I also went in honor of my late husband who was a huge fan of Elvis!
Miko BassGirl Villagran Then you know where he is now?
I will be going to see Graceland in the next couple of years. I've always wanted to go! I have loved Elvis my whole life and listen to him quite often. He is alive💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was fortunate enough to visit Graceland on a business trip back in '95!! Took me straight back to the 70's!!
I hated that Elvis passed away....I loved watching him on tv growing up! He was so talented and a truly gorgeous man! RiH Elvis.....you are missed by so many! All my grandkids love his music I introduced them to it! Long live the KING! 🌹❤
Thank you Angie and Tom for producing this series for myself and all the fans. I really appreciate all the care to detail Angie invests in Graceland. She is an amazing presenter. Best wishes to Angie and Tom for every success!
I visited in Graceland in 1986, I think and I was just in awe of his place. Yes, it felt like Elvis was there somewhere if only in spirit.
I am from Germany and was in Graceland in 2005 and travel around the South woh so beautyful spiritual Place i wanne come again some Time
Me too hon
How are you doing today?
Such a huge fan of Elvis.I saw all his movies through the years since I was age 12,and loved his music,concerts,everything .These videos at Graceland are amazing.Maybe one day I will have the pleasure of visiting and touring Graceland.You still live on in all our hearts..
I always get excited when I see a new picture of Elvis or his family
That drive is a piece of art! It was really thoughtful of Elvis to make sure even his cook had the latest technology! I'm sure it was appreciated with all the people she had to cook for!
I've been twice, great experience, never be another Elvis, love you man ❤🇬🇧
I’ll never forget sneaking up to the front row on my 3rd concert visit & he reached down and touched me. Remember exactly where I was standing & what I was doing when I heard he had passed on the radio. I was a very young teenager & it cut to my core. I absolutely loved Elvis. He was bigger than life. My only regret was not being able to go into Graceland, as he was there the only time we visited.
I love Angie I hope to meet her my next time in Memphis! She takes wonderful care of Elvis' things
I get angry when trolls make negative remarks about here in the comments sections of these videos!
This is one of the first videos that I watched years ago when doing "research" on him and I still love it.
This is excellent, more of this please. Tom is great and Angie is becoming as famous as the King himself!
Graceland was SO beautiful and just jaw dropping
My mom and I was here last Saturday....and we wanna back again lol
I absolutely love the blue color inside the closet!
I’m going to Graceland on September 27th, 2019 with my girlfriend! It’ll be my second time, but her first time! We’re so excited!
Elvis was such a wonderful person from humble beginnings to a KING I will never forget him there will be no other like him I know he is singing in HEAVEN to our SAVIOR angels and everyone there
These people are incredible! I feel like I've been to Elvis home. Thank you! You are both so exciting. You did Elvis proud♥
❤️🧡🎼🎸🌈
13:07 looks like an orb shot right between them!
Hey baby its Elvis! 🎶 😎
Very spectacular looking home of the famous ELVIS PRESLEY!! Part 1 . I can't wait to see part 2 . I hope that I can be the 20th million person to see this magnificent home! So exciting and thank you for sharing his beautiful home with me! (us)
I been there twice and each time I am overcome with unexplained emotion I start to cry and my hands tremble. That is unlike me. You have to go you won't regret it.

I'm going next August for the 40th anniversary of Elvis' death and my 50th birthday and I can't wait. It's been a life long dream to be anywhere near Elvis and his home, I'm doing the full Elvis week, Sun Studios, Bealle Street, Tupelo, the hole shebang!! And all I can say is WOW to watching these videos of Graceland. Long live Elvis and his music x
millybops loo
I hope you had a great time. Please update us.
millybops you are so so so lucky...
Please Millybops..let us know about it...and let us know how to contact them directly...I might pop in with my son in law, my daughter and my grandson...too...it has been forty two years that I havent been in there..time to go and relive Elvis...again..please let us know...okay.? Thanks.
I took my first tour today, absolutely EVERYONE was just so humble and nice. You just feel his energy over the entire property. Amazing place
I’ve always wanted to see how the kitchen stairs joined the main stairway. 😎👍 ⚡️
I had the opportunity to visit Graceland twice in 1992 and 2012 for Elvis week
and I enjoyed it very much!
Nice, nice, nice lady giving the tour!! Loved it.
Is so sad because he's not there anymore, this house was a home full of love and sounds and now only silent and sadness because he's gone..
Rafaelina Urena Except when the Presley family stay over on vacation.
Rafaelina Urena yes it’s sad isn’t it
Rafaelina Urena He lives up stairs still that’s why they won’t leave you up there , he’s 84 now but doing well ..
Yes I agree with you but he has filled more peoples hearts since his death than you know with his videos and songs. It must have been hard for him to leave so much behind.
@@po5541 e
Angie does a good job showing these treasures!
Angie is perfect You can tell she loves her job
This is the reason why I have said "It feels like a home" after I did the VIP tour in 2012. This makes it so much more personal, but it also makes me miss him even more. Forever TCE, Forever Elvis!
Did you mean "TCB"?
P
Wonderful.person Angie
It is.like a relative telling. stories of a loved one. Thank you.
We have that big beautiful stove in our kitchen! This is a 60s farmhouse. The stove is by Fisher Body and was considered quite a luxury in its time. Dolly Parton had one! There are knobs on this thing that help you cook the perfect steak! Two ovens and the hide-a-way burners.. we love it.
My wife visited Graceland from Australia in 1988. She said that it seemed a lot smaller than she thought it would be. The rooms were very small compared to the facade.
I have visited 3 times and yes the rooms are small. My first visit was in 1959. I think back then a lot of homes had smaller rooms.
Eather people complain that cellebs have to big of houses or there dwellings are over-rated....who cares...I guess he was humble. True kings are humble
In it's day Graceland was a grand mansion. Loved it!!
I was a bit disappointed! For Elvis Presley, I thought Wow! Beautiful place, but was smaller on the inside!! I expected so much more
True
I accidentally took a flash picture right in front of the stairs on a tour and about got kick out....I still have the picture...which has an orb in it...and a great story to tell.....and yes Elvis is still there.
Haunted Hillbilly Cuzins can you not take pictures?
@@diannecorreia2512 you can just not flash which was all we had back in the 90"s
When I visited Graceland I was surprised at how small it really is and the kitchen was like an apartment size kitchen. By today's celebrity standards it is very small. But, it does look like a family actually lived there, a home not just a status symbol.
I thought the same thing. But during those times houses had a lot of small rooms.
@Blue Bird The kitchen is not small, it is just sort of boxed in, no view or openness like they are built now.
@@johowardsmith8762 Exactly. That guy is out of his mind saying thats an "apartment size kitchen". too funny.
It is on the small side especially compared to modern luxury houses. But not surprising since the house is early 20th century built
What a stunning home. Thank you for sharing Elvis’s home.
A time Capsule from the 50's 60's 70's Love Graceland I there back in 92 and 2002 .
Thank you for all of these videos. They make me feel as if I knew Elvis personally.
Thank you for making these web series! Such an incredible blast from the past!
I imagined what Elvis would be doing each year I knew him in the movies. He was handsome and a great actor.
Now I wonder what he would look like now. 👍
He was so incredibly stunning. R.I.P king💕💗
Nicholas Cage has been upstairs and in the infamous bathroom, so was a fellow that posted pics of it on here, it is kept exactly the way it was!!! They are always removed, but pop back up once in a while!!!!!!!!!! Definitely worth a look, extremely moving!!!!!!!
thank's I loved watching this I kept thinking about Elvis when I was watching and listening to you both I am A Elvis fan since the 1960s I can't wait for the next part
I would go back there in a heartbeat....Maybe one day.....
That would have blown Elvis' mind that 20 million people someday would be passing through his front door. Of course that figure someday will be over 100 million and maybe even a billion!
Please
My parents house had the same exact kitchen appliances. Everyone was surprised to see the hidden burners appear when you slid them out. In addition to the hidden burners, when you pulled out the flush stainless vent hood, it automatically turned on and lit up. Made by Hotpoint!
E's house in the 70's was quite fancy but it looks like any middle class house now
I Love that we keep it Private - That's the Only Place in The Whole Wide World Elvis could Totally Be Himself & NOT have to be the Spectacle, Crowd-Pleaser, or Personified Image that Everyone Demanded of him (intentionally or non-intentionally). He was Human too, but could not have the Luxury of ever Shopping in Stores or Even Seeing the Fronts of the Buildings, Hotels, etc he Performed at because of Mass-Hysteria he ALWAYS had to be rushed through the Back Entrances in the Alleys etc. I think this is a Sacred Place for a Blessed Man who Gave MORE than Enough of Himself to US - The Fans! And we Respect his one Piece of Privacy - His Quarters... ;) ~Priscilla

I agree with you prissyMommylife...I have a son Fonzie Gomez from Australia who is a actor and CZcamsr he's always around people and noticed by people and his santury is his bedroom....I loved Elvis Presley

Yes, when he performed in Columbia, SC, whereas ushered through the rear drive bottom , which was unexpected ! We were watching the entrance! That was the 70’s
Yes! Love this "series" on the hidden parts of Graceland! I've been there, so it's easy to picture where they are and how the house flows...so interesting. Thank you Angie and Tom! Look forward to more.
+David Conway Looks like someone escaped from the nut house.
+Ken Williams yep he's an idiot

The Elvis with the bike photo was not always in that spot. In 1977 it was moved to Vernon's office and can be seen when Vernon address the fans after Elvis' death.
I love these videos!! Angie should do a Q & A!! i have been to Graceland twice, and am ready to do a third!! The first time was in 1997, and I got to take a drink from the original water fountain in the Raquetball court, so I think I got to drink from the place E. took a drink from, that was my favorite part of the tour!! My 2nd time I got a rock and a tiny amount of dirt and mixed it w potting soil, and planted a pothos vine in it!! So, a tiny part of Graceland is alive and with me!! I have heard Lisa is having a hard time right now, and I keep her in my prayers- I know her life has not been easy at times!
Went there many years ago. Love it. Elvis Presley was s great person. All heart.
I would really love to go back to Graceland, especially during this time of Christmas. I went in '92, before they added the kitchen and bedroom onto the tour
Our guide never took us through it
+Jeff R. The kitchen wasn't on the tour until after delta died. She died in 93
90s
I know who Minnie was who is delta
Can't wait till I go there alot of people think it's weird that I love Elvis I'm Mexican born in 93 so just heard his music and books and really got in to him it just seemed really cool back in them days and would of been life to been able to see him live
Oh my goodness, I'm happy just being able to see this much. Thank you so very much. I love it. Thank you!
The Tappan oven with slide out cooktop is actually from the early 1960s. The home I had in La Mesa, California add one almost exactly like it.
There are actually two ovens above the cooktop, the left side is quite wide where is the right side of Anna's more box shaped and with the tempered glass doors it just made it look very Jetsons.
TOM AND ANGIE!! BRILLIANT WORK ................ THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !!! XXXXX
Just want to point out a little mistake. The sculpture on the ground is not David.
It's always by Michelangelo, but it portrays Giuliano de'Medici. At his Medici tomb site in Florence.
Thanks any way for these short documentaries of Graceland. I just love them.
I love that hidden stove. My aunt used to have one similar in her house when living in a little town in the Valley of Texas. Very unique.
Really unique
How are you dear?
Graceland beautiful home of Elvis love love love it 4/5/2016 xxxx 😇😇😇
Amazing! I find this tour fascinating to learn about all the hidden treasure that were not shown to the public.
Thank you for such a BEAUTIFUL tour of Graceland secrets
really enjoyed this. love her enthusiasm for this amazing man's home...
This is one of my bucket list items that I still need to do, is to take a tour to Graceland!!! I hope someday I can do it!!!
Wow, was that ever fun to watch!! Thanks Angie for allowing us to share in some of Graceland's secrets. You must have a fun job. Well presented.

This is amazing...thanks so much for sharing this!!!!
The music room is the one I most want to go in. So much magic was made in there
That's awesome! I can't wait for part 2! :)
Very amazing!! I love Elvis and Graceland and can't wait to go back in August again next year for EW. :)
Thanks for showing this place ...so beautiful...
I was amazed when I took a tour of Graceland. They had the same you electric Side-by-side oven and four burners below that would be able to be pushed in and pulled out when you used it. We have that same oven when I was growing up as a child.
