- Sam Thompson talks about his time with Elvis Presley. Not only did he work for Elvis, he is also brother to Elvis Presleys girlfriend in 4 years; Linda Thompson. Hear Sam tell a lot of funny and interesting stories from his time with the King of Rock'n Roll.
Wow! What a life he lead! From Graceland to the Judge's Bench!
Sam Thompson is a gentleman. I messaged him one time and he replied to my message and answered every one of my questions. Salt of the earth. Thanks Sam!

Yes he is. I really like this man. Very personable and has great integrity.
sam was linda thompsons brother elvis lived with linda for 4 years until they split up
@@clairemooney1429 …I know who he is.
Sam and Linda were great stock. Their parents raised great children. Elvis really should have married Linda. She was the best for him! Or Anita. Gladys really wanted Elvis to marry Anita. But Gladys would have really loved Linda. She would have loved her family.
Thank you so much, Sam. Wonderful stories! You always bring dignity and humor to your times with Elvis. So great.

I really enjoyed this. Sam seemed like he really cared for Elvis the man. I didn't know it at the time, but I spoke to Linda the night they broke up. I was in the front row at the Cow Palace concert and she was standing near us before the concert started. I was wearing our Australian fan club teeshirt, and she noticed it, and asked me about it. She was amazed that we had flown from Australia just to see Elvis in concert, and she got me one of his scarves😍. She was so sweet, We were talking for about 10 minutes, and I actually asked her if she and Elvis were going to marry, and she gave a sort of sad smile and said "no, I can't live with that lifestyle even though I love him. That is why Priscilla left him too," Elvis came out just after that, and I yelled something like "oh God he is so handsome!" and Linda smiled at me as if to say she understood how I felt
Thank you for your great story.
Do you still have the scarf?
@@KG-oe8oo No, I sold it 20 years after Elvis died. I have told the story about that on the video about the concert on my channel if you are interested. In short, my husband and I had financial problems and desperately needed money for bills, so I sold the scarf at auction for $3000. I jokingly tell people now that Elvis indirectly saved us from bankruptcy!
@@Patracat he put Sam through law school, why not save you from bankruptcy! :)
At this point in my learning about Elvis since I saw Elvis 2022 (July) as I did not know much at all prior, Sam is the best of the bunch, faithful lawman, faithful to his wife (unlike many of the other MM) God fearing, etc. Very great man, husband and father, brother and son.
Love to hear Sam tell these stories.
Great video. Sam Thompson is such a loyal friend to Elvis and is such a great story teller. I enjoy these Elvis stories. Linda Thompson was such a pretty girl. Linda Thompson did what she had to do. She loved Elvis.
Thank you Sam really appreciate you sharing your time with Elvis, love listening to stories about Elvis. God bless you Sam and your family. RIP Elvis. New Zealand
I love Sam, he’s honest, funny and tells great stories. He and Linda seem so sincere. They are “good” people.
Truly Enjoyed this Thanks Sam Thompson TCB
The stories Sam told are great! Just more gold to add to Elvis's memory! Loved this video. Thank you so much!
All the world is a stage... Isn't it?
I go to work with alot of personality... But when Im off... Just myself.
I truely enjoyed this video so much!
Merry Christmas season of 2021 ---- Linda, your sister is also a very intellectual person with a lot of depth both in heart and mind, and so are you too ---- it is a gift for both of you, as well as Evis that both shared a part of his moments of life.....there is always a beautiful paradox within ones life journey......'' the righteous, the wise, and their works are in the hands of God. '' -- everybody who loved him, and still loves his memories are of divine inspiration, because Elvis as a specimen of humanity is one of the masterpiece of God's masterpieces ---- he was predestined by the Almighty Creator.
I hope to meet the Thompsons one day, such nice people!

Love this Elvis story
What an amazing story thank you
Oh this is Linda"s Thompsons brother. Would have been helpful to have that written on the title.
Elvis fans know this 😏
Why would that have mattered? He explains his connection to Elivs. He isn't going to tell his sisters personal information.
Im late learning about this fact! Wow
Awesome video of Sam Thompson , Linda Thompson's brother. Such a gentleman. Love this.
Brilliant!
Awesome stories! I love it!
Awesome stories! Thanks Sam!
Love to hear your story!
Thank you!❤❤❤
I'd love to see those pictures of Elvis taken at the Madison gasstation.To my knowledge they have not shown up.
wonderful
Lovely stories nice man
Thanks so much!! Interesng
Love the stories just saddened that u had to sell some of his gifts wish u could have kept them ..
Elvis bought him a house. Isn’t that where most of our money goes? On our mortgage etc. Why would he have to sell the guitar that Elvis bought him only the month before his death for money.
Elvis's Mama was not an alcoholic . Sam was not around when Elvis's Mama was alive
Linda seems like a lovely lady xxx
Sam should tell the stories Linda tells about Elvis in the limos in California directing traffics. There was a red light out not working and Elvis stopped the car at an intersection and directed traffic till the cops got there.
If Sam has the vin number or tag number you could trace the car.
Really great stories but Elvis had met Ginger before he broke with Linda and made sure that it wasn't a problem for Sam to go on working for him after that
I like Sam, of what I know of him, seems like a nice guy. But I'm pretty sure he wasn't around when the menus had X marked through Elvis and the threats. Maybe when the guys in Vegas jumped on stage in February 1973, maybe... That was shortly after the Aloha Special and Elvis was dating Linda, so a slim chance of that.
Stig, when was this first filmed?
2015
Dommage il n’y a pas de sous-titres 🥴👍
SAM - What color was the interior of the Cadillac Coupe Deville?
Don't care much for all the talk about making money off things he gave you, sorry ..
Agreed!
Lucille was released in January of 1977 and Elvis wasn't dating Linda they broke up in November 1976 so I'm just wondering
Sam still worked for Elvis even after he and Linda broke up.

Read my comment again and focus
Sam, wasnt working for him in 77
@@patpargeter6050 Yes he was. He quit after Elvis died and Vernon was grateful he didn't have to lay him off to keep expenses down. He tells the story on spa guy part 2 interview.
@@sammyandoliver7522 are the people that took care of Elvis’ horses also on tour? This is too much. The guy wasn’t even an Elvis fan even while he was doing security for him. He knows how to profit though
Is this the one where he laughs when a fan called Ginger a black widow right after her husband passed? Yeah real nice guy that would think it's right to make fun of a woman that just lost her husband.
it was Sam who called her that not a fan. in fact Stig the guy who was filming this, said to Sam, I''m filming this you know' as a hint to him to be careful making such a remark.
How could Sam Thompson AND Dick Grob both be Heads of Security?? One of them isn't telling the truth!
Exactly, they were both liars.. Dick Grob, biggest liar, that ever walked.. Type into Google about his Stolen Valor..
Dick Grob isn't telling the truth.
Don't know if I believe everything Sam talks about....?????? !!!!!! ?? ?
Does seem to emblish a bit.
Bragging & Ca$hing in!!
I don’t suppose there’s any harm in exaggerating a little
And why is that? I believe he shared of what he could remember. overtime our perspective changed & our memories subside.
Yes, exactly. Both him and his sister, still living off Elvis coat tales...
