Just amazing❤ As an european who was just 4 years old in 77, and never have read any books about Elvis, I am blown away of all the beautiful story's I find on CZcams. The Elvis movie was what made me start to dive into his life. I have realised more and more what a truly special person he was, and also how misunderstood he is by many people. Thank you for the good work you are doing 🤗 I'm saving the links to interviews like this. One other Elvis fan channel I have found that is doing a great job is called Elvis Lass. There is so much negativity and misconception going on now, people need to hear about the real Elvis.
Hugs from Norway 🤗
Thank you thank you Mona! We will never stop sharing the true and beautiful stories about Elvis!! much love to you!!
I just love Dixie and can't wait to hear this interview. I've read her book. What I find fascinating is that Elvis saved Dixie's love letters. He obviously revered them. You would think after so much time and fame maybe he would have gotten rid of them. That speaks volumes in my opinion. I still have all the love letters and cards from my first love also.
We so agree!! How special it was they found them in Gladys's purse too
Loved this one. Kristi has such a way about her that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. So endearing. I would love to meet her in Memphis one day. Great conversation ladies. So much more than an interview, a memorable conversation. ❤❤❤😊
It felt like we were old friends 💕
Wow! Kristi has such a great way with words, I loved this interview. Such a warm, sweet lady!
Phenomenal interveiw ladies!
Every question i wanted to personally ask of Kristi was covered right here 😊
Keep up the great work 👏
Thank you so much!!!!
Great interview! I love hearing Kristi talk about her mom. Just one thing, a lot of people get confused between Elvis's senior prom and Dixie's junior prom. Elvis' prom was at the Peabody when he took Regis Wilson, but Dixie's prom two years later was at the Hotel Claridge in Memphis. Dixie said that in her book. I did a review of the book when it first came out back in 2021 on my website. Keep up the good work, girls!
Oh thanks for the clarification!! Now we got somewhere new to visit!! 🤣💞
I have this book and enjoyed reading the history of Dixie and Elvis along with your family. Thank you for writing this book.
Glad you enjoyed it! 💕🎶⚡
This was just a joy! Thank you all three of you!
Our pleasure!
Grateful ❤
Us too 🙏❤️
Absolutely beautiful, heartfelt interview. So sincere, respectful and very much appreciated 💚🙏💌
Thank you Lalani!! Much love to you!!
Dixie was one awesome lady ! Total Class
We absolutely agree! Such a beautiful woman inside and out!!
Yes bad in the Movie was that they showed gladys as a drinker
I’ve watched this interview 3x now, there is just something so so wonderful about listening to you girls, thank you so so much for this.
Elvis really had the most amazing life and group of wonderful people surrounding him. The one thing that the movie got wrong is the amount of love he had in his life. He truly had wonderful friends, family and loved ones!!! Such a gift! Thank you for sharing all these wonderful people with us! Their stories mean so much and I can just listen to them all day and not tire of it ❤
thank you so much!!!!! means alot to us!!
Bravo ladies you have done it again another fantastic interview. It amazes me how many phenomenal guests from the Elvis World you have had on your channel. I have enjoyed each and every one very much. Keep up the great work❤️🤗
❤️❤️❤️ thank you Debbie!!
I enjoyed y’all’s interview with Kristi so much. Haven’t read her book yet but it’s on the list. I love hearing Elvis’ early story from those who knew him closely. I’m so grateful the memories have been captured on paper. And you Elvis Ladies are doing a fantastic job!
Thank you!!!! ⚡⚡⚡
Just loved this book ❤. Dixie is a wonderful woman and Kristi seems just like her. Good interview girls keep up the good work. Love your videos. 😊
Thank you so much!! 💕💕
Thanks for the interview, ladies. Kristi is wonderful. Dixie is a wonderful lady, too. I like how you said that both Dixie and Elvis achieved both of their dreams.
As a side, I tried to post a link to the Elvis Discord chat on your last video. Twice, as a matter of fact. I guess YT thought it might have been spam. Let me know if that's something y'all would be interested in. Take care and TCB!
Hello Scott! Thank you so so much! Yes, please share our videos if you’d like! We appreciate anything like that! TCB⚡️
❤ how cool! She worked for Graceland ! My dream job! Wasn’t he in the army when his mom died ? Not on the road ? Now I’m curious how Dixie and Anita got along . So cool that she got to go to the vip premier . I heard Billy and Jo weren’t invited .
Our dream job too!!
@VegasVixen Yes, Elvis was in the army when his mother died. He wasn’t on the road. Also, wasn’t this Dixie’s junior prom that Elvis took her to? ❤😊
Fantastic. My middle name is Dixie so another reason I connect with EP 🤘🏼💯⚡❤
Love that!
Kristi is super sweet just like her mother 💕
She really is!! We just adore them ❤️

Hi loving your channel from Australia. Where can we buy this book please?
Good morning! We added links to purchase in our video description!!
Enjoyed the interview. The only thing I heard that wasn't correct is that her mom told Elvis that he needed to take time from touring to grieve. But Elvis was in the Army when Gladys passed he wasn't touring.
Thank you!!
Fabulous!
It was so much fun!!
Gladys wanted elvis to marry Dixie.
❤️❤️❤️
I ordered the book, can’t wait to get it. Good interview ladies. 🩵⚡️🙏💋
Thank you!! Tcb ⚡⚡⚡
