    I love this series of videos... Elvis was a real person (although he's notably the world's most famous man) but this series lets us, the fans get to know him on a more personal level. Thank you & keep up the outstanding job you do! I was lucky enough to meet Angie on our trip to Graceland in Sept. 2017 and she was gracious and kind. Thank you for sharing the archives w/us...

    I'm glad he stayed true to his roots and supported the local community as the King of Rock and Roll. He was still a regular, wild and crazy guy.

    I love Gates of Graceland. That's what In want to see. All the lil' details of his live and Family. Love the autograph of Lisa in the kitchen. Remembers me of all the paintings under the wallpaper from my daughter. All kids doing the same it seems. Elvis, you will never be forgotten.

    Graceland is truly a come see over and over . . .
    There is so much to see. It's great to know there's the possibility of seeing something come on display while something else gets a rest.
    This series shares from real pieces part of Elvis life.
    I was a child in the 50s. I remember the Ed Sullivan Show, like everyone else it was a Sunday stapel in our home.
    His music and movies.
    But this series clearly is special because the evidence of the great human being his is (is, because this series brings him to life vision wise).

    So much to do in our lifetime to get our belongings stored in acid free paper and boxes..
    Where and who would've kept all of Elvis' old personal items during his lifetime?
    Do we owe thanks to Elvis' dad, Vernon Presley, for hoarding all these items?
    Or do we thank his personal valets?
    Many thanks for these special videos.
