  • TISH HENLEY KIRK was Elvis' private nurse from 1968 until his death in 1977. Over the years, they formed a very close bond and friendship that Tish holds close to her heart. During her time working as Elvis's nurse, her and her family lived on the grounds of Graceland in a trailer on the property from 1972 until 1983. She often traveled with Elvis on tour and to Vegas to provide care on the road. Tish also provided care to other members of Elvis's family, like Vernon, over the years. Being this close to Elvis, Tish's stories are PRICELESS!
    As we sit and visit with Tish at her home in Mississippi, she shares memories of her time with Elvis and looks back on them fondly. She shares funny stories from Graceland, how he was as a person, his generosity, and what it was like being close friends to the King of Rock and Roll. ⚡💗🙏
    Tish, we are so grateful we had this time together. Thank you for sharing your memories of Elvis with us, and thank you for opening your home to us! It was a day we will never forget!

    I also wanted to call attention to what Tish said about the eternal flame at the gravesite. I never knew anyone say that her and her husband had come up with the idea and designed it and that they helped to pay for it out of their love for Elvis! That is so very special! And a definite new fact that I had not known until now! Wonderful that she said “it was an eternal flame just like her love for Elvis would be eternal”, how wonderfully sweet and sentimental!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    "Don't you take up for him!". LOL That was priceless! I've seen Tish interviewed in the past and I'm glad I watched this video. So many great stories she has to tell, but that yogurt story was great. I guess Elvis thought the weight was going to come right off no matter how many yogurts he ate. The other thing she said that sticks out in my mind was, "I've never met another one like him". Thanks for a great chat with Tish. I love that she didn't take any guff from him. I think Elvis needed someone like that in his life. I'm glad she came out of the Elvis closet. I could listen to her talk all day. Have a great day, ladies!

      He gained weight because of the way he ate but I do believe and I’m sure Tish would agree. I am an emotional eater. Elvis ate when he was emotional. I don’t know that from experience cause I didn’t know him but the ones close to him say he loved all that fried stuff and mashed potatoes etc.He loved it but it was comfort food for him. Lamar said he talked to him about how fattening his food was. But Elvis said I didn’t think about that.

    I said this on Billy & Jo smiths channel , Elvis helped complete strangers like the wheelchairs he bought a couple of people , and not foe recognition, he just wanted to help , he did make millions, but there is people today that make hundreds of millions, and they wouldn’t give you a yodel if you were lost in the alps , he was a great man it sickens me how people twist stories around about him and they never even met him that’s way I only listen to stories that people like Trish , Billy & Jo and their son Danny , Linda Thompson , and a few others that really new him . there will never be an entertainer any where close to ELVIS .

    This was such a Beautiful & Touching Interview With TISH - I fell in Love With Elvis As A Little Girl In The 70's - My favorite Elvis Movie #nostalgia Is "It Happened At The World's Fair" With Vicky Tiu As Sue-Lin I would sing and dance and Say "Elvis Sing To Me" LOLL So I was told - My Daddy was a HUGE Elvis Fan!!!! He had all of Elvis's Records and LP's / Albums I remember him buying "Moody Blue" and I was so Mesmerized that is WAS SO BLUE!!! Elvis music always going in our home Daddy would Jack up the volume!!! ( MY PARENTS SAW ELVIS IN 1975 SHREVEPORT, LA ) I Remember finding both My Parents Crying When Elvis Passed away - and then they told us kids and We all cried -- The Whole World was in SHOCK!! I was 10 .. It was on my Brothers 9th Birthday August 16, 1977 - We watched the Funeral and The News Announcement was played over and over - Still today I cry thinking of it - I can't hardly watch his Unchained Melody - When I went to see the "Elvis" Movie I was SO Shocked it Ended With My Elvis singing "Unchained Melody" I sat there through credit everyone leave just Bawling!!! Also It Opened Up with TEXARKANA 1955 SIGN - MY HOMETOWN ELVIS PERFORMED IN OUR HOMETOWN 7 TIMES AT OUR MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM 1954 - 1955 - I USE TO PLAY ON THAT STAGE WE WOULD HAVE A MAGIC SHOW EVERY YEAR THERE AND WE'D PLAY UP AND DOWN THE BLEECHERS AND RUN AND PLAY ON THAT STAGE - THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS ..

    I was fortunate to have met Tish at Marlowes this past December and get an autographed copy of her book. We chatted for a few minutes and it was obvious the love she has for Elvis. He was very blessed to have her as his nurse and friend. I so wanted to get to spend more time visiting with her. This video is the answer to my wanting to hear her stories. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing interview with one of Elvis’s most devoted friends. She truly loved him.

      Kathy I also saw JFK's grave with the eternal flame when I was in the States in 1971. Very touching. I just love that Elvis has one too, so fitting for our King. I only saw Graceland from the gates in 1971 because of course while Elvis was living there were no guided tours. I am now 75 and too old to fly back to the USA because of health issues, but I would dearly love to visit his grave and just lean over and touch it. Some of my Aussie friends have been there and said how emotional it was to just be there and lightly touch that gravesite, knowing that his body is actually there. I think I would break down and sob my heart out so probably best I don't go there

    • @donnap.c.886
      @donnap.c.886 Před 5 měsíci +2

      Just a side note, my brother was a career Army soldier. He worked in Arlington cemetery and had the honor of being in charge of the horse drawn wagon that is used for the caskets of some who are buried there, also he worked as the guard of the tomb of the unknown soldier. He made such a memorable statement one time to me that when he would sometimes be on guard duty there as he would walk out of the gates there he “would sometimes just feel the hair on the back of his neck stand up”. It is a very somber place. I feel like the meditation garden was like that at Graceland, so somber and quiet and so respectful of the Presley family!

    So glad I found this as I was surfing CZcams on a hot summer day in Melbourne Australia, with nothing better to do than sit in airconditioned comfort! Wonderful interview, and thanks for the ebay links to Trish's books. I have the second one but didn't know there was another, so have ordered it. I enjoyed this interview so much, felt very tearful at times listening to Trish's anecdotes about having Elvis hanging around as 'a normal person like your brother'. I've always felt you could get a glimpse of the real man in most of his movies, the expressions on his face, his smile, and voice. He might have been playing a part, but the real personnae shone through sometimes, which is why we his fans felt like we knew the real man underneath, just a bit.
    When I saw him on stage and got his attention briefly by yelling "I love you Elvis" when he was on our side of the stage, when he looked at me and smiled, I felt like I'd been blessed, just for those brief seconds.🤩

      I too feel like you see a glimpse of the real man in the movies. Sometimes he would roll his eyes in a role and I thought he really is for real. Hahaha Although I think most of his ‘60s movies are fun entertainment (the ‘50s were more serious but still very entertaining!) and he didn’t enjoy making them bc it wasn’t the type of movie or characters he wanted to do, but just like y’all said about how he would be in amazement knowing how his fans still love him at 89, he would be amazed at how much we all still like his movies too! 😊

What a man…the more I hear of him, the more I see God using him to take care of his people. The wheelchair story…something so small…but not really. How many people actually stop or notice the wheels are bare. It’s like he was always looking for an opportunity to help others. God put that desire in him. It still breaks my heart though that he felt like he couldn’t find a woman and was lonely. 😢I love that Tish was so honest with her answer lol “the guys pimping for him” 😂 And I love how she took such good care of him. Bless them both 😢

Thank you Tish for everything you did for Elvis, he missed the care and closeness of a mother's love and it's clear in your way you were able to give that to him which is why I'm certain he loved you a great deal. Thanks to Those Elvis Girls for this wonderful video. I am 67 years old and will forever be an Elvis fan and I am now a subscriber to Those Elvis Girls.

    Its so sad that there are so few people left that knew him personally and are able to share their memories of this wonderful man. They are the precious ones that keep his memory, talent, music, and love alive for all of us to treasure.. He was truly a blessing to all of us, so much of his story is about a phenomenal talent but even more so a beautiful loving humble soul. I feel like he was blessed in so many way but his fame also took so much of his life away from him. His life was so limited and secluded and that is very sad to imagine how lonely that must have been for him at times. We lost him way too soon and I hope his memory lives on forever. RIP Elvis, you deserve that.

    Thank you ladies. I so wish we could see/have an interview with Ms. Tish, Billy, Jo and Linda all together; much like the Guys did. Better yet, a movie with their views. We could crowd fund it. Look at Dallas Jenkins with The Chosen. I am so interested in what the Linda, Jo Tish daily life was like. Tish and Jo raising children in the 70's at Graceland was like. Elvis' Christian influence on everyone in a daily interaction.

    WOW this just gave me a vivid flashback to a forgotten memory of my youth. My Dad was into all new technology. We had one of the first Polaroid Cameras (was hard to find that instant film early on!). Color TV YAY (That he waited a little bit on, because they were insanely big & expensive at 1st, plus they had me as a remote as a kid lol. But that Sony color TV went right by my bed!). He did get one of the early microwaves. And yes, they were MASSIVE!!!
    So the first night Dad & I made an egg custard (my Mom was convinced it would poison real food....she wasn't far off lolol). And just like Tish said, we both stood there watching it the entire time it cooked!!! I hadn't thought of that in decades!!! Great interview about Elvis AND for jogging my memories!

I could listen to her all day 🙂❤️ I would also like to thank her for taking such good care of Elvis, and for being a wonderful friend to him and his family, we’re truly blessed that she’s still here and able to talk about who Elvis was as a person. ❤️ I would like to order her book directly from her if it’s possible, thank you so much. I also wanted to let you know that my son and 10 year old granddaughter love Elvis very much, I raised my son on Elvis music, and he’s passing it on to his kids, so you see, Elvis will NEVER be forgotten! God bless you all 🙂💕💕⚡️⚡️

    Great video! I met Tish a few years ago and she was extremely nice and generous with her time as she told a few stories and shared some of her opinions about various things Elvis with me in a one-on-one conversation. There was an interesting discussion about Elvis's finances in this video. Lots of fans feel Elvis did not pay enough attention to his finances or that Elvis spent irresponsibly or that Vernon handled Elvis's money poorly. Are these statements true about Elvis? When Elvis passed away, he had more than $1.1 million is cash. Once all the bills were paid, his estate was valued at $5 million dollars, which is an extraordinary amount for a man who we can all agree never purposely saved a dime. When you think about it, even after spending untold millions, Elvis had more wealth at the end of his life than most of us will earn, even with nearly 50 years of inflation artificially inflating our numbers, in our lifetimes. Elvis did have cash flow problems especially in the 1970's, but that is a temporary problem we all experience which never meant Elvis was broke. Vernon, a man who never had a savings account before Elvis hit it big, managed to amass and protect Elvis's $5 million in assets through 20+ years of hard work keeping the books for Elvis. Some people criticize the amount of money Elvis left Lisa Marie. Elvis left Lisa two assets of far greater value than $5 million, Vernon and Priscilla, whose hard work resulted in Lisa inheriting $125 million at age 25. Before Elvis employed the Colonel, Elvis was broke, by which I mean he had a little cash in his pocket enabling him to splurge on clothes and gifts and enough to pay the bills, but he had nothing saved as Elvis was unable to collect funds owed to him including $5,000 from Sam Phillips. Once the Colonel was involved, Elvis collected all his big payments up front and weekly payroll from RCA. Over the next 20 years, Elvis, assisted by the work of Colonel and Vernon, never had less than $1 million in his checking account and always had a sizable savings account. Did Elvis need to spend more of his personal time on his finances? No, Elvis still had plenty to spend on the day of his passing. Did Elvis spend irresponsibly? No, Elvis never ran out of money and no one in his family ever suffered due to his spending. Did Vernon handle Elvis's money poorly? No, in fact, Vernon saved Graceland after Elvis was gone purely through his own decisions and actions including moving Elvis and Gladys to Graceland, which is the keystone to the success of Graceland as a global destination today.

    Also I thought it was just me but since I've seen the Elvis movie that's why I became a fan and also I feel like he's my spirit guide. Since the movie I also felt a closeness like his spirit is around and I also get signs from him a lot. And I also noticed that throughout my life there was a lot of things that pointed back to him that I never realized. My grandfather was also a huge Elvis fan!

    Love these firsthand accounts from people who were ACTUALLY there. It humanizes him. Behind the walls of his home he was just like the rest of us. That story about Lisa "teaching" him piano is soooo cute. The confirmation of things! I just love it to all the haters who actually try to dismiss Billy's relationship with Elvis. I've seen it with my own eyes in comments sections. It just makes me sick.
