Surprised it survived the scorching summer temperatures of a Tennessee attic for so many years.

Billy elvis would be proud of you, for giving all of us elvis fan great info, and a true Tennessee man 👍

Incredible! I can't believe the record stayed in that house for so many years. I'm glad it ended up in a place where it will be taken care of and displayed for everyone to see. Amazing story, Spa Guy. 👍👍

Hello from England Elvis took a chance and he was lucky. He was in the right place at the right time and so to were the Memphis Recording Service people

Very good and interesting Story . I‘am happy to be a member of the Elvis Fan Family Worldwide. Gruß aus Hamburg Stephan

Spa Guy we talked of this: You are the man when it comes to Elvis history and forensics! This is so classic into understanding Elvis Presley. Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for all of your hard work finding the truth behind these myths. Very interesting.

I clicked on this video thinking I knew everything you would tell us, but then you went and did it again!!! Surprised me!!! Keep up the great work!!!

I love all the history of Elvis that you’ve put out here for us! Thank you for all you do, I’m a huge Elvis fan and learning all this cool stuff you ever so kindly dig up for us is truly amazing and so interesting!! Please keep these coming!

Amazing research and proof of young Elvis, he is so missed ! Thank you Billy, love your dedication to bring us truthful info on our Elvis ! ⚡️👍🏻

Who else but the Spa Guy brings this much passion to tell the story of Elvis Presley? He will knock on any door, and go anywhere to tell this story. I LOVE this video because it's filled the humanity and insecurity of a young person who first summons the will to reach out for their dream. And even more so, the tremendous gift of being believed in. Would Elvis have ever made a record without Ed Leake pressing him to go to Memphis Recording Studio, and even accompanying him and loaning him the money to make the record? There is no joy like beginning. THANK YOU Spa Guy for this great story about dreams, friendship and the gift of being Believed in!

Veeeeery interesting and sad that all these People are gone. Thank you very much from France 🇫🇷.

Amazing story you've put together Billy - keep it up & Thank You!

Another fantastic Elvis trivia video Mr. Spa Guy. Have listened to this several times. Enjoyed the information on Elvis' first recorded record very much. And dispelling the myths ! What I don't understand is why Graceland/ EPE would sale the recording. Are they that hard up for money ?! I think it should of stayed at Graceland as part of Elvis' history and legacy. Have a blessed day. Tighten up.

Didn't know these facts at all! I have a CD album set called, I think, Elvis Presley's Greatest Hits that I bought in about 1991, and I believe "My Happiness" is on it! I'll have to find them. I had no idea that they were released so late, I thought that Elvis had it released when he was a young man. Blows my mind a little. And "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" is one of my favorites by him, I have many! I have heard the original to that song also but I don't believe that I have it. But the history details are very interesting, it allows a much more complete picture to be painted about his life and career, thank you!

But in desperation to get rest he grabbed that stuff he was allergic to. He was so nervous cause he had his tour coming up. He couldn’t sleep maybe having vowel issues. God rest his soul!

Mindblowing. I'm guessing you're right and Elvis wouldn't have thought those recordings were up to much. Cutting that record with 2 sides would have been the only way he had of finding out what he sounded like. Singing is one thing listening to yourself is another. You learn all kinds of things listening to yourself. Things you like things you can improve on. Elvis was still learning and what you hear is the potential on those recordings.

Gostei do passeio por onde o Elvis iniciou sua carreira artística. A gravadora Sun Records está intacta.

As a musician myself i can tell you that we are the harshest critics of ourselves. Courage of two months to do that song. Self doubt abounds, even for a young Elvis. I agree 100%. And i bet that is why the recording stayed with his friend. I always thought he was a truck driver. I tell you what.. the investigative skills are second to none!

Billy, love your approach to your videos, and I believe you are doing a lot of important preservation of history before it is gone, so thank you for that. Just wanted to add, that on a soundboard of his Vegas comeback (not sure which date) Elvis discusses his career, and mentions making his first recording but never says it was for his mother, but for his "own personal use," so I think the media has possibly created the idea that his motivation to do his first record was to give it to his mother. Thank you again, keep up your work, its importance will grow in time.

I felt like I was in Elvis mind thinking about getting an even nicer home (than Autobahn) like an Estate like the many homes he would pass on his route practicing on his motorcycle. Your videos are special in that way which tells me you are the one meant to do this.
