In the early 70s my dad worked for the Southern California Gas Company and he was basically gasman to the stars. One day he got a call and ended up at Elvis' house and met the King and spent some time chatting with Elvis. At the time my dad was the same age as Elvis and I remember him saying they were both the same height and he was also a huge fan. He said he respected him too much to ask for an autograph at the time and Elvis asked my dad if he had any kids. I was an only child and I must have been 6 or 7 when this happened and it turned out that Elvis called my school and they took me out of class and brought me to the principals office and I chatted with Elvis for a few minutes during that call. I was also a big fan even at 6 or 7 because my dad was always playing Elvis' 8 tracks in the car whenever we drove places. He was a cool dude and I will never forget that day.

Cool

In 1980, I drove up to the house. The gate was open and there was a house painter’s truck in the driveway. The front door was open and I walked in. The house was completely empty and I walked into every room I could without being noticed. I went in the backyard and pool area also. There was a great view from there. Eventually the painters saw me and kicked me out. BTW, on June 9, 1972, I was at Elvis’ first Madison Square Garden show.

Omg you lucky lady

Thanks for that, always wanted to see more of this house he lived in. I wish someone would open it up as a museum like Graceland and his honeymoon house. Everything Elvis should be saved.

Never ever will there be a such of a thing as too many pictures of Elvis. My boy My boy! Great Vlog brother!

I was living in Culver City when this was going to be demolished- A lot of people incl. me got together and signed petitions and contacted the Beverly Hills historical preservation Society- To see what they could do what we could do to stop the new owner from tearing the house down luckily they tracked down The original builder of the house who had no idea in the early stages that the new owner was going to demolish it- And because of the architecture and because he built it etc.. He got together with the Beverly Hills historical preservation Society- He brought the original paperwork of all his Homes- And because of when it was built where it was built and who it was built by - the new owners who were a building company- from what I understood. The homes that the builder of this house and his other houses that he had built there is a clause in the original paperwork that it cannot be modified significantly and it cannot be demolished or torn down. They all moved quickly To stop the current owner from demolishing a piece of history long story short sort of it had been approved and deemed a historic site by the BH Historical preservation Society and the contractors I believe put it up for sale since they couldn’t demolish it or modify it in certain ways. So the house is saved!

This was awesome. My Uncle Lance LeGault was friends with Elvis in the early days, when he was with Priscilla, & he worked stunts with him, played with him in the band once, & was in two to three of his movies. They rode motorcycles together & were good friends. I never met Elvis, & have only been to California once. They are probably both in heaven now jamming & riding cycles.

Miss Roth you have no idea how happy and honoured I am to talk, well message you. I am a musician myself and your Uncle was one talented man ;)) All the best to you and your family.

1968 to 1970 was the best time for Elvis. Thanks, man!

I love your video's, I am a huge Elvis fan and I finnaly did my bucket list visit to Graceland, it's beautiful, and I love the picture of Elvis in your apartment, and I appreciate your Hollywood videos, your dog is so cute, and I enjoy hanging out with you through your videos, I have seen many of them and they are all perfect, thanks for the awsome outings !

I love Elivs too !! I'm so glad I found this vlog of yours going to Elivs' house in Los Angeles . I always thought Lisa Marie was born in Memphis TN . ? I watched a video the other day and they were talking about when The Sharon Tate's murder happened . Elivs had the gate covered with mental and he ask the fans to not hang out at the gate anymore once he went inside , because​ it wasn't safe . He told the fans he would sign their autographs and talk to them if they promised to leave once he went inside the house . He was worried about them hanging around at night around his gate after those murdered happened . They said , Sharon Tate's house wasn't that far from where Elivs' house was , so that's why he was concerned . You know that's​ why I loved​ him so much is he did care about his fans , unlike a lot of star's today . He was raised to have respect for others and he started out on the bottom . God gave him a talent and he went to the top , but he stayed humble . Don't get me wrong , I loved his music and his movie's too . I'm so glad you shared this !! I love it !!!

He even noticed my aunt's red hair and commented on it from the stage!

I have been an elvis fan since, 1966 i ABSOLUTELY love your passion, for Elvis, i can hear it in your voice! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Awesome video! I'm a huge Elvis fan and REALLY appreciated you matching up all the video shots alongside the old photos. Thank you for this special tour!

Thank you Jordan, I am 63 years old and never ever seen a picture of Elvis' Beverly Hills Mansion, never been to California, but I have been the Graceland a couple times and plan to go back again soon, I live in Louisiana between New Orleans and Baton Rouge so that puts me only 6 hours away from Memphis So thanks again man, Hope your back gets better soon ♫ ♪

I loved loved loved Elvis Presley ever since I was 14 years old and I'm 74 now. he was my honey bunny and I would love to see that house I went to Graceland not many years back and I extremely loved visiting Memphis he may have loved living in that house but his heart was at Graceland in Memphis Tennessee. thank you for the video and put Neosporin on that finger

Such a great vlog 😊 and honestly- in quite a few of those pics you could see how much Lisa Marie looks like him. Now I have "suspicious minds " stuck in my mind- but NOT complaining- great music 🎶 👍🏻

Nevermind me, im just binge watching AGAIN. You know how i feel about Elvis Jordan. The pic you showed of Elvis and the impersonator is supposedly the only impersonator Elvis ever met. Great job! Much like Elvis, you're always TCB!

This has to be one of my favorite vlogs! I love Elvis! Awesome views! Any luck with the shoes?

I've been on an Elvis kick lately. Thank you, Jordan the Lion! He said the image is 1 thing, the person, another. He did love his fans, didn't think they were a pain in the ass. I heard stories about this house told by sonny west. What a beautiful view!

Jordan, You never disappoint. Can it be possible for each blog to be better than the last, I don't know. Sure enjoyed this. Thank you.

The house at the end of the cul-de-sac was the longtime home of one of the pioneers of television and all-time philanthropists, founder of St. Jude's Children's Cancer Research Hospital, Mr. & Mrs. Danny Thomas. The house being rebuilt across the street was not a re-build, but in fact a new build on a lot that had been forever vacant. How expensive and opulent was the estate when it was completed? Jay-Z & Beyonce, among other wishful buyers were outbid by the successful purchaser ["Minecraft" inventor] around late 2018 for [from memory] $60,000,000.00.

Only found your channel a few weeks ago. I've got to say you do a brilliant job. Thanks a lot for doing these videos, keep them coming really enjoyed all the Elvis videos I've watched so far Elvis is always TCB

When Elvis was doing the Comeback Special he was working on the show with my friend's dad who was a Producer. One night he rode his motorcycle from this house on Hillcrest to theirs on Skytop, in Encino, at midnight! He said it was better as that way no one would recognize him. Elvis often rode at night. So they pulled a stunt on the neighbors saying to come over right away! The neighbors about fainted when Elvis answered the door! My friend wishes she had pictures of sitting on Elvis's lap in those days. Ah, well. It was TCB as usual! There is another Producer whose name gets associated with the Comeback Special but my friends dad Alan Blye did all the work and was responsible for shaping many a stars on TV shows, new and established. I sure wish Elvis could have lived without the secret of all those awful prescriptions. He deserved much more. The problem is that no one tells these people, "No!" when it comes down to that. Thanks for taking us to the house Jordan!

You're the best!!! Always feel like I'm right there with you. I never cared much for Elvis but this vlog was fascinating! 😍😇3 years ago, seems like yesterday!

I'm so thankful for your Vlog on Elvis. I love Elvis and I always have loved him, the King of Rock! I will never get to personally see his homestead and property so I THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I'm 28 I've collected vinyl records since I was a kid I always liked old school music. And one of my first Elvis albums was live from Madison square garden. The versions of suspicious minds, American trilogy and never been to Spain are my favorite. Been an Elvis fan since I was little and my favorite era Elvis is also 68 through the 70s. And growing up it wasn't cool to be an Elvis fan or listen to old music I was born in 90s and im stuck in 70s.lol

Thank you so much for doing this Elvis home. I really appreciate it and YES, Elvis was the coolest dude ever!

I want to say thank you again you're the best for sharing all these things about Elvis thank you for my heart

My favorite Elvis is the concert via satellite from Hawaii in '72. I was 5 years old and watched it with my mom. It was awsome.

Thank you for showing us his west coast 'Graceland'. There will never be anyone like Elvis. Love your vlogs.

Thank God they saved the house !!( ive been by that house many times when i live in Hollywood ,leaving LA in 1995) I read they were gonna try to put it on the registry of historical places ,but because it had been remodeled over the years it didnt qualify..if you watch the movie ELVIS ..starring Kurt Russell they used the house in the movie!!!.. Hey Joran , have you ever been by 7000 SANTA MONICA BLVD ..its the recording studio ELVIS recorded at ! its called RADIO RECORDERS ...his last MOVIE recording session there was for the 1966 soundtrack album SPINOUT ...

Great video. I never knew Elvis owned this house. I love the old photo comparison, you can almost feel him standing there.

Jordan, you are very right about that house at the end of the cul-de-sac...that is Villa Rosa, an 18,000 square foot mansion built in 1970 by the late comedian Danny Thomas...it stayed in the Thomas family until 2000, when it was sold by his children...in February of this year it was on the market for $135 million but sold for right around $65 million, bought by the brother of the man who recently purchased the Playboy Mansion from Hugh Hefner...the house has a ton of history, Thomas also founded St. Jude's Hospital, and, at one time the home was rented by Julia Roberts and her family...when you are heading up Hillcrest you can see the rear of the house, its spectacular domed section of the house...best time to see it is at night when it is lit up

Great location and I love the retro style of the house. I was born '67 and it reminds me of growing up in the 70s.Thanks for these wonderful videos!

What a terrific video Jordan. Gonna show this to my Mother also, she’ll love it. Thank you!

The house at the end of the caldisack (sp) was Danny Thomas' house. I was there back in '71.

How cool is this? My mom was such a huge fan. I was kid and had no idea what what she saw in Elvis until I grew up and could appreciate the sweeter things in life.

Love Elvis! I believe Zsa Zsa Gabor bought one of Elvis’ homes in LA. The house has been a filming location for several movies. Since Zsa Zsa’s recent death, I think the home will be torn down. It was sold several years ago, but Zsa Zsa was permitted to remain there until her death. You should do a video of it before they destroy it.
