Thanks again spa guy for all your hard work finding all this amazing information about Elvis and the place he went. Am sitting here in England watching your videos . Thanks again

Outstanding video, Bill. What a historical Elvis adventure! TCB

I just wanted to tell you how much we all appreciate the work you put into these videos for fans to enjoy thank you so much and keep up the good work

We loved this video! What a historical, little-known place in Memphis! Thank you for this great video!

I wish I could have met Scotty Moore. I have been listening to his playing all my life. He is a huge influence in my playing. Can't wait to hear more stories about Scotty Moore. Thank you very much for sharing as well.

Wow another incredible video by the best on Elvis history in Memphis. Us hardcore fans love seeing where the King once stood. Your the best Spaguy. Love all your work

Thank you for taking the time filming these great documentary stories. You are a fantastic guide, and a friend of Elvis fans everywhere. I seen Elvis in Chicago in '72. Greatest show I ever seen. May God bless you and your family always Spa Guy.

Billy I LOVE your videos! I don't know how I missed this one but I'm here now! Even today there are still people who don't know who Scotty Moore and Bill Black are and that's such a shame. Scotty Moore's guitar MADE Elvis' original signature sound. I loved it. What Scotty did on Heartbreak Hotel blows me away to this day. Bill's slap bass licks lent so much to Elvis' sound as well and along with DJ Fontana, they influenced the way Elvis sang as well as danced/moved when they performed live and recorded. Elvis' entire body would move to the rhythms he heard and you can see it. On the early Sun recordings, Elvis' used to joke about the "echo" on the records but I love that reverb/tape delay! For me, between Scotty's innovative guitar chords and licks (it's so innovative it almost sounds current), Bill's slap bass, and DJ's metronome-like playing, wow what an amazing signature sound! Of course we can't forget Sam Phillips' brilliant production. We musicians know their names but I wish more people did as well. You're drawing attention to Scotty and these historical sites and that's so important. This is not only Elvis history; It's music history as well. Fantastic video and I love the way you draw comparisons between the original site and what it looks like today. God bless you Billy. Tighten up and TCB🎸👏💖💖

Thank You, Mr. Spa Guy. It is truly a blessing that you have taken the time to document, for Elvis fans, the places that need to be preserved for future generations of not only Elvis fans, but for music fans in general. These Historic places are nothing short of fantastic. It gives a little insight into the workings of Elvis, Scotie, and Bill. Thank you once again for not only the Elvis videos but the others as well!

I can hear his laughter... how beautiful it was. Just contagious!!!!

Spa Guy I'm speechless. That was the best thing I've ever seen on youtube, You blew me away. From Vancouver Canada, a thousand thank yous! Please keep up your amazing history videos!

From the Vancouver area too & agree totally. They were just quite normal people back then but look what happened in yrs following. Elvis to today's crowd is just a history. Ya heard about him but to so so many the Elvis flame still burns !! Just why is it Elvis is still such a favourite

We a fans know. Elvis is kinda like a prophet status. He had a faith & info has it he wanted to do some gospel concerts in 1977. He sang because song & music was his passion. If Elvis never got famous or rich he would of kept singing till the day he died. Who does 2 concerts in Vegas & then wants to get his friends together & sing for 2-3 hrs more? Only Elvis. God's Hand was on him though he erred. The recording in a Sun studios Million a Dollar Quartet

It just brilliant you're capturing these historic places before they vanish.. loving the stories about Scotty & Bill as well as Elvis

I can’t get enough of these videos that you do. Thank you for your videos!!

I got a frisson of excitement actually seeing the places that I'd previously only read about. Good work, Spa Guy. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff, so please don't ride your luck too much with the neighborhood canines.

FANTASTIC Spa Guy !..my chin hit the floor with the Tammy Wynette story ! I love the history you provide us Elvis fans...Thank You SO much.

love memphis! you make me feel i'm there.

spa guy, you are America's premier Elvis historian! Thanks friend.

Amazing story❤ Scotty made the famous sound that's for sure. There was no other player like him. Thanx Spa Guy for uploading.

Brilliant as always.So sad they are all no longer with us.Hard to believe it is 40 years since the King passed.

Scotty seemed like a great guy (Bill Black too). I just love the photos of the three of them together because they all have big smiles. This stuff is so interesting - thanks Spa Guy.

Hi Spa Guy, I want to say a big thank you for your hard work in bringing us all these fantastic Elvis stories and memorabilia. I always enjoy and look forward to your new videos. Cheers from your number 1 fan and subscriber in Perth, Western Australia Craig

So VERY interesting! Thanks Billy!

I'm too young to be a Elvis fan but I knew of him at a young age and I tell you what, your videos are incredible. I'm hooked. Truly a modern archaeologist; I love how you bring this history to life in the literal sense. Its fascinating to see his life from beginning to end; in the short period of time he lived. Love it

That was amazing . Thank you so much for being so generous of your time.

Wow, great video.. thanks for continuing Elvis’s legacy. I truly enjoyed it as I do all your other videos! Thanks again!

Been catching up on all your Elvis videos, thanks for your research!

Thank you spa guy for all you do for us Elvis fans

I’m so jealous of all the awesome elvis places you go to!

Scotty's Toothpaste! 😂 Just watching this again Billy. Gives me chills.

HEY!! (Story Time) In the mid 1950s,mama worked as a movie theater usher in Memphis and later at Collettas Café, where Elvis ate at often. She saw him at different times there. She MAY have actually worked with Elvis in a theater, but I can not confirm that now. MaMa passed in 2004 :( ANYWAY, see if you can do a piece on Collettas Café there. She had the jukebox man put the 1st Elvis records in there. Ms. Colletts came in that day and pitched a FIT about Elvis music on her juke box, and had them removed. Sometime later, I GUESS when he hit it nationally, Ms. Colletta changed her tune and FILLED the juke box with ALL of his records. hahahaha ALSO-----------Mama said in the mid 1950s, that when they got off work late at night, they'd all drive over to the old Cotton Club(?) in West Memphis. They said that Elvis was spotted over there sometimes as well. With my mama's memories and your research....this might get REAL fun!!!! LOL OK later 'gator! Thank you for doing what you do. Herb (FYI: I was born at Baptist Hospital Jan. 17th, 1956)

WOW I have been an Elvis fan since I was 5 and am now 50 and thought I wouldn't find any more new stuff like this, and its really entertaining as well, thanks for sharing.

(not necessarily inthat word arrangement), but don't die on us! we.....TheWORLD NEED YOU!

All those sounds obsorded in that room Billy, I bet you got a tingly feeling in there, an important part of Elvis history, another great find Billy, that building looks like it's seen better days and maybe not going to be around for to many more years, great that you got in and made this video, you to have become part of the Elvis history, preserving forever for all us fans to see for generations to come

This is such a great great story!!! Imagine Scotty bringing Elvis in that room upstairs way back on the 2nd floor of a laundry to practise. One would think Sun records would of had a room for them to practise in at the studio. Maybe they felt more relaxed at that room knowing it was more private. Plus it's just mind blowing Tammy at 13 yrs old saw Elvis there as her mom had a job at the location. Hope you took or bought a cloths hanger too. Great they kept the name the same. Owners of present cleaners. Roof is new. Building must of been in great shape in the 1950s. Amazing it has not been torn down & a new build.

that's fascinating... thanks again for this wonderful journey again ... keep up the good... brother.... any thing from elvis is extraordinary thing to see and get to know better... .. please don't stop ever doing what you are doing for us elvis' fans......

I love watching these vlogs, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic. My wife and I love these vlogs . Thanks again Spa guy . Please keep doing these streams.

Spa guy, read all this stuff in Scotty’s book Thats alright Elvis. Always wondered what it was like for Elvis to walk from his house to meet with Scotty at 837 Belzer on that very hot 4th of July. You answered all my questions. That was very cool to actually see Scotty and Bobbie’s place and to see inside the house plus knowing Bill Black was just a few doors down, near the Firestone plant was cool to. I always imagined what that day was like, thanks to you i now have a better picture. Thanks!

Paul McCartney now owns Bill Black's stand up bass. It was a gift from his late wife, Linda. I absolutely love your 'Then and Now' videos, Spa Guy. I've done a few of these types of visits at other popular culture and historical sites around the country, but never filmed any. Thanks for all the history you share and keep up the good work. TCB and tighten up!

Well I never knew any of that!! Really interesting! Great job 👍

Mike OF Bristol UK Great video Spa Guy. I Have been an Elvis fan since 1956 and still learning about Elvis Thanks to Your videos,They put a lot of Elvis history in perspective.

Wow!! I love things like that. Great video as always.

This is great, thank you Spa Guy .

Wow great video, had no idea about the cleaners story! Great job preserving history spa guy!

Wow, maaa was working in Memphis when all that happened. I don't know where she was at that time.............Movie Theater, or Collettas Café............but she was there! She had me at Bapt. Hospital in Jan, 1956! :) Thanks Billy

I was a friend with SCOTTY for 30 + years. I purchased his recording studio in Nashville, & my Sister ran it for 7 1/2 years, then sold it to ROY ORBISON. My Sister was SCOTT's Business Secretary for 35 years. SCOTT was one of the nicest, "LOW KEY" Friends that I had in my life. He is buried in His Families place in Humboldt Ten.

Telling the girl that he will wrapped her in a 100 dollar bills....Elvis knew that he was the King! Spa Guy thanks so much for these new things to me.

great info. again Billy. love it!..

Thanks again for all your hard work

Amazing job!! Your videos are the best and keep them coming. When I go visit Memphis can I hire you to be my tour guide for places that elvis frequented??? 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much Billy! Very interesting.

Did ya see that old bike from the 20's...??? Awesome!

I think it's funny how Elvis had all these different places he would play and or practice.

Wow! And I was just listening to Tammy Wynette singing Stand by your Man tonight, and wondering about your friendship with Scotty! How awesome!

this August the eighteenth I am going to gladewater Tex at their museum , for Elvis week,. the museum has a Elvis section. Mr Tom Perryman is going to be there, man I can't wait

Another amazing video. It's always like I'm right there. I love how you take your time and don't gloss over anything so as to have time to absorb everything. Also love how we're called "friends", and heard your explanation on another one of your videos about that. I do feel like we're friends. Hoping to get back to Memphis again. Would love to meet you during Elvis Week. In the meantime, I'm loving your videos. Thank you so much for all you do.

Thank you!

Scotty Moore and Bill Black were members of the Doug Poindexter's Starlite Wranglers with whom Elvis was singing in his early days. It is not impossible that the place you show has served both groups between 1952 and 1954. Thank you for your valuable research.

Love your videos you give the human element would love to meet you someday.

I noticed when you were upstairs after you found the spot you went in a bathroom just feet from the practice spot there was an old medicine cabinet on the wall with a mirror you know elvis probably comb his hair right there. Cool history.

This is off the topic of this video. I have been watching all of your videos. I was thinking if you ever go to Waikiki can you try to go into the Hilton Hawaiian to see the Elvis suite. There is a room he stayed in the top corner of the old building. I go every summer and I look across at that balcony from the Hale Koa Military Hotel. There are photos made of him on the balcony. In the Hilton Hawaiian they have a display of Elvis photos. I bet you could go trace a lot of Elvis steps in Hawaii. I go to the Blaisdelle Center where the Aloha concert was and they have an Elvis statue too. I would love to go into that building too. Another one is Hunama bay where they hut he had in the movie Blue Hawaii. I tried to locate that too but it is very difficult. I love your videos. I am a lifetime Elvis fan same age as Lisa Marie. I even had a small fan club when I was in my 20s. :) Thank you Becki

Top stuff again wish i was there for elvis week was there 87 97 07 .

Wish I could be there for Elvis week since I experienced what happen in Memphis 40 years ago. Scotty was friends with a friend of mine Kevin Kane. Do you know him? I know that Kevin will be involved with many of the activities during Elvis week. Have fun in Memphis!!!

Awesome video! Thanks! 👍🏻

Fantastic video! Love it.

I hope you have some good things planned for Elvis week! Will Spa Guy be going on the Royal Caribbean Elvis cruise in January?

Awesome!!!

I got to meet Doug Poindexter in 2004 at 706 Union during the 50th celebration of That's Alright Mama. He walked up to the studio by himself. He and Scotty got to talk briefly. I got Doug's autograph (and Scotty's too). He left by himself unassuming, nobody else knowing who he was. I also have a story what Scotty really thought about modern Gibsons, ha ha. .
