    @Billy Stanley I'm a 60 year old Granma, have 7 grandchildren and introduced them to Elvis. They love him. I haven't taken a vacation in over 20 years and want to bring the oldest ones to see Graceland this year. I'm really nervous to travel alone with kids but I really want to see Graceland and share him with them. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do it! The Elvis Movie is what opened the doors for kids today.

  • What we got here, daddy? and picks up all three boys at once. ♥ 😍
  • Oh what a pleasure to have heard the thruth from a family member! At last!!! I can now rest in peace knowing that our beloved Elvis was a fine gentleman indeed. I truly believe his brother, because brothers know better. God bless his heart! I can't wait to buy his book!!
  • I love Billy's book! I got it for Christmas. It eased my mind and I feel like Elvis is in Heaven today! Thankyou Billy!

    When I was 15 in August 1977 my family was on our way to Little Rock from Chicago to visit family friends. As we approached Memphis, Elvis had died and was laid out in the foyer of Graceland. My mom and I stood in the long line to walk past the casket to pay our respects. My father and 8 year old nephew waited for us under the shade of a tree because the heat was so intense, and people were fainting, and ambulances were taking fans away. We didn't want my dad or nephew to be overcome by the heat in the line.
  • These Stanley Brothers have written so many books on Elvis some with their wicked mother who didn't have to many nice things to say about him at all ,A man that took both she and her 3 boys in and gave them a great life via his dad Vernon . Billy is tbe oldest of the 3 brothers so he is very much aware that he and his brothers was not left in a boarding school ad he is saying they was left for over a year in a orphan home by their mom being abused , their father was a military drunk and his mom first came after Elvis who didn't want her as soon as he and his father and grandmother made it to Germany 1 month to be exact after Elvis mom passing , She couldn't get Elvis so she went for his dad .This history can be researched , The second son said they was left in an orphan home wondering and crying for their mom's return Ricky Stanley told his story after he had turned his life over to God assuring he had forgiven his mother that can also be researched as well as every interview the Stanley family have given , In the end after Elvis passed they began to write books their mom accusing Elvis of breaking down her marriage describing him as a big black hole that swallow people up and everyone gave themselves to him and now it's time to take back something, she was bitter because Elvis father left her for another woman 4 years prior to Elvis death , She accused Elvis of her 3 boys being drug addicts using street drugs ,Drugs Elvis never used he shunned street drugs. These people lived a life they could have never afforded for themselves before his passing and after as they write their books . The biggest and horrific lie a human can tell on another is when no publisher would take their mom on with the story she was trying to tell it was a rag sheet tabloid Enquirer magazine put the story in a 8 part documentary where this woman accused Elvis and his beloved mom of sleeping together 17 years after Elvis death stating the people who told her this was his father, Grandmother and their maid all three people had been dead for over a decade and half no one to back her lie up, She said it had been going on since Elvis was 16 and 17 I mind you Elvis and his folks was very poor at that age it was no maid to be found and the love Elvis and and his dad had for each other was so great no man would have tolerated his wife and son sleeping together while he did nothing. No mother who was Elvis grandmother would have ever admitted to having such a weak son and she would have never loved Elvis as much as she did. They couldn't afford their bills let alone hire a maid their real come up didn't happen until 1956 moving to Audubon Drive when he was 21 , Graceland at age 22 in 1957, his mom passed in 1958 in August and Dee Stanley slithered into their lives in September 1958 as a married woman. started an affair. with Vernon and married Vernon in 1960 during the time they was taken from the orphan. Research Ricky Stanley Story , Elvis didn't attend the wedding because so soon after his mom's death Vernon began to date this woman like any kid a couple of months after you've buried your beloved mother , He cared for these young boys he felt they deserved better than what they was receiving from the adults in their lives . My problem with all these different people who have written multiple books Like the Stanley family or just 1 when it got to the point he could no longer take care of them they started writing their tell all books knowing Elvis was a private man he never wrote a book ,did a documentary or interviews about his personal life and if they didn't have nothing to say about his kindness , his generosity the ones who was the closest should have kept their mouths closed. It Was always going to be people writing and talking without facts but it didn't have to be the ones he loved and cared about.. Everyone has written a book except Elvis and Lisa and that is why Lisa didn't have much or any at all to do with these people Elvis felt he could really trust because it was so many who have betrayed his trust and some who have down right lied. So I have no respect for the Stanley Family , Where was them when their mom was selling such a big Horrible lie on this man and his family, Why wasnt the 3 now 2 protecting your big step brother's name and reputation. Dee Stanley left some very bad poison back here on the Presley family name and action speaks louder than words one of Vernon last actions was to bring his late wife Gladys and their son Elvis back to Graceland , place a marker for Elvis twin and made sure his final resting place was at Graceland and in eternity he'd RIP between his wife and son and his mom close by those actions speaks volume about how Vernon Presley felt about his late wife and son. Until Billy and David can shed their thoughts and apologies. for their family( Their mom)cruel words and behavior I really don't want to hear anything they have to say about Elvis Presley. P.S. This story was done on the Geraldo Rivera Show back in 1994 ,The name of the show is the The Kings Darkest Secrets written by Dee Presley . She was no longer a Presley, Vernon separated from her in 1973 and divorced her 2 months after Elvis passing in 1977. ,Vernon left her for a lady name Sandy back in 1973 a woman Who was with him until he passed on 2 years later after Elvis.They say hell have no fury like a woman scorn in this case that is no lie. Research don't believe me or merely ask Billy he know.

    Thank you Billy you made my day !!!
  • The movie isn't a documentary. It's just capturing the feeling of episodes of elvis life...I think it did capture some moments accurately
  • Thank you Billy for sharing your wonderful stories about Elvis! I was 16 when he passed and my whole family cried! I was wondering who is this man?? Now we still listen to him and watch his movies!! I been to Graceland twice plus had a dream about him!! Elvis was great and wonderful in my dream ❤

    I enjoyed hearing Billy tell his stories. There was a radio show that actually did announce where Elvis was in his trips home it was like a fan chain. I guess Billy was young and didn't realize back then. Fans all across the country faster that a telegram 🤭😅 I appreciate Billynwriting this book and telling the GOOD stuff about Elvis. I appreciate what he said about Elvis and his Mama. Elvis' Great Grandmother Martha and Mine were Sisters. I would love to speak to Billy. God bless 🙌🏽 ❤️🌹
