My testimony... I was in the music business for years. I was behind a handful of gangsta rap albums. I am from the streets (hood) so Elvis wasn't in my upbringing. I didn't know much about Elvis since I was young when he died. I was born in 72'. Bacc in 2010 I decided I wanted out of music. I don't like rap even tho it made me some good money once upon a time. Then I came across Spa Guy's videos one night and thought... This is different so lemme checc it out. I am hooked! I am such a big fan of Elvis now. I ordered all his movies and downloaded his full catalog of music. I am going to go to Graceland next year. Spa Guy took a blacc guy from the hood and converted him! Man I wish I could have gone to an Elvis concert!
Bryan Wayne thnx! Im watching this a second time. When Spa Guy put up the bathroom video the other day I had a feeling there would be a more in depth one soon!
Bryan Wayne i usually listen to talk radio. Now my flash drive in my truck is all Elvis. If i were a time traveller I think Elvis would be my 2nd pick on who I would go back and talk to. And Jesus would be 1st so that should tell u how big of a fan I am of Elvis now. I remember when I was a kid I heard grown ups mention that Elvis was a satanist. I never looked into it or anything. But I do remember them saying it had to do with the TCB and tje lightning bolt. In one of Spa Guy's videos he said "Takin' Care Of Business" in a "Flash". Made perfect sense! And that is how rumors get started. Lol
HotOneRecordz I always liked Elvis because my mother cried over him, lol BUT NOW.. having You Tube has made it easy to watch EVERYTHING I can find on him and I binge on Elvis All The Time! Makes me laugh and cry.😌💜
This brings to mind “happy days “back in the day when I was in high school.... I had a picture of “shirtless Elvis “in my locker,which my English 👩🏫 teacher ripped down,and threatened to give me an “f” If it ever appeared again.. I got an “f”and the picture now lies in state in my “Elvis room” a reminder of those “happy days with Elvis “. I would have loved to have attended high school with Elvis,I’m sure he could have taught me many things 😍❤️💕🎶🕺
Spy Guy, so amazing how big the High School was. Being that it was a grand city of course the High school would have many students. I remember we did plays by every grade one a year. How that contest changed Elvis life from being bullied and different bc of his looks to being loved and adored bc of his looks and different talent. Singing,acting and performing for others to share your uniqueness. I wish I would of met Elvis and got advice on what made him so determined to be a singer and entertain the people. I am so interested in what motivated Elvis to become bigger than life with everything the world had to offer and give him. Fame and fortune while being loved tremendously by his fans,family and friends. Thank you Spy guy for showing g us Humes High.
If I would ever get to Memphis Tennessee I would love to see Graceland, Humes High School, Lauderdale Courts and your Dojo Museum Mr. Spa Guy. Thank you for all you do. God bless.
It is wonderful the school still operates and as a school. It is a beautiful school. Elvis would be proud that his alma mater is still in operation. It was wonderful his support of his alma mater. He had a big heart and did not forget where he came from. I was glad to see the inside and outside of the school.
When it seems I've watched them all another of your awesome videos pop up! Thanks so much for helping to keep record of the Elvis legacy. I was brought up listening to Elvis.. lost touch over the years but due to the Baz Elvis movie my love has be revived! Hooked on Elvis once again - and I love these videos 💜 thanks so much Spa guy
i was very fortunate to stand on that stage and hang out that school when Goege Klein and Red West had the reunion. . It was amazing i will never forget it. loved watching this awesome video . Just love Memphis Elvis history. !!! God Bless you Spa guy and Trey for doing what you . Hope to catch up with you both in Memphis once Covid gets better and International travel is allowed again for us here in Australia. I will be bringing over a group of Elvis fans from Australia next time God willing it will be hopefully aug this year fro Elvis week. So ,issing my happy place .!!!
As an Elvis fan I am thrilled to go back in time to when Elvis was a high school kid and experience what he experienced. These videos are amazing and I can't get enough of them!!!!!! Please keep them coming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to go back in time to get to no Elvis his real nature his personality from his private life of this sweet man thank you Billy .From Sydney Australia 16/9/22 Friday here 10pm. I'm writeing my clock time here in which America is I think two hours behind of a Australia time clock not sure how it works I'll learn lol
That was amazing Mr. Spa Guy. I've always wanted to see Humes high school. To see the actual bathroom stall & stage is mind blowing!! Thank you so very much & please keep these incredible videos coming!!
Thanks Matthew I couldn't believe I was in there telling the story.. When I left that day I attended Reds Funeral so it was all very surreal.. Thanks for the encouragement it means a lot.. Spa Guy
Spa Guy This is so awesome....Spa Guy has kept Elvis alive with the younger generation... This is history folks,they’ll never...never....never be another Elvis!!
@@SpaGuy Sorry you had to do that on the same day. Thanks for this video. All schools from that era seem the same a little clinical and dark inside. I worked in a school and I can honestly say that the kids who stood out like Elvis did, dressing and acting differently, were ahead of the time. Like they know where they are going and cannot wait to go and do it. The stage got to me,as I realized that was where it all started for him. Imagine being picked on,and the day after winning the contest everyone wants to be your friend. It was touching that Elvis had two friends from this time,that remained his friend throughout most of his life. Thanks spa guy you are the best.
Red West was a body guard for Elvis when Elvis had no idea he needed a body guard. He was the first one who actually put himself between thugs trying to hurt Elvis and Elvis. God bless you Red West.
emocionante sempre fui fan do Elvis desde adolescente é a primeira vez que estou tao perto dele dos lugares que ele esteve a escola tudo e fantastico valeu spa guy eu sou Paulo da opj sao Paulo um dia vou te conhecer amigo
So much fun! Love Elvis and love all the sharlock Holmes activity on your videos :) You're digging up lots of cool treasure!! Keep on doing what you're doing it's awesome!
This is very interesting next time I’m done en in Memphis I’m gunna see that tour. I was there over the summer I saw Sun records and dropped by Graceland. I was born in Memphis in 1976
Hi Spa Guy I have been an Elvis fan for over 45 years, since I was 10. And I just wanted you to know that I have learned so much about Elvis from these videos and have received confirmation about things that I already knew. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing all of this information. I know Elvis would be so impressed by all of your knowledge of him and his life. I know you surely have expanded my knowledge of Elvis and his life. I have subscribed to both of your channels, so I never miss a video. Excellent work! Spa Guy. Please continue. ;)
If those auditorium walls could talk! WOW 🤩 You stood right where The King stood! Super cool visit!! Thank you 🙏 for taking us along! Like I always say, Mr Spa Guy knows how to TCB! Tighten up! ❤️( your drone work is awesome 👏)
Thank You I really enjoy making them and have many more I am working on.. I don't do only Elvis though that is what I am focusing on now.. Thanks for watching, Spa Guy
These vidios you made are just fantastic. The details you come up with are amazin. And to top it off you put in the drone stuff.Just magical- I just drift away to those days when a unknown Elvis was walkin them streets. Its like we are all following him on the magnificent journey he has begun. Let me shake your hand sir.
This is an award winning upload! I visited this school many years ago but only got as far as having a picture taken of the front of the building. Thanks for the fantastic research and presentation.
You're a star Mr.Spa Guy Thank you so much for this, it was great seeing ELVIS school, and the place where Red often spoke about You are a true fan . Thank you . All the best from Scotland. U.K 🌟⭐
Thank You Elizabeth, I am true fan and I know you are too.. I read the stories almost 40 years ago and wanted to see where it all happened and share it with my friends.. Spa Guy
Thank you Billy for showing all this great history...other wise I would never be able to see it..you do a great thing for us who are disabled I have muscular dystrophy .. and live on a fixed income so i would never be able to afford to visit all these wonderful places thank you sir
Thanks for what you do Spa Guy, I made a visit to the HS last week. I just took a picture and read the sign out front. No tour for me. I was surprised how close it was to town and the location.
The junior high I went to looks so much like Humes. I went to junior high at my school. My mother had gone to elementary school there. She loved thst her girls got to go to her school in Austin Texas.
Watching from here in the U.K and love all your videos especially for people like me who can`t get over to the U.S, i appreciate them and thank you my friend..
Spa Guy...Elvis his life revealed by you is like no other ...even his beloved wife should thank you for doing such a grand job! I'm thrilled to no end with your videos...Honestly
Barbara private he would been very shy and most all whacky in his boots yes in frount of all his fans what a good job it would have been so amazing and heart pumping moment 😅❤️❤️❤️ very so cool to be there great job ( billy) always thanx
Spa Guy, you show places I presumably never set a foot in (and top it off with some excellent drone footage). Thanks again, I immensely enjoy your videos!
Truly enjoy your VLOGS, on Elvis!...Ive always been a fan and enjoy his music when Im down or up.....but I recall when he passed a good friend of us kids growing up was an Elvis Fanatic!...he was in such a daze, crying with the radio on his shoulder listening to the broadcast of that day.....
I just was in Memphis in Oct. of 2019. Went to the high school, but didn't know you could actually tour it! If I ever get to go back, I will be touring that. Great video Billy. I so love your video's, even though I just found them about a month ago. Watch a few every day. lol
I grew up there..............you do an amazing job at this my friend. I'm sure Scotty, Red, Sonny & Elvis are very pleased with your work, as you help to keep their memories alive. I went to Horn Lake Elementary in the mid to late 1960s and later Sheffield HS off of Lamar. My old Horn Lake school bus stopped at Circle G Ranch every morning, at the gate there. I wonder where THEY snuck around and smoked out there, TOO! :)
Herb Walker. I agree with you Herb, the guys who are no longer with us would Love what Spa Guy does! I bet they laugh at some of the times they had. Thank you Spa Guy, for taking the time to do the research & share your finds with us! I truly enjoy learning about Elvis" life. There are so many rumors that float around, it's nice to see you talk to people, show the videos & history of places. It's very refreshing to be part of this where there's no bickering. Everyone talks, laughs & enjoys everything you do! Thank you again & God Bless!!
Jesus, Humes Middle school has seen better days. We are from Memphis TN. My mom use to teach there back in the early 90’s and retired from there some time after 2000. When I was a kid I remember that school was always an eye sore. I remember seeing all the windows busted out of the school building back then. I always thought it was odd to have so many windows broken out of a school of all things. But that’s pretty common for that area of Memphis. From the video the outside of the school looks in better shape these days at least. Guess they fixed all those windows finally, boy I bet that was expensive. 😝
I visited Humes High back in June of 2015 or 2016, maybe 2014? Can't remember. The principal was a lovely lady and gave me a free tour. At that time, there was no fee but you did have to have a reservation. She said I was probably one of the last people who was going to be able to tour the High School because it was going to become a charter school and she was afraid that Elvis fans would not be able to tour in the future. She obviously loved taking fans around. She was leaving with the existing students. I am happy to see in this video that the tours are still available. I went into the auditorium walked around, stood on the stage, went into the gym, saw the black guitar - Elvis really did sign that guitar, went to the cafeteria, and went into the "Elvis Room". The Elvis Room was a locked classroom that had Elvis items and memorabilia from that time period. There was one locker and a football jersey of Elvis'. It was so small. I asked if that was his locker and she said yes. There was also a yearbook or two and a graduation ceremony phamplet. The pamphlet was just an 8×11" piece of paper folded in half with basic info on the front, the date, etc. and inside it had the list of graduate names. And I was given a copy as a souvenir. I know I have it somewhere in my house. All I know is that I was SO EXCITED to visit Humes High and got goosebumps the entire time especially when it came time to visit the auditorium. I took A LOT of pictures and video so I can appreciate what Spa Guy has done here in this video. I didn't have a drone so that was great to see. I knew about the house around the corner from the high school and that the house was no longer standing. And I never heard of the bathroom story so I have to look into that now. ......Great video, Spa Guy!!! A++++/ 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much for this video. Loving everything you have put up and learning so much. It's great to see the places as they pertain to the stories. Truly Amazing!
Hi Spa Guy! Another amazing video.....you sure know your history and what I love best about your videos is that it is clearly evident how much you enjoy doing them......Elvis would be so proud! This one at Humes is fantastic.....such great information and great job on figuring out which bathroom was the correct one! Much appreciation for all you do to keep the Elvis history classy and spot on! Thank you!!
Thank you so much Spa Guy you are something else . l have to laugh at you for going right into wherever to get the information you need about the great Elvis Presley , he would have loved you and made you his Body Guard !
We got to see the outside on a Rockabilly Tour with Brandon Cunning, but this was the ULTIMATE IN COOL! Thank you Spa Guy for this awesome video! A Cool School! :)
This video was outstanding! I've often wondered about Elvis' high school years and experience as a student. There is one minor error I caught, however. In the part where you comment on the library card which shows 1948 as the checkout date, you said that would have been his junior year. But in 1948, Elvis was only a 13-year old middle-school boy. Regardless of that, the video was immensely enjoyable. Thanks!
Barbara private it would be a great feeling the guitar he played and been on the stage were he sang and just as u said he would have been a effect and so proud to be singing in frount of all his school mates what a great feeling oh boy it would have been shy ok but he did it a good on him elvis
It's something...Elvis being such a shy guy..except when it came to his music..he may have been nervous...but he did it!
Nothing about Elvis stays a secret once the Spa Guy gets on the trail of it. Billy. Thank You so much for the tour of Humes High School. God Bless

Another Great video! I plan on going on vacation to Memphis and visiting all the places of Elvis as you have. Thanks for all the Info!
Wow at certain angles the top of the high school looks like an E very cool.
I am also a big Elvis Presley fan and I love your videos thanks Spa Guy.
Ah,darn I love your vids on elvis was always a big fan
I visited Humes High back in June of 2015 or 2016, maybe 2014? Can't remember. The principal was a lovely lady and gave me a free tour. At that time, there was no fee but you did have to have a reservation. She said I was probably one of the last people who was going to be able to tour the High School because it was going to become a charter school and she was afraid that Elvis fans would not be able to tour in the future.

I went into the auditorium walked around, stood on the stage, went into the gym, saw the black guitar - Elvis really did sign that guitar, went to the cafeteria, and went into the "Elvis Room". The Elvis Room was a locked classroom that had Elvis items and memorabilia from that time period. There was one locker and a football jersey of Elvis'. It was so small.

I took A LOT of pictures and video so I can appreciate what Spa Guy has done here in this video. I didn't have a drone so that was great to see. I knew about the house around the corner from the high school and that the house was no longer standing. And I never heard of the bathroom story so I have to look into that now. ......Great video, Spa Guy!!! A++++/ 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much for this video. Loving everything you have put up and learning so much. It's great to see the places as they pertain to the stories. Truly Amazing!
Thankyou again spa Guy for showing Elvis high school
My dad was one of the boys in the restroom and he told me that Red was one tough SOB no one messed with him.
Wow.. Is he still with us?
No but he did say E was singing blue moon of Kentucky when they started in on him
Interesting.. Thanks..
@@SpaGuy if Elvis had known karate back then, those boys wouldn’t have stood a chance. Lol
Hi Spa Guy! Another amazing video.....you sure know your history and what I love best about your videos is that it is clearly evident how much you enjoy doing them......Elvis would be so proud! This one at Humes is fantastic.....such great information and great job on figuring out which bathroom was the correct one! Much appreciation for all you do to keep the Elvis history classy and spot on! Thank you!!

Thank you so much Spa Guy you are something else . l have to laugh at you for going right into wherever to get the information you need about the great Elvis Presley , he would have loved you and made you his Body Guard !

Thank You JJ, It is my honor to make these.. Spa Guy
Thank you. .
Ive been following your videos for along time , iam a massive elvis Presley fan, keep it up ...
We got to see the outside on a Rockabilly Tour with Brandon Cunning, but this was the ULTIMATE IN COOL! Thank you Spa Guy for this awesome video! A Cool School! :)
This video was outstanding! I've often wondered about Elvis' high school years and experience as a student. There is one minor error I caught, however. In the part where you comment on the library card which shows 1948 as the checkout date, you said that would have been his junior year. But in 1948, Elvis was only a 13-year old middle-school boy. Regardless of that, the video was immensely enjoyable. Thanks!
Out of the 10 places Elvis Presley lived at in Memphis, only 3 are still residences.
I no these documentarys are not cheap to make its a sacrifice of love for this info folks for millions of fans to enjoy
Thank you. great video!
Great video I love the picture comparisons on all the videos u do
The King
Thank you Spa Guy!
Barbara private it would be a great feeling the guitar he played and been on the stage were he sang and just as u said he would have been a effect and so proud to be singing in frount of all his school mates what a great feeling oh boy it would have been shy ok but he did it a good on him elvis
I enjoy the videos keep up the good work
Thanks Bill... Glad you are watching, Spa Guy
Your hard work is so amazing. Why is that guitar in the gym not being taken care of? It's a real piece of history. Its just sitting on the floor.
So friendly
great work my friend!
Bet the bullies that wanted to cut Elvis's hair did not want people to know their names in the years that followed.
I bet they didn't! They must have been horrified with their behavior.
I would love to meet you
Great video!
Spay Guy Is My Hero Like Elvis Is Thank's Spa Guy
This is the best documentation ive seen the spa guy owns u tube of ELVIS INFO
"Things have changed, but the History is still here." I'm sold Friend. I sub'd
Great video Spa Guy. You definitely do your homework.
Nicely filmed, and I like how overhead shot of the school was shaped in a big E , thanks for sharing.
Yes Elvis himself never knew the school was shaped like an E.. Thanks for watching, Spa Guy
Thankyou
