One special nurse who provided care to Presley at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee in the mid-70s.
Almost 28 years later, registered nurse Marian J. Cocke can still remember the day Elvis Presley made his way into her life.
It was the second week in January of 1975. Marian, then a unit supervisor on a medical floor at Baptist Memorial Hospital, was asked by Elvis' personal physician, Dr. George Nichopolus, if she would personally care for Elvis. 'Dr. Nick', as Marian called him, explained that Elvis was a shy fellow and that it had taken some coaxing to get him to stay .

Thank you Joe for another great interview. I think these are all wonderful to listen to.
I hope you'll post more -- I know you were concerned about backlash from fans, but even if I don't care for a person all that much, and their memories may not be consistent with other people's accounts, I think it's very interesting to listen to them talk about their own experiences, memories, thoughts, etc.,
Ms. Cocke's description of his being shy, his insomnia, his extreme generosity, (to a fault), his love for his mother, are consistent with many other accounts.
I also liked that she didn't share his medical condition(s) -- that information would be confined within the doctor/patient confidentiality relationship.
sorry but i only have 2 more and i really play Dee or Hebler . I am looking for others but think my wife tossed them but i will keep looking .
Marian Cooke was a great lady. She was so good to Elvis and he liked her alot.
I hate that Elvis died.... I hate that Lisa Marie died.... It was a tragedy for the 🌎 World. 😢😢
Я прочитала ,как после смерти Элвиса Пресли Присцилла алчно и цинично начала чистку имущества.У родителей Линды Томсон отсудила дом ,который Пресли им подарил.Джо Эспозито хотела перетянуть на свою сторону ,чтобы он согласился корректировать завещание в пользу Присциллы ,а не Лизы Мари.У Стенли хитрым способом забрала видеоматериалы семейные и многое ,многое другое.Я испытала отвращение к этой женщине.Нельзя её хоронить вообще возле Элвиса!Это кощунство.Он оказывается вообще был против ,чтобы она какое либо отношение имела к Грейсленду и к его фамилии.Берегите память Элвиса Пресли ,который прославил Америку,а не желания этой хитрой гиены Присциллы.
Love this❤
Marian also did charity events at the Peabody Hotel after Elvis had passed to honor his legacy and the proceeds went to various local charities. It's nice to hear interviews where people who knew him have kind and loving things to say. We will never know who did what for him. Elvis looked to both nurses as motherly figures in his life. I'm glad he had them when he needed that attention.
❤ Is definitely old school nursing
I do give her credit for all the dinners she put on to raise money for charityand honoring Elvis!
I love hearing Ms. Cocke talking about Elvis and can't wait to find her book and read it. She got the doctors to stop working on Elvis the day he died cause she knew he was already gone.
Such a nice lady. I can understand why Elvis wanted her as his nurse.
I noticed she was quick to say i was never an Elvis fan She sounds like just another one to capitalize on his giving heart and generosity
Why would that be? She did nothing but give to the Elvis World. From the day he died to the day she passed.
Hey @jkreine82, Tish Henley was his nurse who was supposed to be dispensing drugs via Nichopolous's prescription pad. Why did Elvis need Marion Cocke to go to Graceland for the period she states.
Tish Henley worked for Dr. Nick
Tish Henley was Elvis' Nurse and lived on the Graceland grounds from 1972 until 1977.
Marian Cocke exaggerates a lot of her stories. She was a nurse at Baptist Memorial Hospital.
@@jacquelineloveselvis this is what I was getting at
She was the one who set it up for Tish. She was busy doing other things . Like she said she was Supervisor. She was very close to Pricilla and Lisa .
At about 14 minutes in, she mentions Tish. I'd have to relisten, but I believe she says she was leaving Graceland and she did run into Tish there, so that makes sense to me.
When did Ms. Cocke pass away? I spoke by phone with her approximately 8 to 10 years ago when she sent me the CD that she released. I was going to bring her lunch back then but it never happened.
Dr. Nick should have lost his license, he didn’t care about Elvis
Hi! Are we waiting for the interview? (This is new to me.)
You don't do an interview with a barking dog around and why was there so much static?!
It was at her home and i cant tell her to shut her dog up. The static is just the way it came out.
I know someone who lets his little dog bark A LOT. When I'm talking, he allows it to bark loudly and incessantly with the regularity of a beeper timed to perfect one second intervals. When _he's_ talking, he tells the little dog to "cut it out" or "SHUT UP". Sometimes I lose track of what I'm trying to say because I'm so distracted. So, the barking here set my teeth on edge. I realize it's a personal problem for me....
That Damm Dog has ruined this!!!!!
Its not that bad but i have 2 dogs
Oh the made a movie on this book called ,"Babe" .
Yep😂 She made her$
I agree why have a dog around when you are doing an interview, the static is bad
It was at a old woman's house . No way she would have had her dog removed. It was not taped to be used professionally .
I've read in several of the Memphis mafia books & interviews Elvis & some of the guys didn't care very much for her in reality. Has for me I don't care very much for Buttons her dog that ruined this interview.
Who cares whom the Memphis Mafia liked.Elvis did.She probably saw through them for what they were.
@@margarettaylor8107 That women gave him the drugs literally the morning he died and now she has written a book to make $$ off the fact! She was suppose to be a health care provider, she didn't know what was going onn, come onn man! Elvis might have called her baby when she was around him but he called her something else when she wasn't around according to Lamar Fike and yes I do care what those guys said because they knew him best!
@@ericcrawford3453 They did not know him best.They saw and heard but they fabricate and embellish such in their book which they lied for revenge and to sell more books.They said this in a video interview and the biok was ghost written by a staff employee of the National. Enquirer.They were friends but not confidants.He only had a handful of confidants such as Billy Smith, kathy Westmoreland, Mrs. Cocke, Charlie Hodge, Larry Gellar..to name most of them.The MM did not know what his confidants knew.Besides , Lamar always made scathing remarks about Elvis I believe he got his revenge for being the butt of so many Elvis' jokes.And he was jealous of Elvis.Lamar was rarely around Elvis in the last years.
Where do you get she gave him meds that morning?
@@ericcrawford3453
@@jkrein82 she was the one that dispensed the attack packets either to Elvis himself or through one of the Stanley boys or gave it to one of the guys to give Elvis thats really the reason she was e en there. It's pretty common knowledge among Elvis fans.
IS MARIAN STILL ALIVE?
No
@@jkrein82 Thank you
@@jkrein82she is.
@@jkrein82yes she is in a nursing home
"You may be the only one in my life that never asked anything of me but friendship." -- Elvis Presley Wow. Now compare THIS to the Gold Digger Witch Priscilla B.
Can't stand the dog barking. I can't listen to this.
The freaking dog didn't bark that much just at one point probably the postman or whatever but it definitely wasn't excessive so get over yourselves seriously.. geeze
@@lindaf4369 The dog was annoying. Get over yourself. Rude dogs are indicators of rude owners. You probably have a few of your own.
