Thank you Billy that was an amazing interview. Never can get enough like I said you're producing history something that when we're not here that everybody else will know about him and that way you get the truth. Hopefully next year I will get to meet you at the Museum I would be totally blessed to meet all of you. God bless you and your family
I loved listening to this man...as much as I think he enjoyed telling it! How great Thou are..is my favorite Elvis song (I think..it can change on a dime..ha) and really loved what he added about Elvis singing it! I always say.."when Elvis sings that song..he is singing it to God..not the audience" and now I'm sure of it! Thank you so much! 🌷
I love the interviews! What an honest guy! He is not trying to say more than he knows! Refreshing perspective from someone who had the best seat in the house to watch the greatest performer who ever lived!
No rehearsal just winging it!! That's talent and confidence 💚❤
OMG my husband says Moody Blue was written and sang just for me!!! Love it Love it yes I still have my blue album....OMG thanks Billy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting that they didn’t rehearse , goes to show how great Elvis was and what a great team he had backing him up. One of a kind ❤️
I know Elvis wore band aids on his fingers because some fans would try to take his rings when he reached down to them. That bothers me that some tried that. I saw him in 1976 but couldn't get close enough. If I had gotten to the stage, I would never have tried to take his rings. I also was due to see him again on August 20, 1977. I wanted to present Elvis with a Rose. I was going to try my darnedest to get to the stage. I never took the ticket back and have the other half ticket from '76 & my ex brother in law who was there also gave me his half. Back then they tore the tickets I'm half.
The actual reason Elvis wore Band-Aids was because when he would buy new diamond rings, he didn't trust the jeweler to make it the right size if it was too big for his fingers. Some jewelry stores have been known to switch the real diamond, for a fake when sizing someone's ring. And Elvis wasn't going to take that chance, as he would spend in the neighborhood of $ 250,000.00 thousand dollars on jewelry at any given time on a shopping spree!
One of your best, Billy. Bravo
This dude is awesome. Many thanks
Thank you very much for taking the time, recording these, and putting them online for us!
Can’t even tell you how much I love your Elvis videos! Thank you Mr. Spa Guy!
Thank you Mr. Spa Guy for another great interesting interview with Mr. Bobby Ogdin. Elvis was surrounded by such talented people in his band and singers. The music back in those days were at its best. Love Moody Blue and How Great Thou Art sung by Elvis. No one can sing How Great Thou Art like Elvis did. There will never be anyone else who had the voice, talent and charisma that Elvis had. We lost him way too soon...miss him. Thankful for your talent Mr. Spa Guy and bringing us such interviews and stories of Elvis trivia and so forth. Tighten up. Have a blessed day.
PS: Mr. Spa Guy there are a lot of untrue stories and rumors concerning Elvis and the Memphis Mafia out there. The snake story for example. Moody Blue was recorded at Graceland in the jungle room.
My favorite album because it was his last album. The story goes that he really didn't want to do it or in the mood. A great story on Elvis rings. Nice of those who bought the rings back. Don't think people would be likely to do that today. Was it my mistake or do you think it was on purpose or accident that Mr. Charlie Hodge threw the rings out to the audience ? Tighten up.
Billy I just wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying these videos of the keyboard player. You are so lucky to be able to talk with him. That is just too cool.
All the people involved wit Elvis were amazing, talent was their, songs performances could never be the same. Than you Billy. E G
Hi billy.bobby I’ve really enjoyed all there stories.absolutely fantastic.thank you so much.always appreciate your hard work.have a good week my friend.
I never knew that Elvis and the band did not practice. I did hear about the impersonators back then. You did a great job of keep him thinking with your questions. Thank you!
Grandma Kay some of the old live record's you can hear Elvis saying they never did a certin song and it was done live that night. Also youtube Elvis first live songs and you can watch his live unedited videos. Keep in mind they are over 40 years old...
"He always delivered." That's a fact. He held everyone in the group to a high standard. There were days in that last year when he had to will himself through the shows. He wasn't well. Bobby may be a little dry, but he's not embellishing or making stuff up. He saw Elvis for that hour on stage. Doesn't claim to be a personal friend. Doesn't give us BS about personal conversations.
This is some great insight to the band. Enjoyed this very much and looking forward to # 4.
@Spa Guy Thanks once agin Billy for another piece to the puzzle, you are my favorite channel on RUclips, how you don't have a million plus subs is beyond me! But please keep these vidz comin. S.G.F.
Wow. Crazy Canadian typing here again. Fantastic interview. I like Mr. Ogden's genuine demeanor. What a great interview. I am enjoying every moment, every part immensely. Thank you, Mr. Ogden and Spa Guy.
Love these stories you share with us. Thanks Billy! I always look forward to your videos! So much fun to reminisce of our Elvis! Take care and always tighten up.
Wow these have been some amazing stories !! I gasped when he told the story about Charlie throwing Elvis' rings . I'm so glad people were honest enough to give them back . Thank God ...!! I hope one day you'll find out if the snake story is true or not . Thanks for sharing these great stories !! Can't wait to hear the next story !!
I love Elvis!!!
Thanks! I'm patient, looking out for part 4!
Poor bobby squezed like a lemon collecting all the mémories He kept stored in his mind, bravo Spa Guy and thank you 🇫🇷
Love watching all that you do. Have fun over the pond
Very rare to see an interview with some who worked close to Elvis, where the person doesn’t remember every tiny detail. He’s not afraid to say he didn’t remember instead of making things up.
Hey Billy, not sure but I think the Moody Blue rehearsal he speaks of may have been done in Charlotte N.C. Elvis performed here on Feb 20 & 21st I think were the dates. He tried to do Moody Blue on the 20th and did not get past the first few bars. The next night 21st he performed the full song. I wonder if that rehearsal was done there. I was at the show and still remember him performing Moody Blue and that was the only time it was ever performed live is my understanding. Great job on this with Bobby, looking forward to the rest!! Great work my friend!
Elvis should have kept peforming it at the beginning he's not sure of the words and at the end he says sure glad you learned it because I didn't know the chord changes the key or anything. He did a good version but if he'd done it a few more times he'd have really nailed it. ruclips.net/video/D7xBx7zUYog/видео.html
Great interview.Bobby seems like a nice guy..would love to talk to him myself.
Thank you spa guy once again looking forward to part 4 joe from NJ
Mr Ogdin thanks for the great stories. Elvis sure marched to his own drum. Practise at Graceland & Elvis does not show up. Yes Bobby your right as when Elvis sang How Great Thou Art it was like something special happened.It was like Elvis sang the song like a prayer/worship/witness to the world that there was a God & He only God was the Great One. Imagine the greatest most popular most loved most talented singer of all time always taking the time in most of his concerts to include 1-2-3 gospel songs. He was not ashamed to glorify God on stage. Johnny Cash Dolly Parton others did the same...God bless you Bobby. Yes Christ truly is the way truth & life!!!
Great Videos Billy ~ Thank you
Thank you very much!!♥️♥️♥️⚡ TCB
Great job
So looking forward the part 4.. Thanks Mr Spy Guy :)
This video is my favorite so far out video series. Thank you!
OOOH WORKING WITH RAY STEVENS WOULD BE SOO COOL.Love that man, would so like to meet him some day he is soo funny
Good job!!
Hello Spa Guy. Love your Videos! Can you do a video on Ginger Alden's Parents home where Elvis visited and frequently spent the night? 4152 Royalcrest Place. Memphis. ...Thanks!
I have already filmed there a couple of times but I have some details I am trying to work out before I complete that video.. It will be coming out in the future.. Thanks for watching.. Spa Guy
Oh Ok. Let me know if you would like me to ask Ginger any specific questions to help with your video, as we are acquaintances online. (she signed a book for me too). Maybe what specific room Elvis slept in or something? (in case you can get in there?). Best. Pete
Another good one!! I think if Felton had a snake Elvis would have killed it--LOL!! Because Billy Smith said he didn't like snakes. And during Elvis On Tour on the DVD, you can see Elvis throwing a ring out to the audience on purpose. I've heard that sometimes Elvis wore real jewelry and sometimes costume jewelry.
Spa guy don't forget to see the Elvis story.on H.B.O on the 14 of match is going to be a 3 a hafe hr special 2018.cant wate to see it .from a fan from Cali.
Could almost make a movie from this 4 part series ))
Jim, Do you not like it split up like this? I did it because some people will not watch a long video.. I actually have another one coming up that is 5-6 parts.. Give me your input.. Thanks, Spa Guy
Was a serious idea, its a relaxing video to watch, the guy is calm and totally stress free, enjoyable, thanks spy guy ))
Thank You for the feedback Jim.. It is appreciated.
Spa Guy, Ed, I like these in parts because iAm a woman and you never know when someone will need you immediately or sooner. I just don't have time to set and watch a whole movie.
Considering he worked for Elvis for only a few months 41 years ago, he has a vivid recollection.
Bobby is still very sharp so he did have a great recollection of things surrounding those days..
HOW GREAT THOUGH ART.
Awesome thanks😊
The Elvis impersonator may have been Elvis Wade that was mentioned at 6:38, Elvis actually was at one of Elvis Wades show and the audience was unaware, there's a interview on utube by a radio guy named Kalamazoo Country 😎
Good Info I will look into it.. It would be interesting to know who it was.. Thanks
Spa Guy No problem, Elvis Wade is still with us i believe,keep the Elvis vids coming ☺
Amamos Elvis Presley.
Ontem a noite assisti pela TV o filme Fun in Acapulco. Beatiful
So love.
Saudades imensas.
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ . . . . .
Great stories!!
Interesting conversation about the impersonator standing in for EP. i wonder who that was. Certainly, Johnny Harra was established at that time, but unless he was sworn to secrecy, you never once heard him talk about that. If you're a tribute artist who was a stand-in, wouldn't you brag about that? That's why I'm wondering if it was just a singer and not an impersonator. I will dig a bit on this.
Hi Spa Guy did you pick up the searcher box Set Yet if so what do you think thanks Joe from NJ
Here again
Hi Billy...I'm curious as to who ran monitors for Elvis...he never seems to be "upset"..with hearing himself..nor do I see him giving cues of any sort
.I'd be curious to know how many mixes were up there...lot of players.
.I'd also love to know exactly what Elvis liked mic .mwedge ..fill..mix...wise
all that..
.do you have any of that info?
thanks
There is a James that was a cousin way forney the line sang impersonator at Branson. He bought a small building in Branson. No proof just I saw it on u tube? My memory.
Down the line from Elvis
also Billy...sorry... curious..did Elvis...post Vegas..
.ever not sell out?.. literally not figuratively
tickets
The only time elvis did moody Blue live was on 2-21-1977
Well they worked on it again and as he said Elvis never practiced it with them so now you know why he only did it one time..
That was one that was playing in Virginia Brown mobile on Chesapeake had to happen either. I can't remember where we're was but they call him little lie and that's probably who he's talking about there are you either Johnny O'Hare and Johnny he did it he was the longest one to do it that I can I can think of Alana Auto fam rasa can I grew up on Elvis Presley I mean I'll say this much I know I'm always alone Elvis died in 77 on the 16th of August and I'm home floor what if what they had back down was a transistor so video listen to the car radio and hope of David play are certain version of the song I don't know who was really doing the background on the song called Ethel if I hear with my mother but the songs called Softly As I Leave You And it sound like Elvis was overdubbing his self home on on the phone I start off somebody else but that's real version of that song George Klein yeah can you read what they call a Elvis show George clowns Elvis or something like that but he was the onliest one that I could call me and hang up there and request that song I had to tell him which one I want to hear and I don't plan when I play it I'm going to a couple months ago until he passed away and life is not about that I called up Sirius Radio find out make sure man
Does he still have the clavinet he used with elvis
He does not.. They were not his.. I am not sure where some of that stuff went and do know where some went but I am on the trail.. I spoke with someone today who would know the answers to those questions.. Will be doing an interview with him after I get back from Europe.. He was Felton's right hand man..
How would u get the people in the audience to give back the rings that Elvis accidentally through out to the them instead of a scarf?
Ruth I imagine when they gave them back they got scarves.. Also Elvis fans are generally good honest people who would not steal from Elvis..
Why don't you ever ask these guys what kind of money they made being in his band? I'm very curious about that.
thesportsterkid that would be a rude question . Look at a video by Gates of Graceland, Vernon's office and you can get an idea
I don't think it would be rude at all. It's been over 40 yrs. Don't think they would mind because I'm sure they got paid by the show.
I was curious as well and I did ask.. lol.. After I asked I was embarrassed because he said it was confidential and he didn't share that kind of information.. I can't remember if I left that in the video or not.. If so it will be in part 4 if not I cut it out.. I think I cut it out.. As the interview went on I was sitting there thinking as a fan what do I want to know from a member of the TCB band... That was something like you I wanted to know..
Great job
