 admin writes, "Elvis' cousin', Billy Smith shared the following story on his Elvis Fans Matter YouTube channel.
"One day the two were riding in Elvis' limousine when they passed an old colored gentleman and his wife who were trying to push their truck full of wood that had broken down.
Seeing people in need, Elvis stopped and pulled up behind them to offer help.
Elvis, who had not been recognized by the couple, offered to push the truck with his limousine.
But it didn't quite work out, so he went out and offered the old man a ride, which was warmly received.
He then took him to the Oakley Ford car dealership in Memphis.
Billy recalled, He bought this guy a new truck and I thought that old man was going to faint. I couldn't believe it!
As he signed the papers for the truck, the car salesman said, "Mr. Presley, is there anything else?"
And then that old man realized who had been so nice to him. But the generosity didn't end there.
Elvis told the old man to drive his new truck to his old truck, where he would meet him there.
He and Billy then helped him move the wood from the old truck to the new one."

The dazed old man said, "Mr. Presley, I don't know how to thank you. Do you want that old truck?"
Elvis replied, "No, but you could get something for it." Then he said, "Well, okay. I can not believe this!
I hope I don't get so excited that I wreck my new truck! To which Elvis said: "Now be careful, don't do that!"
However, this was not the end of the story.
Elvis then turned to the old man and gave him $500 in cash and said, "This will help you too."
He replied, "Thank you very much Mr. Presley! Lord bless you!
Billy added that as they walked away, he saw the old man standing there and was still shaking in disbelief at what he had just gone through."
