His song Great Balls of Fire was #1. Jerry Lee was on tour with Chuck Berry, they got into an argument over who was gonna close the show. Berry's manager said it was in Chuck's contract that he always closed the show. Jerry said fine. He proceeded to do his set, closing the show with Great Balls of Fire. While playing the piano, he set it on fire and continued to play while it was burning. When finished, Jerry walked off the stage right by Chuck Berry and said "Follow that, killer"
Whole Lotta Shakin and Great Balls of Fire are two of his you should react to. To get the full effect look for live versions from when he was young. Jerry Lee Lewis was an incredible performer.
Jerry Lee was one helluva character, but overall he is the greatest piano player of all time imo. The greatest stylist that could do Rock and roll, country and western, gut bucket blues, pop, and gospel. The man could do it all.
Check out Whole Lotta Shakin live from 1964. Dude was crazy, married his young cousin and was always pulling a gun on people... also one of the greatest live performers of all time.
You gotta remember back then we didnt have cell phones and social media so seeing yourself on tv was kind of a big thrill. If you turned and waved at the camera to friends back home or to see it later folks would think nothing of it they'd think they are just thrilled to be on a tv show.
OMG.. that just gave me a memory from when I was like 5... Saw this man at the Delaware State Fair and all I remember is he played the piano with his feet.. I had forgot about that until now... Awesome
....a little FUN FACT for you: Jerry Lee and Elvis got to know each other after meeting at Sun Records on Union Ave in Memphis. they really respected each other(except, maybe when JLL was in his drunken state- crashed the Graceland gates!) ...he and Elvis only lived about 9 miles from each other...Jerry Lee at Lewis Ranch in Nesbit, MS and, of course, Elvis at Graceland in South Memphis.
I'm On Fire is another great one by the immortal Jerry Lee Lewis. He was an absolute wild man. He prided himself on breaking every rule and doing whatever would shock people most
Hahaha!!!!!! THIS video he is actually being calm...Ya need to watch some of his live performances,especially when he was younger...Playing piano with his feet,setting it on fire and continued to play it..Find the movie "Great Balls of Fire" starting Dennis Quad,you'll love it! .He was most definitely a character back in the day...
Yeah Skeez, man. You gotta get into more Jerry Lee, baby. The Killer was the man. Any material from the 1950's to the '70's is gold. There's a clip from his 1964 UK tour floating around somewhere that is one of THE greatest live TV performances of all time. He does a set of around 25-30 minutes and it is the archetypal Jerry Lee Lewis performance.
you should watch Jerry Lee vids when he was young. There is a Jerry Lee movie. He. toured with Elvis when he first started out. Check out the Elvis movie.
Jerry Lee was awesome, but I don't know who it was that paid for this PayPal request...I'm not sure if they could have picked a worst example for a Jerry Lee Lewis video. Great song when it was done by "the Big Bopper" (See link below), but not so much when Jerry Lee did it. The Big Bopper died in the same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens in 1959, and their death was the inspiration for the song "American Pie" by Don Mclean. I would say check out Jerry Lee on the Steve Allen Show in 1957 doing "Whole Lotta Shakin". Much, Much, Much cooler performance. Again, link is attached below. Here's the original version of Chantilly Lace by The Big Bopper: th-cam.com/video/4b-by5e4saI/w-d-xo.html Here's Jerry Lee doing Whole Lotta Shakin" on the Steve Allen Show: th-cam.com/video/xs_bkhqJmRI/w-d-xo.html Peace
Its still weird he married his 14 year old neice though......I guess if Lena Heady can become world famous for pretending to do her brother for 8 years......Jerry can make killer, beloved music that stays popular while REALLY doing a family member Edit: I have educated myself. It was his COUSIN not niece. And she was only 13 not 14. None of that makes it better.

That guy is the original wild man of rock.
The Killer!!

Jerry Lee!! A classic song!! Man, could he play a piano!! 😊

The real king of rocknroll ❤
They didn’t call him the Killer for nothing. He could make the piano cry.

There was a special about Sun records Who had Jerry Lee, Elvis and Johnny Cash and they toured together.
This man would have had such a more mainstream career if he hadn't have married his 13 yr old cousin when he was in his 20's... lol... the man had it
Jerry Lee, Elvis, Bo Didley, Chuck Berry and others were the beginning and the heart of Rock & Roll
I worked in an emergency room in Tuscaloosa and I worked with 2 doctors that sang this song all the time lol
The Killer

This was one of the original songs that were called “devils music” in 1957

Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome 😊

❤😃❤
This was the biggest song The Big Bopper had before he was killed along with Buddy Holly and Richie Vallens.
Franklinton, Louisiana’s finest. Him and his cousin Jimmy Swaggart.
Jerry is Jimmy if Jimmy was honest with himself
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥🎹
you should watch Jerry Lee vids when he was young. There is a Jerry Lee movie.

Peace
Check out jee Lee and Tom Jones. Really cool
The Big Bopper,
Ritchie Valens, and
Buddy Holly died in a plane crash. The day the music died.
American Pie.
You need to hear this from the original singer The Big Bopper.
He's the greatest rock pianist ever...
The greatest guitar player ever is Roy Clark...
Jerry Lee isn't as appreciated for his amazing vocals and style
This guy was a grown man who married his 13 year old cousin
Throw his legon the pianny ?
This is back when Elvis Presley had just started out.
"Better than Elvis'
Its still weird he married his 14 year old neice though......I guess if Lena Heady can become world famous for pretending to do her brother for 8 years......Jerry can make killer, beloved music that stays popular while REALLY doing a family member
Edit: I have educated myself. It was his COUSIN not niece. And she was only 13 not 14. None of that makes it better.
You disturb the music every 10 sekond
