Lewis went across the Atlantic to thank the Brits for bringing the British Invasion to the U.S. by shaking the living daylights of the kids with him. Jerry asks me to 'shake it one time for yourself'....thanks! The greatest rock and roll footage ever.
I went to see this Man in London last year.Jesus,can he control that Piano.The whole of the London Palladium was Rocking.AND it was His 80th Birthday! Jerry if You are reading this You are Ageless.You will Live FOREVER.all my Love Paula Baggett.
At his best when his hair was wavin' back, throwin' his chair back, pounding the keys with his foot and adding impromptu lyrics! The king of spontaneity. Shake it one more time for me, Jerry!
Unless you lived through the beginning of r and r, you will never know the life changing event this was. We gave up Doris Day, Perry Como, et al with joy. This was JOY. Still is.
Today's performers need 20 dancers, 10 backup singers, 4000 lasers, 30 background musicians, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in high tech audio to match what Jerry did in this video. You just can't fake cool....
This was from a tv show in England. It was filmed just before his famous live show at the Starclub in Germany. The reason he played the song for so long, was his agent and the show's producer asked him to fill an extra few minutes. One of the best all time live rock and roll acts!
original punk rocker jerry lee lewis. he didn't give a fuck. he did what he wanted and fucking right he (along with elvis and others) was and still is an inspiration to musicians today....
IF this doesn't make you smile, there's something wrong with you. i just cried, this is amazing artistry.....musical talent, genius and the mysticism of how rock-n-roll seizes you!
Who can resist to this music?? This is fucking perfect!!!If this is the devil's music I want to go to hell.Between the flames there would be the real devil of rock and roll sitting on the piano, Mr jerry lee lewis. I think even the devil would be afraid of such a great talent ... jerry lee could crush all the singers of his time singing and playing a single note. Elvis was good, but he was not even a hand of Jerry. Already in those days, the media brought to success those they wanted, those that did not disturb the music, but they were reminiscing enough. Jerry Lee is the greatest becauese he never compromised. People had seen such things as scandals Jerry had done in good faith, and this was because the media did not want him in their own children's life or on their radio. But his audience never ceased to love him and after years of depression he managed to return. For me he was a great man, an example to follow. I know he is considered crazy and maybe sometimes he is, but I prefer to call him "pure" and without brakes. A true genius of music without which many singers would never change the way to play. Thank you Mr. Jerry Lee Lewis
Thank you for posting Jerry Lee from 1964. I sat at the end of his keyboard in 1974 a watched him play piano with lizard skin boots. He is the greatest living voice of rock and roll.
I love this so much! It reminds me of the time my mother and I saw Jerry Lee Lewis on American Bandsand in 1958. I thought she'd have a heart attack! I was crazy about his music then and still am fifty-eight years later.
you'd never see a modern performer let his fans get that close to him. I can understand why, but wow! jerry didn't seem the least bit threatened. but then fans had more sense back then.
Simply incredible! I heard his music over the years, this is my first time seeing the Killer live like this. No wonder people thought he was possessed. Look at those kids!
In 1961 I was in the Navy stationed at Norfolk, VA. There was a rock and roll show at one of the auditoriums It was a big show. The main attraction was Jerry Lee Lewis. He tore that place apart. He was the only one I could remember from that show. He promised the 2nd show was going to be even better. Sadly, I had to get back to the ship. DRAT!!!!
He was a wild child...............had middle american parents shakin for sure...can remember my mama reminding us he married his cousin....long hair before the Beatles.................
He might have been the original punk. A true wild man!! LOVE IT!!!! Seeing the feeling in his face when he sings you believe him when he says "... I Ain't fackin' " to this day this song gets people up on their feet and gives them goosebumps.
In the early to mid 1960's an interesting phenomenon was occurring in the music business. While the US was being introduced to the British Inviason, Europe was up on their feet jumping and shouting for the older US musians like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Bill Halley and the Comets.
Lol I love you. Brings back many memories I wanna tell you abount one night several years ago I was in a bar ( I don’t drink now or go to bars) and someone played you and that song shakeing on the jukebox well I just couldn’t sit still before I knew it I had a crowd around me in a circle cheering me on it was fun I won’t ever forget that night thank you Jerry Lee Lewis for 🎤 for me that night xoxo 😘 💕
Very charismatic man, I met him backstage at Holyoke Nightclub in Indianapolis, just something bout him ,they way he looked into your eyes when he shook your hand. One hell of a performer!!!
I love the way Jerry just beats the sh*t out of the piano. he was brilliant back then and still brilliant now and that's coming from a twelve year old.
The original punk rockers. Did you see those shoes?! Cool as hell! Funny, how later generations think they are the first ones. Luckily, there are some that learn from Jerry Lee and others in each era that inspire them to create their own music.
Everybody touching him, he doesn't mind one bit, unlike some that storm off stage when touched just a couple of times and throwing a paddy 54 years on..
The reason I'm here is because I was hating on Elvis. Some one said " take a look at jerry lee Lewis"..... all I can say is wow. This man was pure rock. No faking.
They told Jerry when he first started that he would never make it. It was the Elvis era and women wanted men who could move,, not just set and play a piano. Well I guess he showed them huh?
On this day in 1957 {August 19th} Jerry Lee Lewis performed "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was at #8 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, two weeks later it would peak at #3* {for 1 week} and it spent over a half-year on the Top 100 {29 weeks}... It reached #1 on both Billboard's R&B Singles chart and the Hot Country Singles chart... Personally, for me, I was 12 years-old at the time, it was a great rock 'n roll week, all five of my 1950s idols were on the Top 100, besides Jerry Lee & Buddy, Elvis' "Teddy Bear" {#5} and the "All Shook Up E.P." {#46}, Little Richard's "Jenny, Jenny" {#32}, and Fats Domino had two records on the chart, "When I See You" {#41} and "What Will I Tell My Heart" {#100}... * According to Billboard, "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On" was tied at #3 with "That'll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly & the Crickets...
I ve heard this name for the 1st time few minutes ago.It s a 1st Class Show for real.So showy,very spectacular,so enthusiastic.I shared it on my facebook nd tagged some of my best friends
The reactions of these fans shows you the power that Jerry Lee had. Incredible.
Ein Star zum Anfassen ... wo gibt's das heute noch?? Einfach nur genial ...
Lewis went across the Atlantic to thank the Brits for bringing the British Invasion to the U.S. by shaking the living daylights of the kids with him. Jerry asks me to 'shake it one time for yourself'....thanks! The greatest rock and roll footage ever.
I never saw such a connection to an audience before.Truly a legend
This man knows how to rock a house. What a legend.

Where are charismatic musicians, like Jerry these days? The Killer, godfather of rock'n roll, awesome !!!!!!
Jerry is a great gift for the piano-tuners.
pretty damn incredible. Those kids were never the same after that, i can promise you. Pure Rock and Roll. Love it!
original punk rocker jerry lee lewis. he didn't give a fuck. he did what he wanted and fucking right he (along with elvis and others) was and still is an inspiration to musicians today....
This is raw and real, this is performing, body art...
IF this doesn't make you smile, there's something wrong with you.
i just cried, this is amazing artistry.....musical talent, genius and the mysticism of how rock-n-roll seizes you!
Jerry Lee is fucking awesome. Period.
This was the hit in 1957 - when the drug and the only drug for 90% of the fans, was straight and pure rockabilly rock and roll.
Who can resist to this music?? This is fucking perfect!!!If this is the devil's music I want to go to hell.Between the flames there would be the real devil of rock and roll sitting on the piano, Mr jerry lee lewis.

Jerry Lee rocks good like a country boy should.
"Come on over, we got chickens in the barn! What barn? What barn? MY BARN!" best line there ever was written.
I love this so much! It reminds me of the time my mother and I saw Jerry Lee Lewis on American Bandsand in 1958. I thought she'd have a heart attack! I was crazy about his music then and still am fifty-eight years later.
This is just pure great rock-n-roll
Good golly, this is so great. I can watch this over and over again.
The power of rock n roll is amazing. This was dangerous stuff at the time, revolutionary in fact.
you'd never see a modern performer let his fans get that close to him. I can understand why, but wow! jerry didn't seem the least bit threatened. but then fans had more sense back then.
Perfect time capsule of absolute classic Rock and Jerry Role!
You cannot imagine how huge this was in MY day..
Wow. I am reading Jerry Lee's biography and am watching these. self taught piano player. Love this guy. Head of this time.
The killer still rocks!! I love you Jerry Lee!!
Just how good is this? Those kids out there are shitting themselves from joy. He's truly one of the greatest.
I need this in my life. 💕No words
Damn! Jerry Lee was a hellraiser!
WOW!!! Has anybody ever torn it up like The Killer? EVER??!!?? That was awesome.
Actual music..pure..no computer corrections. Elvis eat your heart out..Its the Killer!
Unbelieveable... even today a badass!

Greatest song in history of rock and roll- Love it when he drops it down--We ain't faking , whole lotta shakin goin on

Would have loved to be at that concert , man what a show !
Simply incredible! I heard his music over the years, this is my first time seeing the Killer live like this. No wonder people thought he was possessed. Look at those kids!

B. T. I grew up watching great balls of fire 😂 I love the killer

From a 72yo Aussie fan.
Maybe if you rock that hard, you get to live forever.
One of the greatest of all time.

I always considered Jerry Lee Lewis to be the real king of rock and roll.
Happy Birthday to the Killer! I never thought you'd make it this far, but glad you did. You are the last man standing!
Had the great pleasure of seeing perform at the NCO Club, Columbus AFB, Mississippi in 1963/64. Great performance. Love his music.
True American rock n roll, what started it all!
I saw him back when he was in his prime,he put a great show on,I love the guy still do
Very charismatic man, I met him backstage at Holyoke Nightclub in Indianapolis, just something bout him ,they way he looked into your eyes when he shook your hand. One hell of a performer!!!

Blessedtouch I love the piano playing with his shoes
This is performance master at his most amazing. He has full mastery of how to work a crowd!
It's all about the goosebumps! I feel sorry for anyone that never experiences that feeling...
I love the way Jerry just beats the sh*t out of the piano. he was brilliant back then and still brilliant now and that's coming from a twelve year old.

Great music by Jerry Lee Lewis. I grew up near Ferriday,Louisiana

This is the greatest live performance in the history of rock and roll....
HAPPY (80th) BIRTHDAY, DEAR JERRY!!!
(born 29 September 1935)
If someone asks you, "What is rock & roll?," show them this.
Jerry Lee was Elvis and Liberace all rolled up into one!!! :D
what a great piece of history.
he is greatest piano player of all rock history
Incredible!!!
What a showman!
Puts the so called stars of today just how terrible they are.
The reason I'm here is because I was hating on Elvis. Some one said " take a look at jerry lee Lewis"..... all I can say is wow. This man was pure rock. No faking.
I Love this Song! Whole Lotta Shakin Going On!
such passion, talent & a bit ....you know!? love him , a true master of music :)
Jerry is a king too.Not only sing but play the piano fast and furious way.
Muy buena música de antaño..gracias desde Argentina
This guy makes Elvis look all prim and proper.
They told Jerry when he first started that he would never make it. It was the Elvis era and women wanted men who could move,, not just set and play a piano. Well I guess he showed them huh?
It's Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Punk rock. Love the look on the kids faces, they know that even their grand-kids won't top that.
On this day in 1957 {August 19th} Jerry Lee Lewis performed "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'...
