Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On (Steve Allen Show - 1957) 2231pm 28.10.22 you young folks will remember this... i liked his nose vs piano issues... two things would totally engage my interest as a child dunno if i fronted up the performances in question or whether i was just entranced - the haka as performed by New Zealand rugby team and jerry lee lewis early tv skits...
He WAS that. Age and censorship took its toll. Ironically 1957 were cutting age with some of the first hard rock tunes. Elvis' Too Much and Jailhouse Rock. Didn't see that again until about 1967.
I can tell you one thing. I remember all the reaction! Mom & Dad of the time were absolutely agasp! Preachers were giving sermons about the Evils! Us youngans were flipping!
RIP Jerry, love him or hate him, he changed the world. Can't imagine what the authorities during McCarthyism were thinking when they saw this performance. 😆😆
Jerry Lee Lewis was ten years older than me. I was twelve in 1957 when this film was made. ALL music was more insane back then. Insane as in Fabulously Insane. The artists had no fancy acoustics or today's technology. Their raw talent, along with their instruments (in this case the piano) were the forces behind their success. I didn't see Lewis in concert but I did see Elvis, James Brown, Luther Vandross, Keith Sweat, Sonny & Cher, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Ray Charles, Earth Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, Tracy Chapman, Tina Turner, Lionell Richie, Baby Face, Boyz ll Men, Willie Nelson, Whitney Houston, Michael Bublé and maybe a few more I've forgotten. I had tickets/great seats to see Michael Jackson in Seattle in the 70s but he cancelled his concert. My only regret is not seeing Prince and Queen/Freddy Mercury. I wish all you young-uns could have experienced the era, beginning in the 1950s, I was blessed to experience. There will never be another like it. That music will live on into infinity. I encourage y'all to go back, listen to the magnificence of the music I grew up with. Oh JoY
You're right... And let me tell you that you are very, very lucky to can be there, in all that concerts..... Do you travel out of the country, sometime to see someone?
More prudish more uptight more fun police more stupid, lazy, talentless, everybody gets a trophy, heads way up their entitled insecure prudish wastoids.....OK. I feel better now. Still not too excited bout the future though. It's a new decade round the bend so who knows? Good music, prolly not. PC fun police getting their just desserts and the rest of the world moving forward without them. We can only hope. Safe space my fist
Maybe bc he dated a 13yr old i believe, i still love his music tho, just not the man himself but im sure he obviously regretted it bc of the way people reacted
This is what spit-out the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. It birthed the standard of Good Music to me. Over in Bejing at the Hardrock is a stained glass window with Buddy Holly on your right and Jerry Lee on the left, ELVIS in the middle. The only piano player who hits the wrong note and makes it sound right.
I was very blessed to see him and Roseville at the lonesome armadillo. He had to take a break because he was so winded. I think he was going up to his 90 years old. He’s an awesome man.
Wow. The last truly rock and roller has now gone. We've pretty much lost them all and moved on into another era. Unfortunately, the music we have today will never compare to what has been previously. Unless, music turns creative again, we may never see it back enough to really enjoy current times with a great background music to go with our lives.
Just heard about Jerry Lee's passing a short while ago. And I thought that he was going to be around for a while. He was the last living legend-and we had already lost his famous cousin Mickey Gilley this past summer. May they both rest in perfect peace and surely they be rocking and rolling up in the Heavens Above.
Oh my god I have just heard the news that His Majesty Jerry Lee has died. RIP. And THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING There will never be another. Im so sad, feels like I have lost a friend
Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis Pressley had all quit the music business in the 60s. Jerry Lee Lewis single handedly kept rock n roll going by never quiting and rocking out night after night and playing the original rock n roll songs of his fellow peers who were out of the music game at the time. Never forget that. Jerry Lee never quit on rock n roll.
I remember being shocked at how long his hair was for the 1950s. You grow those strawberry-blonde curly locks of his to shoulder length---he's Robert Plant behind a piano!
Jerry Lee Lewis, 87, is now Rock'n up in Heaven. He passed away today Oct. 28, 2022. No one could sing it like he could, he did it, he lived a hell of a life, applause for Jerry Lee!
Great stuff! Jerry Lee Lewis inspired me as a piano player in high school to learn this song, which I performed a couple of times at talent shows. I would wrap my left foot behind the chair leg so when I jumped up and pushed back, it would send the chair flying and tumbling across the stage. Thanks for everything Killer!
The best part of this was watching the drummer stay with Jerry. They got out of sync just a tiny bit a few times, but each time you see Jerry look at him and then they find it again. Great stuff.

I'm glad I was born in the 60's. I saw so much talant that lasted through the early 80's where you could party and walk anywhere you wanted to in most venues. It's sad those days are gone.

As if I need something to remind me just how old I am, I can remember watching this performance on the Steve Allen Show. I was a freshman in high school.
What was your first initial impression and how did you or the others around you react. Rock and roll just feels good, babies who are just a few months old dance and wiggle to the beat, but witnessing this as it happened was it like "woah this is different and .... I love it"?
Consider yourself blessed, in the aspect of having been there at that time. Know that children are reaching back and searching these things. They're finding history in their way, much like you (and I ) did in a library. Multiple millions of kids, generations on, will wish they could have been there.
Have you seen a production of "Million Dollar Quartet"? It plays fast and loose with the timeline of Sun records for the sake of condensing everything and creating drama, but it is a fascinating look at just how much firepower they had. Plus it made me realize Jerry Lee Lewis almost certainly had ADHD.
Jerry Lee and Mickey Gilley are my cousins and I don't count Swaggart and they don't either but I can't believe that they are in my life and I have Lee as my middle name too and very proud of the honor and I can dance and sing to the music that is in my life and heart to see the music rock people's hearts and minds in the world today as the music makes us feel better about ourselves and the world around us and we have goodness gracious great balls of fire and we all shake it for ourselves and our lives in the world we live in as long as we all know that we have prayers and faith that keeps us safe from the issues that are not in the plans of our future generations.

When Steve Allen had Jerry Lee Lewis on in 1957 I was 5 years old. Im 70 now. What a wild ride its been to live through the entire history of rocknroll. Elvis was The King. But...this...was The Killer.
This song is absolutely amazing 🤩❤️🤩 My condolences if I invade your privacy, it's my pleasure to meet you, How are you doing? I hope I meet you in a pleasant mood..?
its strange to think that if he did the things he did and lived the life he lived now he would have ended his days canceled and in prison... are we more free today than in 1957?
Yawn. Another tired "good old days when we could..." comment. As a black man in the south, yes I'm more free than I would have been in 1957. Some things deserve to be "cancelled."
@@kaspar_1982 THAT old chestnut. You're like a walking "right-wing greatest hits" compilation. It's a pity you lot haven't convinced black folks that the dems are slaveowners. So we'll continue to vote against you. But keep hope alive.
He was undoubtedly the one who always played last when touring with Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Chuck Berry or any of the early rock greats, cuz he wrecked the joint, and really did set the piano on fire to prove it once. ;- )
A musical genius who taught himself how to play piano when his piano teacher was shocked to hear him say "that's not how to play the piano" and then showed her what a piano can do. She left and never returned.
Now that's rock n roll! The genuine article. Very raunchy for 1957. No wonder back then the squares said rock n roll was the devil's music. Rock n roll forever!!
We just lost Little Richard today (5/9/20)At this point, Jerry Lee is the last of the living architects of rock and roll,with Chuck,Fats,and Richard gone.But they will live forever,thanks largely to TH-cam!

Said Eddie Cochrane. He was my favorite. Then Jerry Lee, and I'm just a couple of years below 60, but this IS rock and roll.
The very definition of the rock n roll badass. Fearless, raw and on fire.
You can say that again…

He WAS that. Age and censorship took its toll. Ironically 1957 were cutting age with some of the first hard rock tunes. Elvis' Too Much and Jailhouse Rock. Didn't see that again until about 1967.

When Steve Allen had Jerry Lee Lewis on in 1957 I was 5 years old. Im 70 now. What a wild ride its been to live through the entire history of rocknroll. Elvis was The King. But...this...was The Killer.
Hi beautiful Cyninshadows 👋
This song is absolutely amazing 🤩❤️🤩 My condolences if I invade your privacy, it's my pleasure to meet you, How are you doing? I hope I meet you in a pleasant mood..?
R.I.P to the original bad boy of rock 'n' roll.
its strange to think that if he did the things he did and lived the life he lived now he would have ended his days canceled and in prison... are we more free today than in 1957?
Yawn. Another tired "good old days when we could..." comment.
As a black man in the south, yes I'm more free than I would have been in 1957. Some things deserve to be "cancelled."
@@pbase36 yawn. the Democratic party enslaving black people since 1828.
@@kaspar_1982 THAT old chestnut. You're like a walking "right-wing greatest hits" compilation. It's a pity you lot haven't convinced black folks that the dems are slaveowners. So we'll continue to vote against you. But keep hope alive.
I mean, he was cancelled though. Being cancelled isn't new.
Just learnt about the sad death of this man! RIP one of the greatest pianists of all time!
Whao I guess Dennis Quaid wasn't over acting.
Jerry Lee started his piano on fire at the end of one or more of his shows.
The Killer was the shit lol
😂😂😂
If anything he was reserved.

Thank you for everything Jerry lee you’ve helped me become the man I am today go play your music with elvis Carl and Johnny by those pearly gates
Those wild early rock & rollers were true rebels. This was outrageous for the times, kinda still is 😂. Rest in peace Jerry Lee.
This guy could very well be the best Rock'n'Roll pioneer performer. 🎶🎹🎤
He was undoubtedly the one who always played last when touring with Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Chuck Berry or any of the early rock greats, cuz he wrecked the joint, and really did set the piano on fire to prove it once. ;- )
He was one of a kind! RIP Killer!
A musical genius who taught himself how to play piano when his piano teacher was shocked to hear him say "that's not how to play the piano" and then showed her what a piano can do. She left and never returned.
R.I.P. Killer. The end of an era.
Now that's rock n roll! The genuine article. Very raunchy for 1957. No wonder back then the squares said rock n roll was the devil's music. Rock n roll forever!!
We just lost Little Richard today (5/9/20)At this point, Jerry Lee is the last of the living architects of rock and roll,with Chuck,Fats,and Richard gone.But they will live forever,thanks largely to TH-cam!
Don Everly and Lloyd Price are still alive.
Well, there is a certain drummer from lubbock texas.........
rest in peace Jerry Lee....the definition of a rock star
Rest In Peace Jerry Lee Lewis rock and roll in heaven like you have always been doing
Jerry lee liked her young and with family consent
It's still young
But that guy was way ahead of his time,,, great
