He's up there in heaven, playing music with Elvis and Johnny and Carl. The million dollar quartet is back together. RIP the last legend of the birth of Rock n roll.
Others might not agree but he was a showman! He was wild but he was a performer who made heads turn. He lived his life the way he saw fit. That was Jerry Lee Lewis!
I first heard Jerry in 1957 in the UK, I had the honor of seeing him perform live many years later, and now as an 80-year-old man, my tears fall. Thank you Jerry for many many years of musical pleasure. As far as pure Rock n Roll goes, you were indeed THE KING.
@@teencykizmitt9955 I said 'as far as pure rock n roll goes'', Jerry was king. As one who has Elvis's autograph and all his records, I understand what you mean but Jerry never deserted his roots to make silly childish films. that was my point.
Please America, stop the hate and division because one day we all will enter immortality and our thoughts whether good or bad will cease. Only the love of God will live on forever. Choose this day which to serve, Love or Hate.
Jerry Lee Lewis, What a gift to Rock & Roll. What a gift to the World. What a treasure for heaven. God bless his soul, his family and all of his loyal fans.
I am Navy retired and therefore a veteran. I don't need nor want a funeral like this. I enlisted out of love for my country not for all these bells and whistles or freebies some veterans feel the country owes them. I am being cremated and my ashes sent to sea onboard one of our fine Navy ships along with other veterans wanting to go out the same way. Given how well known Jerry Lee Lewis was, this funeral was really modest unlike Michael Jackson's, just one example of extravagance at it's worst. Whitney Houston's was also overkill. RIP Mr. Lewis. Thank you for some amazing music.
You are right about some veterans. I think a lot of them did it for the recognition and benefits. I know one trying to get full disability from the VA because he saw someone get stabbed on leave during peace time. What a hero!
Why do you feel the need to bring up Whitney Houston’s and Michael Jackson’s funeral? It is not our place to judge whether their funerals were “extravagance at its worst “ it was their funeral just as is was Mr. Lewis’ funeral. It is amazing that people have the audacity to judge other peoples home going! Let’s just pray that they all made it into GOD’S KINGDOM!
@@pearlsgirl4236 just pointing out that Mr Lewis's funeral was far more modest then Michael's and Whitney's. Wasn't judging them. Their money to waste. Or their family's to waste I should say. Then there was the huge cost of law enforcement needed to control the large crowds that gathered for these two televised funerals. It is a little sad that you never see the funeral of a war hero covered live on a major news channel if you want to be a total jerk about me making a simple observation about two extremely talented musicians that literally killed themselves through drug abuse. Now I am being judgemental. They had a choice to not do drugs. A service member does not have a choice about being sent into battle. Get your priorities right.
@@susanburnworth7893 my priorities are absolutely straight. And it really doesn’t matter who had/has a modest or extravagant funeral. A war hero, a rock and roll star, a drug addict, a saint or sinner, in the end we all must bow our knees to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords…..Jesus Christ! Why do we judge another person’s life or death when we all have to die as well. We should not worry/care about police escorts or media coverage for those who are dead. We should be caring about how we are living! And as a matter of fact a person who dies from a drug overdose is no less than a person who has lived as a pedophile. I like the music of JLL, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc. And I appreciate ALL that American service people have done for this country, however one group or person is no better than the other! Blessings, Grace and Mercy to you and yours!
From a Brit who was a teenager when Jerry was turning out great rock & roll recordings this truly is sad. He was a bit of a wild lad at times but that and his great voice and piano playing endeared him to me. Play him regularly. RIP Killer.
Another Rock and Roll Legend leaves us ! Jerry Lee was indeed one of the pioneers of rock and roll and gave a new meaning to 'just playing the piano' , he set that piano alight with his vamping and crazy antics. His songs are everlasting , like Great Balls of Fire , Whole Lot of Shaking Going On and the list goes on! What a great !!RIP Killer
I thought it would have been quite a star studded affair but I'm pleased to see it was a very humble and quiet funeral. He brought a lot of happiness to people through his music. Rest In Peace x
He was a simple man - very talented and loved - but humble. He learned to honor his God , made music from his soul, and loved his fans. This funeral and burial place was perfectly suited to his nature. R.I.P. Killer!
may he rest in peace. Years ago when my now husband and I were dating, we went to see him. I had no idea that he was going to perform. He was not just talented musically but he did an amazing show. Rest in peace, Jerry Lee, thank you for the music 🙏
@Elvis sounds awesome! when my husband and I were dating (years ago) we went to see him, he was an amazing musician! Playing the piano with his rear end! lol!
My sincere sympathy to the family. To the squeezebox player thank you so much for that rendition of amazing grace - blessings! When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be When we all see Jesus We'll sing and shout the victory!!
I'm from Argentina and I'm a big fan of him, I was lucky enough to see The Killer live in concert 30 years ago and it blew my mind, he was the King of Rock and Roll and with all due respect, first Jerry Lee and then Elvis…. May you rest in peace, Jerry Lee, the heaven will vibrate with your piano…
Jerry Lee was my favourite. The greatest rock and roller ever. Imagine my reaction when I was contacted to see if I could provide him with an amplifier, for his evening's show in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. I was so fortunate to meet him.
Yes Keith, he was Fantastic. I saw him when I was a lad - along with Gene Vincent on his UK tour at the Birmingham Town Hall - the Fire Dept. were there in force. He brought the house down when he set fire to his piano for his final number. RIP Killer
i got to see him in Fort Worth TX in '95, he came in a few minutes late to a private show, put on the most intense 2 hour show, jumped in his limo and took off just as fast! I will never forget his energy. RIP
True after there service up get cast to yhe waste side my mom was v.a. nurse for 7 year and it made her sick how vet get treatment and treat after service up
wheres keith richards ronnie wood zz top jimmy page even elton john white stripes ?? every musician who made a penny with rock should be there to pay respect to this legend. LOVE YOU JERRY LEE!
Absolutely agree, the rolling stones didn't even turn up for Charlie Watts funeral, with that in mind they skipped Brian Jones funeral too, I've lost respect for a lot of artists.
My husband and I saw him perform in Portland, Maine, many, many years ago................and what a performance!!! He played the piano with everything, his hands, his feet, and even his butt. He was terrific and I've always admired his talent.
I hope he's in Heaven playing that piano! He's the Last of the original creators of Rock and Roll to pass. All the others have gone before him. Earth's loss, Heaven's Gain.
Worked a job next to his house. Big piano on his gate was neat. Every year his ex wife got a new mustang convertible for her birthday. A respectful burial. Thank you for posting
No matter what he did or how he lived his personal life he is a rock&roll legend and deserves our respect like Elvis would have said Thank you! Thank you very much!!! 🙏Rest in peace, my friend.
Jerry Lee Lewis was an entertainer. He changed your life no Jesus changes lives I saw him in person Jerry Lee Lewis. His cousin Jimmy Swaggart is my Pastor. Jesus changed my life
@@robincoar9824 I said he changed my life, not my soul. I was raised in a full blown pentecostal home and Jimmy was my parents hero, ironically my dad was legally named "Jimmy Lee" also. I respect Jimmy but I can relate to Jerry Lee. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
From Arizona, my condolences to the family and friends of Jerry Lee Lewis. Glad I got to see Brother Jimmy Swaggart singing with Jerry Lee Lewis on TH-cam.
Got to see Jerry play in person in Nashville. I was like 13 or 14. It was in 92 I think. Played great balls of fire on the piano. R.I.P. and condolences to the family.
From italy :...so sad that im far away and did not had chance to be there to greet this "giant of an artist" for last time.... Start to play piano and sing because of him (ive been totally shock when I first saw him!) ..... I know that now he gonna rock'n roll heaven and angels forever BUT, so sad days here for us now.... To me, last of true great real artist and big piece of United States is gone today.. THANK SO MUCH TO SHARE THIS VIDEO
I have been a fan of Jerry Lee Lewis right about 40 plus years I even had that pleasure of meeting Jerry Lee Lewis, when he opened his club and Lafayette Louisiana years back. And I tell you what what a pleasant man and to trash him like perverted so-called people are doing. A man walks with dignity and integrity under the protection of God almighty
Thank you for this upload!! Jerry Lee and his kind are truly an era gone by! Not putting down the kids coming out now, but they forever have a road map of the ins, outs, do’s and don’ts with this man’s handwriting all over it!! First generation of true road warriors that had to figure out for themselves how to not let it all drive them insane or in the ground!! He outlasted them all!! R.I.P Killer!! ❤
Rest in Reace Jerry Lee. You were the definition of an entertainer. Beautiful coffin and arraignment, thank you so much for sharing this. I've been ill and did not know he passed.
Just a simple country funeral by a Country Preacher preaching to Word of Salvation in a small Country Funeral Home. In the end,it doesn't matter what your status down here was when you leave this Life. What's important is if you accepted King Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. And That's all that matters. Jerry Lee Lewis done that.✝️🎆
Jerry Lee! You got Rock n Roll off to a great start! Man, You even did a great job in Country Music. They held that young bride marriage over your head far to long. I hope you asked our Lord Jesus into your heart and asked for his forgiveness. Before you passed. Jimmy is the only one left now. May God Bless you Jerry Lee Lewis. Thank you for your wonderful piano playing it was awesome.Long live Rock n Roll! Shawn.
Jimmy wood Youngs funeral home is not nickle and dime ferriday LA is not LA or New York city it is a small community of great people and farmers firmin Ulmer used to farm several thousand acres of cotton corn and soy beans near ferriday so don't talk down to people that you don't know or appreciate like I do .Mackey Gilley Jerry Lee and Jimmy swaggart all are cousins are from ferriday LA its a sad thing that your comments were hateful and showed disrespect as you did at an event like this .Jerry Lee and Mackey are gone from us now but their music still brings fond memories and the F 4 phantom jet in my picture is a marine jet fighter bomber at DaNang Air base in Vietnam I am a marine combat veteran and some of my friends from ferriday served in Vietnam as I did and use to pal around with Jerry lee
No one could beat this man at rocking that piano ....that's why I admire him but too u bad many of us don't realize how talented they r at something till after their gone...RIP
Jerry was a big part of my childhood I still listen to his music. So sad . Rest and sing your heart out play the piano in heaven. Rest in paradise 🕊️🕊️🙏❣️
Just learned he past away today. I didn’t know until now. I am saddened and shocked. He was a legend and I remember listening to his music with my grandfather… I would always check in every few months online to see how he is doing… I checked today and I seen something I didn’t wanna see. At least he lived a long life and he was an amazing musician. Hopefully he is resting finally after all the rock n roll. RIP Jerry. Thanks for being a part of my childhood
I WANT TO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SCOTTY FOR POSTING THIS AND YOUR OTHER VIDEOS IN YOU TUBE. HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE FROM BACK IN 1975 WHEN I LIVED IN THE MEMPHIS AREA..
In the Pentecostal Church where Jerry, Jimmy, & Mickey were raised in 1940’s & 1950’s if U had an accordion & a guitar U could have music ANYWHERE❣️They grew up not believing in having TV’s around so U sang music & Church picnics & anywhere they could to provide entertainment… Just as Elvis saw music in the Southern Black Gospel Churches… The 3 cousins learned to play music from THEIR AUNT prob so they could play in church…. Jerry & Mickey took that Boogie Woogie Sound to the Secular Entertainment Stage… They learned that style in church bcoz many times there were just regular church members that played a “LIVELY” style of Pentecostal swinging from the rafters & jumping the pews style WHEN THE HOLY GHOST FELL ON ‘EM… Jimmy chose to stay in the Church & had quite an EMPIRE established in Louisiana until his flesh got the “best” of him… No one said he was a perfect Angel…Frances, his wife, is The Saint for staying w/him… He may have attended the Funeral Service but his son, Donny, as well as grandchildren have NOW taken over day to day or operations… Jimmy may have shared a few words or Memories,but he is old enough that doing an entire service could be tough? RIP Jerry Lee… NOW U KNOW THE GREAT UNKNOWN❣️✨🙏
A Gifted n talented musician Iv never heard or seen until I started watching you tube. Every song you sing n play comes so naturally. Your sense of humour is out of this world. You’ve given so much joy to all who loved your music. Keep rocking above. RIP
My Mom and my Aunt Carol would get all decked out in the late 60's and go see Jerry Lee in mostly Kansas City. They had several photos taken with him/band over the years. Totally loved him!!! BIG BIG hairdos, sixties double knit outfits, scarves the whole nine..... They were chubby, but they did not care. They kept it classy!😂❤️ I feel certain if allowed, they were waiting on him....🇺🇲
May God Bless all those who attended & viewed this memorial in honour of Jerry Lee Lewis. I was so touched to see so many people Loved his Gift of music & Entertainment. We miss you Sir, many you Rest .
He was given a God giving talent of the 21st century. Mr Lewis will be in the place of other greats such as..........Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbinson, Buddy Holly and little Richie.
So true...................Book learned musicians sound nothing like those with born God given talent.....Bless their Mothers...and the little church they grew up in , in Farriday......
He's up there in heaven, playing music with Elvis and Johnny and Carl. The million dollar quartet is back together. RIP the last legend of the birth of Rock n roll.
Others might not agree but he was a showman! He was wild but he was a performer who made heads turn. He lived his life the way he saw fit. That was Jerry Lee Lewis!
So long, Jerry. You really did shake my nerves and rattled my brain.

My tears fall too. As I am 80 now I look back on many years of joyful music from jerry
Sorry as good as Jerry Lee was THE KING WAS ELVIS MAKE NO MISTAKE!!!!

The End of Rock And Roll Era. The last man standing has been finally in his resting place. Salute to you The Killer Jerry Lee Lewis.
He has been called the "greatest piano player in the world", a "genius", and the "Mozart" of rock n' roll. I agree, as would Jerry Lee.
From Arizona, my condolences to the family and friends of Jerry Lee Lewis. Glad I got to see Brother Jimmy Swaggart singing with Jerry Lee Lewis on TH-cam.
They actually recorded together recently a gospel recording project entitled The Boys From Ferriday.

Hey cousin we all gonna miss your god given talent
May GOD bless you Jerry Lee!! You brought so much happiness to so many!! ROCK ON JLL!! 🙏
Just learned he past away today. I didn’t know until now. I am saddened and shocked. He was a legend and I remember listening to his music with my grandfather… I would always check in every few months online to see how he is doing… I checked today and I seen something I didn’t wanna see. At least he lived a long life and he was an amazing musician. Hopefully he is resting finally after all the rock n roll. RIP Jerry. Thanks for being a part of my childhood
I WANT TO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SCOTTY FOR POSTING THIS AND YOUR OTHER VIDEOS IN YOU TUBE. HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE FROM BACK IN 1975 WHEN I LIVED IN THE MEMPHIS AREA..
You're very welcome Mary my pleasure, thank you so much for watching 🙏
I had the honor of meeting his mother and sister and many of his family while working in that area for 3 years.
The best piano player ever. R.i.p. Jerry Lee !
Thanks for posting this.
You're welcome, thank you for watching it!
The greatest
Thanks, me too from Hamburg, Germany.
There will never be another like him. He is missed dearly
Jerry Lee Lewis.. The True King Of Rock And Roll... 🎹!!!! ❤
You can say that again @Stacyann Nelson. How are you doing?
loved the man with the squeeze box playing "Amazing Grace", RIP Jerry Lee Lewis.
In the Pentecostal Church where Jerry, Jimmy, & Mickey were raised in 1940’s & 1950’s if U had an accordion & a guitar U could have music ANYWHERE❣️They grew up not believing in having TV’s around so U sang music & Church picnics & anywhere they could to provide entertainment… Just as Elvis saw music in the Southern Black Gospel Churches… The 3 cousins learned to play music from THEIR AUNT prob so they could play in church…. Jerry & Mickey took that Boogie Woogie Sound to the Secular Entertainment Stage… They learned that style in church bcoz many times there were just regular church members that played a “LIVELY” style of Pentecostal swinging from the rafters & jumping the pews style WHEN THE HOLY GHOST FELL ON ‘EM… Jimmy chose to stay in the Church & had quite an EMPIRE established in Louisiana until his flesh got the “best” of him… No one said he was a perfect Angel…Frances, his wife, is The Saint for staying w/him… He may have attended the Funeral Service but his son, Donny, as well as grandchildren have NOW taken over day to day or operations… Jimmy may have shared a few words or Memories,but he is old enough that doing an entire service could be tough?
RIP Jerry Lee… NOW U KNOW THE GREAT UNKNOWN❣️✨🙏
I feel the same way.
RIP Jerry Lee Gone but never forgotten
He was the last man standing! RIP king
A Gifted n talented musician Iv never heard or seen until I started watching you tube.
Every song you sing n play comes so naturally. Your sense of humour is out of this world.
You’ve given so much joy to all who loved your music. Keep rocking above. RIP
Jerry Lee traveled the state highways. Probably rode by my house in the days!
REST IN PEACE
Low key, the casket and flowers where beautiful...thanks for sharing
i live in ferrday. met him twice and couldnt have been friendlier !!!! GO FLY HIGH KILLER!!!!!
Another great one,goes home to his maker....god bless you,Jerry,and your loved ones.😔😥💔
My Mom and my Aunt Carol would get all decked out in the late 60's and go see Jerry Lee in mostly Kansas City.
They had several photos taken with him/band over the years.
Totally loved him!!!
BIG BIG hairdos, sixties double knit outfits, scarves the whole nine.....
They were chubby, but they did not care. They kept it classy!😂❤️
I feel certain if allowed, they were waiting on him....🇺🇲
C'est comme si quelqu'un de la famille nous avait quitté, thank's for the vidéo. RIP JERRY LEE♥♥♥
RIP Jerry you will be missed. He has gone to play and sing with the angel
May God Bless all those who attended & viewed this memorial in honour of Jerry Lee Lewis. I was so touched to see so many people Loved his Gift of music & Entertainment. We miss you Sir, many you Rest .
He was given a God giving talent of the 21st century. Mr Lewis will be in the place of other greats such as..........Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbinson, Buddy Holly and little Richie.
So true...................Book learned musicians sound nothing like those with born God given talent.....Bless their Mothers...and the little church they grew up in , in Farriday......
