I WOULD NOT BET JERRY MADE IT
@jeffcrafton798 Jerry was born again....he believed ❤️ Lord. Guess that's not really up to us. He is entitled to the same gift of salvation...as me and you.😊
There will never be another one like Jerry Lee Lewis! The best man was the Last Man Standing! RIP Jerry Lee!
Nobody. Nobody can play the piano like Jerry Lee the Killer. Love him
This train is bound to Glory....yes SIR!!!!
God takes music back
Man what a sight it would've been to see The King and The Killer setting down at a piano together and listening to them go at it. Nothing I wouldn't give to see it.
You should
So awesome Jerry is still going, look how long Elvis has been gone, so crazy to think about, keep rocking Jerry, Elvis did not have to die so young, really sad, RIP KING
RIP Jerry Lee & GK two originals !!
This guy out lived alot of entertainers. Still kicking.
He just passed on. May he rest in Peace
Hats off to George for teasing great stories out of Jerry, great interview .
This is a terrific interview. Mutual respect and JLL so modest and understated with his stories and there are a lot of them. Legend
A virtuoso a real one !!!!!
This train...what a awesome performance
Got to meet him 1 on 1 after his show @ BillyBob’s in Ft.Worth.The coolest cat of them all.
Really a great man...if you can accomplish as much as he has then step right up...fun vlog!
Even though great balls of fire movie is not the jerry that is or was honestly. I saw that movie as a child and didnt know what I was watching but that music in the movie always caught my attention. And the music always kept me quiet lol. The power in this mans music is extraordinary. Bless you Jerry and keep going as long as you can ❤ 🎹
Jerry Lee Lewis belongs on the "Mount Rushmore" of Rock and Roll. A true Rock and Roll icon.
This was great interview, Georges series of these vids have been, George was right there at the birth of rock n roll, you can see the l I very between these 2, I don't think George would have expected to go first from this world, Jerry lee is still hanging in there late 2022, Jerry lee was recently asked if he had gotten that Covid thing and he replied 'It went right around me', he's still got it going on.
Jerry Lee died recently, he'd been ill quite awhile, I think he'd had a stroke.
The greatest
!!!!!
Excellent entertainer.
Jerry Lee is the greatest of all time. If it were not for him I never would have learned to play piano and sing. I finally got on national TV on AMC networks "Showville" where I got play piano and sing my original song "Boogie Woogie a la King" inspired by Jerry Lee Lewis. I met Jerry in NY in 2007 and got to hang out back stage thanks to my friend Kay. Got the picture of Jerry and I hanging on my wall. Thank you Jerry for your great music which inspires me every day and has got me through some tough times. Rock on Killer!!!!! Thanks for posting this interview.

Come what may what ever will be will be
Play it joyce happy birthday sis in heaven
My lovely idol Elvis and Killer!!!💐🌷💐
Jerry Lee doesn’t get the credit he deserves .he is the last man standing 🔥🔥🔥
Bin a big fan since 1959 , the killer is king.
It's so sad that they turned him down a lot in those days. He was ahead of his time. At that time was he only playing rock or also country In the 50s.
thanks George this is great, love JLL always 7-23-19
Jerry and mickey and Jimmy could play so great.
He is definitely one of the greatest country singers of all time. Should have been a regular at the grand ole opry.
Yeah one of my favvv s tooo Rockib' my life away....should have sold PLATINUM. WUAWW what a piano virtuoso !!!!!! Another monster hit is
" I AM WHAT I AM, NOT WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE...."""!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!
Absolutely Great in every way. What a fascinating interview. These guys are the essence of what I've cherished all my life .
This is a great show!
WHEN DO THEY RELEASE THIS ONE ?????
I like your Gospel recently Jerry
i would have love to met him. wowow.
I like this guy because so many interviewers were so cruel and rude ...this was a fun talk
Yeah country too !
A true red, white and blue Rockabilly American!!
by far THE BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST
Solid rock Jesus
One of the most distinctive voices in popular music, not even considering the pumping piano . Put a 100 singers on and you pick jerry lee out in a second. Just got that style!
Great singer too very underappreciated I think.
EDDIE Watson Great point. ABSOLUTELY true! Thanks 4 pointing this out.
The ring on George Kleins left hand was given to him by Elvis.
ELVIS was the best man @George and Barbara wedding.
Now Jerry also out lived geroge, and now they are all gone 😒 RIP to all the the Memphis boys, Memphis will never be what it was without them,
Last MAN standing.. Sad but true.. Who's this reporter? He seems to know him so well.. Very good.. He made the killer open his heart at him and to his fans..
Savvas The interviewer is George Klein, who is famous in his own right. He is in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
He was a local DJ back in the 50s and high school friend of Elvis’. Elvis was his best man when he got married. George was part of Elvis’ posse the Memphis Mafia. Given he is from Memphis and Jerry Lee was as well since the 50s they knew each other well through the decades.
He recently passed away.
George Klein, who met Elvis in 8th grade and traveled and toured with him, then he went on to become a DJ in Memphis.
There would have been no Beatles, only for these artists, so really they've got a lot to answer to
Hell, he has even outlived G.K.!
last man standing...what a generation of lunatic originals , thank God!
JLL is,and has been, my biggest influence in my music career.
❤ JERRY LEE LEWIS ❤
George is such a great interviewer.
RIP
The Killer, amazing talent...

I wonder how he learned to play that piano that well. How many years of practice it took to get that good. He mentioned he started at 8 years old.
If you listen to part 1 he shares he taught himself 🎹
dev smith He can't read a note of music. . .never took a piano lesson or any other musical instrument lesson NOR took a voice lesson: 100% purely NATURAL :) Hard to believe but it is true:) what Love Whyte says above is correct! Thanks Love Whyte:)
Thanks for this (I meant part 1 & 2!!!)....priceless!
Last Man Standing,,is his best record ever
He played the piano throwing his arms around.
Do God's work and we never die
I crawled across a beam 30 foot in the air in a big ass pole barn and cut the back drop down because the Killer was tearing it up on the stage that was in the barn in a field with 30 thousand people in front of it and it was over 100 degrees in that barn. Reason was to get some damn air blowin in there. It was hot as hell and humid. we were all soaked with sweat.
I have 2 Jerry Lee Lewis 45's original Sun Records. Prized possessions.
Thank you for so much fun!
Jerry had said the movie was accurate and that he liked it, and that he would not have changed any one thing about it.. I believe in an interview with Arsenio Hall, when it fiest came out.
ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS OF ALL TIME ! YVONNE HENDERSON ANDERSON
The thing that caught my attention was that on Arsenio he said he loved Great Balls Of Fire movie and he told people to go see it! On this interview he said he didn't like it Lol Jerry Lee Lewis was a little crazy.
Follow that!
Nodody ever did a enterview like this one to the Killer!
God's shaking the earth removing all evil
A compliment........from anybody. So very humble. (:D
Jerry was never humble and was extremly jaelous of Elvis Presley i mran i love him but it's the truth.
@@stephanePerras69 You can't last 50 years by jealousy. It just simply does not exist.
@@stephanePerras69 I think he was more talented than Presley but Presley was marketed better.
@@s.r.r. respect you but dont agree Elvis was a better signer his voice unbeattable
Lewis mentioning his name in almost every song because he wea thinking too much of himself all the time annoyed me
I like him and he loved the piano but I listen to his cousin Jimmy Swaggart and Gospel
You can say what you want but the Killer is the shit
Thankxxx to TH-cam
B U T we need all those UNRELEASED CONCERT FOOTAGE and unreleased concerts+Shows !!! NOW !!
DON'T YOU AGREE GUYS + GIRLS ???
DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HIS TALK; BETTER HIS SINGING...HAHA HAHA
He always had the style “I am the one and only King, first accepted to the hall of fame” that I never liked. I admired and liked his music though
I liked Gene aultry. I had his records
Jerry Lee The Killer Lewis The True Rebel King of Rock n Roll! No comparisons!
Actually when you were in that limo with Elvis driving after playing with Jerry Lee Lewis at the house, you all heading towards the Memphian to go watch a movie you kept praising Jerry Lee , Elvis stop the limo and said hey say that one more time you're going to go work for him.... well George that's what you said in your book so you should have told Jerry that the truth
For real! He said the same thing after the Beatles left the house and the guys were praising them. Elvis could praise a singer but you didn't do it, not in front of him! 😂
what "The Killer" don't say is when he rolled up to Graceland drunk and demanded to see Elvis that night is that Elvis was watching the whole incident from his security camera monitor in his bedroom. Even Elvis didn't care to be around Jerry Lee due to his drug and alcohol binges. Great video from GK & JL!!!
Presley invited him over because he was depressed according to an interview I saw.
Kim clement rock and roll advisory
Songwriter Harry Warren prolific song repertoire in the Hall of fame akin to Ray Noble in England.
This is from 2010 Elvis died in 1977 He just said it was 33 years since Elvis's death
Jim my swagger the is jerry Lee's first cousin
so is Mickey Gilley
But JLL was very VERY JEALOUS.....
He is kind of Jealous of Elvis. That is completely obvious. They are both from the same Era and each have their own look but they sound a lot a like sometimes. But Elvis is the King & Elvis looks better. And sounds better. I don’t think Jerry Lee can handle that he’s not dubbed the King.
A little rivalry there is understandable, but no one could touch Jerry Lee.
Tout Ray Noble a composer, arranger, comedian and Ray Eberle. The lullaby of the leaves and In A Little Gypsy Tea Room quaint charming songs re-interpretation by myriad vocalists. Gypsy Tearoom in New Zealand Auckland proximity. Like your rockabilly bluegrass vocals exuded vulnerability and strength. Like Zac Brown Georgia native and his Band and Old Dominion a novice musicologists that loves discovering vintage music and bandleaders Jan Garber and Johnny Hamo Kentucky Serenaders as well as Pharoah Sanders saxophonist and Jan Garbarek infuse indian and jazz music. God bless Sir and family.
Wow you don't say I like this singing
He died last week.
From that dog satan
Wow zzzzz 308
Charlie rich was really cool...
so Jerry was 67 here
67? He looks more like 87 no offense.
75 I belive.
Last man standing because unlike the others he wasn't still abusing his body with booze and drugs in his late 30s, with the best medical care that money can buy pop stars would live a lot longer, but years of constant substance and alcohol abuse takes it's toll.
Cash lived the longest considering the vast quantities of Drugs and booze he pumped into his system.
Perkins did pretty well seeing he spent almost 2 decades in a drunken haze
Albert Tatlock You seem to follow them all pretty closely: Great point(s) and absolutely true!
You just be talking about GK. Jerry lee never stopped drinking and didnt leave pills alone until he was hospitalized and stil dabbled in them some even after that but Jerry lee drank on into his 40s and 50s I know if not longer
It's like the whole show is always leading up to Elvis and what they did with him, what he thought of then etc.
It must be awkward for other performers " Famous in their own right" to go onto a tv show briefly talk about their own career and get asked so many questions about Elvis.
Sure he was the biggest name of them all, but it's like he's still overshadowing them even long after his death, I'm aware they need publicity and to get it they have to talk about Elvis, but c'mon change the bloody record George, sure you were a member of his Gang but to promote him to the extreme is getting a bit much.
In all fairness I guess most people watch this because they are Elvis fans and that's how you make money by getting guests to talk about him with you, but it gets very tiresome
I always preferred Jerry Lee's music to Elvis. Obviously a matter of opinion, but I believe he was much more talented.
@@s.r.r. And the cool clothes of JL.
Jerry wasn't fit to tie Elvis shoe laces
Bullshit,Elvis always said that Jerry Lee was one of his favorite artist.Elvis was not a musician,Jerry Lee is,Elvis was a singer,but much better than Jerry Lee Lewis..Facts are facts and your facts are wrong KM..
Jimmy Gilstrap Elvis could play the piano and Guitar. Also he could sing any style of music .Elvis was very Humble and he and Jerry Lee were friends and had respect for each other . Elvis had a ear for music and was a Natural . Jerry Lee was Amazing and his style was all his and God gave them both talent .I have a friend who lived a Graceland with Elvis and he told me some great Stories about them and they had great love for each other . Elvis is the only singer to ever be put in all of the hall of fame s. He loved Gospel music and he gave so much away all to help his fellow man and never wrote off a dime . What a pair of legends the Killer and the King . And bye the way Elvis got it right when one night at a sold out show . A whole role of girls has these signs thAt spelled out Elvis is the King . When he saw this he stopped the show . And told them to put down the signs and sit down he said Jesus Christ was the King and I am just a man I'm no King . Then he played How great thou art . Elvis proudest moment was when he inducted into The Gospel hall of fame But it was later after he had passed . Both Men are legends . That memphis Sound will never die with men like them and Johnny cash .
Keith Middleton
Your mama was though.
JLL the Original Rebel
of Rock n Roll and he will always will be The Real King of Boogie Woogie Rock n Roll that Elvis could never play.
Elvis was great, but he was no Jerry Lee Lewis. He couldn't even play the piano 1/8th as good as Jerry Lee.
Plus, Elvis was too busy putting his makeup on like a woman, to go touring with Lewis, Cash, Orbison & perkins.
They ask him many times in the early days in the 50's, but elvis way afraid to get beat up at some of the joints along way.
Elvis was also embarrassed to even take his shirt off going swimming when Tom Jones came over for a pool party. Pricella said later that elvis mentioned that Tom Jones was built more of a man than he was, so he felt embarrassed to take his shirt off around him.
Elvis was great singer, but he was flake in a lot of ways.
Not to mention all the women dates around him from the 50s said they sat near him and he would never get excited like he was limp all the time so I think he had some sexual problems that's for sure.
Priscilla said when she was married to elvis at Graceland, that Elvis didn't touch her for a good 6 years that he was terrible in bed and he couldn't perform.
Imagine that, being Elvis Presley have all the looks and talent singing and you can't even perform in bed with women.
But he had a great voice and looked good, that's about it.
He was no actor that's for sure . The movies were lame.
@@FaithfulServant316 What a load of garbage you write! What a miserable person!
Jerry could be a real jerk, but he was one hell of a talent. As a piano player he was without peer IMO. He also had a very distinctive voice. RIP killer.
JLL is,and has been, my biggest influence in my music career.
