He was a groundbreaking 1950s performer. As a pianist, Elton John listed two people as his greatest influences: Oscar Peterson and Jerry Lee Lewis. Check out Jerry Lee’s 1958 performance of this song and “Breathless” on Dick Clark’s show. Also, you should check out “Whole Lotta Shaking Going On” from 1957.

Saw him perform when he was in his 70s, and he was still great. Jerry Lee Lewis is another legend from Memphis’ Sun Studios. He, Johnny Cash, Elvis, and Carl Perkins were the so called “Million Dollar Quartet” at Sun. They all either happened to show up at Sun Studios one day or got a phone call from one of the other guys, and they started singing and playing together. Thank goodness someone recorded it. After Jerry Lee played the piano, though, none of the others wanted to follow.

@TheCosmicGenius 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, this song is from the 50s, while this concert footage is from the 80s, I believe. Absolute legend. Jerry Lee Lewis is still with us, at the age of 86, but not playing so much, since he had a stroke a couple of years ago.

His first cousin Mickey Gilley was from Pasadena, Tx. Used to see him at a local bar called the Nesadel. sp. He is also a great piano player. He sang while playing the piano.

Jerry Lee was arguably the wildest, craziest, most controversial member of first ten acts inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he's the only one still alive. He put an album out about 15 years ago, called "Last Man Standing", featuring a lot of famous 70s rockers, including Jimmy Paige. Jerry Lee's version of Led Zepps "Rock And Roll" featuring Paige on guitar, is just killer! Oh yeah! "The Killer" is one of Jerry Lee's nicknames.

He was so great. There's a Jerry Lee Lewis Cafe downtown Memphis that is out of this world. Especially their barbecue sauce. I'll call the chef the barbecue man. He came out and I just wanted to thank him for the great barbecue and he gave me some to take that. That was awesome. And the guy that was playing Jerry Lee Lewis on the piano. Very vein and stuck on himself. But I like the music I danced. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍

MrLboyd, love your videos and comments but you most certainly, without doubt, watched the wrong video. This is Jerry Lee Lewis at 108 years old. While still talented, comes no where near what his earlier performances were like. Find a black and white video of him performing this song late 50's or early 60's and it will blow your socks off!!!! It's a must watch.

@craiger991gm 2 жыл бұрын

This is a very tame performance, nothing is on fire and the piano isn't walking across the stage from his assault like when I saw him in some litle club in the 80's.

@TheHeater90 2 жыл бұрын

The reason it's hard to identify the chorus is because this song adheres to the classic A/A/B/A standard type of song format, prominent in songwriting from about the 1910s or so through the 1960s. The A sections being the true choruses, with each of the 3 having different words, and the B section being the bridge, in this case, the "kiss me baby" part. This form generally takes 32 bars to complete, with each section taking up 8 bars each, but in this songs case, the bridge is extended by the breaks on the end of it, taking it from it's logical 8 bars to a total of 12 bars, however, the choruses or A sections are all the standard 8 bars each. On the original recording of this, and most subsequent live performances, the solos follow this same format/progression, but here in this clip, for some reason, the solos are extended into full 12 bar blues choruses/progressions. This was possibly done to make it easier for the many guest guitarists on this particular show.

Very few of The Killers pianos survived his performances, not just the few he set on fire. Sadly as the others have this is him at an older age, not nearly as wild as usual. Need to find a clip from 50-60s

@royhorn2782 2 жыл бұрын

Pianos definitely had a hard time surviving. Back in the 50s, he was drunk as was often typical for him. He was putting on his show at the San Antonio auditorium. During his performance he started kicking the hell out of a new grand piano the auditorium owned (large instruments like pianos typically were not owned by the musicians but instead by the venue). Anyway he kicked so hard, so much and so many parts of the piano, that the legs of the piano gave way and the piano crashed to the floor. Needless to say, the auditorium was very unhappy with The Killer. He was permanently banned from ever performing there again.
