To celebrate the life and legacy of one of the pioneers of Rock & Roll (and possibly even the art of headbanging), I look at some of Jerry Lee Lewis' early performances and figure out exactly what was it that made him such a legend.

The Killer regularly used the standing mike as part of his routine. There is no doubt Jerry Lee Lewis is a big part of what Rock n Roll is as a musical genre. Rest in peace Killer.

I grew up listening to Jerry Lee Lewis. He was a staple on the radio and on juke boxes everywhere. I remember getting in trouble with my mama for going around saying, "Helllooooooo baby! This is the killer speaking" lol I was like six or seven years old.

I have to say that this is the first time I enjoy a review of Jerry Lee Lewis's music and performances...and the fact that you stopped the video so often to talk about it and the things he was doing made me think that MAYBE I'm not the only that like to see the little things that are going on. This is awesome...and so is my passion for his music...he was a true one and a unique one. Thank you.

Picture it: Small-town Kentucky. There is no internet. I found a few of the Killer's records at my local library: MIND BLOWN. I had to hear more, and called our local radio station to request Great Balls of Fire. I was SEVEN. The dj -- yes, live literal DISC JOCKEY -- was baffled. It was 1976. I regret nothing lololol

Jerry lee is the epitome of a stylist along with Elvis, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and a few select others. Someone who can take any song and make it their own. And don't even try me with all the new pop and rap artists that essentially copyright older songs and add some cool distortion and beat and then rap or sing over top of that. No this cat made his music with his own blood,sweat and tears. Different class if musician folks. Different class.

Off of tv at concerts Jerry would set his piano on fire 🔥

@kelliintexas3575 11 ай бұрын

OK one Jerry studied in Seminary school & graduated to be a preacher - a fire and brim stone preacher. So that command of the stage has alot to do with that, the massive stage presence came from knowing Elvis was on his same label & had already blown the doors off in 1956 with the Pelvis. This was his debut, and he wanted to create a name for himself. Hence the dramatic stage presence- His piano skills have came from 20+ YEARS of complete submergence in Gospel, Honkey Tony's, and bars. He is from Louisiana, Melting pot of Zodeco, Cajun & Tex-Mex music. 🥰💗🇺🇲

@bwilliams463 10 ай бұрын

My only criticism of the Louisiana Fireball is that, later in his career, he really fell in love with glissandoes; I feel like that little accent works better as an occasional, less-is-more trick. I believe the quick shadow flying across the bottom of the screen around 5:36 was a chair. When Jerry Lee kicked it out, Steve Allen wound up fielding it. According to Allen, he didn't know what to do with it, so he threw it back across the stage.

Steve Allen, the host, was very interesting in his own right. He developed the concept of the Tonight Show and was its first host, is widely considered the most prolific song writer ever with about 8500 songs, and wrote about 40 books.

Jerry Lee Lewis appeared on several TV shows where lipsyncing was not only very common but was actually required. But Jerry Lee Lewis would still insist on performing entirely LIVE! If they wouldn't let him do it live then he wouldn't perform!

Nice tribute to one of the rock and roll originators, and an exciting performer. He might have had the longest hair, but Little Richard and Elvis were right there with him on that. You mention influences - one of the influences of rock and roll in general and JLL in particular, was blues-derived "boogie-woogie" piano music. Boogie-woogie influenced rhythm and Blues, which in turn, influenced early rock and roll. If you look up Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis or Pete Johnson, you will see the direct influence the style had on the songs in this very video.

Jerry Lee Lewis was deservedly called The Killer. When Jerry Lee, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins were at Sun Studios one afternoon, they had a jam session now known as The Million Dollar Quartet. They were all fabulous, of course, but no one wanted to follow Jerry Lee on the piano. That’s the Sun Studio story anyway, so I’m sticking with it. I grew up in Memphis, and one of my older brothers owned some Jerry Lee records. JLL would have been a bigger star, but he married his 13 year old cousin. That was a bit too much for the record biz back then. I saw him perform when he was in his 60s or so, and he still killed it. You haven’t yet seen him play piano with his feet.

Steve Allen was a musician in his own right as well as an actor and comedian. His program started the whole late night TV talk shows. I remember seeing this show as a young child. TV was all live in those days. There was no tape. This was filmed on real movie camera film. You bet it was real fire. You are talking about a guy who would set his own piano on fire while playing it! Who else? How about Big Joe Turner and Boogie Woogie Country Girl: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ec9znLlz0cDYqmg.html

Limitations of kinescope recording, plus who knows how many generations removed from the original source these clips are from. I have seen a marginally better copy of the Steve Allen performance, but all copies of the Dick Clark performance I've seen have sounded bad.
