Jerry, known as the killer, was the best piano player going around and still holds his own. Only Little Richard came close. Released a single just last year. So many hits. If only he didnt marry his 13 year old cousin at the peak of his career who knows what might have been. Thanks for getting into this stuff. Have another like.
Jerry had a very good voice but his piano skills were magnificent. Great Balls of Fire by him is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 also. A great performer A true pioneer paved the road for great artists that came on the scene later.
............Jerry Lee and Elvis were part of what was called 'the million dollar quartet' at Sun Studios in Memphis ..... actually, he and Elvis lived their adult lives only about 8 miles from each other! Jerry Lee at the Lewis Ranch in Nesbit, MS and Elvis at Graceland in south Memphis, TN.
Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart were cousins and used to play together at church functions and county fairs. One chose The Lod one chose rock and roll, and it was a bone of contention between them for a while.
After awhile your skin gets so tough from banging those keys you don't feel it anymore. I remember watching this performance on TV. He was a bit crazy but the stuff he turned out then was great.
He was born one town over from my family’s hometown in Louisiana. My God brother’s mother was his secretary until he moved away. He wanted her come with him, but she had a family and couldn’t easily pull up roots.
