George Klein's Memphis Sounds with Jerry Lee Lewis (Part 2) 

You should

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.😊

He just passed on. May he rest in Peace

Jerry Lee died recently, he'd been ill quite awhile, I think he'd had a stroke.

Great singer too very underappreciated I think.

EDDIE Watson Great point. ABSOLUTELY true! Thanks 4 pointing this out.

ELVIS was the best man @George and Barbara wedding.

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

Presley invited him over because he was depressed according to an interview I saw.

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.

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:)

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! 😂

so is Mickey Gilley

67? He looks more like 87 no offense.

75 I belive.

A little rivalry there is understandable, but no one could touch Jerry Lee.

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

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.

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.
