Short ... powerful... and straight to the point ... that’s Jerry Lee Lewis , one of the best speeches ever heard in a award! Long live to “The Killer” Australia 🇦🇺
Very late answer.... but I do agree. A lot of rockabilly/r'n'r before its time in Hank. Other rockers before the time would be Rocket88 with Jackie Brenston&Band (1953) and Fats Domino's The Fat Man and others (1949-1954).
YES, THANK YOU --- YES, THIS IS ROCKIN ' JERRY LEE , THE FERRIDAY FIREBALL , THE LOUISIANA PIANO POUNDER , THE BLOND BOMBER , THE WILD MAN FROM THE SWAMPS !! ---- YES, HE'S THE GREATEST OF ALL THE ROCKER'S ---- JOHN UK. ----
my second girlfriend was 14 and i was 21, but we had her parents approval, we liked each other it happens. i dont condemn jerry lee lewis for that at all, its not for us to judge that anyway
Todd Bates MY BROTHER WAS 21 AND HIS FIANCE WAS 14. MY MOTHER WAS 14 WHEN SHE MET MY FATHER. THE DAY SHE HIT 18, SHE WED MY FATHER WHO WAS 22. BOTH SETS OF GRANDPARENTS WERE 12 YEARS APART. MEN REGULARLY WED AT 30 TO YOUNG POST PUBESCENT FEMALES. IN JERRY LEE'S CASE, MYRA WAS MENTALLY MUCH OLDER THAN HIM, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS 8 YEARS OLDER.
Elvis & Priscilla, Chuck Berry etc right or wrong, for the majority of human history young brides were common. Still practiced in some parts of the world.
my great grandparents my mothers mothers parents were 99 and 94 when they died i knew them and they were second cousins, it was not that uncommon 13 is young but i dont think jerry thought it was a big deal. got news for most of you you had ancestors that were cousins that married hopefully second cousins.
Todd Bates HIS CHURCH MARRIED YOUNG AS AN IMPEDIMENT TO SEXUAL SIN. HIS SISTER'S MARRIED AT 12 AND 14. HE WED AT 15 TO A 17 YEAR OLD PREACHER'S DAUGHTER. NEITHER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT SEX OR MARRIAGE. PSYCHOLOGICALLY, MYRA WAS OLDER (8 YRS. YOUNGER) THAN HIS 21 YEARS. SPEAKING OF GRANDPARENTS, MINE WERE 12 YEARS APART.
Don't get me wrong JLL deserves his place here for his music but I find it ironic that after all the scandalous behavior; wives dying & wives claiming mental & physical abuse he's revered & Johhny Depp, for example, his wife claims he abused her with no proof (& it now even looks like she was the abuser; not he) & he gets fired from 2 movie franchises & blackballed by Hollywood. I'm a victim of abuse & I'm here to say the MeToo movement claimed a victim like I always thought it would.
Listen to Jerry lee's sun recordings and then Elvis's sun recordings and tell me who played rock and roll better. Hands down Jerry Lee, just saying,that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!
With the passing of The Last Man Standing... We know in Rock n Roll Heaven...The Hell of a Band is now complete! And Johnnie Taylor will welcome him to Soul Heaven!
On the cheek. Uh idk what to say. Hank Jr. Is cool but I've never seen a grown man kiss another grown man on the cheek. Jerry Lee was probably like "😳" lol
Hank has said he had 3 father figures in his life. Ernest Tubb, Merle Kilgore, and Jerry Lee Lewis. So him kissing Jerry on the cheek is like a son kissing his dad on the cheek
