This performance on American Bandstand is one of greatest in R&R history, Jerry was really smoking. He maybe received 5 grand for this performance and he put everthing he had into it.
This is the soundtrack to my life. I sing it at the top of my voice still at 69 years old. WW2 music and 50's and 60's music will never be topped. So pure and happy. Sinatra and Beatles and Elvis and Beach Boys and Judy Garland and Peggy Lee will never be topped.
C. Wilson I'm 15 and really wished i lived when those real songs were popular... JLL, Cash, Berry, Fats Domino, Elvis and Carl Perkins etc etc is/was the greatest singers of all time!
RIP Jerry Lee. Greetings from Canada! The Killer changed my life almost 50 years ago. I can't explain it. There's something about this music that's so raw, pure unadulterated and sexually passionate. WOWWW!!
Had a music Teacher that worked in a music store many years ago. Told me he wouldn’t let Jerry Lee rent a piano. He said you can buy it. By he knew what he would do to it. Set it on fire! haha
What a buillshit! Jerry Lee Lewis never achieved in getting 500 000 pan letters about his performance. Elvis did in 1956 after his appearance in Milton Berle Show with Hound Dog. Adults wrote to Milton Berle 'Uncle Miltie we never see you tv show again. Are you not ashamed to show the raskal on tv swinging and jiving his body, it is disgusting" Because of that appearance of Elvis it was not allowed for surely 1 year to show Elvis completely on tv only his chest, not his shaking legs anymore. I suggest you watch also his appearances in Ed Sullivan show. I have seen Elvis 5 times in the 70's and we were ripping the place apart! They had to hire a man called Joe Dvorac to shout at the end of the concert "Elvis has left the building" because if they didn't do that, we would still be there screamng for Elvis
I disagree. I think the two are quite similar in that regard. JLL might be a bit more hyper lol but they both get so into the music that it's palpable.
A Rock & RoLL legend and one of the best piano players besides Little Richard and Fats Domino has just passed away. 🎹🎶 RIP Jerry Lee Lewis My favorite songs of his were Breathless and Great Balls Of Fire.
Farewell warrior, unlike the dwarves who called you "The Killer". Chopin, Clyderman and others were just beginners at the piano. Thanks for spitting this out: "Cause when you call my name you know honey I burn like a wooden flame You leave me ooh breathless ah ooh baby ooh crazy.
He really is. Of the most famous legends from the pioner era of rock and roll Jerry Lee are the last remaing.. Hope he still will be with us for many years to come...
Lyrics Now if you love me please don't tease If I can hold then let me squeeze My heart goes round and round My love comes a tumblin' down You leave me ah Breathless ah! I shake all over and you know why I am sure it's love honey that's no lie Cause when you call my name You know I burn like a wooden flame You leave me ah Breathless! Oh baby, oh crazy! You're much too much honey I can't love you enough It's alright to hold me tight But when you love me love me right! Ah come on baby now don't be shy This love was meant for you and I Wind, rain, sleet or snow I am gonna be wherever you go You have left me ah Breathless Ah! Well oh baby mmmmnnn crazy You're much too much I can't love you enough Well it's alright to hold me tight But when you love me love me right Ah come on baby now don't be shy This love was meant for you and I Wind, rain, sleet or snow I am gonna be wherever you go You leave me ah Breathless ah!
