When I was eight we moved into the house next door to Mickey's older brother Aubrey in Corpus Christi, TX. I first met Mickey and Jerry when I was 12. Was awesome!!!
Two cousins having fun.....so much talent.....just learned a few days ago.....was watching old Johnny Carson reruns......and they had Jerry Lee on......and he admitted he did not read music.......that in my book makes his feats even more increadible......LONG LIVE BOTH COUSINS.....
Theres s clip on youtube where mickey gilley says jerry lee started piano playing at 3. He had his own unique way of playing as we see. His parents got a teacher to teach him the proper fingering of the keys and pkaying but they soon gave up. And the rest is history. They all started to learn by watching the older ones , parents etc play and sing. How lovely.
Looks like the guitarists forgot to play😀 one of them was watching mickey gilley play and smiled. Anyone would be enthralled and amazed at their playing. Just magic
Worth watching to the end. Lewis pounds the living daylights out of that piano. Gilley does indeed, hold his own with his vocals. They are also, indeed, cousins...listen to those two sound alike at times.
this is great watching 2 cousins play piano & sing, they haven't sung together in 25 yrs Jerry Lee said. this is fantastic. God Bless Jerry Lee & Mickey Gilley 7-29-20 thanks for posting
Micky and jerry lee look alike there’s a strong resemblance there they both play a mean piano they have a talent to die for love hearing them Good listening to them.
Carl McVoy was cousin to the young Jerry Lee Lewis and brought home the boogie that Jerry came to Carl’s home to listen to and learn. Carl had a recording career before Jerry or Micky. He’s also worth a listen.This family were all talented musically. I love all their music.
Go see Mickey Gilley and Johnny Lee in Branson. Live in person! Mickey is 82 now but hasn’t changed his singing ability. They both are awesome! A concert to remember.
The piano work is really unique. It's a combination / mix of old time rag shuffle and boogie-woogie. It's what makes it so great. Basically came out of that region.
Nobody can fill their shoes. Just a piano, their voice, a small band, a few microphones, thats all they needed. No scantilly clad back up dancers to distract you from the fact there is no talent on stage, no auto tune, no jumping and dancing around with chains hanging off, just talent.
The guy (Lee) is the most natural piano player I’ve ever seen. Music genuinely takes over him as he plays and he cannot just sit there lol such a badass. Gilley ain’t no slouch either! Too bad G doesn’t play in concert anymore :(
And all 3 use their "Left foot" to use the damper pedal. Right foot to keep time. I've never seem any other piano players do this. It's like using your left foot on a gas pedal!!:-)
Saw Jerry Lee at Gilley's, pasadena. Best show I ever saw. Towards the end of the show Mickey came on stage and at one time both were sitting on the piano bench playing together. Greatest show I ever saw.
About 30 years ago saw them both at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Ms. Mickey did his show first, then Jerry Lee came out and did his. Then they rolled Mickey's piano out beside Jerry Lee's and they did some songs together. Best concert I've EVER seen! Never seen anybody (except maybe their cousin, Jimmy Swaggart) who could play piano the way these two do! Amazing!
My best friend and I were putting a jigsaw puzzle together on the dining room table and my Dad had this on in the living room. We stopped working on the puzzle to watch this. It was great!
I was nowhere near born when this aired on TV, but I have listened to this recording so many times always wondering what it would have been like seeing this live on tv!
@@karenking5357 I lived in the same part of town from 1967 thru 1978 my youngest son was born at Harris Hospital in 1970. Did you ever eat at Good Luck on Rosedale st ??
@@lenisbennett3062 absolutely... Lol and my first child was also born at Harris Hospital... Dr Sullivan on 8th Ave... 1974... Before my Father became a Christian, He also played Rock n Roll; Country and some R&B... He ran around in those same circles for years... Tom T Hall was rythum guitar player and back-up singer in my Dad's band in Indiana... Jerry Lee and Swaggart were two of my dad's favorites... Dad could play anything but his specialty I suppose was the lead guitar... And could he ever burn up those strings! He also played, harmonica, FIDDLE, (which I loved the most) and several more. When we moved to Texas so Dad could attend the Fundamental Baptist Seminary in Arlington, on Division St, He bought my Mother a beautiful piano.. But then taught himself to ALSO PLAY IT... People like my Dad and JLL, Swaggart and Gilley, are so extraordinarily talented. It's UNBELIEVABLE!! My Dad gave up his dreams of being a BIG STAR, for the Ministry of the Gospel.. for over 40+ years... Preacher's run in the family too! 😇🛐✝️🙏🙌
If the Grand mother of all three Jimmy Swaggerr, Jerry lee and Mickey wouldn't have taught them How to play they probably wouldn't have been stars. They Owe their lives to that woman litteraly...
Great old clip. Does anybody remember when Jerry Lee would drop in Bad Bob’s nightclub on Brooks Rd in Memphis and just jam awhile? Damn those were the days.
I like the story mickey gilley told of jerry learning to play the piano at 5. The teacher wanted him to do the correct fingering but he wouldnt. In the end he got his way and what we have is magic.
You got that right because the amount of music created, produced and recorded during that 20 year span could easily be enough rock-n-roll to fuel mankind for eternity! Imho
They could've gone on for hours. Same spirit in Sam Phillip's Sun Record Studio...when Killer got together with Elvis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. Wo Daddy!
Like poetic prose in songsmiths the lyric presentation makes one sentimental. Like Julie London vocalist in the 40s/50s sultry song interpretation akin to Jo Stafford. Both cousins sound wonderful in dueling pianos. God bless.
![Gunna - back in the a [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oBrbejOHjLw/mqdefault.jpg)
The world will never see the likes of them again! RIP gentleman......we will miss you greatly!
There will NEVER be a Jerry Lee Lewis or a Mickey Gilley. Fantastic piano players who could tear up the piano. Masters
Their cousin Swaggart ain't too bad either on the 88
That’s pretty incredible when you see the close up on Jerry banging the keys at the end . Never see another like him

Wow I’m 64 I grew up with these guys pure class and a boat load of talent wow I can still remember my dad and I saw Jerry lee play piano on tv wow
The music is in Jerry Lee! It possesses him and takes over him!
So much talent in one family!
Looks like the guitarists forgot to play😀 one of them was watching mickey gilley play and smiled. Anyone would be enthralled and amazed at their playing. Just magic
i like when jerry sings those old soulful country songs. the one about his mama. so sad.
Jerry Lee was a born rock star!
The greatest Piano playing you’ll ever see!
Jerry Lee is one of a kind. Seen him twice back in. The sixties
Raw talent.
Wow!!! 3 cousins who can play that piano, including Jimmy. Talented, very talented!!!
nobody plays piano like Jerry Lee!!
Two Great American Music Legends!
A true American Icons and Legends.
So fun to watch two cousins who are both such talented country artists play & sing together. Thanks for sharing 🎶❤️
Worth watching to the end. Lewis pounds the living daylights out of that piano. Gilley does indeed, hold his own with his vocals. They are also, indeed, cousins...listen to those two sound alike at times.
I am very entertained, the best!
Very much entertained, I mean.

Mickey & Jerry great show
Dang how I love watching and listening ....... I’m surprised the piano 🎹 keys didn’t catch fire 🔥
Jerry and perhaps 4 or 5 others were truly the real pioneers of rock n roll. And his song Great Balls of Fire was right there at the beginning!
Only Jerry Lee could finish a jam by sitting ON the piano! 🤣
OMG Jerry Lee didn't play piano he attacked it. I love it!
Clint Caldwell one might say he attacked it just as efficiently as Mormon raping a 12 year old.. wait .. he did that too! Yay! The cultural hero!!
galapagoensis you are an ignorant fool.
Saw Jerry Lee in Birmingham, England in the 60´s together with Jean Vincent.
he set fire to his piano & brought the house down with his closing number
Carl McVoy was cousin to the young Jerry Lee Lewis and brought home the boogie that Jerry came to Carl’s home to listen to and learn. Carl had a recording career before Jerry or Micky. He’s also worth a listen.This family were all talented musically. I love all their music.
Two of the greatest boogie players of all time.
LEWIS BOOGIE.... THAT WAS AWESOME 😁💜
Go see Mickey Gilley and Johnny Lee in Branson. Live in person! Mickey is 82 now but hasn’t changed his singing ability. They both are awesome! A concert to remember.
Both country icons in their own right! Love it!
Lots of similarities in their voices. Awesome musical times.
Family voices, always good.
We love them all 3 nobody could beat the way their music was the greatest
The piano work is really unique. It's a combination / mix of old time rag shuffle and boogie-woogie. It's what makes it so great. Basically came out of that region.
I saw Mickey out and branston it was fantastic I loved it and I loved him

Colleen Browning true dat,
The Masters , they r 👍👍👍
Amen!
Great music. Not any today.
Can you imagine how it would sound if all 3 of them were playing? Wow
Check out the Caribou Sessions
The guy (Lee) is the most natural piano player I’ve ever seen. Music genuinely takes over him as he plays and he cannot just sit there lol such a badass. Gilley ain’t no slouch either! Too bad G doesn’t play in concert anymore :(
I read somewhere he had a fall and a stroke?
Both need Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and have it done while they are still alive.
Finally Jerry Lee Lewis got inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame!!!!!
In the nick of time
Right! Not years after their passing, like they did to Conway Twitty.
Too late . They are gone.😢
Agree 💯
Great times!
No words can truly describe the joy of good music
The grandparents of these 3 must have been really skilled musicians. They all play excellent and can sing. You get into their playing.
And all 3 use their "Left foot" to use the damper pedal. Right foot to keep time. I've never seem any other piano players do this. It's like using your left foot on a gas pedal!!:-)
Baroque Cartouche embellishments on guitars goes back to rennaissance. I'm old fashion retro chic and proud of eclectic music taste. God bless.
RIP Jerry, you will be missed!
If I could only play the piano like these guys......oh boy....!!!!
Great players ! Family reunions with them must have been awesome!
I just love bothe of them!
BOY LOOK AT ALL THAT PIANO TALENT , BOTH TOGETHER WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Uncle Mickey and cousin Jerry.... Fun memories from growing up.
Wow
Debra, do you remember " sister Carrie" she and I never got along....., but she is my sons great grannie....
Nobody can play the piano like these men and their cousin Bro. Jimmy Swaggart! i wish todays music was like this! Love this kind of piano playing!
Saw Jerry Lee at Gilley's, pasadena. Best show I ever saw. Towards the end of the show Mickey came on stage and at one time both were sitting on the piano bench playing together. Greatest show I ever saw.
SAW ELVIS NEW YEARS EVE 1975 PONTIAC STADIUM IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I EVER SAW
Phew...wish I was there .cousins kicking it up!
It just makes you wanna get up and dance sends chills thru your bones.
That's exactly what we did.
This was pretty awesome to watch
About 30 years ago saw them both at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Ms. Mickey did his show first, then Jerry Lee came out and did his.

don cook I remember when Mickey was the house band at the Nesadel club in Pasadena, Texas in the early 60s
Old guy from TX
Yep! Fact!
JIMMY SWAGGART one of them..LORD have mercy,, talents from God!
Jerry Lee Lewis..the God of piano!!
These are the true greats!
Ha, I saw this show when it first aired back in the 70’s. Good stuff
My best friend and I were putting a jigsaw puzzle together on the dining room table and my Dad had this on in the living room. We stopped working on the puzzle to watch this. It was great!
I was nowhere near born when this aired on TV, but I have listened to this recording so many times always wondering what it would have been like seeing this live on tv!
What year is this?
Love how Mickey and Jimmy took up the same style of playing like Jeery Lee. Awsome family tradition
I saw Jerry at Panther Hall in Ft. worth In the middle 70s it was a great show.
Lenis... I am from Ft Worth..
I lived on Panola..in East FW back in 1967-73
TWO BLOCKS EAST OF PANTHER HALL

Memories from my misspent youth - those were the days!

Hi
No
That last boogie was hot as a firecracker! Yes!!
Beautiful song thank you very much
"The lewis boogie, in the lewis way
I like to do my boogie woogie every day ".
simply marvelous
Mickey, jerry, jimmy , the very best, see them now , only jesus will see them in a short time soon. I love them and their pianos.
OMG just beautiful!
Great times at the Guilley’s in Pasadena, Texas. In the 80’s
those were the meaningful songs with a positive feeling
Jerry Lee had a wonderful sense of humor - example at about 5:08 during don't be ashamed of your age.
I saw Micky Gilliey at Cheyenne Fronteir Days in 1984 after the rodeo. His singing wuz far better than my riding LOL. Charlie McKlain was ther two
did i hear this right lol...."my mother and his father are brother and sister" ..2 great talents sharing the same thing
They are cousins not brothers what's the lol for?
My wife is related to them and we lived in Ferriday Louisiana back in 2004 and saw the house Jerry Lee grew up in I believe it's a museum of sorts now
This a a great video of these 2 together! Didn't think incould ever see this again! THANK you for this!!
AWESOME, absolutely AWESOME 👏
Legends!
Great old clip. Does anybody remember when Jerry Lee would drop in Bad Bob’s nightclub on Brooks Rd in Memphis and just jam awhile? Damn those were the days.
One talented family!
Diste1939 of pedophiles?? Fantastic!
galapagoensis idiot post of the century.
WHEN THESE 2 COUSINS GET TOGETHER, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE
Legends!!!!
EXACTLY! Not like most of today's no-talents who would be completely lost without backup musicians and auto-tune!
GOD BLESS JERRY LEE LEWIS.
J.D. Maya bbn
Our Roots 👍👍👍 of music
They make it look easy.
I like the story mickey gilley told of jerry learning to play the piano at 5. The teacher wanted him to do the correct fingering but he wouldnt. In the end he got his way and what we have is magic.
Yeah
@@jessiejames74920
Hell, yeah !!
the emotion hit jerry at the end.he feeling a bit competitive at the beginning.then he just started having fun.
No body EVER will see another like we did between 1950-1970. Yessir. done
You got that right because the amount of music created, produced and recorded during that 20 year span could easily be enough rock-n-roll to fuel mankind for eternity! Imho
They could've gone on for hours. Same spirit in Sam Phillip's Sun Record Studio...when Killer got together with Elvis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. Wo Daddy!
Thats Some Powerful Stuf!! LOVE I!
what a nice way to play the piano nothing like it the best at play
I did not know they were related and grew up together. That explains why they played the same style on the piano. Awesome performance.
Like poetic prose in songsmiths the lyric presentation makes one sentimental. Like Julie London vocalist in the 40s/50s sultry song interpretation akin to Jo Stafford. Both cousins sound wonderful in dueling pianos. God bless.
Awesome!! didn't know they were cuzzin..
All I can say is ... HELL YES
I wish all cousins got on like them!!!!
Wow what talent and both men were so handsome
