    Rest In Peace!! The world is definitely never going to forget Mr. Jerry “The Killer” Lee Lewis!! He definitely changed my life. 😢 You are going to be missed, thank you for all of your heartfelt songs. The world just lost a huge part of why we have poplar music. The last of a generation. Over the rainbow I hope you found peace

    This is the very best piano rendition of Jerry Lee doing this great hit. For once, the piano track is high enough so you can hear (and see) Lewis' simple, powerful genius on the keys.

    • @mattwarner3030
      @mattwarner3030 3 года назад +6

      @DH Just as he makes it look easy as breathing, the speed, feeling, accuracy and improvisation at that moment he comes into the solo are farthest from SIMPLE. Genius and practice combined with God's almighty gifting of Jerry Lee Lewis's touch, I know to be what you are viewing.

    • @nicojo__8796
      @nicojo__8796 3 года назад +4

      @DH in fact, it's not that difficult to play (simple pentatonic C scale with glissandi). What makes Jerry Lee a genius is his capacity to improvise those unique and powerful solos right on time!

    What I like about this video when hes 2:00 hes just focus and playing his instrument That just shows you he doesnt read music that man just plays it like a jazz muscian improvising
    Alot of people dont know hes a musical genius he plays violin , guitar, drums , these are the ones that I know about.
