- Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935) is an American rock and roll and country music singer and pianist. An early pioneer of rock and roll music, Lewis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and his pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him number 24 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2003, they listed his box set All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology number 242 on their list of "500 greatest albums of all time."
Lewis was born to the poor family of Elmo and Mamie Lewis in Ferriday in Concordia Parish in eastern Louisiana, and began playing piano in his youth with his two cousins, Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart. His parents mortgaged their farm to buy him a piano. Influenced by a piano-playing older cousin Carl McVoy (who later recorded with Bill Black 's Combo), the radio, and the sounds from the black juke joint across the tracks, Haney's Big House, Lewis created his style from black artists who were unable to play to white audiences, mixing rhythm and blues, boogie-woogie, gospel, and country music, as well as ideas from established "country boogie" pianists like recording artists Moon Mullican and Merrill Moore. Soon he was playing professionally.
Lewis played at clubs in and around Ferriday and Natchez, Mississippi, becoming part of the burgeoning new rock and roll sound and cutting his first demo recording in 1954. He made a trip to Nashville around 1955 where he played clubs and attempted to drum up interest, but was turned down by the Grand Ole Opry as he had been at the Louisiana Hayride country stage and radio show in Shreveport. Recording executives in Nashville suggested he switch to playing a guitar.
Lewis travelled to Memphis, Tennessee in November 1956, to audition for Sun Records. Label owner Sam Phillips was away on a trip to Florida, but producer and engineer Jack Clement recorded Lewis's rendition of Ray Price's "Crazy Arms" and his own composition "End of The Road". During December 1956, Lewis began recording prolifically, both as a solo artist and as a session musician for such Sun artists as Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. His distinctive piano playing can be heard on many tracks recorded at Sun during late 1956 and early 1957, including Carl Perkins' "Matchbox", "Your True Love", "You Can Do No Wrong", and "Put Your Cat Clothes On", and Billy Lee Riley's "Flyin' Saucers Rock'n'Roll". Until this time, rockabilly had rarely featured piano, but it proved a highly influential addition and rockabilly artists on other labels soon also started working with pianists.
Lewis's own singles advanced his career as a soloist during 1957, with hits such as "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire", his biggest hit, bringing him to national and international fame, despite criticism for the songs' overtly sexual undertones which prompted some radio stations to boycott them. In 2005, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress.
Lewis would often kick the piano bench out of the way to play standing, rake his hands up and down the keyboard for dramatic accent, sit down on the keyboard and even stand on top of the instrument. His first TV appearance, in which he demonstrated some of these moves, was on The Steve Allen Show on July 28, 1957, where he played the song "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On." He is also reputed to have set a piano on fire at the end of a live performance, in protest at being billed below Chuck Berry.
His dynamic performance style can be seen in films such as High School Confidential and Jamboree. He has been called "rock & roll's first great wild man" and also "rock & roll's first great eclectic." Classical composer Michael Nyman has also cited Lewis's style as the progenitor of his own aesthetic. ~ SOURCE: Wikipedia

I can't even imagine how insane this must have seemed in 1957.
Estaban viendo rock sin saber que era, debe a ver sido muy intenso
A-Freaking-Men. How many letters and phone calls went down?!?! A lot! This is what spit-out the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. It birthed the standard of Good Music to me.
well said
Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On (Steve Allen Show - 1957) 2231pm 28.10.22 you young folks will remember this... i liked his nose vs piano issues... two things would totally engage my interest as a child dunno if i fronted up the performances in question or whether i was just entranced - the haka as performed by New Zealand rugby team and jerry lee lewis early tv skits...
WAY
Someone once said...'When Jerry Lee plays, even the wrong notes are right'. Damned true.
He probably said it bout himself?...Funny guy.
Love it. Its a little like Ali who was so fast he was in bed before the light was out.
@iPeteEE Awsome.
Absolutely! I do that all the time with karaoke once to 3 times a week lol @iPeteEE
Rudimentary peni bile ball
No other musicians born since Mr Lewis who can rock the piano like him. A true rock legend.
Hi gorgeous how are you doing today hope you have a great??
Ever heard of a guy named Fats Domino?
You guys got it.
@@rockyruane9379 yup. Both from Louisiana and so am I. Jerry was much more talented

You will be remembered as a legend.
Sun Records is having one hell of a reunion right now!🎤🎸🎹🎼
Awesome 👏
He have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Jerry…?
The best part of this was watching the drummer stay with Jerry. They got out of sync just a tiny bit a few times, but each time you see Jerry look at him and then they find it again. Great stuff.
One of the best referees ever.
Cut the man some slack. He was on his break from Foot Locker when he made this appearance.
Lol
Justalittleofftopicbut He left all his clothes at his 13 year old cousins place.
@@Milker-dt4dt What? I thought she was my second cousin!!
At the age of 75, I still can't understand why my parents didn't like him.
Haha your comment made me laugh! Bless ya. Keep your spirit alive. Don't let no one dim your light no matter what age you are.
Well I mean... His music was legendary. But he was kind of a creep/pedophile as a person 🤷
Maybe bc he dated a 13yr old i believe, i still love his music tho, just not the man himself but im sure he obviously regretted it bc of the way people reacted
@@triplesoulz343 And it was his cousin, people didn't like that much back in the day. Incest.
He had a 13 year old wife that’s y
The last King has left the Building. R.i.P. JLL
r.i.p EP And cousin JLL
The first real punk rocker for real ! RIP
Elvis and Jerry are lightening. Bringing energy from another planet.
Jerry Lee, Little Richard and Elvis had one thing that is sorely lacking in the artists of today. They dripped with charisma.
absolutly itcame from their soles
and chuck berry👌🏻
DONT FORGET CHUCK BERRY, JIMMY HENDRIX, MICK JAGGER
@@ochaze1 of course
Robert Plant.
I don't know what it is but these pioneers of rock-n-roll make me damned proud to be an American.
Jerry Lee Lewis, 87, is now Rock'n up in Heaven. He passed away today Oct. 28, 2022. No one could sing it like he could, he did it, he lived a hell of a life, applause for Jerry Lee!
Heaven might be a stretch 😖
@@maxwellhaddow-mendes2703 "I may be goin' to hell, but if so I'm goin' playin' the piano!" - Jerry Lee Lewis
@@RCAvhstape so very sad
“Lived Hell of a life” indeed
Nope. He is rocking in Hell for his child molesting.
Last living man from the inaugural rock hall class
2:25 I don't know why, but I can't get over that look he gives to his band right before he goes wild. Timeless.
Whao I guess Dennis Quaid wasn't over acting.
Jerry Lee started his piano on fire at the end of one or more of his shows.
The Killer was the shit lol
😂😂😂
If anything he was reserved.
If anything he was reserved.
Great stuff! Jerry Lee Lewis inspired me as a piano player in high school to learn this song, which I performed a couple of times at talent shows. I would wrap my left foot behind the chair leg so when I jumped up and pushed back, it would send the chair flying and tumbling across the stage. Thanks for everything Killer!
How did everyone react to it?
@@leoarevalo6786 The crowd loved it! 🙂
sounds awesome
This is what spit-out the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. It birthed the standard of Good Music to me. Over in Bejing at the Hardrock is a stained glass window with Buddy Holly on your right and Jerry Lee on the left, ELVIS in the middle. The only piano player who hits the wrong note and makes it sound right.
A musical genius who taught himself how to play piano when his piano teacher was shocked to hear him say "that's not how to play the piano" and then showed her what a piano can do. She left and never returned.
Jerry Lee Lewis, passed away today, 28 October 2022, at age 87. Keep on rockin' Jerry Lee. You will be missed. Your music will live on, and you won't be forgotten.
Hi gorgeous how are you doing today hope you have a great day and your family are doing well??
Hi beautiful Cat lady 😁
This song is absolutely amazing 🤩😍🤩... My condolences if I invade your privacy, it's my pleasure to meet you, How are you doing? I hope I meet you in a pleasant mood..?
RIP wild one! This world lost a legend and is now a sadder place to be in.
I was very blessed to see him and Roseville at the lonesome armadillo. He had to take a break because he was so winded. I think he was going up to his 90 years old. He’s an awesome man.
Interesting hand gesture at 1:02. ‘We got the bull by the horn.’
Jerry Lee Lewis (September 29, 1935 - October 28, 2022), aged 87

What a magnificent beast he was.
Howdy from North Carolina born and raised in the south my whole life
I'm 21 years old myself this is the music I grew up listening to him Elvis Buddy Holly Chuck Berry
Little Richard fats Domino Johnny Cash Hank Sr
The Carter family
But no one played the piano like the killer
RIP Jerry Lee Lewis the last of the rock and roll Legends.
Lewis is the original wild man, all others are a long way behind.
easy now
That’s what I call music and what a fantastic entertainer RIP jerry
RIP Killer you were a legend!
Bravo! The white man plays real black music. For 1957 it was Fantastic! And very bold.
Rest In Peace Jerry Lee Lewis rock and roll in heaven like you have always been doing
RIP Jerry Lee ...Thanks for the memories. God Bless
RIP JERRY MORE ROCK THAN MANY NEW BANDS
R.I.P. Killer. You were one of a kind and there will never be another like you. Thank you for the music. 🎹🎹🎹

Hi beautiful Laura 👋
This song is absolutely amazing 😍🤩😍... My condolences if I invade your privacy, it's my pleasure to meet you, How are you doing? I hope I meet you in a pleasant mood..?
Awww, Jerry Lee - you will be missed but never forgotten. 🌹
The Jerry Lee I saw in 1957 brought the house down. Literally. Funny how his cousins, Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley play the same chops as Jerry Lee. Guess they learned from the same person in Faraday Louisiana
RIP LEGEND greatings from Italy 🇮🇹
The very definition of the rock n roll badass. Fearless, raw and on fire.
You can say that again…
He have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Jerry…?
He WAS that. Age and censorship took its toll. Ironically 1957 were cutting age with some of the first hard rock tunes. Elvis' Too Much and Jailhouse Rock. Didn't see that again until about 1967.
He put the cajones in rock n roll.
Hell yeah!
RIP
Rock In Power 😎
Rest In Peace 💐
Jerry Lee Lewis
1935 - 2022
The sky belongs to the stars. Rest in peace Jerry Lee Lewis.
Brilliant unique Rocker. R. I. P. Jerry 🎶🎹🎷🎸
Jerry sure is beating the crap out of that piano
Rest In peace to a true legend. The word goat gets overused these days but this man’s nickname was the killer for a reason. Rest easy sir
Yes because he killed his wife
Rest in peace. The legend is gone.
R.I.P. Killer. The end of an era.
Last man standing from that era......live long Jerry Lee!!!
R.I.P Jerry Lee Lewis. Thanks for the music!
Hi beautiful Pater 👋

Rest in peace mr lewis ❤
Rest In Peace Jerry Lee!
RIP Jerry and thank you for the music
Rest in Peace. Thank you sir!
Rest In Peace "Jerry Lee"❤️
The master of rock and roll, now in the afterlife, 87 years. He's gonna rock it up there for sure.
A true pioneer of rock and roll. He was unlike any else.
The word pioneer suggest that he was in some way a part of the creative process and birth rock and roll.
I would suggest that he wasn't a pioneer. He merely introduce black music to white audiences.
Rock a Billy. Kinda a combo of rockin roll and hillbilly
Guy played with his elbows, his feet, even played parts of the piano that werent the keys lol but he played more than anything with that wild ass heart of his.
Love "the killer". I'm 83 &still love his music!
Happy Birthday to the first bad boy of rock and roll!!!
He has more mojo in the first two minutes than any Top 5 artist out the last 10 years.
RIP legend... thanks for all you did for us
So much passion when he performs, just sitting down he had a lot of stage presence
Killing it as always. RIP Mr Lewis.
My gosh, I remember watching this at the time. I was ,9 year's old. Whoo. A long time ago.😎
Don Clark newyorkio
Don Clark me too!!!

RIP JLL you'll be greatly missed.

He pounded the piano almost as hard as his cousin 😂
Huh? ... his cousin didn’t play pian-WAAAAIIIT A MINUTE 🙀
oh my fucking god
Greasy Bean b r u h
Lucky lad
Greasy Bean Lmao I remember reading about that
Now, that's what I call passion.
That Host was feeling it at the end. 😂. In the beginning said "the beat and words go by to fast to feel or understand the song" then at the end shook Jerrys Hand and couldn't resist to continue to boogie
Magical.
You know Jerry is serious when the hair starts flying.
That drummer is killing it!
...Apparently he's been resurrected...
Praise the Lord!
October 28, 2022, just found out about 45 minutes ago Jerry Lee Lewis passed away, rest in peace Killer 🕯
Little Richard just died. RIP. Let's all protect Jerry Lee Lewis at any cost. He's the last pioneer of rock n roll that's still alive today.
Edit: RIP to both. He just died today.
Attacking that piano
I love how his hair goes all WILD.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💫❤️🧡🧡❤️
RIP JERRY! Bet it’s shaking pretty good right now with Elvis, Holly, Perkins, Orbison
Nobody rock the house like Jerry Lee Lewis… Nobody… This is wild sexual energy. Makes you wonder if Jerry Lee had to be stopped… He was too raw And too wild. The establishment just couldn’t handle this at all
Wow Jerry Lee Lewis must be one of the best piano players in the World 😱🥳👍
Amo USA! Love Brasil!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Rip Jerry Lee Lewis we miss you❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 I really hope you’re having a great big party up there in heaven I know what are you doing in heaven playing the piano and sing songs
Insane amount of stage presence, especially considering he was sitting most of the time.
Simplesmente sensacional!
Fantastic 👏
Jerry Lee and Mickey Gilley are my cousins and I don't count Swaggart and they don't either but I can't believe that they are in my life and I have Lee as my middle name too and very proud of the honor and I can dance and sing to the music that is in my life and heart to see the music rock people's hearts and minds in the world today as the music makes us feel better about ourselves and the world around us and we have goodness gracious great balls of fire and we all shake it for ourselves and our lives in the world we live in as long as we all know that we have prayers and faith that keeps us safe from the issues that are not in the plans of our future generations.

1:23 I wish I Can Play The Piano Like That
I took piano as a kid & my teacher insisted that I hold my hands up & play with my fingers. Jerry Lee just slapped those damn keys and made some of the best music of all time.
I bet Steve Allen sure didn't know what to think about that lol. Back in 57' was a whole different time, a different world and I wish I could have been there for that ride. I loved Jerry Lee and always will. His music will go on forever as so many others will as well. That's called raw and real talent. The kind of talent that opened the gates for others. Rest in Peace Jerry Lee. We'll always love you.
He would have been more popular than he was if his prime was not the same as elvis
Elvis didnt cause it, marrying his 13 year old cousin is what killed his popularity
Cosmonaut all he said was he would be more popular. Which is obviously true.
wish i were alive back then to enjoy this
just like me i wasnt born in the right era
Jake Pauler take yo disney channel sounding ass and gfys there was more black artist coming up during then time than any other
So you're saying because you weren't around in that era you cant enjoy it? I dont understand why people say they were born in the wrong era when you can literally listen to ALL the best eras of music now
Barry Scott sane
enjoy it every day the music only dies when we stop playing it.
Sun's magnificent 5....Perkins, cash,orbison,Presley and Jerry Lee. And the killer is the last man standing. Who would've ever thought it.
One of my favorite song writers and musicians
RIP KILLER ❤❤❤
Jerry Lee Lewis, The Killer, was laid to rest Sat, November 5, 2022 in his home town of Faraday, LA.
