Well see, there's people in Nashville who actually know the facts, ie that he first screwed and then eventually married his 13 year old cousin, so being an incestuous pedophile kinda rubs a lot of people the wrong way. He was also quite violent, shot and almost killed a man, and quit probably killed one of his ex-wives, so yeah Jerry Lee was basically a piece of shit who made great music.
@Russell You cannot tell shit about his music. His private life is not his music. Mostly morons mix art with private life. If it's a politics thing to be in the Country Music Hall Of Fame, you're right. If it's about music, art, sorry 2+2 are 4
Thank god for youtube, this man is one of the best country singers, ...in those days you could recognise a singer just by his/her voice...these days you don't know uf its a nan or women singing, they all sound the same...and every song back then had a begining a middle and an end like a story...todays music is dead before it gets off the ground, i think there will be a great revival in old style music, country and pop, and people will be crying out for the old style of entertainment....1960/70s is where I'm at
Now that's "beer drinkin' music". Who'd have ever thought that between Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee would be "The Last Man Standing"?
I'm 76 years old , have been a country music fan my whole life. I know all the old singers and still remember the words to tons of songs no matter who recorded them. Jerry made so much wonderful music. Don't know why this one was always my favorite. Thank You and Rest In Peace Good Man.
Rockin' Jerry Lee. He's got that earthy, churchy, something to his sound. Can't put your finger on it but it's dynamite. It never grows old. Jerry Lee Lewis!
I have really started to appreciate the Killer over the last few years. I saw him as a child in the late 1970's and 80's. I loved him but did not realize how much talent he has until recently. GOD ! I miss real music.
To me Jerrry Lee was at his best with his country. So very soulful. Wish I could turn my car radio on now & hear all his great country songs. So sad that country isn't country anymore. So greatful to youtube! My uncle shared Jerry Lee's country with me many years ago & I've been his biggest fan ever sense.
Why is this great singer not in the Country Hall of Fame before he dies? Between 1968 and 1977, Lewis had 17 Top 10 hit singles on the Billboard country chart, including four chart toppers. The answer is that he never played to the old country crowd and now he is too old fashioned for the pop country fakes.
The Country Music Hall of Fame,only elects 3 new members each year. They Vote on Popularity,and who has contributed to The Nashville Music area, as well as the Charts,and how much it sold. You are right about it. Alot of performers who should've been(1940s) elected,and missed by few Votes,are now not known to those on the Election Board,today.So,they don't even make the List. Now the oldest era that makes the Cut,is from the 1960s. Taylor Swift & Carrie Underwood,will be in the Hall,before others who've paved the way,and paid their dues. They need to elect 5 a year,instead of 3. Be Fair to all.
Well a couple of traditionalist Country have made it in the hall of fame and their names are Alan Jackson and Randy Travis. They are not fake Country by any means.
It has always been a popularity contest. When Jerry Lee and Glen Campbell can't get in....somethings wrong! Both are individuals of great talent with many great hits. Their music is forged in both rock and country and their presentation is as polished and professional as any entertainers of their time.
Bill Johnson Glen Campbell is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. He got inducted on November 15,2005, and it was televised Live,on the CMA Show,when they still done it that way.
Outstanding rendition. Unlike some of Jerry lee's other live performances of this great song, this one is pretty true to the studio version, and that's a good thing in this instance.
Just listen to that "Sho Bud" steel, anyone who played in or was around the country bands of yesterday knows exactly what I am talking about. Best sounding steel ever, PERIOD!!!
Mornings come and Lord my mind is achin' Yes it is Sunshine standing quietly at my door Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor Once again The whole town will be talking Yes they will And Lord I 've seen the pity that's in their eyes They could never understand Its her sorrow its not a man No matter what they say we know she tried Babys packed her soft things and she's left me She's left me She's left me And I know she didn't mean to make me cry It's not her heart Lord its her mind She didn't mean to be unkind Why she even woke me up to say goodbye It's not her heart Lord its her mind She didn't mean to be unkind why She even woke me up to say goodbye Goodbye Baby
, this man has been blessed truly by God with the talent that He has and the way he can protect the song almost perfect Jerry Lee is truly a blessed man God bless you Jerry Lee
I almost saw him at Vally Forge in Pa in 1985 but he was hung over from a show in Atlantic City the nite before. I was really sad but thats "The Killer" hes the best!
Man...will somebody tell me again...WHY IS THIS MAN NOT IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME!?! It doesn't get any better!
At least he married her ,could have been worse

He is ours
Politics
There aren't enough words in the English language to describe how good this dude was.
So true, or any other language for that matter.
The rock and rollers can try all they want to claim Jerry as one of theirs, but he's always been a country and western star to me.
Well finally Jerry Lee gets into the CMA Hall of Fame!
God has a place in Heaven for those that upload these.
Thank god for youtube, this man is one of the best country singers, ...in those days you could recognise a singer just by his/her voice...these days you don't know uf its a nan or women singing, they all sound the same...and every song back then had a begining a middle and an end like a story...todays music is dead before it gets off the ground, i think there will be a great revival in old style music, country and pop, and people will be crying out for the old style of entertainment....1960/70s is where I'm at
One of Mickey Newbury's finest efforts. Nobody puts their soul into a song like the Killer.
Yeah....the killer of 2 of his wives.
Jerry Lee got soul man !
Now that's "beer drinkin' music".
Who'd have ever thought that between Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee would be "The Last Man Standing"?
Jerry Lee nailed another one. The most underated talent of all time period.
I grew up listening to the Beatles, Rock and the Blues and this performance put tears in my eyes. I’m glad I found JLL before it was too late.
He is such a wonderful singer. This song kills me. Cry every time I hear it. ❤️
I'm 76 years old , have been a country music fan my whole life. I know all the old singers and still remember the words to tons of songs no matter who recorded them. Jerry made so much wonderful music. Don't know why this one was always my favorite. Thank You and Rest In Peace Good Man.
Mine too
Rockin' Jerry Lee. He's got that earthy, churchy, something to his sound. Can't put your finger on it but it's dynamite. It never grows old. Jerry Lee Lewis!
This one (like so many of Jerry's songs) gives me the chills up and down my spine. WOW!! How great this man is!!
I have really started to appreciate the Killer over the last few years. I saw him as a child in the late 1970's and 80's. I loved him but did not realize how much talent he has until recently. GOD ! I miss real music.
Jerry Lee "killed it" on this one.
chills up and down my spine. WOW!! How great this man is!! His music does me the same way.
Wow! I had to listen to this song twice and had a tear running down my cheek! Jerry Lee is the GREATEST!
I bought an album in 1968 called "What Made Milwaukee Famous " with this song on it. One of the greatest.
That happened to me back in early 90s
She woke me up to say goodbye
This makes me want to have a beer and a dance. Lolol
I always have to put this on replay a few times.
🎹MI MAX INFLUENCIA EN EL ROCK AND ROLL COUNTRY🎹
I will miss him , and thank him for giving me beautiful grandchildren.
Undoubtedly one of the ABSOLUTE GREATEST Entertainers EVER!
You can hear the sadness and heartbreak in every note. Brilliant!
To me Jerrry Lee was at his best with his country. So very soulful. Wish I could turn my car radio on now & hear all his great country songs. So sad that country isn't country anymore.

@terence francis is this true or are you bsing?
John Lennon was a douchenozzle
Rosemary Tuttle love it
Willie's Roadhouse on SiriusXM does a pretty good job of playing Jerry Lee Lewis' classics in his run in country.
The killer is something special 💕
He had me with the second line out of his mouth: "LOOOORRD my mind is achin'.
My, my, my....
It won't be the Country Music Hall of Fame until Jerry Lee is inducted. That is as pure as real country can get.
He already has been inducted
I would say this is one of Jerry's most amazing performance to be found on RUclips! As someone before said, pure magic!

Glad to know that he's in. Now Jerry Lee needs consideration.
RIP Jerry Lee, you gave your all!
Jerry's country was like no one else....He could record country music and have a hit every time......
Jerry Lee and Moon Mullican are the two most underrated singers ever.
Just Incredible! His voice is used like a brass instrument!
Jerry Lee is a diamond!!!😃
Great song.Great performance.
Jerry Lee Lewis is a true star. He is the REAL thing. His piano solos were blueprints for rock.
The Killer gives an outstanding rendition of the great Mickey Newbury song. Magnificent.
Saw him twice in concert. Always one of my favorites
Such Talent. Country was in his blood.
YOU CAN HEAR IT.
I've always thought Jerry Lee Lewis did a country song like no body else could .. when he sings a sad song you feel it!
A great vocalist. It did not matter what he sang
Outstanding rendition.
Unlike some of Jerry lee's other live performances of this great song, this one is pretty true to the studio version, and that's a good thing in this instance.
He can definitely sing a country song that will tear your heart out!
The killer, there will never be another singer or musician who can ever come close to him like Hank Williams, they are immortal to country music.
NO ONE COMPARES TO JERRY LEE!! THANKS FOR POSTING.
Born way before his time, one of Country,s best ever singers, i love almost ll his songs, God Bless you Jerry Lee !
What's not to love about this man?!!!
just love him. he's so talented. great singer.
Jerry Lee Lewis was a one of a kind legend 🏆❤️👍
Just listen to that "Sho Bud" steel, anyone who played in or was around the country bands of yesterday knows exactly what I am talking about. Best sounding steel ever, PERIOD!!!
Ned Davis on pedal steel.
100 Proof Jerry is the real King of great music from Memphis Tn
A soulful country song interpreted by a superb artist: Jerry Lee Lewis.
Michael Walker yes
The best!!! Absolutely the best!
Jerry Lee should go in the CM hall of fame. He is one of the greatest ever.
I like Jerry Lee's version on the record of this song. It's truly heart-breaking. The live version is kind of hokey because he fools around.
Demonstrated once again: the genius of Jerry Lee Lewis.
Great performance all the way around, but damn that Sho-Bud steel is kickin' some MAJOR ASS!!! 💜💜💜
I must admit...I've never heard such a wide variety of performances and recordings from an artist who only had 4 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
Don't forget his presence circa 1969--1976 on country radio and C&W charts.
arguably the best country singer ever
First time I heard this song. Great writing.
I’ll take George Jones, but Jerry Lee is close
I've had MANY morings with my mind achin' LOL
I keep coming back for a listen. He handled this material so well - this one is just perfect for me
Твои песни Джерри Ли и любовь к тебе останутся в нашей памяти и в наших сердцах!!! Как жаль, что ты ушёл от нас. Покойся с миром великий Маэстро!!!!
This is fantastic! The songwriter is the great, great Mickey Newbury. To hear Jerry Lee's stamp on this song is a real thrill. Thanks so much!
Mornings come and Lord my mind is achin'
Yes it is
Sunshine standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor
Once again
The whole town will be talking
Yes they will
And Lord I 've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They could never understand Its her sorrow its not a man
No matter what they say we know she tried
Babys packed her soft things and she's left me
She's left me
She's left me
And I know she didn't mean to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord its her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind Why she even woke me up to say goodbye
It's not her heart Lord its her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind why
She even woke me up to say goodbye
Goodbye Baby
je frissonne !!! superbe chanson !
The man sings great country music, with a bit of an edge.
The Killer could really sing country. Wow. He sounded real good when he sang gospel too.
Really beautiful!
Hey 41 Yes. He's thee attitude of rock and the voice of country music.
He was definitely one of a kind legend!!
Here before people say this music doesn't excuse anymore.
This man had some awesome songs. A great singer .
1st person inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame ,Elvis was 2nd but dam he could sing a country song like no other
This song reminds me of my woman Maxine who woke me up to say goodbye she died that day in 2013 I miss her
Here, here, Patrick, Cannot think of another country artist more deserving.
My All-Time favorite singer. His song "Another Place another time" gives me the chills. GREAT musician and voice.
The Best Of The Best by Jerry Lee, Of all the great Country Songs he did this is my favorite
Thanks for uploading
, this man has been blessed truly by God with the talent that He has and the way he can protect the song almost perfect Jerry Lee is truly a blessed man God bless you Jerry Lee

Beautiful heartbreaker
Hits close to home.
Such gentle words for such a devastating act!
King Jerry Lee!!!
greatest country singer ever.
For me too. I'm not much of a Country fan. However, when Jerry Lee sings, it's different. He's unique as far as I'm concerned.
Mickey Newberry
