I showed this to my friend years ago while we were watching videos of Jerry Lee Lewis’s TV debut on the Steve Allen Show and playing shows with Keith Richards, Solomon Burke, Tom Jones and more Kings of Rock and Roll than I can list here. He looked at me with a big smile and said “That’s my friend Jacob Tolliver! How did you find this??” What I wouldn’t give to go back to that day and that moment. Everything I know about Rock and Roll I learned from my friend. May he Rest In Peace in God’s perfect grace. Thank you Jerry Lee Lewis and Jacob Tolliver for this very beautiful and special song. And thank you SB.
@Truth Seeker You are correct that Rock & Roll came from the Blues and Boogie Woogie, but you could have done it without the sarcasm, nastiness that you used. The Bible thumping bit, did not do you any good either, this was about music, not God. I really get tired of remarks like yours, that just denigrate people and do nothing else. BTW feel free to denigrate me if you want, as I am 76, and have heard all the ignorance that is available in this world, so anything you would have to say is quite unimportant.
What a talent! Jerry Lee looked so happy and so very proud of this young man.Fabulous! Thank you Jerry Lee Lewis for a lifetime of wonderful music and memories, and thank you Jacob for being so inspired. You are a class act. I
Screw the people who dislike this video they have no talent like Jacob does he is talented and the people who dislike this video are jealous and can’t play like Jacob does!!
I think Jacob had played a piano before he ever walked into the store!!! U R Awesome brother!!!! I would LOVE to come c ya n person!!! I just found my new hero!!!!! Don't never stop what U got going!!!! And Jacob , U just got ur biggest fan bro!!!!! U made my day!! Been feeling down all year. But U just picked me up big time!!!!! U tickle the hell out of those ivories son!!!!!!
No one realizes just how damn hard it is to play like this proficiently… and have that swing…. It’s a true gift… No pens had on this level since since Jerry lee Lewis… but this man has…
This young guy knows how to tickle the ivories! He s a very special player n does Jerry Lee covers with pride what a great young Artist Melbourne Australia
I was thinking that I've never heard a totally convincing Jerry Lee impersonator. AND I think that I know why. Now, anyone who impersonates Elvis - and there are lots of convincing Elvis impersonators - started of - I would guess by being a fan of Elvis's singing and immersing themselves in his music. BUT, I bet nearly every Jerry Lee Lewis impersonator started as a piano player who at some stage heard Jerry Lee and thought," I'll have a go at impersonating him". And, of course, every Jerry Lee Lewis impersonator is expected to be able to play pretty good rock n roll/country piano, and marrying those vocal and instrumental skills is a real challenge. And, of course Elvis impersonators don't even have to play the guitar, and even if they did, it would only involve a few simple chords. Now, with all that in mind, I would guess that if you wanted to hear a great Jerry Lee impersonator, look within the ranks of the Elvis impersonators...but don't expect any great piano playing.
Awesome talent, would love to see Jacob LIVE! Featured on Mel's Video Of The Day! 07/2015 www.coolestone.com/media/12795/Crazy-Piano-Player-Guy-Rocks-Out-in-Hardware-Store/#.VbjqCO9RGUk
Vegas discovered him from RUclips , gave him a bath, scraped the crust outta his eyes and stuffed some money in his mouth. He’s now performing there and lives there.
its like Jerry was recreated into this kid. i half expected him to light the piano on fire after he was done. ive seen a lot of people play Jerry's songs, i dont think ive ever seen this much of his mannerisms or personality in just one person.
Just watched Jerry Lee Lewis's 85th birthday celebration. Had to search out Mr Tolliver's videos 🔥🔥🔥
Likewise. Love em both.
Same here. 😉
me too!
Me too!! I remember watching this years ago and thought how much he sounded like Jerry Lee. So glad to see this come to fruition!!,
Same

Can’t believe I’m just seeing this for the first time! Love it!!! Makes my heart smile and…shake, baby, shake!😂
Damn, that kid can play!! Talent personified.
It is great the younger generation are getting into this . This would make Jerry Lee very proud. Love it.
anthony ali of course, I love ALL of Jerry’s songs, I can play a lot of them on the piano
Jacob is now a close friend of the Lewis family.
He's not dead y'know

If there's one thing Jerry Lee loved, it was the younger generation.
Rock n Roll still lives thanks to you Jacob!
👍👍👍👌
Rock n Roll never dies, man. Rock n Roll will live as long as mankind lives

Store owner: Sir, are you gonna buy this piano? 😂
It's the local hardware store in his hometown of Portsmouth, Ohio.
