Here I am again listening to the Killer. I remember him saying: "I am the greatest rock n' roll, blues and country singer in the world". At the time I thought he was being an arrogant SOB. But years later..I can see that he was just plain right. He is the best. :)
Yep!! Me too, in my younger years I was a 'Purist' (AKA SNOB) regarding my music. It wasn't until many years later that I listened to him properly, and realised his musical Gift. He was a singer/ interpreter without peer for his type of music. He is up there now among my top dozen or so favourites. Vale! JLL
i grew up with my dad playing classic country when i was young.i hade it took till i got 40 to enjoy it .now all i have is youtube.i cant get enough of the killers music !! there will never b another like him.
I cannot begin to express how much talent is within his hands. By far the best piano playing that I have ever seen. The way he plays in the pocket but somehow can accent every note is incredible.
My husband and I have been a fan of Jerry Lee Lewis since our first date in 1957! We are going to see him in Biloxi, MS I would love to meet him! Best regards, George and Maye Peacock of Winston Salem, NC
Jerry Lee Lewis could play anything several different ways. Elvis, Elton, The Rolling stones and the Beatles were in awe of him. He sang with true emotion and believed what he sang. He wasn't the first inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for nothing. There is only one Jerry Lee Lewis.
++pianoglider R He should have the same honour in the Country field but that was denied him, and he's now past meeting the criteria although in his day he certainly topped them easily. However, being the wild man he was, and probably still in bad odour because of his marriage to his young cousin, he was never awarded it - one of the greatest of all Country singers who also had a stack of hits. For me the very greatest Country singer bar none.
@@gynack Agreed Trevor, he was truly "One of a Kind" and never will be, never could be, another like him. I have a memory of a clip from one of his live performances where he replied to an inaudible comment from the audience; "You never know Darlin, I Just might". Sums his persona up perfectly.
it's really really difficult to sing a song differently each time you play it, even if only because of how often you'll just fall back on the way you know works. i've never heard him sing a song the same way twice, with all the same phrasing. it's really amazing.
People are figuring it out. Jerry Lee Lewis is the greatest vocal and piano act of all time. They haven't built a Hall of Fame big enough to hold his talent.
I joined the local Assembly Of God church after seeing the Killer in person in the early '60's. He is anointed. As he performed Became filled with what I now now to be he holy Spirit & I been rockin' ever since.
Country Music Hall of Fame has NOTHING to do with talent - only depends on money and politics. Look at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of fame - guess, Michael Jackson is in it and he ain't nothing to do deal with that...
I listen to all genres of music and although a lot of people don't recognize Jerry as a Country singer find that his selection of songs are greater than any other singers in the field
Jerry Lee's great no doubt about it, but better than Elvis , I call bull hell on that. Elvis was the King , I don't want to take anything away from either one. Just my opinion but mine's the one that counts to me
Yeah, I read it on here all the time, everyone was better than Elvis. The fact that it is always Elvis they have to compare their favourites against says it all. As for the comment as to Elvis being a product of the South … the remarkable thing about Elvis is that a lot of his music is entirely without implication of time and place (think all the European ballads and much more besides). You can actually place Jerry Lee very easily in his context. The truth is that all comparisons are invidious. I’ve been lucky enough to see Jerry Lee and he was magnificent. Anyone who is really into the music just appreciates what each great artist brings to the table and leaves comparatives in the playground - everyone’s dad is always bigger than everyone else’s dad.
One of the greatest country singers of all time, after such an amazing rock and roll career, an outstanding singer and without a doubt the best piano player of all time! Go Jerry Lee forever......
Being raised in the 70's Jerry was a country singer. Most people that listened to Memphis based rock went country sooner or later. Lewis & Presley were a progression of country. Remember the weekly show "Pop goes the country"?
Exactly fifty years ago today on March 22nd 1970 "Once More With Feeling"* by Jerry Lee Lewis peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, for the two weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "Fightin' Side of Me" by Merle Haggard... Between 1957 and 1989 the Ferriday, Louisiana native had sixty three records on the Hot Country Singles chart, twenty eight made the Top 10 with six reaching #1... Four of his sixty three charted records were duets, two with his sister, Linda Gail Lewis, and one each with Ronnie McDowell and Dorothee... Jerry Lee Lewis will celebrate his 85th birthday in six months on September 29th, 2020... * "Once More with Feeling" was Jerry Lee's fifth of five of his records to peak at #2 on the Hot Country Singles chart... And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the remainder of the Hot Country Singles' Top 10 on March 22nd, 1970: At #3. "Tennessee Birdwalk" by Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan #4. "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" by Marty Robbins #5. "Is Anybody Goin' To San Antone?" by Charley Pride #6. "Occasional Wife" by Faron Young #7. "I'll See Him Through" by Tammy Wynette #8. "Country Girl" by Jeannie C. Riley #9. "If I Were A Carpenter" by Johnny Cash & June Carter #10. "All I Have To Do Is Dream" by Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell

Not only was he damn right, he was being modest, or he would have exaggerated...😀
@@donaldpharoah549 no exaggeration
Yes indeed. THE BEST

He is up there now among my top dozen or so favourites.
Vale! JLL
@@Bozwell42 Better late than never to recognize the best entertainer of all time imo.
He could sing any song and make you feel it i He may have been one of the greatest ever.
Jerry Lee is the single greatest musical genius God has given America. Anyone who disagrees hasn’t spent enough time listening.
He should have been in the Country Music Hall of Fame a LONG LONG time ago!
Nobody, even Hank, can sing coutry ballads like the killer....
My favorite..since I was a kid..
Loving him today…77years old !
Thankfully he is now, 30 year old here keeping the killer alive and well :)
Listing this tonight on the eve of The Killer's passing! What a legend!
i grew up with my dad playing classic country when i was young.i hade it took till i got 40 to enjoy it .now all i have is youtube.i cant get enough of the killers music !! there will never b another like him.
They should be ashamed for not inducting him into the Country Music Hall of Fame, he deserves it, do it while he is still here
The Man....
The killer you'll be played at my funeral the whole way and everyone will light 420 style. Best artist forever can't change my mind.
I 100% agree. It's a travesty, the man has more talent than the whole lot of them combined.
The "Killer" Jerry Lee is and always will be one of the GREATEST - Country and R+R
singers of all time
First met him when I was 12 yrs. old,,,and still lovin everything he touches..what a pure unadulterated, self taught talent...
I cannot begin to express how much talent is within his hands. By far the best piano playing that I have ever seen. The way he plays in the pocket but somehow can accent every note is incredible.
There will never be another one like him he was simply the best in my opinion ❤.
never get tired of this amazing voice & the greatest piano player, Love you Jerry Lee God Bless you 6-7-19
Greatest entertainer of all time!!!! Should have been rewarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom!! Lesser musicians (weren't they all??) received it!!
My husband and I have been a fan of Jerry Lee Lewis since our first date in 1957! We are going to see him in Biloxi, MS I would love to meet him! Best regards, George and Maye Peacock of Winston Salem, NC
Jerry Lee is a GENIUS. He has "Country Soul" that no one will ever top !!! More people should acknowledge this !
Merle haggard concerfs
O don't think he EVER made a bad song. All are so good. Makes me 😢 when hear them. Sooo good.
@@glendabaker4924 I know exactly what you mean !!!
THIS MAN IS INCREDIBLE... WHAT a voice, what a style.......
Incredibly handsome as a young man too.
Jerry Lee Lewis could play anything several different ways. Elvis, Elton, The Rolling stones and the Beatles were in awe of him.
He sang with true emotion and believed what he sang. He wasn't the first inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for nothing. There is only one Jerry Lee Lewis.

His feeling with his instrument,voice and songs is incredible!!! A true treasure of music!! A musical genius
Love listening to him !
Saw Jerry in concert in 72 what a talent
People are figuring it out. Jerry Lee Lewis is the greatest vocal and piano act of all time. They haven't built a Hall of Fame big enough to hold his talent.
So true ,especially his country music .
Especially not the country hall of fame
Its incredible to watch him sing AND play piano at the same time. He doesnt even need to look.
Love all his songs !!
The best !
ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME GOES SOOOOOOOO DEEP AND KILLER BROUGHT IT THERE!!!
Jerry Lee is amazing... A genius
I joined the local Assembly Of God church after seeing the Killer in person in the early '60's. He is anointed. As he performed Became filled with what I now now to be he holy Spirit & I been rockin' ever since.
My dad loved the killer and I listened as a young girl, danced to his music and love it too! ❤ He puts so much heart into his songs.
He was fantastic. He definitely belongs in the country music HOF.
Jerry is was and still is the killer.......if i could play piano and sing like anyone in the world it would be him...hands down
Could listen to him for hours - and I do
Total mastery.
So great RIP Jerry Lee ❤
this man is absolutely incredible
Never to be replaced . UNIQUE UNIQUE UNIQUE. What country in this dear world has produced such a legend. Staggering !!!
#1 always
With his stellar career, why is he not in the Country Hall of Fame?
I mean "Country Music Hall of Fame"
he is too country!
It's BS
HERE HERE !!
Country Music Hall of Fame has NOTHING to do with talent - only depends on money and politics. Look at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of fame - guess, Michael Jackson is in it and he ain't nothing to do deal with that...
Great singer both country and rock he had it all
I love ol' Jerry Lee!! He is true to himself and what he is. I commend and respect him for that.
Oh,
They'll never be another like Jerry Lee
I listen to all genres of music and although a lot of people don't recognize Jerry as a Country singer find that his selection of songs are greater than any other singers in the field
My Favorite from JerryLee-❤❤❤
boy do these old songs bring back memories, he's still great,
Hello Charlotte
Jerry Lee had Elvis beat by a long shot. I love to listen to this man sing. He's one of the best!! Sings with feeling.
Jerry Lee is great and so is Elvis!!! Quit trying to say one is better than the other.
Jerry Lee's great no doubt about it, but better than Elvis , I call bull hell on that. Elvis was the King , I don't want to take anything away from either one. Just my opinion but mine's the one that counts to me
if elvis hadn't emerged from the south someone like him would have. the killer is one of a kind.
Yeah, I read it on here all the time, everyone was better than Elvis. The fact that it is always Elvis they have to compare their favourites against says it all.

Not right to compare like that.both were great in their own way.
Super! Nothing like Jerry Lee's music!
Rock, Blues, Country.... JLL is and will remain the best!!
When Jerry Lee Lewis Passes Away He Will Have A Lot Of People Going Too His Funeral, Man What An Entertainer.
he's a genius !
awesome song and singer! He can really make that piano howl!
One of the greatest country singers of all time, after such an amazing rock and roll career, an outstanding singer and without a doubt the best piano player of all time! Go Jerry Lee forever......
No one can do it better!
OH. Yes he is the KING, still standing.? *****
ik ben al 60 jaar fan van Jerry en luister nog altijd graag naar hem
AWSOME you do not hear music like this any more.
Being raised in the 70's Jerry was a country singer. Most people that listened to Memphis based rock went country sooner or later. Lewis & Presley were a progression of country. Remember the weekly show "Pop goes the country"?
