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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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 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.
Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis were two very different people with alot in common, both were incredibly talented, both were incredibly charismatic, both were known for over the top energy and stage performance, both were controversial and authentic, both were amazing piano players, both had iconic style, and both were legends in their own time.
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
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.
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......

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...

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
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"?
Jerry Lee Lewis was always himself, no matter what. Even though they were superb musicians, he didn't need any of those guys in yellow shirts to help him get those songs across. He could have done it all by himself, because he was Jerry Lee.
Jerry Lee you handsome ,you are the best,you should model your beautiful HAIR!!!!!when those hands on that Piano sounds like 12 hands on those ivory's Jerry you the Greatest 💒Shirley from Dallas,Texas
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. :)
Not only was he damn right, he was being modest, or he would have exaggerated...😀
@@donaldpharoah549 no exaggeration
Yes indeed. THE BEST
Yep!! Me too, in my younger years I was a 'Purist' (AKA SNOB) regarding my music.

He was a singer/ interpreter without peer for his type of music.

Vale! JLL
@@Bozwell42 Better late than never to recognize the best entertainer of all time imo.
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 :)
Damn good looking hunk of a man, look at his beautiful natural wavy hair. Yum Yum lol
Jerry Lee is the single greatest musical genius God has given America. Anyone who disagrees hasn’t spent enough time listening.
I 100% agree. It's a travesty, the man has more talent than the whole lot of them combined.
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.

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 !!!
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
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...
The "Killer" Jerry Lee is and always will be one of the GREATEST - Country and R+R
singers of all time
He could sing any song and make you feel it i He may have been one of the greatest ever.
Listing this tonight on the eve of The Killer's passing! What a legend!
The Man....
I LISTEN TO EVERYDAYŸ❤ I LOVE HIS MUSIC EVERYDAY 😂😂 4:41
First met him when I was 12 yrs. old,,,and still lovin everything he touches..what a pure unadulterated, self taught talent...
Mid-december 2024 and still listening.😊
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.
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.

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.
Not right to compare like that.both were great in their own way.
THIS MAN IS INCREDIBLE... WHAT a voice, what a style.......
Incredibly handsome as a young man too.
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
never get tired of this amazing voice & the greatest piano player, Love you Jerry Lee God Bless you 6-7-19
His feeling with his instrument,voice and songs is incredible!!! A true treasure of music!! A musical genius
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 ❤.
#1 always
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
Greatest entertainer of all time!!!! Should have been rewarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom!! Lesser musicians (weren't they all??) received it!!

Its incredible to watch him sing AND play piano at the same time. He doesnt even need to look.
GREAT SINGER AND ALWAYS HAD FABULOUS SHOWS .... HIGH ENERGY SHOWS
All other entertainers may as well give up! Jerry lee is the supreme
a live tv show hosted by Jerry Lee Lewis, that must of given the FCC a heart attack
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
Love all his songs !!
The best !
he's a genius !
Love listening to him !
So great RIP Jerry Lee ❤
Gigantic talent.
My Favorite from JerryLee-❤❤❤
I keep coming back to this site,don't drink good thing,lol
as his music is perfect for drinking to
Jerry got soul
Thank you for this! Man can he belt out a tune!!
His personal life had nothing to do with his talent and God given gift of music.
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"?
Hello... These were being done for the "Jerry LEE Lewis Show"
Another Place, Another Time.
Super Talent great Song Thanks
Funny, Razor, but when I'm pouring a drink I always think of listening to Killer.
He was the best.
The one and only!
❤ JERRY LEE LEWIS ❤
Great singer
When Jerry Lee Lewis Passes Away He Will Have A Lot Of People Going Too His Funeral, Man What An Entertainer.
In my opinion the killer is the best piano player that ever lived, and no one else will ever come close to him
Try James Booker on Pop's Dilemma ua-cam.com/video/yVkYEzeGjvQ/v-deo.html
Super! Nothing like Jerry Lee's music!

Jerry Lee Lewis was always himself, no matter what. Even though they were superb musicians, he didn't need any of those guys in yellow shirts to help him get those songs across. He could have done it all by himself, because he was Jerry Lee.
