- 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

Wild man’s head banging in the 50’s
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.

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
"This man doesn't play rock'n'roll. He is rock'n'roll."

Back when speed was pure
Said Eddie Cochrane. He was my favorite. Then Jerry Lee, and I'm just a couple of years below 60, but this IS rock and roll.
I was 19 in 1957 and I can assure you we loved it.
The single most profound performance of all time !!! He propelled Rock & Roll with this song ! Love you Killer !!!!!!!!!!!
RIP to one of the founding members of Rock N Roll. One of the three kings of rock!
Yes. here to pay homage
Amen. Respect.
Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard…all untouchable! RIP!
Jerry didn’t pioneer shit, black pioneered rock and roll. GTFOH you can lie to the young ones. But old heads know this criminal well.😢
@@wespaul9345 To a pedophile ? Damm standards have changed.😮I guess it ok because he’s white
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!
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
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
@@stu1844 lol
Even in 2022, this is one of the most exciting performance in rock.
WOW!! 1957, and LIVE! - This tears me apart! I am 80.
I lived in these times believe me it was unbelievable, our parents thought we we were mad, I’m still the same rock n roll will never die
Now u know why he was nicknamed the killer the way he played that piano 🔥 ELECTRICFYING PERFORMANCE!
This happened 60... 60! years ago. Can you picture someone on TV dancing and screaming like that at that time? What a moment to be alive
Definitely! Wow!
I can tell you one thing. I remember all the reaction! Mom & Dad of the time were absolutely agasp! Preachers were giving sermons about the Evils! Us youngans were flipping!
@@karlwelin7932 amazing… thank you Karl for sharing!
@@juanpablocordoba4187 - You are welcome! Perhaps it was the youth in us but, it was an amazing era. There were changes in everything every month.
Yeah, still a classic now.
"One of those songs that goes by too fast" 60 years later people still listening.
Jerry Lee Lewis was ten years older than me. I was twelve in 1957 when this film was made. ALL music was more insane back then. Insane as in Fabulously Insane. The artists had no fancy acoustics or today's technology. Their raw talent, along with their instruments (in this case the piano) were the forces behind their success. I didn't see Lewis in concert but I did see Elvis, James Brown, Luther Vandross, Keith Sweat, Sonny & Cher, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Ray Charles, Earth Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, Tracy Chapman, Tina Turner, Lionell Richie, Baby Face, Boyz ll Men, Willie Nelson, Whitney Houston, Michael Bublé and maybe a few more I've forgotten. I had tickets/great seats to see Michael Jackson in Seattle in the 70s but he cancelled his concert. My only regret is not seeing Prince and Queen/Freddy Mercury. I wish all you young-uns could have experienced the era, beginning in the 1950s, I was blessed to experience. There will never be another like it. That music will live on into infinity. I encourage y'all to go back, listen to the magnificence of the music I grew up with. Oh JoY
You're right... And let me tell you that you are very, very lucky to can be there, in all that concerts..... Do you travel out of the country, sometime to see someone?
That's...a lot of concerts. What a ton of incredible experiences😲
You have to be a ton of fun!
He was fancy with the young ones, unfortunately.
@@mistrotech8894 About 20...so not really
RIP the Killer... a True original
RIP Jerry, love him or hate him, he changed the world. Can't imagine what the authorities during McCarthyism were thinking when they saw this performance. 😆😆
Jerry Lee Lewis at 22 years old is something special. Young raw rock 'n' roll. What a performance!!!
I absolutely agree! Raw talent too!
He walked into Sun Studios one day at 21 years old, and was signed right away, and was up and running.
AGREED‼️
and what a pervert
damn, my age
amazing now. just imagine how it must have been perceived in 1957.
By most parents not to well but we loved it
The world is more prudish now than it was then.
@@TheFatController. care you might offend someone. Micro aggressions =violence nowadays. Lol
More prudish more uptight more fun police more stupid, lazy, talentless, everybody gets a trophy, heads way up their entitled insecure prudish wastoids.....OK. I feel better now. Still not too excited bout the future though. It's a new decade round the bend so who knows? Good music, prolly not. PC fun police getting their just desserts and the rest of the world moving forward without them. We can only hope. Safe space my fist
Back then even Elvis was controversial......

This is a man that had it in every ounce of his body. He plays damn near four bars of the wrong notes, and nobody gave a shit.
🎹MI MAX INFLUENCIA EN EL ROCK AND ROLL COUNTRY🎹
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

its strange to think that if he did the things he did and lived the life he lived now he would have ended his days canceled and in prison... are we more free today than in 1957?
Yawn. Another tired "good old days when we could..." comment.
As a black man in the south, yes I'm more free than I would have been in 1957. Some things deserve to be "cancelled."
@@pbase36 yawn. the Democratic party enslaving black people since 1828.

I mean, he was cancelled though. Being cancelled isn't new.

The world has lost a legend - rest in peace Killer
I remember being shocked at how long his hair was for the 1950s. You grow those strawberry-blonde curly locks of his to shoulder length---he's Robert Plant behind a piano!
RIP Mr. Lewis, rock and roll will never die!
Last in that pantheon of great original rock 'n' rollers gone now,sadly. RIP.
greatest hair action on youtube, thanks for all you amazing music Jerry Lee,
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…?
RIP to Jerry Lee - a true American original!
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.
Elvis and Jerry are lightening. Bringing energy from another planet.
I almost die every time I see his hair start to fall apart at 1:25, & when he goes “we ain’t fakin-uhh” & opens his mouth like 17 miles wide, lol.
But this sure is a classic. 50s-70s was such a highly concentrated period of phenomenal music. The Doors, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Boston, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, great do-wop vocal groups, etc
i appreciate the acknowledgement that if it were not for the Black gospel and boogie woogie musicians and singers that Lewis was exposed to as a child, he would have not known about the music that he mimicked and catapulted him to fame. He and Chuck Berry had a longtime disagreement about which of them was the King of Rock and Roll.
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
Last living man from the inaugural rock hall class
Jerry Lee Lewis was a ground breaking artist, original and unique and his energy is off the scale.
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 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..?
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.

The first real punk rocker for real ! RIP
Just heard about Jerry Lee's passing a short while ago. And I thought that he was going to be around for a while. He was the last living legend-and we had already lost his famous cousin Mickey Gilley this past summer. May they both rest in perfect peace and surely they be rocking and rolling up in the Heavens Above.
America's first punk rocker. The world's first actually. At 80 plus he still is a punk rocker.
@@should_kno8617 big time bullsh*t boy.he married his cousin which was very common on louisana and he was married before he got 18 years old to a 14 year old girl.incest is a relationship between father-daughter or mother-son.get your facts straight or go to church,ignorant.we listen rock n roll here,not preachers
@nellek970 big time BS
@nellek970 everybody knows who came first,up to this point there's no need to discuss that.if jerry lee is watered down,then what about pat boone?come on...
@nellek970 if he said so...then what is the fuss about?you think i don't know all that already??have a blunt to see if you can relax a bit
@nellek970 i know all that as You do,just calm down!!you want to just argue forever?im into this music since a was a kid.but to say that about jerry lee is plain silly
I don't know what it is but these pioneers of rock-n-roll make me damned proud to be an American.
RIP Killer....Jerry Lee's up there with Johnny, June ,Carl & Elvis
Jerry Lee be having a whole lot of shaking going on don't he. You go brother you go!
RIP wild one! This world lost a legend and is now a sadder place to be in.
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

@Stefan Urban lol
@@Milker-dt4dt What? I thought she was my second cousin!!
Jerry is one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Rest in Peace. Thank you sir!
He's amazing! He made the piano do anything he wanted it to. A virtuoso for sure. He made pianos rock like most rock n roll performers rock a guitar.
There's a clip of him in'64 playing with his foot and he still makes music!
@@vernpascal1531 Yes indeed. Amazing!
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.
All killer , no filler. King kerosine 🔥
Jerry lee liked her young and with family consent
It's still young
But that guy was way ahead of his time,,, great
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
Wow. The last truly rock and roller has now gone. We've pretty much lost them all and moved on into another era. Unfortunately, the music we have today will never compare to what has been previously. Unless, music turns creative again, we may never see it back enough to really enjoy current times with a great background music to go with our lives.
Rest in peace Jerry and thanks for all the great songs.
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.
R.I.P. Killer. The end of an era.
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.
As if I need something to remind me just how old I am, I can remember watching this performance on the Steve Allen Show. I was a freshman in high school.
What was your first initial impression and how did you or the others around you react. Rock and roll just feels good, babies who are just a few months old dance and wiggle to the beat, but witnessing this as it happened was it like "woah this is different and .... I love it"?
Consider yourself blessed, in the aspect of having been there at that time. Know that children are reaching back and searching these things. They're finding history in their way, much like you (and I ) did in a library. Multiple millions of kids, generations on, will wish they could have been there.
Just learnt about the sad death of this man! RIP one of the greatest pianists of all time!
Nobody was ready for Jerry Lee Lewis at this time
Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis Pressley had all quit the music business in the 60s. Jerry Lee Lewis single handedly kept rock n roll going by never quiting and rocking out night after night and playing the original rock n roll songs of his fellow peers who were out of the music game at the time. Never forget that. Jerry Lee never quit on rock n roll.
Those early Sun years are unrivaled. So many amazing recordings.
Have you seen a production of "Million Dollar Quartet"? It plays fast and loose with the timeline of Sun records for the sake of condensing everything and creating drama, but it is a fascinating look at just how much firepower they had. Plus it made me realize Jerry Lee Lewis almost certainly had ADHD.
Outstanding….Jerry did for Music what Steve Allen did for TV.
That hair cut still works in 2018 haha

I have this Haircut, but not the talent.
Just as well as it ever did

MAY you rest in peace 🕊️🕊️MR JERRY LEE LEWIS 😥😥😥
Yep, he was an alcoholic who married his 13 year old cousin/2nd cousin....acknowledged. His music is EPIC.
Rest in peace - the one and only engineer of rock piano. I loved your music since I was 6y old ❤️🔥😢🌹
rest in peace Jerry Lee....the definition of a rock star
"He pounded the piano, belted out the lyrics, and threw the piano bench across the stage. To the audience’s delight, Allen picked up the bench and threw it back to Lewis." omg
lmao
It IS possible to like show tunes AND rock n roll, you know.
@Toady Montana in 1956, CBS was taking NBC to the woodshed in the Sunday Night ratings, thanks to the Longtime Broadway columnist Ed Sullivan. They moved Steve Allen to primetime to compete with Ed to get high ratings.

And now try to imagine the impact that this had on post-war‘s European kids, especially in post Nazi Germany.A totally new feel!Rock‘n Roll was literally the sound of freedom..And when the Wall finally came down the desperate youth in the East of Germany (and probably all over the former communist countries) had their soundtrack which was Techno.Completely different music but it meant the same to them!

One of the best rock and roll performances ever. Dangerous, volatile... and wee bit crazy.
This guy could very well be the best Rock'n'Roll pioneer performer. 🎶🎹🎤
He was undoubtedly the one who always played last when touring with Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Chuck Berry or any of the early rock greats, cuz he wrecked the joint, and really did set the piano on fire to prove it once. ;- )
Lewis is the original wild man, all others are a long way behind.
easy now
