What's your favourite Jerry Lee Lewis song?
Big Legged Woman.
None of your business, Dick.
Too many to mention, but lets start with:
Lewis Boogie
Sixty Minute Man
Matchbox
Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On
Boogie Woogie Country Man
In truth, asking to pick one favourite is like asking an astronaut to pick out a favourite star....they ALL shine.
This man remains a total living legend in England. I love the man and his music; the last of the greats
"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On."
For all season love
There is palpable tension and nervous laughter when Jerry Lee is being interviewed. It's like gasoline being interviewed by a match.
RIP Jerry Lee Lewis (September 29, 1935 - October 28, 2022), aged 87
You will be remembered as a legend.
Amen!
It's weird to think that at this point rock and roll had only been around for 16 years.
well, still older than Jerrys first wife
@@Sunburn77 Third!
why?
@@lewisc215 Jerry’s 3rd wife was his 13 year old cousin
@@Sunburn77 ye who cares,all of that was normal at the time(in americas south atleast). Things change ya know
Dick Cavett may be the inventor of awkward pauses.
As a Black man I always loved and respected Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis for shining light on there African American influences at a time when that wasn’t cool!
Too bad Jerry never came to terms with the fact that elvis's soul depth and diversity destroyed him.
He was and still is bitter, jealous and angry that elvis was the top dog.
He'll take that anger to the grave.
@@bradhuskers not really
You’re not a black man. Wtf 🤦🏻♂️😂
Love this comment!
@@bradhuskers Not true. JLL always spoke very highly of Elvis. He loved Elvis. Jerry was the greater artist. No doubt about it.
Cavett seriously blew this interview.
Agree with you. Cavett can be very good sometimes. Other times he can be strangely goading and/or lost.
If you think this is bad watch him with Eddie Murphy
Yes he did! He was very condescending to Jerry. I like Jerry a lot but I wonder if Dick felt some kind of way because of who Jerry married. Idk I could be wrong. It was a different time. Again I love Jerry.
Jerry really doesn't seem like a saint himself. tho I agree, the guy interviewing is a true POS.
Nah, he just made the interview more interesting and unpredictable.
Poetry indeed, and his comments about Chuck Berry and Otis Blackwell were heartfelt. Truly a great musician, the last man standing.
how did i miss him talking about otis? was amazing when he shut down his nervous rambling to school him on the blue yodeler
Berry was a weirdo.
I think we're all a little weird in one way or another, but I think it also goes along with being musically talented and creative. Chuck Berry, like Jerry Lee Lewis, was immensely talented. I was a teenager in the 50's and loved their music! Brings back memories.
@@conniegordon2465
No
We all don't videotape young girls in public restrooms like chuck berry did
Jerry Lee Lewis was such a talented and great man he will be missed by thousands and many more to come in the following days to come some probably missing
Love Jerry Lee Lewis' persona. Has character and never a dull moment. A great entertainer, rock 'n' roller, pianist and a thoroughly interesting man.
Outstanding! The Killer!! What a talent! What an ICON!! One of the best performers/entertainers of ALL TIME! Easily within the top 10 country artists of all time as well. Perhaps even in the top 5!!! Long Live Jerry Lee!!
Country ? Must be mistaken him for someone else. Jerry Lee os/was anything but, a couple try singer. He says it any times in this interview and in his songs. He is a rock n roll star
He’s rock n roll but he also made country music later on
A very good singer but very unpleasant personality, 2 of his wife’s died under very strange circumstances.
It’s really rock n roll with a fusion of country and blues..
I like Jerry but a top 10 country singer he is not..
This interview is beneath Jerry Lee, in my opinion. Dick was just sitting there being sarcastic the entire time. When you have “The Killer” on your show, you show him some respect.
I thought so too. I always liked Dick Cavett, but I was seriously disappointed in seeing him being so smug. I thought Cavett was being a a smug, condescending little weasel. Not trying to be respectful at all. Like he was above showing respect for his guest.
i don’t think dick was being smug i think jerry was being a bit awkward and territorial and so dick countered that with sarcasm to make it less tense
@@jazzx9982 Well said
His interview with The Killer was as bad as the Barbara Wa-wa interview with Dolly Partin.
Rest in peace Jerry Lee Lewis she will be missed by me your biggest fan ever Lenny ostervitz
Tales from the tour bus.. Jerry Lee's stories.. frickin hilarious!!
To say Jerry Lee Lewis is a total badass is a total understatement.... there will never be another Jerry Lee Lewis that is for sure
I love Jerry Lee Lewis. 💋💋💖
He murdered his fifth wife and got away with it. AND most likely he had his 4th wife murdered. Research it. I WAS A HUGE fan of The Killer for decades until reading / learning about these murders recently.
@@ignorecorporatenews Not only that, he also married his cousin. Who was 13.
@@rodbelding9523 what does that have to do with Rock n Roll?
@@ignorecorporatenews enough with these fake conspiracy theories why isn't he in prison then? Bc he didn't do it. Now again, what's this have to do with Rock N Roll?
I grew up in Louisiana and Jerry Lee Lewis definitely fits a generation of my home state. The wildness, the cheesiness, the charm, and the meanness are all there.
❤️🔥
Interesting way of putting it. I live here in LA and have to agree, except for the cheesiness part.
Thank you for posting this interview. Jerry is playful here, yet it all might get ‘dangerous’ after a stray or mis-heard comment.
Interrupting him when he was just starting to say something, "Excuse me"...
1:07 when dick says "pure poetry", the audience laughs as if it was a joke. Rock and roll never got any respect back then. Now audiences would accept that statement as fact, that it is pure poetry.
Depends of what rock.
Definitely more poetic than Rap
@@randalclarke5487 Depends what "Rap" albums/songs you mean. Nas is a lot more poetic and lyrical than anything Jerry Lee Lewis
@@crunkboy we'll agree to disagree here...I find absolutely nothing redeeming about any Rap, whatsoever, yet I completely support your right to I like it 🙂
@@randalclarke5487 Rap is poetry. Listen to any 2pac song like dear mama or starin at the world though my rearview. Pure poetry. Nas also. You guys are just old
This is really cool. I've seen Jerry as a young man and as an old man., but have never seen him when he was this age.
He would have been 35. A mere 35.
RIP Jerry. You were the end of an era
Been waiting to see this for years. Would love to see his musical performances from the show as well. Thanks
Rest in peace Jerry Lee Lewis you will be missed by thousands and many more to come in the following days to come
Rest In Peace Jerry. True Legend Of The Real Rock & Roll! 😎
I had the good fortune of seeing Jerry Lee Lewis in the mid to late 1990s in Washington DC in concert featuring James Burton on guitar at the 930 club. It was one of the best concerts I ever attended. Jerry Lee was in great voice that night and he played blues ...rock ‘n’ roll ..country and sounded great doing all of it. I think the main reason Jerry Lee is still around today outliving Elvis Presley and so many others, is that he kept it real and didn’t let fame go to his head.
Benny Goodman Jerry is good , but he can't hold a candle to Elvis.
@@panteraxenos4789
100% correct.
Jerry lives decades longer and STILL can't reach elvis's level of success.
THAT ALONE tells you how far behind jerry was compared with the king.
That actually works against Jerry.
The fact that he lived decades longer than elvis YET still couldn't reach the level of GREATNESS and success of the king.
That tells you everything
@@bradhuskers I'm a huge Elvis fan and I feel certain he would have traded everything if he knew he was going to wash out at age 42. I think Jerry Lee is more than satisfied with his level of stardom knowing he's outlived Elvis nearly 50 years.
@@musicmatty67
Wrong.
To this very day. Jerry is a bitter and angry POS who never got over the fact that elvis's soul depth and diversity destroyed him.
He will take that hatred to his grave.
Dick really doesn't know how to handle Jerry Lee. I love how Jerry Lee instantly shuts him up when he holds up his finger and says, "Excuse me".
I just saw your comment, I, JUST commented on that myself!!!!!!!
Dick's as afraid the Killer's gonna eat him up every time Jerry opens his mouth.
@Ace Nothing no, I'm sure they are both alpha males. Most men are.
I think Jerry Lee would have told you himself that the only person who could handle him was his mother. Certainly no interviewer could handle him. All Cavett could do was try to get through it without any profanity or bloodshed. I think he was a fan and could have done a good interview if Jerry Lee had cooperated a bit more.
An unapologetic Badass! The last man standing,indeed.
Rest In Rhythm, KILLER! 🔥😈🔥🙏
I love when he just starts to sing. classic.
That was pretty rare - never seen it in my life.
Seem to come from 1972, as Jerry mentioned being "16 years in business" - started 1956.
He was on top with his arrogance and self confidence - very hard to handle, hard to understand and Dick sure asked not the best questions...
Did he sing a song or two?
Recordet on 29.12.1971
Love his confidence.. what a great singer and piano player--It will always be Jerry Lee as number one..
What a treble interview with a great like this
This was 1971. Led Zeppelin debuted in 1969 & Black Sabbath debuted in 1970. i wondered what these 50's -60's Rockers impressions were of them? A new generation with a different mood, perspective & rebellion.
Jerry Lee Lewis later recorded with Jimmy Page and Elvis was a Zeppelin fan. I don't think that Chuck Berry or Little Richard would have been too fond of Zep or Sabbath though.
@@SC-mm9wr I don't think Elvis was a Zeppelin fan. He just hung out with them because they had the same tour manager and Elvis' teenage half-brother Ricky liked them.
Elvis was certainly NOT a zeppelin fan, he hated hard rock actually. He respected the band themselves though, and did meet with them, him being their hero.
@@useyournogos6845 he also hated the beatles.
@@emzid5105 NO, he DID NOT, he didn't agree with a lot of their personal issues/beliefs or whatever, but liked and respected them, sang Yesterday and Hey Jude prominently during his 1969 Vegas shows, thought enough of Hey Jude to include an impromptu type version, included on his 1972 ab, album, Elvis Now, which I personally love, it's sort of like a jam, just, feeling it the way he sang it, good groove, and... its ELVIS, and he did a rocking rehearsal of, Lady Madonna, sang AND once, twice...thrice, played electric guitar along with, Get Back, which he medlied (New word???) with Little Sister, and for his worldwide satellite show, Aloha from Hawaii, he sang, Something!!!!!!!
He really, truly does feel downright dangerous. It’s almost uncomfortable until he grins and then you feel relieved.
For real you can feel that as soon as the clip starts lmao
He always tended to put the pressure on folks and he was tough to interview. Asking him the wrong question could turn him against you.
@Midnight Lightning Radio nah, he just didn't play around
@Midnight Lightning Radio - I don’t know about “deeply evil”. Pol Pot was deeply evil.
He’s still alive. Too mean to die
He has a awesome voice
What a gem. Thanks for sharing this. RIP Jerry Lee Lewis
Seems to me that some of the most entertaining celebrities are eccentric to some extent. Never a dull moment with the great Jerry Lee Lewis and not to mention his hot brand of rock 'n' roll!
Seen the Killer come to the Dartford Theatre in England and he had the whole building ROCKING ! What a Piano Player !
He was such a talented and good man rest in peace Jerry Lee Lewis she will be missed by thousands and millions more to come in the following days
Brilliant, although i think jerry lee was always quite hard to interview, razor sharp wit though. All killer no filler ! One of the greatest artists of our generation without a doubt.
And there’s Hal Holbrook, sitting there like “better you than me, brother.”
One of a kind. What a great performer
Jerry is a Legend !
I've seen Dick Cavett stumble along awkwardly into 'darkest Africa' before; you have to wonder why Cavett's producers thought he could gracefully, successfully manage to conduct an interview [or even save face] in particular encounters - especially those who weren't interested in fencing with and were not amused by...or even able to figure out where Cavett was coming from. Not that Cavett couldn't rise to the occasion in fine fashion with many from worlds/fields of endeavor with which he was more familiar...lovely in many ways, Cavett breathed an air more urbane & cultured - but lacked the maturity & versatility to handle himself in certain arenas.
The first concert I ever went to was Jerry Lee Lewis at the Lyceum in London in 1975 or 4
these 2 still around is amazing
This man knew his music. Period.
Otis Blackwell was for real. the Killer never hesitated to mention a songwriter when he'd do a cover.
Otis wrote a few good songs.
But it was the artists who made them greater.
For every million songwriters, there's just one Ella Fitzgerald.
One frank Sinatra.
One Ray charles.
You need a sense of perspective.
Look at this recording, this wonderful man, the face of rock n roll, Jerry, I love you...
I bout lost it with the " 'Scuse me.. Country Music Radio..." 😂😂😂 What swagger The Killer had.
When did he say that?
Love to see hi mbv perform the songs on this interview
Please post the 3rd and 4th Bobby Fischer interviews. Give the people what they want
Love you!
I heard story of this guy I'm from New Orleans he was a class act and a Real G ..he kept it real his style is of the black culture I been a Jerry Lee fan since a child the best Rick and roll Country singer beside cash I Got nun but respect and I'll forever bump his music I'm 30 and this guy music got me through hard times another place another time ‼️
Dang, I was two weeks old when this originally aired.
About the same age as Gerry's first wife
@@robjj5373 Ouch
@@ianbauer4703 BAM!!!
Rest in peace jerry lee Lewis
What a strange and fantastic man! The best of them all to me
Couldn't have said it better myself.
A man who was extremely bitter and jealous of the king.
Never came to terns with the fact that elvis's soul depth and diversity destroyed him.
It's interesting to see by this point in time -- 1971 -- that Rock n' Roll of the 1950s seems (particulary by the audience's reaction) like some long, lost music that'd been pushed aside and replaced by the Beatles, the Stones, and Jimi Hendrix and all of the music that had come about. And it had only been 16 years.
Great art usually isn't fully appreciated until decades and decades afterwards.
Today, listening to elvis's studio recordings at sun, it's REVELATORY.
TIMELESS
@Paul Gwyn Well, really about 16 years before or, for some, a bit longer. Many feel the origins of rock n' roll begin in the 1940s via black music. However, the form was popularized by the mid 1950s (1954 to 1956) by white music groups like Bill Haley & The Comets, as well as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis.
@Paul Gwyn Yes, that's why I said 16 years. By 1959, the rockabilly edge had given way to The Drifters, Bobby Darin, and Ray Charles; great artists all but quite different from folks like Jerry Lee Lewis and the early rockers.
Reminds me of Cavetts interview with Robert Mitchum. A sense of danger in these two men. Intelligent, funny. They’re to be treated with respect.
Now that you mention it, Jerry Lee and Robert Mitchum look a lot like brothers. They even talk a lot alike in interviews.
That was my grandad
@@shapezula thats sick
Good eye. Thought the same thing myself.
Just a little bit drunk, during that interview! 😂 The king!
Elvis's soul depth and diversity destroys jerry.
Jerry knew that and was extremely bitter and jealous of the king. Never came to terms with it.
this is excellent. Does anyone know where we could see the performance?
Jerry had a fantastic voice with great range and control, along with TONS of musical talent - he could PLAY that piano!!! He was intelligent and a natural born SHOWMAN. He also was a fine looking specimen of a man Jerry, I hope you're with Jesus right now. You made me a FAN, sir!!!
He had the best guests and the most uncomfortable interview technique. Such a shame
Yeah it's always so forced. A horrible smarmy veneer that's supposed to be funny or sophisticated. Waste of good guests
He was one of the greatest people in Rock and roll history rock and roll will never die Trump's party will die
@@nylophone5730 when people praise Cavett I tell you it makes me cringe. I saw him smarmy and this want to be intellectual.
Don’t forget good ol’e Chuck Berry
While many artists are rock pioneers, Chuck Berry is universally considered the first who put it all together: the country guitar licks, the rhythm and blues beat, and lyrics that spoke to a young generation. In just a few songs, he drew a musical blueprint for what the world would soon know as rock & roll.
Chuck had to follow Jerry Lee at the Apollo...poor Chuck
Mmm. Nah. That would be Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
@@nadyarossi5102 What Nadya said.
Rest in peace 🕊️ Jerry Lee Lewis 🌹
PLEASE post the musical performance from this show!
Was wanting the same thing. How do we find it???
The Killer is in prime form....I think Jerry Lee Lewis was the greatest rock and roll performer of all time......I had never seen anyone put on a show better than the Killer.
Agreed!
Little Richard
I ended up here because I was looking up Jerry Lewis but since these Jerry Lee videos have caught my attention I'll just say that I was never really a fan but I do like his Louisiana sounding voice. He just did anything to be in the limelight. Sued his kids, just anything to stay in people's heads.
@@cle-chi
Not even close.
Elvis's soul depth and diversity destroys them.
In fact, they lived decades longer than elvis, YET still failed to reach the level of GREATNESS as the king.
Decades and decades longer.
Proving that they were both one trick pony types.
Jerry was 100% spot on with what he said about Jimmy Rogers being the root influence of Rock, Country and R&B. Amazing no one in the audience, not even the band, knew what Jerry Lee was talkin' about. I love Dick Cavett, but he seemed a little out of his element although his awkwardness was sincere.
If there were ever two personalities that were polar opposites...lol
This interview is brutal
The Killer. i just saw they auctioned off a 59 Harley Davidson that Jerry Lee Lewis owned. Could you imagine pulling up to a red light in 1959 and looking over and seeing the Killer on a Harley?
I was just dying to hear him saying about Chuck Berry contribution to Rock and Roll music 🎶 in general.
But he was extremely bitter and jealous of the king.
Never came to terms with the fact that elvis's soul depth and diversity destroyed him.
Jerry Lee Lewis WAS/IS/WILL ALWAYS BE - Rock 'N Roll and was a truly GREAT Country Music singer
I really wish Jerry Lee had slapped the smirk off of Cavett's face.
Everyone is complaining about how arrogant Jerry Lee is. While they’re not wrong, I think that’s part of his appeal as an artist. He’s gifted and he knows it. If I had his piano skills, I’d probably brag too.
I like JLL. In particular the fact he gives credit where it is due!
But he was always bitter and jealous of the king.
Never came to terns with the fact that elvis's soul depth and diversity destroyed him.
@@bradhuskers I think that he believed that he was more talented than Elvis and Elvis became his great rival. That would never change for JLL. His marriage ruined his career. What probably made him more bitter than anything was that Elvis was no better in that area, but he had someone who could control him, control his image, and keep things quiet. JLL didn't have that luxury. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if they kept their own on stage personas, but switched off stage personalities and support systems (or lack of). What would have come of each of their careers?
and he is still alive
I thought he was done dead. Where's any interviews with Esquerita? He's the real deal.
85 and defying the laws of science. The last of them all, and the greatest.
@@andymassingham
Wrong again.

Legend 🔥
Some of the things I love about America: apple pie, biscuits and gravy, the national parks, old time country music, and Jerry Lee Lewis.
I think Dick Cavett was scared to death of Jerry Lee....Cavett was so nervous he almost couldn't ask a question.
Absolutely love Jerry Lee Lewis the undisputed legend pioneer and true king of rock and roll he has endured all one of the few that's got a 60-65 year career still going the original Energizer Bunny Jerry Lee Lewis!
Jerry was amazing but Elvis was and will always be the king

You're 100% correct with that statement! I'd never thought of that, but they do favor each other a lot with that cleft chin and the mysterious air that surrounds them when they talk. It's like anything can happen at anytime.

Richard Alva Cavett (/ˈkævɪt/; born November 19, 1936) is an American television personality and former talk show host. He appeared regularly on nationally broadcast television in the United States from the 1960s through the 2000s.
87 AÑOS. (88)
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel at all.
Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard went on tour together in the late 90s and I wanted to see them SO bad, but had to miss the show. Huge regret.
When he berated the drummer it reminded me of the time I saw him play in the early 90s. He was drunk, and kept stopping the show to cuz out his band.
LOL Is that right? Tell me about that!
Watch the 1989 concert DVD Jerry Lee Lewis and Friends where he does the same thing on stage. The Killer was unpredictable and often mean as a snake! May the old stud rest in peace...
I love him!! He's a misfits 🎶♥️🙏🙏💖
Wow. Never knew about this. Jerry during his unhinged early 70’s era. Well, that lasted until recently. When he takes a pause, the world gets mighty quiet. Yee-haw. Would love to have heard Me And Bobby McGee from this show.
I think he was a Little drunk 😂
Booze or pills or booze and pills.
High on Jebus.
I think the Cavett show must have had a really generous liquor service for guests in the green room, I've seen other videos of his show where Jimmy Dean was drunk and where John Cassavettes, Ben Gazzara, and Peter Falk were completely plastered.
You bet!
In which case he's not an entertaining drunk.
Doesn't seem to have a sense of humour and takes himself way too seriously.
I didn't warm to him at all.
And I all I know about him is that he married his 13 year old cousin 🤮
Goodness Gracious ___. All Jerry Lee had to do was sing three bars to get a round of applause and standing ovation. Because He Was The Greatest Show On Earth !!!!!

Dick Cavett talked down to almost every guest I ever saw him interview. I never felt like he was in control of his program.
Just a good Oldboy. Just down to earth and did not let fame go too his head.

Repose en paix jerry lee lewis.
¡Dios te bendiga mi querido Jerry Lee! Admiro a Elvis (el rey), adoro a Ricardito y Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Carl Perkins, Joe Turner, los Everly Brothers, Ritchie Valens, los Platters, los Coasters, Brenda Lee, Wanda Jackson, Roy Orbison, Ray Charles y un larguísimo etcétera, pero mi gran ídolo es y siempre serás tú. Descanse en paz el hombre, la leyenda y el genio musical. Viva el legado. ¡Gracias por el concierto en vivo desde el Auditorio Nacional de México en 1991 junto a James Brown! ¡Seguro ya estás en la corte celestial tocando el piano con todos tus amigos y familiares!
Comprendo todo sus palabras! Vaya con Dios!
Cavett is great and always takes conversations to unusual places, but here he doesn't quite realize who Jerry Lee Lewis really is. Not really. He's interviewing an icon and a man who almost singlehandedly elevated rock music to the stratosphere.
The greatest singer that ever lived!
Heh, heh, heh ...you had him on your show ...cooolll
Rest in peace!
