Jerry Leeds must be one of the hardest people on Earth to duet with. How do you pick your harmony with a man who never sings a song the same way twice? The only time he looks at her is the discouraging glance at 1.45. There's not much room left for anyone else once the Killer and his ego take the stage!
Mikefule Definitely one of the greatest Country voices. There are lots of good Country singers, very good voices, and so on. However, they tend to be a bit generic. There's nothing generic about JLL's voice which is absolutely unique. Sad, lost sound with an almost wailing Blues touch as he slides and slurs around notes in a way that seems to be spontaneous, and he's living what he's singing about. It all adds up to greater emotional impact than any other Country singer, past or present, can create.
As a 77 year old I am amazed, having followed Jerry from when he first blitzed England how he looked so different as he aged, I saw him live about 15 years ago and he looked at deaths door, I have seen him lately on line and he looks better than he did then, what a guy...
Simon Swain I've just noticed your comment, and aye, you're right. There's a definite resemblance to Danny Kaye on this video although I don't see it on other videos.
They're referring to a picture taken at Sun Records of Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee. They were standing up, and Jerry Lee is the last man standing out of that group.
He made an album called "Last Man Standing". He was in the "Million Dollar Quartet" (a set of informal recordings) with Elvis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. Then after Elvis died, there was a live album featuring the other 3 together called "The Survivors". Now Carl and Johnny have gone, he is "the last man standing" of that group and "The Mean Old Man". But yes, Little Richard is still around, as are one or two others from that era. However, Little Richard was not one of the Sun artists from that legendary formative period of rockabilly and rock and roll.
When you focus on Emmylou you can hear how good she is on this, its the recording set up that was at fault. However for me Jerry did not need her on this, its one of his greatest recordings.
Jerry Lee's voice is dominant on this video. I'm thinking that was done on purpose to satisfy his ego..And that's a shame, because Emmylou has,In my opinion, one of the greatest voices i music, in any genre..... But one had to listen very attentively to hear her.... Too Bad
This video should be titled the devil and an angel duet.... I appreciate his talent but I can't look at him and forget about the murdered wives and horrible temper....
5 will get ya 10 neither wanted to sing together - she has a STAR QUALITY VOICE - Jerry is slap happy - but talented on piano and No way he would WANT to share the spotlight. Sad -
+Beth Bartlett Jerry Lee Lewis is one of the 3 greatest Rock and Roll performers and one of the 3 greatest Country Western performers in history and I imagine Emmy Lou was proud as hell to share a stage with him. She in turn was a beautiful young woman with, as you describe, a star quality voice that JLL surely enjoyed accompanying. So I guess I'm taking your bet. Now all we have to do is contact both of them to settle it!
bryan phillips yes he is considered this and has the R&R talent and Country as well - however - the man does not have the vocal gift, nor music (study/understanding) of Emmylou - and that's more than I wish to say on the subject - I enjoy both of them. If Chet Atkins were still here I would refer the subject to his already recognized understanding. - Just enjoy - I was speaking at/of a separate point. Thanks
Princess Bubblee It is all over everything he has ever done - I no longer try to imagine them w/o their NPD - It is too bad - and that's where it ends. To be bitter, angry, to be sad for the fact, or even try to explain the current descriptions of how - is a large waste of time and energy - it is for a few immune Professionals equipped w the education and true immunity/abilities to handle - No matter what - thwy won't change and even if treated during the ""conduct disorder stage", prior to 18. (That another point that needs reality - they are just younger NPDs and Bullies need to be recognized as Same - just a label of the behavior, tbe disorder is Narcissist Personality Disorder) plain and clearly stated. Now 3000 misunderstanding fans will swoop to rescue his misunderstood reputation and flog me w Comments - those won't change facts either. Yes he has talent - and I enjoy that - but he is still an Overt NPD - DSM Qualified. Peace -
A test of your real musical ability was to be able to hang with Jerry Lee on a song like this. He was so smooth and did it his way. If you couldn't move with him through the song he left you behind. Very few could hand with Jerry Lee. Elvis was pretty good at it. Jerry Reed was good at it, and Waylon Jennings could do it. But Jerry Lee would always be the guy in charge of the beat and delivery. No body delivers a song like Jerry Lee. It's all in the beat, and you either keep up with it, or
Elvis was in another world and league. Jerry was deliberate in his vocals but in no way could he get close to Elvis vocals and style. Let’s keep it real
Crazy Arms was the first Jerry Lee Lewis single - backed by End Of The Road which Jerry wrote - released by Sun Records in 1956. It was also the first Jerry Lee tape heard by Sam Phillips. Although neither song charted, it launched Jerry Lee's career. If you listen to all of his early songs, you'll see how much he influenced the music that followed - both rock and country. When will he get the recognition he deserves?
You can tell from start to finish Jerry Lee Lewis was not having it... This chick was blasted and he played along with his stiff back and precision. And the only time he looked at her was to say, "not mine not mine not mine." I ain't mad at the woman, considering the time. But the star is there, it's Jerry Lee all day long.
@jamcrane3 Who wouldn't ? But for me it's not a sexual thing. I just simply LOVE her and have been blessed to be on earth at the same time as this angel.
Take a listen to Gram Parson do this with the Flying Burrito Brothers, and I think you will see the version Emmylou is hearing in her head, while she sings along. I think she's doing the version she recently did with GP, here. but isn't used to Jerry's version
I think duets aren't Jerry's forte, but you could see he made an effort to make room for Emmy Lou. Good duet!! Still love you, Jerry Lee, after all these years. Peggy
This is really good, I suppose because I absolutely loved every thing Jerry Lee Lewis ever did, and Emmylou Harris knows no peer -- she is the best. But the most amazing harmony on this song was done by the original artists -- Ray Price on Lead, and Roger Miller on harmony. It was amazing. An original copy is very difficult to find. Lord, I loved and love all of these people.
Wow, Jerry Lee in good behavior!!! Two icons here-both the best at what they do...even though opposite personalities! Seen them live individually many times-Jerry Lee when I was 16 years old at the Pagoda Café Montreal.
@@flyerbob124 Ah, we said that about Lemmy then he was suddenly gone before we knew it. :( Jerry Lee is 84 and, in between health problems, still playing. He's outlived most of the early rock n roll generation, and half the ones who followed.
thank you JLL for all your great music & entertainment you've given us. This one of my favorite songs of your many hits. God Bless you JLL & your family 6-23-21
Very nice
Thank you

Two true American giant legends in one stage
WOW....what a duo. Awesome.
Rest in paradise, Killer.
Jerry Lee rocks!
BEAUTIFUL!
Most people remember him for his main 2 or 3 rock n roll hits, but he has one of the great "lived it" country voices.
Mikefule

Yes
Yes, and it’s interesting that his first recording (this song) was country.
So true !!!!!!!
Emmylou is gorgeous and an unmistakable, unique voice .
This is simply fantastic
Has anyone else noticed Jerry's resemblance to Dean Martin on this clip?
The real man and example of true and talented singer and pianist...the best!!! Love you Jerry Lee
As a 77 year old I am amazed, having followed Jerry from when he first blitzed England how he looked so different as he aged, I saw him live about 15 years ago and he looked at deaths door, I have seen him lately on line and he looks better than he did then, what a guy...
Goodgodamighty I'll never find music this beautiful anymore
Truly a beautiful song, thank you for posting this great!!
They make it wery, good! I like the song, too!
Boogie woogie man...thanks so much and Emmy, you're so gorgeous.
Love them :}
Emmylou in Patti Smith mode.
Emmylou 'n' Jerry Lee, grandi, grandi, grandi ! (2019 dec. 11)
A beautiful woman who can sing I love Emmylou
Jerry lee Lewis at his best great piano man I live his version of you win again
Emmylou is the best harmony singer ever
She sings "JUST SOMEBODY I USED KNOW" OUTSTANDING WAY. COLD BEER AND EMMY LOE GOES TOGETHER.
Amen to that. None better👍
Patty Loveless
MAYBE after Alison
Love Emmy Lou and Jerry Lee great thanks 2019 god bless
IMPREiSIONANTE SENCILLAMENTE MARAVILLOSO VIVA THE KILLER🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Just classic!
Happy Birthday Jerry Lee Lewis
(b.Sep.29, 1935).
Muito bom , ótimo ....
I dont care if you like it or not. JLL and ELH together is fan-tastic.
...mooi duo , "ouwe " Jerry Lee Lewis ...
The Killer and Miss Sweet Heart!!
I wonder why Jerry Lee won't do this as a duet with Ray Price? That would be cool.
gram parsons would be proud
The Killer!
Written by Mr. Ralph Mooney, the greatest steel guitarist ever...at least that's what Waylon used to say!
The Killer in his prime !!
What year is this???????????????????????????? unreal!
Is it me or does he look like Danny Kaye? Especially when they film him from the right...
Simon Swain
I've just noticed your comment, and aye, you're right. There's a definite resemblance to Danny Kaye on this video although I don't see it on other videos.
Why wasnt this released as a single in the 1980's?
They said Jerry is the last man standing like lil Richard isn't still around
They're referring to a picture taken at Sun Records of Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee. They were standing up, and Jerry Lee is the last man standing out of that group.
He made an album called "Last Man Standing". He was in the "Million Dollar Quartet" (a set of informal recordings) with Elvis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.

But yes, Little Richard is still around, as are one or two others from that era. However, Little Richard was not one of the Sun artists from that legendary formative period of rockabilly and rock and roll.
Oh yeah Jerry, get well mister and see you in concert
The name is Da Killer, y'all...
'Nuf sed...
That's because....he killed someone.
just brings tear to my eyes
@edko426 It's not perfect, but it's better than anything on Jerry's new album 'Mean Old Man' (at least these are in the same room together!).
V
Ray Price, if you mean singing??
lol....great singing.....but ,jerry's glances at emmy say it all....lol dirty old man..lol just kiddin' great song and singers.
The long-term parade fourthly admit because song largely transport unto a alert soup. meek, precious client
When you focus on Emmylou you can hear how good she is on this, its the recording set up that was at fault. However for me Jerry did not need her on this, its one of his greatest recordings.
He may not have needed her but he wanted her.
Just love to drink a cold beer and listen to the killer sing this son He was the best, but Conway was right there with him.
Jerry Lee's voice is dominant on this video. I'm thinking that was done on purpose to satisfy his ego..And that's a shame, because Emmylou has,In my opinion, one of the greatest voices i music, in any genre..... But one had to listen very attentively to hear her.... Too Bad
More of her wouldn't sound right. I love her too.
A lot of men would become liberals just to get close to EmmyLou
Some songs are not meant to be duets regardless of who tries. Their voices, especially this song and this key, are not compatible.
This video should be titled the devil and an angel duet.... I appreciate his talent but I can't look at him and forget about the murdered wives and horrible temper....

I really love his work - but he is so overtly arrogant - he is a full fledged Narcissist - just like my dad was.
Sad - may he find Peace in time -

What nonsensical babble.
He's a musical genius you idiot. Yeah, he's going to be arrogant. so what. He almost invented RR singlehandedly.

@@CARLWISE2008 Granted, yet EP told George Klein that he considered JLL a genius.
I have a CDwhere Jerry Lee does a great job with this song.

And I was a J L L fan ever since . 78 yrs now rip Killer .
Ele tem o reconhecimento...se chegou até a mim em São Bernardo do Campo...Brasil
Well said 👏
I would recommend get back to Patsy Cline
You can tell from start to finish Jerry Lee Lewis was not having it... This chick was blasted and he played along with his stiff back and precision. And the only time he looked at her was to say, "not mine not mine not mine." I ain't mad at the woman, considering the time. But the star is there, it's Jerry Lee all day long.
When and where was this? I'm guessing early '70s. They don't make country music like that anymore, sad to say.
This is good, I like it, they balance each other. But. Linda Rondstadts is the best.
(C’mon Emmylou, stay in that hole you dug) I don’t get all the bouncing tho…
Rare... Jerry and Emmylou...
I love them both but Emmylou’s harmony is louder than Jerry Lee’s melody. That spoils it for me.
When was it recorded??
Nobody can reach the greatness of this fantastic musicien. Long live to the Killer, from Spain
man, the killer could sing!
rip killer what a show you put on.
RIP Killa
Absolutely. Jerry. Was the. Killer being. 76. Still. Rocking. Robert. V. Evans
@quasarthecat Murdered wives? Come on! You must be getting your news from themags at the grocery checkout.
How come country music doesn't sound like this any more?
No
@jamcrane3 Who wouldn't ? But for me it's not a sexual thing. I just simply LOVE her and have been blessed to be on earth at the same time as this angel.
Inspired duo.
At first glance Jerry Lee reminds me of Dean Martin in this clip.
.....eens iets anders.... prachtig muzikaal duo ....
Funny to see Emmy with curly hair. Even bald she would be still the fairest...
Wow!A straight Jerry Lee Lewis and Emmylou.
Take a listen to Gram Parson do this with the Flying Burrito Brothers, and I think you will see the version Emmylou is hearing in her head, while she sings along. I think she's doing the version she recently did with GP, here. but isn't used to Jerry's version
Emmylou is so HOT in this video. What a doll . And the best female vocalist period.
I think duets aren't Jerry's forte, but you could see he made an effort to make room for Emmy Lou. Good duet!! Still love you, Jerry Lee, after all these years. Peggy
i don't know you don't like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 people don't know how to rock
Yihaaaaaa Jerry Lee Lewis, great with Emmylou
Priceless.
This is really good, I suppose because I absolutely loved every thing Jerry Lee Lewis ever did, and Emmylou Harris knows no peer -- she is the best. But the most amazing harmony on this song was done by the original artists -- Ray Price on Lead, and Roger Miller on harmony. It was amazing. An original copy is very difficult to find.

So much good then, so little now.
there is Emmy Lou just singing like a angel and the Killer owning the stage...awesome video
Wow, Jerry Lee in good behavior!!! Two icons here-both the best at what they do...even though opposite personalities! Seen them live individually many times-Jerry Lee when I was 16 years old at the Pagoda Café Montreal.
Jerry lee is the last musician alive that made records in sun studio 😢THE KILLER ❤️❤️
pieknie
Thanks for posting.
Hard to believe that Jerry Lee's the last man standing.
I’m not surprised. He is one tough son of a bitch and may out live all of us. God bless you Jerry for keeping us entertained all these years.
The killer never stops
@@flyerbob124 Ah, we said that about Lemmy then he was suddenly gone before we knew it. :( Jerry Lee is 84 and, in between health problems, still playing. He's outlived most of the early rock n roll generation, and half the ones who followed.

Two great singers
trop bon
A sound like no other. Jerry could sing with the best of them all and made them feel comfortable
That's Amazing.
