That was in 1956.

    Well well. Jerry Lee. This mans a trip. Loved him as a really young kid. I was 3 in 1957. My parents loved music and we were exposed to almost every kind . They are responsible for my deep love of almost all music. So thankful my parents were pretty cool. My mom at 92 still loves all music. She's absolutely amazing with all faculties and very little medical issues. Im so blessed. Thanks for this memory from my childhood when music was already influencing me even as a real young child.

    This predates the twist. It's early enough, where some people would still have been dancing the jitterbug and the lindy hop.
    Jerry Lee Lewis and his songs were pretty edgy for the 1950's, so they were almost too scandalous for poodle skirt wearing girls to dance to, so "Whole Lotta Shakin'" and "Great Balls of Fire" were more likely listened to by "bad" girls, when they were originally released.

    That’s called “slapback echo” and was an effect they used on all the vocals at Sun Records. Elvis’ version of “Blue Moon” probably shows it to its most extreme. When Elvis signed to a different label, it wasn’t used as strongly or as often, but it was still used.

    I believe you guys would love the movie, Great Balls of Fire. It's about the life and career of Jerry "Killer" Lee Louis, featuring Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee.
    It shows how he learned to play the style of music he played, which I think you'll love, and his rocketing fame, and the contraversy of his marriage to his 14 year old 2nd cousin, and the downfall after it becomes public.
    And your right about the Elvis style sound to his music. Jerry Lee recorded his albums in the exact same studio as Elvis recorded his in. In Memphis Tenn.
    Which is why Lee choose it to record it there.
    The same promoters who got Elvis famous got Lee famous too.
    Most likely they used the same equipment.

    Jerry was a wild man. His piano was literally set on fire in one performance. He married his first cousin when she was 13 years old! He was in his late 20s. Another first cousin is Jimmy Swaggart. Preacher that sings and plays piano much like Jerry. He had his scandals too. Look him up. Fascinating careers for both of them. Big personalities.

      @@67cuda38 That's easy enough to explain, Elvis was a good, honest, decent young man that had the image of a bad boy, while Jerry Lee was straight up a bad boy from the word go. Elvis didn't drink or smoke, like to goof off and just wanted to make his mama proud and provide for his parents. Jerry Lee was all about the party life, wanted the fame and fortune and all it could bring him and married his 13-year-old cousin, because he was raised in the South, in a time when girls got married at that age, or as he said, "My sister got married at 12." Elvis was the choirboy compared to Jerry Lee's hoodlum.

    There's a reason why they called him "killer" Jerry Lee Lewis was an electric dynamo on the piano. As someone said you got to find footage of him playing live because he used to jump up, dancing, and going WILD on the keys. Even in his old age he could still light a fire.

    Jerry Lee Lewis is alive and well as of today. He suffered a stroke in 2019 that robbed him of his ability to walk and the use of his right hand. After going through months of rehab he booked time in a recording studio but, didn't want a piano in the room. The studio kept one just in case which Lewis sat at and to his surprise he was actually able to use his right hand to play the keys. That information comes courtesy of a Rolling Stone article from February 2020.

He did his own thing & didn't care who liked it or didn't..I could tell you many stories about him..Jerry Lee & Elvis hung out together at Sun Records & Elvis said his biggest influence was Jerry Lee Lewis...& Chuck Berry..he's still never been inducted into the country music hall of Fame either. He's about the only living legend that's not been inducted...his cousin Mickey Gilley could play almost as good & he's got a couple of duets with him that's good!! Thanks so much for playing Jerry Lee Lewis..

    Now think about this….rock and roll was such a new genre, started around 1956. Think about the top hit like this one….the music was just infectious! It made you want to move…to dance….and sing along. The music was so good and so much fun….it could only get better as time went on! Rock and Roll is here to stay! It started as black music performed by white prople. Then Chuck Berry….and Little Richard…made it all okay…everyone could get in on it! Peace, love and brotherhood…paved the way for hippie philosophies and Civil Rights, etc.

    Hi guys. Jerry Lee and Elvis were both big stars of the day. Actually Jerry Lee was a slightly more established star already when Elvis was getting started. There is a stage show called Million Dollar Quartet. It is about one day when Sun Records had 4 of it's biggest stars all showed up at the office at the same time. The label owner told them there was an empty studio and they should jam a little. Those 4 guys were Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. Carl was a big time guitar player and performer who was the original Blue Suede Shoes singer. Also there is a famous country performer named Mickey Gilley and a big televangelist named Jimmy Swaggart. These two and Jerry Lee were accomplished piano players and were actually cousins who took different paths in life.
