You are the only person on here who has reacted to Jerry Lee Lewis. I have been asking everyone for years to react to him and you are the only one. Thank you.
You’re right about “the Killer.” He’s a crazy hillbilly. Although it hasn’t been captured on film there have been witnessed stories about him setting the piano on fire and then pushing it out into the audience. And of the four only true rock and roll performers, Chuck Berry, Elvis, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis, he’s the only one still alive and for the life he’s lived that makes absolutely no sense. He truly is the last man standing. There definitely is a God and you’ve got to appreciate his sense of humor. And you gotta love yourself some Jerry Lee, the Killer.
I saw him live at a small venue and got to stand right next to his piano back in the 80s. I would describe the piano as SCREAMING. It sounded great and I never heard anyone else make a piano sound like that.
Not entirely true, Dion DiMucci is considered a rock pioneer -- still recording & performing and he was from the 50s. He's 82. Followed by Chubby Checker who still holds chart records started in 1958 is still recording & performing at 79. Now, Bobby Rydell, at 79, may not be considered a pioneer, but he started in 1958 & sold millions of records. He's a survivor. He is still performing to this day to sold-out audiences. By the way, these performers are in better health today than poor Jerry Lee who gets around real slow (at 86). He suffered a stroke in 2019.
@@lastrada52 Jerry Lee Lewis was part of Million Dollar Quartet whom signed with famous Sun Records. He might not a true pioneer of Rock, but he is one of few surviving members of the early days of Rock N Roll.

Well... Jerry once said : "Sure. Richard knows how to smash a piana. But Fats Domino? THAT'S a piana playing motherhumper!!!" ... Meaning he preferred Fats' style of playing.
I was 7 in 1957. I remember jumping up and down to the music, it was so exciting. We didn't have a TV yet, but our neighbours did, and we all gathered round to watch Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show. It was an 'event', and our Moms loved Elvis. Jerry Lee was one wild guy.
Can you imagine parents in 1957 seeing this on their tv screens. They would have thought it’s the end of civilization. There are better live versions too.
The camera did not get a good shot of it, but Lewis was famous for the maneuver where he quickly stands up as the song speeds up and the back of his legs crash into his chair/bench and the chair goes flying. This shot shows him standing up and then the chair gone, but you cannot see it go flying.
If you want to see what a great actor Dennis Quaid is, see him play Jerry Lee Lewis in the movie "Great Balls of Fire!" Quaid absolutely nailed it, hair flopping and all.
Amazing performance from Dennis Quaid!! He really brought Jerry Lee's character fire!! Jerry Lee Lewis was one of the most energetic piano players ever!!maybe Little Richard can be considered to be at Jerry's level. They both brought the fire and tore up the ivory!!😃😃😃great reaction!!✌
Oh harri!!! Now Chantilly Lace!!! one of my favorites!!! This is the beginning of Rock and Roll Shaky it Baby!!!! Yeah i remember in the 60's with JLL, Shocking at that time!!! But the Kids loved it!!!!
Lol, Harri your face through the whole thing is priceless! :-D Jerry Lee was fire! "The Killer" a wild man from Louisiana! Also, not many people notice this, but look closely at the bottom of the screen at about 3:52, you can see that somebody threw that Piano bench back across the stage after he had stood up and kicked the bench back away from him. Wild and crazy stuff for back in that day in 1957!
Rep, the host of the show Steve Allen threw the chair back across the stage. He said when Jerry kicked it out back it stoped right in front of Steve and he didn’t know what to do. So he just threw it back across the stage. Rock n roll history right here.
He was one of the million dollar quartet along with Elvis Johnny cash and Carl perkins...and not forgetting Roy orbison they all originated from Sun studios in Memphis in 50's....legends all of them
What may really blow your mind is that he is cousins with infamous evangelist Jimmy Swaggart. He is also cousins with famous country star Mickey Gilley. And he married another cousin who was only 13 at the time.
Blow your mind some more - both Jimmy and Jerry Lee have a very similar style of piano pllaying- although they utilized their skills differently for different audiences- they were both taught piano by the same person. Jimmy did not like when someone noticed and likened his piano playing to Jerry Lee's. .... as told to me by another piano player from the same era.
@@rebeccafoust7145 Thanks Rebecca, that was interesting. There were definitely some characters from that area back then. Probably still do. I had some relatives from Sicily Island which is about 20 miles from Ferriday where Jerry Lee is from. And I have a bunch of relatives about 20 to 30 miles north of there where my father was born. They were all hell raisers.
Rock and roll! This is the stuff started it all and that inspired all the Brits like the Beatles. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, et al.
My Dad who just passed this year ( age 80) met Jerry L in '59 in a small venue in California while stationed in Navy , he and his buddy's helped move his piano on stage..and my Dad said he stole his cigarettes that were on his piano. Also Brenda Lee played that night as well as Johnny Cash. My Dad loved 🎵🎶 music..Jerry L. lewis..one of the great performers!!
Thank you!!! LoL I was tripping when my Dad told us just a few yrs before he died , I never knew ..He met Johnny Cash too before JC was really famous , at a gas station buying liquor. Lol
I saw Jerry Lee Lewis Jr. in Little Rock Ar. at Cajuns Warf play. WoW. I was amazed at how he could play that piano. I don’t know if he was as good as his Dad but man he could play. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful song with us all. 😎
For the longest time I was confused by my mother's dancing, a weird little hands on her hips thing. Imagine my surprise when I saw Jerry Lee Lewis dancing next to his piano in a live performance, which was exactly like my mother's dancing. Oh! Also, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis are distantly related, like third cousins five times removed, something like that.
He was called Killer because nobody wanted to follow him, because the audience was slain. Check out the original I Put a Spell On You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, he liked scaring parents.
With performances like this you see the soul of rock and roll laid bare and naked for all to see. Shock and awe! No wonder it took the world by storm. The energy, the passion, the drive cannot be denied or contained. Truly, rock and roll will never die. Long live rock and roll!!
Most appropriately Jerry Lee coined the phrase Goodness Graious Great Balls Of Fire!!! It became a lexicon in the english language used by many as an exclamation to point out how someone feels about situations in their lives.
Crazy? Most would say, and did say he was a just one hell of a performer and rock key board player. Some are just born performers and and Jerry Lee was certainly one of them.
Awesome stuff and reaction! ANd he did this in 1957!!! The parents did not want their kids anywhere near him! More Killer., the King and his harder stuff, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly!
Hi Harry You're so right about going back in time seeing this wild man & people's reaction in that era. I was only fifteen in 1983 when I watched this in disbelief. Imagine what must have been like in 1957! Unbelievable stuff for sure! Best wishes to you & followers 🤗👍!

Jerry Lee actually did set his piano on fire one time when opening for Chuck Berry.
Even back then, grand pianos must have been over a grand!

Chuck insisted on playing last . “I want to see you follow that, Chuck.”

You are correct - check him out in this one - czcams.com/video/1dC0DseCyYE/video.html

I had the honor of seeing him live at the old Palomino Club in North Hollywood, California. He was older, but still rocked the house!!
Same way back in winter of 1966 north of Chiago....great show....will never forget
You wonder, sometimes, just how many pianos he went through. If I were that piano, I'da BIT HIM .... but we were blessed that it didn't.
He's the last of the early pioneers of Rock and Roll. Everyone else now is dead from the '50's. Long live "The Killer".
Punk music before Punk. He used to set his piano on fire on stage, long before Hendrix or Townsend of The Who did that. Legend.

Quite sophisticated to say the least in those days.

I swear im not surprised! I knew he would do something with that song title! 😂

"This man is crazy". That's why we love him. He's an American original.
You're exactly right about the living room scene - that's the way it was at our house.
Back in 1957, some said he was the greatest live show on earth 🌎 🙌
You're right. My parents must have been appalled. I loved it!
Great Balls Of Fire!
He was called Killer because nobody wanted to follow him, because the audience was slain.
Check out the original I Put a Spell On You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, he liked scaring parents.
"The Killa"! The original rock and roll madman!
He was one of the original "Bad Boys" and an incredible showman. He was a true entertainer.
Lewis was a mad man!
Harri, your reaction priceless
I've always wondered how far that piano bench flew when he stood up.
I loved your reaction to his first crazy song!! all I could think was “you ain’t seen nothing yet”!! Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire! 🔥🔥

Jerry Lee was the original style maker. The American rock n roll experience exploded out of his fingertips
Your reactions are priceless! Thanks for laughing with me, such a treat 😂😂
A lot of us didn't have a television back in 57. Truth. 🤔😎
You got to give "The Killer"props
Total Showman!!!👍
I remember watching this as a child. Loved it. Parents did not.
Oh the crazy roots of rock and roll!!! The release of the power of rock and roll! Wild! Gotta love it. Gotta dance!
Pure talent. No computer generated sounds in this music just pure talent. Takes a lot of talent to play instraments and sing

A hoot indeed, & speechless, oh yah. And this was a toned-down version for TV- The Steve Allen Show. Great reaction Harri
I saw him live in Macon, GA in 1969. WILD! WILD! WILD" The "killah."
Jerry Lee past about a week ago,I was fortunate to be able to see him in 1957, he put on a show, no one was sitting in their seats
I was 9 when this came out. My parents were listening to songs like "Tammy's in Love". I loved Rock n Roll from the start.
The WILD MAN was the real deal.
The same exciting times 60+ years ago.
Crazy? Most would say, and did say he was a just one hell of a performer and rock key board player.
Some are just born performers and and Jerry Lee was certainly one of them.
Awesome stuff and reaction! ANd he did this in 1957!!! The parents did not want their kids anywhere near him! More Killer., the King and his harder stuff, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly!
the look on your face at the first pause-priceless!! great reaction harri!
i was one and used to bounce in my crib to him and elvis (according to my dad) LOL
I saw Jerry live in the UK he was brilliant, it's funny because our parents just accepted it.
I agree, this must have blown people's minds in the 50's.
A wild man of early rock.. loved him. So young and innocent then. I think the parents of the era must have been horrified. lol..
I bet they were screaming in anguish with what they saw, and were concerned about their daughter go for.
The Killer ....... Rock and Roll Icon.
Dude, I gotta say you're awesome ❤. I love your charisma.
Jerry was a ‘wild man’
He's the last alive from the Architects of Rock and Roll.
You're right. Dang not many left. Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, many more but list is shrinking of the greatest
Hi Harry
You're so right about going back in time seeing this wild man & people's reaction in that era.
