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?
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.
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!
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...
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.
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
I think all of these guys leveled the playing field for each other. The most talent in music history came from these people and the set the bar absurdly high. There wasn't a time in music before or after that could even hold a candle to the way these people performed and when they performed they gave it there all. These guys were the best! Name one other person who could even play anything near to Jerry Lee, Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggert, who we're all cousins. They all play the same way
I suppose I would add Leon Russell and Elton John to the list of great keyboard artists. Leon really didn't sing all that well, but Sir Elton was a complete package in his day.
Saw Jerry Lee Lewis one time when he was in Montreal,Quebec .Listened to him a lot while much younger than I am now at teen dances and on radio stations. Those were the days I loved. His lady singer is amazing !
So glad to discover this again. Jerry Lee Lewis of Great Balls of Fire fame. Emmylou of Two more bottles of wine. This earlier song is delightfully performed decades ago. Thanks for the post.
I cannot resist this one. I keep coming back to it. The gorgeous, young Emmy-Lou and the, no question, legend Jerry Lee Lewis. She is impressed and rightly so but I love that look at "not mine, not mine". He has, like me, got to that "in your dreams" stage in life. She will never be his except in his dreams but oh how he wishes. The vocals blend seaminglessly and I will listen to it again and again.
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
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
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.
A lounge act with a slowed down version. Yes a great duo.While I prefer the rocking version JLL never does a bad version and always brings something to his singing and playing
Listening to this type music and especially the way Mr Jerry Lee Lewis does it, I think I can get a grasp on my daddies world long after his divorce from momma.
@@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.
Jerry Lee and Emmylou have very different styles. Here he gives it the full Jerry Lee treatment; Emmylou has to try and keep up as best she can. "Hey, I gotta be me, girl!"
Jerry Lee was very BIG in the good old southeast, south and southwest, a definite rival of Elvis (at least among his young fans) A great showman and musician
@whisky2roxy .....Hey Dr Whisky .Wow you have the raw talent to tell when people are "likely drunk ".What a gift . ....Did you ever think ....That Mister Nelson and crew , ....had been by ....and they got hit ....with a full contact high . ....No I sigh . When you grow up you will know .
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

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 👏
Two true American giant legends in one stage
Wow!A straight Jerry Lee Lewis and Emmylou.
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.

Yes
Yes, and it’s interesting that his first recording (this song) was country.
So true !!!!!!!
Nobody can reach the greatness of this fantastic musicien. Long live to the Killer, from Spain
Jerry lee is the last musician alive that made records in sun studio 😢THE KILLER ❤️❤️

@@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.
2:15
😢😢
Priceless.
A sound like no other. Jerry could sing with the best of them all and made them feel comfortable

Oh What a lovely treat to find. The badest cat in country and the most beautiful...
Emmylou is gorgeous and an unmistakable, unique voice .
Still like old Jerry Lee. He tore up the 50s, came back in late 60s, & then in the 80s. Emma Lou Harris has never went away. Love to hear her sing.

The real man and example of true and talented singer and pianist...the best!!! Love you Jerry Lee
How come country music doesn't sound like this any more?
This is by far the best rendition I've ever heard, even with a little fumble here and there.
Too bad we don't have a better recording of it.
Even with the graininess of the video it is truly a gemstone.
Goodgodamighty I'll never find music this beautiful anymore
Absolutely. Jerry. Was the. Killer being. 76. Still. Rocking. Robert. V. Evans
Emmylou 'n' Jerry Lee, grandi, grandi, grandi ! (2019 dec. 11)
Emmylou is so HOT in this video. What a doll . And the best female vocalist period.
Yihaaaaaa Jerry Lee Lewis, great with Emmylou
Jerry Lee rocks!
Two great singers
WOW....what a duo. Awesome.
Rest in paradise, Killer.
Indeed one of the greatest country songs of all times

roger miller was not involved on this song
So much good then, so little now.
I was 4 years old when the Killer first released Crazy Arms. In 1972 or so I saw him play in Amarillo, Texas. Those were the days!
that sweet 1 octave above....no one does it like emmylou
LIKE IT WHEN JERRY SINGING WITH HIS SISTER THEY SOUND LOVELY TOGETHER
A beautiful woman who can sing I love Emmylou
That's Amazing.
A lounge act with a slowed down version. Yes a great duo.While I prefer the rocking version JLL never does a bad version and always brings something to his singing and playing
Thanks for posting.
Inspired duo.
One of the great country songs of all times, and does anyone sing harmony better than Emmylou.
I agree, Emmylou is a fantastic harmony singer. Check out "My Blue Tears" by Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou and Dolly Parton. Heaven!
Arthur Shatz er 5grl"45u6 nbc bien hff
yes
She’s also a wonderful curator of other people’s work. Every Emmylou album is chockfull of wonderful gems. God bless Emmylou 🥰
This is a really good song I like it Jerrylee Lewis is such a good singer
BEAUTIFUL!
Jerry lee Lewis at his best great piano man I live his version of you win again
Love Emmy Lou and Jerry Lee great thanks 2019 god bless
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
Jerry Lee has recorded some of the best duets with all types of mu
Perfection.
Les années 1960.......douce mémoire.......
Truly a beautiful song, thank you for posting this great!!
Emmylou looking particularly beautiful in this video, and what a voice - WOW - she is truly special.
Yeah that sounds like some of that good stuff I used to hear many years ago.
Jerry Lee and Elvis are the Kings!
Listening to this type music and especially the way Mr Jerry Lee Lewis does it, I think I can get a grasp on my daddies world long after his divorce from momma.
A great duo
Boogie woogie man...thanks so much and Emmy, you're so gorgeous.
Yeh we sound good , Jerry , Emmylou and the piano
Hard to believe that Jerry Lee's the last man standing.
Last one of the Sun Records clan....
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.
Willie Nelson
This is simply fantastic
IMPREiSIONANTE SENCILLAMENTE MARAVILLOSO VIVA THE KILLER🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
They make it wery, good! I like the song, too!
I dont care if you like it or not. JLL and ELH together is fan-tastic.
Jerry Lee and Emmylou have very different styles. Here he gives it the full Jerry Lee treatment; Emmylou has to try and keep up as best she can. "Hey, I gotta be me, girl!"
Emmylous is amazing and Jerry just acts like she is not even there. Seems strange to me.
Gold!
Very late I discovered JL as a great country talent
I love this. Thanks for posting. =)
pieknie
Could not love this more!
Happy Birthday Jerry Lee Lewis
(b.Sep.29, 1935).
Jerry Lee was very BIG in the good old southeast, south and southwest, a definite rival of Elvis (at least among his young fans) A great showman and musician
Fantastic!
The Killer in his prime !!
Just classic!
Two real greats together
Love them :}
Great one!
Wow :)
Emmylou is truly the sexiest most beautiful woman God ever created!!!!💖❤️🧡💙💛💕💓💝💞
Still really amazing... #jerrylee #Emmylou :-)
Jerry Lee should have Kennedy Center honors years ago.
True!!! I'm angry for that
@whisky2roxy .....Hey Dr Whisky .Wow you have the raw talent to tell when people are "likely drunk ".What a gift .
....Did you ever think
....That Mister Nelson and crew ,
....had been by
....and they got hit
....with a full contact high .
....No I sigh .
When you grow up you will know .
just brings tear to my eyes
The beauty and the beast :)
awsum........this killed me.....dme on the edge of a precipuss.....
brill love it
The Killer and Miss Sweet Heart!!
I would have preferred to hear him sing this on his own.
Thank you
Very nice
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
Good combination there.
Look at Emmylou @ about 1:26. She nearly lost her balance after that piano lick. THAT is piano playin'.
i don't know you don't like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 people don't know how to rock
The only time he looks at her is when he says "not mine, not mine, not mine" haha
HemiJoel ... yes I think it would have added some warmth if he connected with her
super
Muito bom , ótimo ....
