I know Elvis is considered the King of Rock n Roll but I put Jerry Lee Lewis on an equal level . That first Steve Allan performance of "Whole Lot of Shakin Goin' On" was a real door buster. That must of been something to witness first hand as it happened. Even today I watch that with a big grin and Im amazed. Thanks Jerry Lee. Rest in peace Killer.🎹

In the very early years at the beginning, when Jerry Lee performed, it was just him, a bass player and a drummer. Incredible sound for a 3 man ensamble. It is really something special to hear and watch.

When talking about Memphis and especially sun records, many many people forget that Roy Orbison was there next to Johnny cash, Jerry, Carl, and elvis. Roy Orbison released many singles in 1956 out of sun records. Had a very distinctive and amazing voice, also a great guitarist. He put rockabilly and early rock n roll style songs together before Johnny and elvis did. Roy, had that stand up bass slap before it was something people knew what that sound was. And the drums in his music came thundering loud. It's a shame how people don't mention Roy when it comes to rock n roll!

Don't forget Howling Wolf either. His picture is on display inside sun records. A big part of Sun's business was recording artists and selling the records to other companies. Wolf's records were sold to Chess records. Ike Turner was Sun's talent scout at the time.

Jerry Lee Lewis really captured the rebellious spirit of Rock N Roll. Was he the King, the father, the architect, who knows? All I know is he played a very important role in rock history and captured an attitude of the music like no one else could. There are so many people out there who have bashed him and talked poorly of him. They've focused on nothing but the negative. The scandals. Jerry Lee certainly wasn't perfect, but there seems to be a lot more to the story than people realize. When you have context, it becomes clear. Regardless of his past, this man is a musical genius!

He was always a great performer. I get the impression that if you got him on a good day when he was in a good mood and completely sober, he was a real great guy. But on the other hand, if you got him on a day when he was drunk or in a pissed-off mood, or both, he could be quite a jerk.

Never ceases to amaze me there 's so many "critics" here that must turn it into a competition. In the interview Jerry Lee admits Elvis was at Sun before he was. Those of you who pit Elvis against Jerry Lee do all you Elvis fans just listen to Elvis ? And do all you Lewis fans just listen to Jerry Lee ?? Or are you open minded & listen to all of these artists ? Because I do I like all these artists Bill Haley kicked it off in 1953 & '54 & '55 he owned the first 3 years until Elvis in 1956 the first wave & Jerry Lee in 1957 he was one of the 2nd wave performers.

Jerry's talking voice is starting to sound more like a little bit of that Creole type of raspy southern kick that you'd find around Louisiana where he comes from. Usually he had a lighter southern drawl that was a little more playful, but its still great to see him looking good. He looks a little more like his mother now, back in the old days he was looking more like Elmo, his daddy.

I agree that he could've surpassed Elvis. Elvis had a slump of his own, and it was more of a depressed and reclusive sorta thing where he locked himself away like Howard Hughes and stopped appearing in public until he eventually came back with that tv special. All the while, Jerry Lee had several opportunities to bounce back... but he took his slump to the PUBLIC, and he was wildly ripping at the headlines in such a way that he could never get the main stream media to really adore him the same.

2kings of rockn roll piano jerry lee and little richard One king in rock n roll guitar chuck berry. Elvis only a great singer not a musician we never saw Elvis doing intro or solo with a guitar. And when he played piano (only for slow songs can t help falling in love ...love me tender )it was funny he was obliged to look at his fingers on the keyboard....like a beginner... When elvis sang fast songs of other rockers... Tutti frutti...long tall sally from little richard he didn t play instrument..at the same time.. When elvis sang what i say from ray charles he didn t play in strument. When elvis sang whole lotta shaking from jerry lee he didn t play at the same time instrument.. When elvis sang carl perkins s song blue suede shoes he played guitar...but not like carl (no solo..)... Elvis was intelligent he knew he was not able to play and sing zt the same time fast songs like did jerry lee and little richard and chuck berry. Elvis had luck to have very goog guitarists as jim burton and scotty moore. When you look at a lot of video When elvis plays guitar .then stops to play to moove his body .. but you can hear the riff of guitar... (Thank you jim burton or scooty moore.)... Elvis the first air guitar... In an interwiew. Scotty moore explained that elvis only played by chords.. and that it was him who did the melody. Note after note and not only by playing three chords.... Elvis a great voice for slow songs like -tom jones paul anka franck sinatra ...aretha franklyn... But why did he often take his guitar as decoration?...

He was lucky to buy for a few penny the otis s blackwell songs.. in 56... and became the first to be known. But later jerry lee and little richard surpassed him. more rythm.. Songs faster hard to play... And i forget two in classable men Fats domino and ray charles.
