Jerry Lee Lewis - "Legends of Rock 'n' Roll" concert

Back in the mid-to -late 1950's Rock and Roll was off to an amazing start and this "Legends of Rock 'n' Roll" concert (1989) you will see two of the Rockers of the time, LIttle RIchard and Jerry Lee Lewis... In this scenario, LIttle Richard is the Host and introduces Jerry Lee, and He goes on to play a medley of three of his songs from that 50s and 60s era... Some of you won't know anything about either Rocker, but if you were born in the 1940's and 50's you will probably remember them... I will post a LIttle RIchard song following this one... Since there are three songs, I will dispense with the Lyrics...

Background Bio - Jerry Lee Lewis:

Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935) is an American singer and pianist, often known by his nickname, The Killer. He has been described as "rock n' roll's first great wild man and one of the most influential pianists of the twentieth century."

A pioneer of rock and roll and rockabilly music, Lewis made his first recordings in 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis. "Crazy Arms" sold 300,000 copies in the South, but it was his 1957 hit "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" that shot Lewis to fame worldwide. He followed this with "Great Balls of Fire", "Breathless" and "High School Confidential". However, Lewis's rock and roll career faltered in the wake of his marriage to Myra Gale Brown, his 13-year-old cousin.

Lewis's successes continued throughout the decades and he embraced his rock and roll past with songs such as a cover of the Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace" and Mack Vickery's "Rockin' My Life Away". In the 21st century, Lewis continues to tour around the world and still releases new albums. His 2006 album Last Man Standing is his best-selling release to date, with over a million copies sold worldwide. This was followed by Mean Old Man in 2010, which has received some of the best sales of Lewis's career.

Lewis has a dozen gold records in both rock and country. He received four Grammy awards, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and two Grammy Hall of Fame Awards.Lewis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, and his pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. He was also a member of the inaugural class inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. In 1989, his life was chronicled in the movie Great Balls of Fire, starring Dennis Quaid.

I hope you enjoy it...
