Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it Mickey Gilley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Lee Swaggart, and Hank Williams jr. are all first cousins. Like I said correct me if I'm wrong.
@auntbecky Cousin Jimmy Swaggart confessed and repented on national TV. That's all he's required to do by God. People that don't forgive Jimmy Swaggart are in danger of not having "their" sins forgiven. Mark 11:25-26 (KJV) "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
In the end Elvis has proved to be the King of Rock-nRoll. A fact that Jerry Lee has never been able to get over. Even to the point when he drove up to the gates of Graceland firing shot from a .38 cal pistol cussing Elvis for out selling and out performing him in his career. Yes, Jerry lee is great and one of my favorites but he is nowhere close to Elvis as a performer and an Icon. Sorry guys it's the truth.
@gurlsingerfan: LOL! Wish I'd been there! Gurl, I keep thinking about this FAMILY: Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley, Jimmy Swaggart (no matter what u think of him, he can play the Hell out of a piano, just like the other 2!) All 3 are incredible ...mind-boggling that they're all cousins. So who else is in that family that we just don't know about? And if there are no more, why not??? You know that talent has to show up again, sooner or later. It's in their DNA. Incredible video. They had fun!!!
@LorenzoMoore1000 Yes! That's what I thought, too (see my reply above to gurlsingerfan). Maybe he wasn't there 'cause he knew many religious people would be shocked & offended, because it was a honky-tonk. I don't know, of course. I'm just guessing. But, it would have been even more spectacular, just un-beatable!, if all 3 of them had been there & playing at the same time. Wow! What a daydream! What a ticket!!! (:
jerry lee´s piano is rolling like a V8 big block....he is the best and fastest piano player in the world... he plays under high voltage and i think his brain is working like a machine gun...i love him
my sister loves this song , and im listening to it now , the long ago years well not so long the music and everybody was so happy, and now it seems like things are sung sadly.... :) nice song :)
The thing I like the best about this is that you see Jerry Lee smile so much. He hardly ever smiles very much when he performs. Jerry Lee really looks like he is having some fun when he plays with his cousin Mickey!
Even though Jerry Lee's an old man now he still hasn't lost his touch. I read somewhere that he was originally going to be a minister but got kicked out of Bible college.
@jerryleelewis1935...In the beginning he was bigger then Elvis.. Right up to the scandal with his cousin...But real music people know who the greatest is...N That's Jerrylee///
@hueyleader Elvis became a superstar two or three years before Jerry Lee had his first hit. Jerry was on track to become the King of Rock and Roll when Elvis was drafted into the Army. Sadly his marriage to Myra put the brakes to his career for several years. Oddly he never again attained the stature in Rock and Roll which was his before Myra, but found even greater success switching to country music.
Look for the Pop Goes the Country vids of them together.Rockin stuff.One has them playing a single piano together and Carl Perkins pickin the strings.
It might only be a few tones, but what a difference, the kick at 1:15 is empressive. Its so much more than just memorizing a boogie pattern! These guys are too much!
LOL @ Hank Williams comment. THIS IS A SONG OF THE CHURCH, BABY.
