This song was the title of a 50s teen movie. Jerry Lee performed the song in the movie. He recut it for Smash, and later for the Great Balls of Fire soundtrack. That last version appeared in a scene where Jerry Lee picks up Myra at school. This remake was one of the few where you could hear his age.
Oh thank you so much. I googled my brains out looking for the title and kept coming up empty. I do appreciate all those who have helped me with title names. Sorry I got cranky with one. I just love this one too. Gets me hoppin and a boppin every time ☺
To me, Scott Simon always managed to out-Jerry Lee the real thing. I know its just a copy, but it sure is a magnificent copy. By the way, the song is called High School Confidential and its one of my favorites " From The Streets Of New York"
@oldcoot55 you got that right Scott Simon could out rock Jerry Lee in any contest. lets face it these guys could do the covers as good and sometimes better than the originals. Gave some of them having them as guests a new lease!
I have this on the 73 live Dance contest album live from the streets of new York I also have a greatest hits on tape and hot sox from 74 album
