Great - what an individual stylist - prime example is his rendition of this number. The '64 live clip is awesome too. Love the trills & yodel at the end!
I like Jerry Lee, but I think he sings this a bit slow, I do this song in Hank Williams version. at Karaoke,> MY song above Crazy Arms ,is to Jerry Lee Lewis music . & fast , Enjoy ~ Arthur
@arinvests Jerry Lee does some of his best work in a slow format. There are few singers that can do heavy rock and roll and slow songs so well. He is an awesome performer!!
Listening to his various performances of this song over the years, posted here, I'm struck by how clear & strong this one is...his voice, his piano playing, the depth of feeling & meaning he brings out in the lyrics. He sounds in control, wiser, stronger, here. It's been said, "What can't be cured, must be endured." In this performance, i hear the weary wisdom & strength that so often comes from that enduring. Now, he really is the "Last Man Standing," after all. Who'datho't? You go, Jerry Lee!
I am seventy now and am so glad I knew Jerry Lee in the fifties. He was so good then, and every song he sang became one of my favorites. I almost got in a fight in the fifties when someone said he could not sing but just talked. He is a one off and cannot be replaced.
Jerry Lee Lewis May have been a pedophile but he could still play the shit out of a piano , at least he had the decentcey to marry his first cousin before he defiled her ...at age 11
@LT1HILLINGHOE There is something very wrong with you who thinks that hank jr. is so wonderful. This man has no respect for life. And you can look in the mirror you are the one that is the loser.
Jerry Lee and Fats Domino taught Hank Jr. how to play piano over on Franklin Road. Hank Jr. can play exactly like Jerry Lee.

This is my favorite country song ever, and I mean ever. Jessie Colter came close with I'm not Lisa, and Storms never last, but Jerry Lee is the best.

There will be no other like Jerry Lee, he was a one off just like Johnny Cash and Hank Snow, Elvis, Kristofferson, and Hank Jr. and Sr.

it seems like the piano is attached to jerry, his playing just flows without a flaw and yet he seems to just be toying with it
sittnonchrome 2 years ago 5
I've noticed that, too.
It's the same way any time you see him playing.
He has to have incredible hands in order to play like that.
