Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis

[BeauLeeman]

@ BeauLeeman, the other example of the original being the best is 'Little Darlin' (no 'g').

The first hit on youtube is 'Little Darlin' - The Diamonds - 1957'

Perfect arrangement, timing, and perfect backup vocals and accompanyment.

First time I heard it on the radio, I ran to the phone to call the radio station, but couldn't get thu to the disk jockey.

Went out later to buy the recording, one of the best 2 1/2 minute tunes ever!

But later live performances don't even come close.

[BeauLeeman]

That's the original rendition. Like so many others, the original was the best. Seen JL in concert here and there, and he's a great performer, altho he doesn't do dance steps like Jackie Wilson, at least he sings live, rather than lip sync. Check out "lonely teardrops" to see what I mean.

But again, the original is best!

One more example:

[MrStevemartinish]

what's the year of the record or song.....it's the 1 im looking for, all other times he sang that song just don't cut it.

[TheSnow77]

[aspenrebel]

To all you kids out there..... that is what is called a "45". Being played on a Monotone (not Stereo) record player. That's all we had to listen to music with, back in the olden days.

[jbessey2007]

[ccg1171]

You dont realize how lucky you are to own that record and a working player where did you get that record

[fuzzprobe]

I got this record from the trash.

[TTTigerTanker]

@fuzzprobe: Who could be that idiot to throw a Jerry Lee Lewis record to trash? You're lucky that you've found it...

[HereIamWhatNow]

[DarthOzzySith]

[hop328]

[1LoFi45]

Just linked in from a mtorringa vid. You got some good tunes here.

[hop328]

very great one of a kind

[DrLinguini]

How exactly is it you got a hold of this record? This is some of the best music of all time right here. LONG LIVE THE KILLER!!!

[GATMAN3000]

thank you for adding all of these tunes. i'm 24 but i still love these songs and am fascinated by the era.

[damusician]

i have a dejay record player like that, but a superheroes type.

[jukeboxdude]

That's actually a fairly decent record. The player itself sounds kinda funky, but the record still has some life left in it.
