Mack Vickery is my father-in-law and how he is in this video is how he was in real life. Bigger than life and never afraid. He and Jerry Lee were great friends and Mack wrote so many money making hits for him, I bet Jerry would have let Mack do anything he wanted!! How Jerry Lee plays it is how Mack wrote it. Song writers do have some talent. Song writers make the music world go around!!!
Very few people could get away with it with Jerry but Mack Vickery was one of the few who could because he and Jerry were personal friends. Even Jerry messes with Mack and flashes a big smile after Mack "violated" the piano. Mack Vickery [stage name Atlanta James] traveled with and opened many shows for Jerry Lee Lewis in the mid 1970's. Mack Vickery was also a BIG FAN of Jerry Lee Lewis.
@LJ979695 You are right. I just wanted to point out that he wrote the song, so I guess he has his own ideas how it should sound. All the best and Rock on!
@kjetin99 I don´t like the way he plays and sings but it is just my oppinion . I love Jerry Lee´s Music and Mack Vickery has some great songs as well but I think the don´t sound good together.
@princessgypzy Thank you very much for your comment. Very interesting !!

Someone else touching the piano while JLL is playin' it is like a hooker taking a cell phone call in church! Not cool!

Don't miss the fact that James Burton is standing next to Kenny Lovelace playing guitar also.

Mack Vickery wrote this song and was honored that Jerry Lee Lewis recorded it in his own unique style!!!
