He's actually sitting during the entire song, that's unusual and he didn't even set fire to his piano. Definitely one of his tamer performances.

[@bre2581]

This is actually one of his more tame performances😅 he would use his feet to play a lot. He hung out with Johnny Cash and Elvis, as well as Carl Perkins.

[@catwhisperer9489]

Yep, "The Million Dollar Quartet"!!!

[@maryrichardson1318]

Jerry Lee Lewis was one of the more flamboyant & wilder rock & roll singers of the time in the 50's-60's. He was nicknamed "The Killer". His piano playing & showmanship were legendary. He had a lot of hits such as "Breathless", "Wild One", "High School Confidential", "What'd I Say", "Another Place, Another Time" etc. His career faltered for a time when he married his 13-year-old cousin.

[@tammyjackson3113]

The Killer, find a video where he plays with his feet, he has set his piano on fire. You wouldn't believe his life story.

[@amandawebb8601]

You should definitely check out Jerry singing/playing 'Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On'.

[@rhondahandley9595]

Live version please AB.

[@amandawebb8601]

And then you should hear Big Maybelle's version. 🔥

[@daleb1279]

This was a pretty tame performance for him. The stage show was typically a whole lot wilder than that!

[@garygoodman4342]

Jerry Lee is the GOAT on the piano. He also taught country legend Hank Williams, Jr how to play the piano. Hank does a song on the piano at every show in tribute to Jerry Lee.

[@jeffreyetherton3185]

He also taught Chas of chad and Dave. You can hear his style in Chad's playing. It's quite amazing

[@dsusan17]

In my opinion Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard are Rock N Roll.

[@JP-wg4uo]

Best piano player to ever do it! #mrkiller himself 🔥RIP Mr. Jerry Lee

[@dustyhead3126]

Check out his run with Chuck Berry. Chuck refused to let Jerry close a show when this song was #1 so Jerry played and set piano of fire during the song. Jerry walked off stage and told Chuck Berry: follow that Killer. Jerry was going to take over as top musician from Elvis till he married his cousin

[@southernlady75-Amy]

I've seen old videos of him playing this song and the piano is actually ON fire! Amazing.

[@jessicamahoney4610]

You must look up additional performances of this song. He really rocks out and even plays piano with his feet. It's a riot.

[@WendyJoJohnston]

Jerry Lee Lewis was Elvis' 2nd cousin. His personal life was a bit of a train wreck, but when it came to music he was gifted. And that's why we are here, the music, and Jerry was the consummate musician, a very active piano player, and he would sing and play the hell out of a song. This is a very tame performance!

[@ameyer1970]

You need to checkout some Little Richard. He is a hell of a piano player also.

[@quicksimplebeauty]

Jerry was cousins with Mickey Gilley (owner of Gilley's Bar featured in Urban Cowboy) and evangelist Jimmy Swaggart. They all played piano like that

[@beegee1960]

That is because they had the same piano teacher when they were kids. They grew up in the same town.

[@johnpearce3714]

@ quicksimplebeauty , However ,Jerry Lee Lewis was the Best of the three cousins.

[@johnpearce3714]

​@@beegee1960, Jerry Lee Lewis did have two weeks of Piano lessons when he was Very young ,However ,he stopped having lessons. --- * then he started Playing the Piano on his terms & developing his unique style !!

[@srice8959]

@@johnpearce3714 Exactly and he would go to seen the black musicians in the Juke Joints, Barrelhouses, and such places here in Louisiana. Even though segregation was still a strong thing in the country not just in the Southern United States. There were always certain clubs where the black and white people would go to. An as long as you knew how to carry yourself and where respectful. Everything would be fine

[@liloljen1]

You should watch the movie also named “Great balls of fire!”

[@MissSimone02]

It's one of my favorite movies!

[@jgn1326]

If you like his piano playing, then you should check out Little Richard as well.

[@Let_Jesus_Rescue_You]

So glad you dug him! He was incredible! Fats Waller was wow too...but he made jazz music! ☺️❤️💞💖🙏🏻 LOL

[@marygammons3323]

Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins recorded a record called the million dollar quartet. Jerry once set the piano on fire while playing it. He was one of a kind on that piano. There's a movie about him called Great Balls of Fire.

[@tennpsyc0316]

Your face was amazing! My high school friend played this in hs talent shows. Hes a professional key board player now in Nashville

[@shawnmazyn7090]

Yep, when he turns and sits on the piano keys.. it's a must see!! A true legend 👍

[@sarahberke7194]

If you feel like you've heard this song before, then you must have seen the movie Top Gun. I enjoy your reactions, keep up the good work.

[@carols6013]

This is a tame performance for him. 😂

[@joankisloski6972]

I grew up with Jerry Lee & Little Richard 2 of the best boogie-woogie piano players.

[@douglasainsworth2448]

Jerry Lee Lewis was actually one of three cousins who were all gifted pianists. The other two are Mickey Gilley, owner of Gilley's in Houston...made famous in the movie Urban Cowboy; and Rev. Jimmy Swaggart. You might also want to check some of his country music from the 60s and 70s. You aren't likely to find a bad one by The Killer

[@jinxie228]

Ooh this one is tame. I got a chance to see him live. WOW!

[@marcieharreld286]

He plays without looking at the keys!!! SPECTACULAR!!!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎹🎤🎙🎧🥁🤘🤘🤘🤘 So, did you like it???😉😉

[@deborahdavis626]

I can't get enough!! YOU'RE REACTION Priceless!! I watch this video to cheer me up! Absolutely Love this, my fav

[@Gutslinger]

Unfortunately passed away October 28th, last year. Born in Sept 1935.. He was 87. Dude has been around forever, and was around a bunch of legends in the 50's. Like Elvis and Johnny Cash.. He and Elvis roles were casted in the Johnny Cash movie called "Walk the Line". You can see an older Jerry Lee Lewis featured in the Johnny Cash music video "God's Gonna Cut You Down", that was made after Johnny's passing.. Lots of stars in that video.

[@Shadele1969]

This should be good 😂❤ Edit: I was right 😂😂😂😂 i so needed a dose of ab tonight

[@reneeallen3569]

He was known for setting the piano on fire as a well as great music and married his 13 year old cousin and being the cousin of Jimmy Swaggart the evangelical preacher who told him he was going to hell for playing rock and roll. He said if he was going to hell he was going playing the piano! Watch the movie about his life!

[@leroyleach7581]

you just watched the #1 Rock-a-Billy piano player EVER! he didn't have Elvis' looks, nor, as versatile over all, but, boy could he put on a show with the piano. funfact: he and Elvis came up in the industry together, Sun Records, Memphis, etc....he and Elvis only lived about 9 miles from each other..Jerry Lee at the Lewis Ranch in Nesbit, MS and, Elvis of course at Graceland in south Memphis just north of the MS state line.

[@robindew9072]

No one rocked the piano like Jerry Lewis. He was one of the greatest performers ever to grace the stage.

[@artfisk3]

there's a video of him doing "you win again" it's live and a must see !!! from very early in his career

[@TruLuv13]

Hahaha you crack me up! 😂

[@827dusty]

Jerry Lee, AKA "The Killer." He along with Elvis, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry, among others, created the thing we all love called "Rock and Roll." In 1955 Rock and Roll was born, and Jerry Lee Lewis was one of the Pioneers.

[@dillonsronce2583]

He is usually considered to be the first rock star ever.

[@patticriss2238]

He was so great. Just great. Hubris held him back. He could have reached even higher. Man he could perform.

Try to catch "The Killer" when he sets the piano on fire and keeps playing it. So totally, totally Cool. He's got it going on. Thank you so very much. Once again, I enjoyed it very , very much. Have a Blessed Evening. Adios.

[@johnpearce3714]

@ wendyjojohnston , Jerry Lee Lewis wasn't a cousin of Elvis Presley. Where did you get that Idea from ???!!!

[@cochiseblueearth8071]

I'd like to see you react to "The Animals ", "House of the Rising Sun". Hi, from Arkansas!

[@ABtheKreator]

Already have my friend 🤣…. Type in ABtheKreator Animals in the KZbin search 🔍 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@scottbaron121]

You found of video of him actually SITTING DOWN!? My mom would tell me stories about his playing. There's a "legend" that says that other performers (Elvis, Perkins, Willie Nelson, etc.) would flat-out REFUSE to go on after him. He would bring the house down.

[@dr.winstonoboogie7302]

This performance was so tame and calm… He used to hit the piano keys with his foot and butt, and he even set the piano on fire once! The Killer was one of the first rock’n’rollers and a piano master in his own right.

[@luthermoore2969]

This is not a great representation of his piano playing due to the video being offsetting with the actual recording. That's him playing the piano no doubt but what's seen being played isn't what's being heard.

[@christinapurdion84]

This is one of the most calm performances I’ve ever seen by Jerry. 😂

Yep madman on the keys.

[@delenelewis9024]

To add to your piano greats, try the video called "Pinetop Perkins - Pinetop's Boogie Woogie". Pinetop was absolutely great, and Jerry Lee Lewis was highly influenced by him. Anyway, give that video a try. The number is as great as the piano playing. Great performance!

[@johnpearce3714]

@ delenelewis9024 ,Jerry Lee Lewis had never heard of pinetop Perkins when he was a very young teenager ,Anyway , even if he had heard of Pinetop Perkins ,Jerry Lee had developed his own style & brand of Piano Playing !! ---- * Jerry Lee once stated when asked as re.Influences ,that he had never heard of any at his / that young age !!

[@recoil53]

If you like piano playing, I suggest you look up Hiromi Uehara and Oscar Peterson. I'm not saying Jerry Lee Lewis isn't great, but I don't know about top 2. In answer to your thumbnail's playing - Jerry Lee Lewis is one of the founding fathers of Rock & Roll.

[@j.l.jacobs3370]

Have you heard of (Grand Funk Railroad) ....They were very popular back in the early 70s......You should check out their live version of....Inside Looking Out.....I enjoyed you playing Jerry Lee Lewis....And I really liked your comment....You said, when Jerry is looking up in the air, he's having an outer body experienced...You really said it in a different way..(It was cool too)....Oh Yeah, don't listen to this song....Inside Looking Out...before hand.

[@bloos61]

LOVED watching your reaction!! 😅 Yesss! Jerry Lee Lewis!

[@pennyyoung3166]

Related to Mickey Tilley and jimmy swaggart cousins. Gilles country singer swaggart preacher

[@srice8959]

I’m from Louisiana and it’s the same state he’s from. He comes from a very popular family. One of his cousins was Jimmy Swaggert a huge TV Evangelical Preacher who was busted in a rent by the hour hotel with a hookers, and his other cousin was Mickey Gilly who owned the biggest bar in the world at the time. It’s the one where Urban Cowboy was filmed at with John Travolta Also he learned how to play in the old black Juke Joints from Louisiana

If you are looking for comedy--check out Tim Conway on Carol Burnett show, especially The Dentist with Harvey Korman

Jerry Lee, Mickey Gilley, and Jimmy Swaggart were first cousins! There's a video of them playing!

Jerry was a great piano player but you need to check out Fats Waller. Ain't Misbehavin' - from the movie Stormy Weather (1943) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoSxgaOpqNeofLs Fats wrote many songs including this one.

[@annabeavers9590]

His first Cousins are Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley.

[@catwhisperer9489]

You ain't seen nothin', yet.... This was tame Jerry; not his usual style.... Watch this medley, where he plays with his feet, etc---you will lose your mind!!! (Also of interest, he was part of "The Million Dollar Quartet", at Sun Records, where he, and the others, made Sam Phillips a million dollars. Who were the other three? Why, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins, of course!!! There's you a serious history lesson, right there!!! 😊) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmqTlJmJj5toqck

[@danielconley7042]

Not "piano sprayer" He's known as the "Killer"

[@janetbentsen1829]

Love me some Jerry Lee. The talent in those days all of Sun Studio. He was friends with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Elvis. Destroyed his career for awhile when he married his 13 year old cousin but with talent like that he came back. He also had a falling out with ELVIS. He went to Graceland when Elvis was home waving a gun around. The police came and he was arrest. Jerry Lee crazy but what a talent!

[@White-Head]

Jerry Lewis, Mikey Gilley , and Preacher Jimmy Swagger are 1st cousins . All can play panios like this

[@izadumbell]

I worked for his cousin Mickey Gilley till he died..mickey was a great piano player as well. Their grandmother gave them all lessons..his other cousin is Jimmy Swaggert

[@luthermoore2969]

Is jerry lee the best piano player ever? No he's not(coming from a die hard jerry lee fan) but dammit he's the best ROCK n ROLL piano player you will ever see.

[@lc52071]

Look this video up! All the greats! Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Ray Charles, BB King

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Jerry's performances are usually far more wild. He plays the piano with his feet & even his ass sometimes. LOL He was amazing & I think if he had not married his 13 year old cousin, he career would have continued to rise. That turned off a lot of conservative record labels & TV censors. It basically crushed his career. Sad. Talented guy.

[@elainehaynes1168]

Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Lee Swaggart were cousins. Jimmy ended up being a minister and also sings and plays the piano quite well. Their style of playing is very similar. If you would like to check out the similarities, there is a video of Jimmy playing, "Looking For a City". Jerry Lee just recently died and Jimmy is in his late 80's and still plays.

[@MaryABJM]

Married his 13 year old cousin. Yeah….no. We cancelled him in the country before cancelling was a thing. Hide your sister type situation in Appalachia. My parents wouldn’t even let me listen to him in the 70’s for that nonsense

Dig it, Jerry Lee didn't have a mic and his bass player wasn't plugged in. Lip synch. A good one, Jerry Lee did not come to play.
