Jerry Lee Lewis & Dottie West "Sweet Thang"

From the 1982 TV Special "25 Years of Jerry Lee Lewis" this is a fine duet with Dottie West.
"If God made anythin' better, he kept it for himself" :)

He's fantastic at duets, wish we could see more

[@retroeddie]

WOW! These two compliment each other fabulously and naturally. They obviously enjoy singing together...it's a joy to watch! And the Killer bows to her at the end...probably the only time he's ever done that in his life. That says a LOT about Dottie West, cause the Killer doesn't show that kind of admiration to many entertainers. Actually, they looked like they were kinda sweet on each other here ;) CHEERS!

She is in the mercy of his charms. Funny stuff, and a great duet.

Jerry Lee did indeed make up the last half of the second verse! What a talent to be able to do that on the spur of the moment...I had this 45 by Loretta and Ernest on a 1958 Rock-Ola jukebox....god I wore that thing out!!! MANY MANY THANKS FOR POSTING!!!

Great clip! Thanks! Great performance by them both!

[@hbbeverlymusic]

Did anyone catch the Killer making up the entire second verse that he sang? Wow, that guy was the best at making up new verses on the spur of the moment moment, LOL! hey may not have been examples of literary, excellence, but they were definitely entertaining. I believe he was, ahem..... "inspired" by Dottie's captivating presence. Horny boy, indeed!

[@coolsweetgroovy]

@retroeddie That was just Dottie she was huge flirt and the same can be said for Jerry Lee, she always put on one hell of a show and the crowds just loved her, she is greatly missed.

[@uofmrebel]

There's a new version of it by Gene Watson and Rhonda Vincent that's pretty good, but this one is great with JLL. Love that "Killer Country".

[@Lauriesdelight]

Loretta Lynn & Ernest Tubb Will Always Have The Best Version....But ty for posting

[@Nolan-sb3ed]

i love both of them but i didn't like how both of them were singing right in the middle of each other. i guess i don't like because i have always listened to Loretta Lynn and Ernest Tubb's version of it.
