Jerry Lee Lewis - Me and Bobby McGee

[@arwoldee]

In all seriousness, has anyone else EVER been this good?

[@shirleywooley2489]

Never!!!!

[@mattkoch692]

Not even close

[@martinwyatt6390]

And NEVER will

[@PeterG-s5y]

NO......He obviously had talent, charisma and a stage presence but then he had something I don't know a word for. Before my time but wish I could have experienced a show. RIP Jerry Lee.

[@luthermoore2969]

This is simply the best version of Me and Bobby McGee and it's not even close. Jerry owns this song

[@jimfrisk688]

well Janis Joplin's version isnt bad...and many think is the best.

[@erikkops6162]

Amen

[@kevinjudy5489]

Hate to disagree..Janis Joplin did the classic....Very close second..

[@luthermoore2969]

Jerry can't be touched. Yea Janis had a raspy sexy voice from who know what she did but the only one who has anything on Jerry lee is Elvis and that's a fact

[@richardwright8189]

Don’t you love how he turns it into such a personal song

[@mikecole30820]

Because Jerry Lee doing Bobby Mcgee is what everybody needs in 2020!

[@dangaines405]

No one, I mean no one, can play piano like Jerry Lee!

[@devakikaren]

Kristofferson told Jerry Lee his version of Bobby McGee is his favorite. Still reeling from the huge loss of Jerry Lee. Am here in Louisiana and just a couple of hrs from Ferriday wch brings it even closer to home. So very sad. Thank God for You Tube so we can listen again & again to all his life's work.

[@chuckp1832]

What a great cover. RIP Jerry Lee and Kris Kristofferson.

Don’t get better than this

The likes of Jerry Lee Lewis we'll never see again in a million years - not ever, period. JLL is The Undefeated R 'n R Warrior of All Times whoever the challenger may be, he is second to no one. Navaho

How right you are. Pure genius

[@luthermoore2969]

I've said it and I'll say it again. Jerry Lee Lewis is the King of Rock n Roll period.

[@martinwyatt6390]

Yes, Jerry Lee Lewis, He came Second to None

[@Hogo-Fogo-Kapitan]

@@martinwyatt6390 Ошибаетесь, он номер 1 и только потом идут Чак Берри, Литтл Ричард, а Элвис вообще, где-то во второй десятке.

Jerry Lee is King of Rock 'n' roll, no doubt about it - Little Richard stands right beside him. This version of Me & Bobby McGee is Top of the Line. No doubt 'bout that either. Navaho - Sweden

That just passed the "hair on the back of the neck" test. Wow! He's bloody good - *and* he knows it!

This could perhaps be his BEST overall concert performance.

[@jimmymshali6661]

OK Jerry now that you are in heaven you have. left your foot prints in our hearts RIP 💔💔

[@herbvette]

Hang on, kiddies - this is what's Rock and Roll. Jerry Lee will always be The Killer.

[@Erulin68]

He's left handed... one of the few pianists who is, it gives his playing that "I don't know what"........ but god the Man can play

[@happydays8171]

Left handers signals go right to the right, creative side of the brain. When we're doing our creative things, our brains lose all track PF time, an hour can go by in 5 min, and we've been in a natural high. A book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" explains it better than I can.

[@Chrisspruce1]

He's not left handed at all. He's right handed. Check out other videos where he is signing autographs or playing guitar.

[@BillMcGirr]

I realize this comment is 12 YEARS late. I’m a natural lefty. But as a guitar player I always figured my left hand was carrying the weight of forming complex chords. My right was working with finger picking and actual PICKing. But not as hard as my left. While I’m NO piano/keyboard player. (Only songwriting) It seems to be the OPPOSITE. The right hand is by far carrying the heavy work.🤷‍♂️ It ain’t easy being a natural lefty.🤣🤣🤣👍🥃🎸 Best wishes to everyone.👍

[@Erulin68]

@@BillMcGirr Tell me about it. My parents couldn't afford a left handed guitar so they got my a regular one. 42 years later I still play right handed.

[@BillMcGirr]

@@Erulin68 Good stuff. Guitar playing is the ONLY thing I do “right” handed. But like I said… it always felt natural to me.🤷‍♂️👍🥃😊

no one is as brilliant as this . no one even comes close

Nice tribute to an absolute ICON! I play(try) piano.......gotta give this guy G for guts to even approach such an Iconic song👏👏As i am sure this Gentleman will agree.....only ever be ONE Jerry lee Lewis!😂😂We in Europe all miss him😢Well done buddy🇬🇧🇺🇲👍

[@ManOfSteel607]

Man, I never even envisioned "Me and Bobby McGee" as a boogie woogie piano tune, but of course The Killer does it! Dad gum that man rocks.

[@andyecheandia8375]

@@billleyland128 Think about it. Around that same time Loretta Lynn had gotten married at the same age as Myra. Except she stayed within the regional area, Jerry lee was National. In Jerry’s area of the country MANY had married young, he just wasn’t sophisticated enough to understand

I spent an hour or so listening to and watching every version of this song I could find. For pure excitement, musical enjoyment and fantastic singing, no one comes close to Jerry Lee. And that's not even mentioning the awesome piano!!! This man is the performer of the century!

Woah there, woah. England LOVES Jerry Lee. I am an Englishman and I am not alone in stating that he was, is and always will be the KING. Rock n roll will always own him a huge debt of gratitude. MAGNIFICENT talent of a loner who rocks on the wild side. I am privileged to have heard his music and I thank him, and the USA for that. Out

[@1pattaya]

Unreal ability. Amazing.

[@ejoty2468]

The Killer is hotter than a flamethrower. He doesn't have to pour gas in the piano and ignite it for effect, ....his fingers set the keys on fire. Man....I'm still feeling the shivers run down my back and that's ten minutes after listening to the song.
