I saw The Killer in Reno about 20 years ago or thereabout at the Eldorado outdoor concert area. The place was full and my seat was about 10 rows back but it was good. When he came on , i stood as did everyone else. But when everyone sat down i remained standing as i wanted to dance as well. No one else remained standing but me. I danced my heart out and finally when he started playing Whole Lotta Shaking Going on did others stand to dance wit me. I had a blast. I had waited a long time to see him perform and he did not disappoint. Jerry Lee was a real entertainer who sang and entertained for many many years even into his 80s. He loved to perform for people. He did not have the voice of Elvis but he had some fun rocking songs. Elvis was the King but Jerry Lee was the Killer.

the definittive only living king of rock'n roll. I seen them both perform in the best of their years and you couldn't make me say who was the greatest entertainer that ever lived. It sent Elvis to an early grave, God rest his sole, and probably will never hear a voice like that again. And The Killer is what he is, what a man.....

the voice used in this video for Elvis is Jimmy "Orion" Ellis. I was a founding member of Jimmy's fanclub in 1984

E had the greatest voice ever. IMO, nobody else could sing rock, country, ballads, gospel, etc-NOBODY was in the same house as the king.

Elvis had it ALL Voice, Charisma, Stage Presence, acting etc. that is why his house is the second most visited place in the U.S. next to the White House. Elvis never toured Europe his whole career either imagined if he had.

This is Jimmy "Orion" Ellis done in 1978 at Sun Studios. I think this is Jerry Lee's recording from the 60s and Jimmy Ellis did this at Sun Studios to try to boost his career. The ironic thing is this is Jimmy Ellis' natural voice and he hated doing this, but he needed the money

"The Killer and the King" it has a truly simple but consumately fitting ring I could have thought of it myself, not to be guilty of self promotion but I thought of just that title way back in the day but to get to the point so to speak, the way you have melded the two performances or facsimle thereof in the case of the King is innovative and skillful Thanks for the effort It certainly gets a thumb up from this humble music fan

RE:Kimmy Stewart...Bullshit. Red West has long been full of it. The Album Songs and Album Credits state that Jimmy "Orion" Ellis accompanied the vocals with Jerry Lee Lewis not Elvis Presley.

Anyone who believes everything Red West say's who was fired by Elvis Presley are the same Tin Foil Hat Wing Nuts like Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones who believe Paul McCartney died in 1966 and Elvis Presley never died in 1977.

Yep, that's not Elvis. It's a great recording, and the resto fo the album ("duets" with an unnamed singer who sounds like Him), but if you listen, the voice sounds just a little TOO MUCH like Elvis... Even the audio quality is different, as if his voice were recorded at a different session. And if you listen to the Jerry Lee release of this song, you can hear that they just pasted the "Elvis" voice over it.
