Jerry Lee really was so talented and that might’ve been enough to get him to heaven. His personal life is another story.

[@Oceangirl60]

ONLY Jerry Lee asking Jesus to be his Savior and Jerry asking Jesus to wash him clean got that talented man into Heaven.

[@JR-xo5jp]

Amazing that coming from a female ... A adult man sleeping with impressionble below age of consent girls...You ever thought what kind of man desires young girls sexually ...You are a disfrace fACT

[@erinikeuchi6447]

Just imagine the amazing feeling it would be to watch this live and be in their presence. Must have been powerful.

[@FlagwaverFlagwaver]

I’ll fly away 🕊

[@jfv7202]

these guys have more feeling, presence and talent in the nail of their little finger than some modern singers will ever have .....

[@st.joanne]

Preach!!!!

[@reneetherese1963]

Hallelujah! Jerry Lee did get right with God before he passed! ✝️

[@mason-dixonbackyard]

Legends like these guys never die

[@fireworksmuseum]

The last survivor flew away today. Rip Jerry 😥

[@bettytucker8295]

Say what you want. These three OG dudes might not have been saints and led a hard life. But MAN can they THROW DOWN AND SING!!! they'll make you want to get down on your knees, ask God for forgiveness and then jump up with Joy!!! You go boys!!

[@bharvey3214]

Rest in heavily peace Jerry 🙏🌹🎸

[@corneliadenninger5395]

And Carl and Johnny.

[@amrice62]

Musicians with such authenticity - unreal piano playing there! Love to see this

[@Muziekgenot]

When these three men perform this song, the walls of heaven must be cracking.

[@kroakie4]

I can't wait to get to heaven, then! They've got to have some of the best parties up there!

[@maryplaidy6814]

You should hear it sung at an Assembly of God church then you will understand Jerry Lee Lewis. I've heard this song at least a million times over my 65 years of attending church. Proud Southerner down to my toenails.

[@Muziekgenot]

That's a sure thing

[@bettytucker8295]

Muziekgenot I know that's right friend!! And the gates of hell /satan are shaking in thier boots😇😇

[@bettytucker8295]

kroakie4 oh lord I know that's right 😁

[@tommypetersen2540]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the DNA of Rock right there. Can you imagine the stories from these three!? Too bad Elvis was gone by then.

[@ThreeLittleBirds111]

+Tommy Petersen ..Pretty much all the greats of Rock's roots have flown away now ..But not old Jerry Lee He's like that old Ever Ready Bunny ..charged up as ever and still knockin em dead ....

[@tenhirankei]

+Tommy Petersen Elvis did make up part of their Million Dollar Quartet, so they had sung together already. But it is bad that they couldn't make anymore music together-and it was probably beyond beautiful music!

[@daveheidecker3209]

+Tommy Petersen, This is from a live concert performed in 1981 or 1982 in Stuttgart, Germany. There is an album, listed under the title "The Survivors" in reference to The Million Dollar Quartet of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley. Johnny was performing solo, and Jerry and Carl "happened" to drop by and join in. As near as I can tell, this performance was unplanned, and unrehearsed.Toward the end of the performance, they perform "Peace In The Valley" as a tribute to Elvis, followed by "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and "I Saw the Light". Almost all of the songs on the album are available on youtube, if you search under "Survivors" or the individual artists. There are a few videos, like this one, that are floating around as well. These are all worth searching for. I have the album (vinyl) and it is one of my favorites. Good hunting!

[@bettytucker8295]

My God, I play this song over and over every Sunday morning and off and on throughout the week. Yet I never get tired of it. Jerry Lee killer, you sure bang the Holy heck out of that piano. You are the man brother. I love me some Jerry Lee Lewis

[@maritaunosson9631]

Beautiful

[@neilbeech4093]

[@TheDavjo]

[@bettytucker8295]

OMG. I listen to this video ten times a day. I love to watch him rock that piano. I bet everything he did in life was over the top. You rock killer

[@bettytucker8295]

I love you Jerry Lee Lewis. NO ONE PLAYS PIANO AND SINGS LIKE YOU!!! what showmanship you have. I so wish I could meet you in person before you fly away. Killer, you are the king of rock and roll

[@RONRIFFLE.DEIcertified]

Sorry but there was only 1 king of rock and roll.

[@ryanthompson700]

Ray Charles could and he was blind

[@MrTrav1988]

Magnificent. These guys can't be beat

[@yosoypokefanburgh]

One of the best performances that i see in my entire life

[@houdini1972]

In the late eighties While others were getting into Grunge and REM I was listening to this album!

[@williametheridge1764]

[@stevenfairless4931]

They have left us behind ... We will all "Sing a new song" together, it wont seem long.

[@jacobboswell9033]

PRICELESS THE GREATEST EVER R.I.P. JOHNNY CASH

[@corneliadenninger5395]

RIP Carl Perkins!!

[@rcperry2000]

RIP Jerry Lee Lewis!

[@johnschulenberg1]

All they needed in this concert was to have Elvis to fulfill the “Million Dollar Quartet!”

[@pamelathomas4864]

Oh goodness me this is music, real music. Just amazing

[@ricksmusic_laughter]

I'm a Pentecostal and I play piano similar to Jerry Lee, nobody has tried to lead me to the door yet, but rather, stay and play more

[@maryplaidy6814]

There's not another performer in the world that can match the "great" Jerry Lee Lewis.

[@user-hh5rn4jz6o]

One of a kind. One of the greatest things I have heard about the great Jerry Lee - when you hear a song - the FIRST 2 seconds of the piano - you KNOW - it is HIM! Magical.

[@carlosnavarro8181]

The best-Jerry Lee Lewis!

[@kennydobbins9928]

Or Johnny Cash.

[@flyerbob124]

Some of the Royal Court of rock and roll. JLL is the last man standing😎

[@Danny-ju2ip]

Listening to this in 2021 ! Jerry Lee last man standing

[@billyandloriweaver3448]

Badass song

[@Millerfivestar]

That piano is smoking!!!

[@ernieball2324]

I would have liked to see more of Carl Perkins. This video should be titled “ The Half Million Dollar Duo”

[@gsorge6968]

Jerry Lee flew away today. Sad day.

[@zeliasgrand]

Apparently whoever was filming this didn't know (or didn't care) who Carl Perkins was, so poor ol' Carl gets pretty much completely skipped over in this recording, which is a downright shame.

[@albertwells8503]

I totally agree. I noticed that immediately. Carl got very little camera time. That wasn’t right.

[@DJK-cq2uy]

Used to sing this with one of my clients at the state office in NM.She n I enjoyed that beyond measure

[@staysmuth]

Look at me look at me I’m Jerry Lee Lewis !

[@n599]

Fantastic.

[@RosaleeMoore]

Beautiful old hymn! Beautifully done. Loved Jerry Lee's piano playing. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

[@brittd8721]

[@billyandloriweaver3448]

My mom an daddy listing to them now heaven....WOW

[@revgee93]

Preach it! Schwarze Sonne. Everytime they ask Jerry Lee "sing one" Hey plays one and preached The Word. MyMyMy! Allelujah to the Lamb. Like it matters whether someone be rebaptized or not. Glory to God someone gots The Holy Ghost! Whooo. Glory! "That's what it's about" (my quote and My God is Exceedingly Abundantly Above All anyone could fathom. He alone Reigns Supremely Divine and the Host of Heaven proclaim this Every where and Every time!)

[@alainzilka1018]

Superbe morceau !

[@pierreponnet1628]

JUST GREAT THANKS

[@johncashtributes]

Awesome

[@jmiller3579]

Soar high gents!

[@sarasmith2648]

I'm not sure about Carl Perkins, but Johnny and JLL did every drug known to man, and did a lot of women, too. And here they are singing gospel. I am NOT criticizing, those 2 are actually my favorite, even over Elvis. I just think it's interesting that perhaps as they got older, their eventual mortality probably started to weigh on them. People seem to chill as they get older. They also grew up singing gospel. But as the great JLL once said, "If I'm going to hell, I'm going playin a pianah." I've seen that old man live 3 times, and got to dance with my dad. He always played Jerry Lee records when I was growing up.

[@fa5812]

Sara Smith 7

[@Drakelx55]

I can tell you one thing, Johnny cleaned up his act by the late 60’s with a little help from June Carter. After that he really was a good man, and he was till the day he died

[@vearlchase5767]

Very Great.

[@lauriej.5706]

If Jerry Lee doesn't get into Heaven, I'm going to consider a boycott.

[@kathyhenderson1950]

[@danthomps7618]

anyone now where and when this was recorded? so I can search for more songs. I was raised southern baptist in a small rural Appalachian town, we sang songs lie this every Sunday

[@cheyenneshawnee1466]

Bless you, Dan Thomps

[@danthomps7618]

Clayton Ga, then Blairsville GA both touristy retirement towns now, but in the late 60s , before welfare and unemployment etc etc it was just dirt poor hillbillys trying not to starve . went to school with the banjo boy that was in the Deliverance movie

When was this recorded

[@christiangarage]

1981

[@1963Austria]

Am rather sure if a person and a song like this, in a Pentecostal, Apostolic, Nazarene, they would lead you to the door. Now for Southern Baptist, no. This is how to play gospel music.

[@SingingOwl1]

Bryan Stollings Nope. I'm a Pentecostal minister, and I love it. :D

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

Bryan Stollings I don't attend church and I love this.

[@1963Austria]

[@filoIII]

You a pastor?

[@cavendishlung-sukki1082]

Jerry could use some color in his cheeks. Get outside, man.

[@BR-jf9sh]

this was just a few months before jerry lee almost died from a stomach ulcer that ruptured..When that happened, they gave him less than 5% chance of survival, that was in 1981, but of course, here we are in 2021, and the Killer is still with us.....If you think that he was pale in his face, yeah, of course he was---the man was dying and didnt know it at the time.....
