I much prefer this actual live version from the Steve Allen show. 1957

Just reading about him and a bit of controversy:
—
Lewis’s turbulent personal life was hidden from the public until a May 1958 British tour where Ray Berry, a news agency reporter at London’s Heathrow Airport (the only journalist present), learned about Lewis’s third wife, Myra Gale Brown. She is Lewis’s first cousin once removed and was 13 years old when they married—though Lewis, who was 22 years old at the time, claimed she was actually 15. The publicity caused an uproar, and the tour was canceled after only three concerts

Great musician, questionable human being.

Didn’t he wreck a very fine ($$$$) concert piano when he played it?

Ascending and descending glissandos with a foot can do that.

I was a young dude in the 60s, loved much of the pop music, but never a JLL fan.
Fine with me that you were, however.

Personal memory. As a kid in elementary school the class could give one person a Christmas present through a name drawing. The classmate begged me to use the 50 cents limit to give him the 45 rpm single of Great Balls of Fire. I did. He thought it was the ultimate in music.
Better than 5— 10 cent comic books. Or two— 25 cent “giant” ones.

I have a lot of his music. Like his version of Chantilly Lace.

An unknown--and uncredited--Jerry Lee Lewis plays the piano on this blues song, which came out just before he started making hits.

Jerry said this country song is the first song he ever recorded on Sun Records, in 1956.
