The first 45 i bought was GREAT BALL OF FIRE in 57 > (Hell yes I still have it) Love The Killer, one of my all-time favorites. have seen him perform twice, way back in the 60-70 !!
while there are undoubtably technically more accomplished piano players,no one, BUT NO ONE,p;ays piano like Jerry Lee.He has a knack of utilising the keyboard,which in other people just woudnt sound right,but with him its effortless.The way he has transformed his carreer after being blacklisted by radio shows in the early years shows just how determined,and what an accomplished artisit he is.Other people have tried to play like him,but no one has ever captured his unique style .Their has never been another like him,and never will be.It will be a sad day when he is no longer with us.
I know somebody that plays like him, Linda Gail Lewis

I used to think you were a great performer until I read the Rolling Stone article about the deaths of your fifth and fourth wives respectively, Shawn Stephens Lewis and Jaren Gunn Pate Lewis, and your treatment of them and others. Am even more surprised you are still living.
Yes, I haverecords by Jerry Lee. When I was born, he was already touring but I’ve always got an “electric” charge when I would hear him play. He’s one of the greats…..Jerry Lee…Billy Joel…Ben Folds…Leon Russel………..they’re all Killers of the keyboard.
Was a big fan of yours until just recently reading that you abused your life partners. Jerry, with all your talent, there is just no reason for abusing another human being. Will continue to enjoy your music but very disappointed in you personally.
