Great, wild rockin' performance by the Killer!About Jerry Lee Lewis drummer Jimmy Van Eaton says; "He's a great entertainer and he doesn't get near the recognition he should for his vocals, I think he's an excellent singer. Those country things he did where he could really sing and get into the song, "Another Place Another Time," "She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye," and "What Made Milwaukee Famous," that's great stuff. Oh yeah. As a matter of fact, I listen to his stuff all the time, whether I played on it or not. I like a lot of that stuff. I don't know if you heard that song in the "Great Balls Of Fire" movie "Lucky Old Sun?" Man, that's great singing."Back in the fifties, when they started recording Jimmy Van Eaton, Roland Janes, Jerry Lee and Martin Willis had very little, if any, arrangements; "With Jerry, you just hung after him, man! As Jimmy recalls: "Crazy Arms", from his first recordings at the legendary Sun Studio, we only did that one time, just the drum and the piano. We didn't even have any other instruments on there. And then "Whole Lotta Shakin'" was only cut one time. So, we didn't have any rehearsal time, there wasn't any "Let's go work this up." Jerry Lee might say "I'm going to do it in this key." Then he'd just start playing, and then Roland would just play along a little bit on his guitar until he got the feel of it, then you'd be ready to go!

Nov 18, 2008 - This is a great video! I only had a portion of this on my official Jerry Lee vhs video that came out in the late 1980s. I even played the limited audio on my own fm oldies show at that time. Interesting Jimmy Van Eaton interview that you've included. Too bad he lost some credability when he said "Whole Lotta...." was only cut once. There are several Sun outtakes available from the Bear Family & Charly labels.

Nov 18, 2008 - I believe this is the only time Dick Clark ever had a live performance on his Saturday night show!
Rotis59 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I meant to add to my previous post that on Dick Clark's Saturday night tv show which is where Jerry did this number all performances were usually lip-synched with their records - not sung or performed live.
