Jerry Lee Lewis was on TJ Hooker 40 years ago!

He "died" earlier this week, too.
I guess he was probably the last of those pioneering 50's rockers, which included Chuck Berry, Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Little Richard.

Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from October 31st, 1981 will be on this weekend... "You know, in popular music different influences often combine to create a new sound, for example, in ELO's current hit, I can hear a little bit of Elvis Presley in the lead vocal, some Beatle harmonies and, a touch of Jerry Lee Lewis at the piano, here they all are at #33 with, Hold on Tight, ELO" May Jerry Lee Lewis rest in peace!

In August, my son and I visited Sun Studios in Memphis, where Elvis got his start and where Jerry Lee Lewis recorded early in his career. We noticed that Jerry Lee also owned a club on Beale Street, the main tourist and music entertainment district in Memphis. My son, who is quite a talented pianist, was amazed after our tour when I showed him videos of "The Killer" in concert, with all of his antics while he played piano and sang. He had a pretty wild life, but was an undeniable and indomitable talent...a huge loss for the music world.

Although my favourite rock and roller was Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis was quite the legend and Procol Harum knew how to celebrate him -
