I was raised on plenty of the rock n roll greats, but Jerry is by far my favorite! Before the days of computers and autotune, musicians operated on raw talent. Which is why their music is alive and well, and today’s music is trash.
Hi Jerry-Lee; I am a 76 year old keyboard player. I studied classical music until I was 16 but got way more interested in girls and cars. My dad taught me a basic boogie-woogie riff when I was eight years old and I was hooked. I was a shy kid but I could always play the piano and people listened. I have played in many bands over the years but I made my living as a photographer; and even though I failed every grade in school, I ended up as a University Professor teaching media arts, photograph etc. I had quite severe learning disabilities that I only found out about 10 years ago, explained a lot. Just go back from the local Legion (Canadian war vets association all over Canada). Belted out Great Balls of Fire, beer appeared on the top of the piano. Thanks for the music, thanks for the inspiration and thanks for being you ( Oscar Wilde said “You may as well be yourself, everyone else is taken”. Rock on, warm regards, Jim Chambers, Ontario, Canada
An old friend of mine in the ’80s used to tour with Jerry for awhile as a guitarist and his stories of touring with him, as well as with his own band later on hitting the honkytonks, are some great memories, His name was Tom Parker and he left an impression with me through his many stories of this and many other things he had experienced. Sadly, Tom passed away at about 49.
My great grandfather had gone to Texas, and had another family his last name was Walls, and my uncle said that he returned but would never say anything about it. I saw you way back in 69 at the what’s it’ a show for youth put on by a Father Shimth S.C, Ca. Blew my mind, Rock and Roll from that time forword. Took me a while to figure it out, and would love to tell you how I finely did sometime; Stay Strong and Carry On… SlConn
Hi there a Jerry And peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you brother and in the heart of rock ‘n’ roll itself and for my poor heart itself I wish you great health and peace as we travel along this ok’ rocky road! Today I played for the first time a copy of your first son Record and I am an avid collector of all your albums and a musician myself and got to see you in Greenville South Carolina just a little while back right before this terrible virus came through! Keep rockin killer and we send much love from South Carolina🌞
Peace to you always in the love of Christ Jesus,
Bradley C.
you are the greatest pianist of all time! I adore you forever! You are very lucky to have been part of Sun Records from the start with Elvis! I’m 70 years old and I’ve been listening to you since the 60’s! I wish you a very happy birthday 🎊🎉🎁🎈🎂 🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂with Judith who adores you, very good health and being at the piano until the age of 120!

Dear Jerry Lee,
We are a Rock & Roll band called The PrimaDonna Reeds located in NYC on the Lower East Side. We’d be happy to host you to do a show with us, including room and board in my townhouse near Central Park (that my mother left me). Come on FEEL THE NOISE! Let us know. Keep on ROCKING!
Jerry Lee, I am just 27 years old but I can say that you have been a huge part of my childhood. I would play your songs repeatedly at the mere age of 6 years old and even inspired me to play the piano in the hopes of playing some of your legendary songs! Hopefully I am lucky enough to see one of your shows, it would be an amazing accomplishment for me and honor.
Sir:
Keep on rockin .Keep on shakin. You are the killer…I’m a kid to you yet I am 72 years of age. Your songs were some of the first I heard as a youngster..Great balls of fire.
I hope you are in good health.
Thanks for making the music you have made sir.
Peace and love to you.
Sincerely, Raymond
I’m young, just 35 years old but I grew up listening to Jerry Lee Lewis all the time. I recently inherited a piano that the previous owners said Jerry Lee Lewis played! How neat I can tell my kids they’re learning on a piano once played by one of the greats! I’ll always think of you when my piano is played.
JERRY LEE LEWIS, I HAVE LISTENED TO YOUR WONDERFUL TALENT SINCE 1955 ! I am only five years younger than you. You have been a big part of my life for 66 years! What a wonderful talent…. that piano is alive when you play. When I was a kid I listened to you in my bedroom for hours ! You helped me through difficult teenage years. I love you and your amazing talent. How lucky we all are to have been blessed with you in our lives.
i’ve watched pianists in Europe who learned from you and were inspired by you. God Bless You! Waylesy
I saw your video on Facebook. I love your music and my son who is 27 loves your music as well. I wish you well sir and wish that we could have seen you in concert. From Eastland, TX
I was 8 yrs old when I started singing and playing music at that time you were my favorite your you win again best cover . I’m 70 now still when I sing your songs people go crazy Thank you for being the KILLE.

hi i am 27 and from England my dad brought up me on your amazing music, and too see all these years later you music is still going and as amazing as it was when you 1st started!
My dad actually met you once in England (croydon) between 1972/1978 with his friend who was doing an article about you for the rock pile magazine and he knew my dad idolised you so he brought him to meet you as it was his biggest dream to meet you. unfortunately the nerves got the better of him and he froze up not being able to speak his biggets regret was not talking to you and getting an autograph, but he has always said it was the biggest honour to be in your presence. thank you for your amazing music. you are a complete legend!!!
I’ve been a fan of Jerry’s since 1957 and still am. Last Man Standing is in my car CD player as I write this. I was lucky enough to see him in person 3 times. The very first time I went with 3 friends to see him in San Jose Ca. but we didn’t have enough money between us for all 4 of us to get in. I wanted to leave one of them in the car while 3 of us went inside but that got voted down, so no one got to see him that night. Bad thing was we could hear him from outside in the parking lot. (that must have been around 1959-60)
