Jerry Lee Lewis "Classic Jerry Lee Lewis" The Definitive Edition Of His Sun Recordings 1956-1963 / disc 6

WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN did NOT jump up the charts without it's share of problems, however. Initially, the record was BANNED by some broadcasters, who said they would never play such rude, risque, and vulgar material!..…Although not erotic by today's standards[ if today we have ANY LEFT, when it comes to the records played on the radio NOW] the song was scorned by some parents who thought it was just TOO SUGGESTIVE, shocking, and disgusting. They said at the time, in 1957, that "this was the most risque record that they had ever heard" Jerry Lee Lewis himself later recalled. It was Jerry Lee Lewis' FIRST CLASH with the establishment, and his first bitter taste of negative PRESS... but NOT HIS LAST. Next, Jerry Lee and Sam Phillips set their sights on Television...and the huge sales a Hit record would enjoy coupled with a successful appearance on a popular show. Just as ELVIS had done before him, Jerry Lee was set to appear on the STEVE ALLEN show in NEW YORK CITY. Jerry Lee made his first of several appearances on July 28, 1957. He performed CRAZY ARMS and WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN. The latter had previously been BANNED FOR BROADCAST by BMI. Sam Phillips' partner JUD PHILLIPS had successfully petitioned BMI to lift the ban, since there was no stopping Jerry Lee and his SHAKIN song from being heard all over the country that hot summer night in 1957.trax disc 6:

This has been just the BEST series! Wayyy back when Elvis was the rage, mine was Jerry Lee Lewis. Man oh man, he was the one that had my feet going and never wanting to stop. There were so many artists, then and now, that are great to "watch" but not so much just to listen to, but Jerry Lee had it all. I'm 71 now and he still gets me going :D
Thank you so, so much for doing this series --- 2 discs to go, hot dog!
