[Now, as for JERRY LEE LEWIS, not one of whose records I've ever owned (I never really liked the fn*ker) but who can deny he was the first great (white) wild man of Rock?  Here's JERRY LEE at his absurd best in the opener of HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL ...
I think you told me before, but why didn't you like Jerry Lee?  I understand why most people don't (that whole marrying his cousin thing), but I was just curious.  I'm a fan of his music, but not necessarily him as a person, if that makes sense.
Too many unsavory stories; I think he is an awesome performer (I've never seen him live) I just can't stomach looking at 'im...

"I'm so young and you're so old..."   :bouncegiggle:  One of my favorite dumb records...

Hang in there until 38 seconds of swing ends and DICK CLARK's intro starts (or jump ahead) for THE DIAMONDS hit version of "The Stroll"; still a very cool record:

Well in that case, this is the last gasp of an era, #5 September 1964 ("Leader Of The Pack" went to #1 the next month) :

"Get Rhythm" by Johnny Cash, circa about '57 or so.

Don't know if he'd be in that 'early rock' era, as he was country.  But, I'd place him there.  Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Johnny, all those guys had songs that defined genres.  Good stuff.
