JERRY LEE LEWIS & ELVIS PRESLEY

JERRY LEE LEWIS & ELVIS PRESLEY

            On 22 November 1976, Jerry Lee Lewis and his wife drive to Elvis Presley’s Graceland home in Memphis. Lewis asks Elvis’s security guard Harold Loyd (who is Elvis’s cousin) that he wants to see Elvis. Loyd tells Elvis was asleep, Lewis thanks Loyd and drives away.

On 23 November at 3am, Jerry Lee Lewis returns to Graceland alone, he is drunk, angry, and has a pistol. He smashes his vehicle into Elvis’s gate and demands to see the ‘King’. Lewis attempts to throw champagne bottles out of the window and smashes them both inside his vehicle. Lewis screams out, ‘tell him I wanna visit him. Who the hell does he think he is? Tell him the Killer’s here to see him.’ Loyd attempts to calm him down.

Elvis is home and watching the commotion on his security screen and rang Loyd to ask him what was going on? And then tells Loyd to call the police. The police arrive at the scene, they find Lewis inside his car with a loaded pistol resting on his knee. The officer ordered Lewis out of the vehicle, Lewis tells him, ‘I just wanted to see Elvis.’ Lewis is wobbly on his feet; slurring and his breath stinks of alcohol. Elvis tells the police to, ‘Lock him up’. Lewis is later released from prison on a bond.

Lewis later said that Elvis had invited him to his home to talk and alleged that the officer gave him the pistol. This isn’t true, Lewis got the pistol at a Memphis nightclub.

Elvis and Lewis knew one another previously after having worked with Johnny Cash. The two men had bumped into each other in 1975 in Las Vegas. Lewis said to Elvis sarcastically, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing – you’re just Colonel Parker’s puppet’. Elvis returned with, ‘Well, if I’m so dumb and you’re so smart, how is it that I’m playing the main room and you’re playing the lounge?’

Elvis died in 1977, Lewis told the press, ‘I was glad [Elvis died]. Just another one out of the way. I mean, Elvis this, Elvis that. All we hear is Elvis’. He then said, ‘Elvis that son of a bitch died on dope… he was a dope addict.’

Music History Today: May 22, 2024

May 22, 1958: Jerry Lee Lewis arrived in London for a tour. Lewis had married his 13-year-old second cousin, Myra Gale Brown. It tanked the tour and sent him back home to America as a pariah.

BOLA DE FUEGO (HOWARD HAWKS, 1941) es una genialidad, una obra maestra de la SCREWBALL COMEDY en la que encontramos a un GARY COOPER en un inusual papel de erudito que trabaja, junto con siete colegas más, en la elaboración de una ENCICLOPEDIA. Al darse cuenta de que su aislamiento y su dedicación extrema les han privado de conocer mejor el lenguaje de la calle, el profesor BERTRAM POTTS decide investigar in situ las expresiones y la forma de hablar populares, encontrando en su camino a SUGARPUSS O´SHEA (BARBARA STANWICK, nominada al OSCAR por esta fabulosa interpretación), cantante de un club nocturno que consigue llamar la atención del buen profesor por sus variopintas explosiones lingüísticas y su irresistible atractivo. Pero ella es además la novia del peligroso gangster JOE LILAC (DANA ANDREWS), y este no está dispuesto a perder a la mujer que puede librarle de la cárcel. ¿Ganará el conocimiento? ¿Ganará el amor? ¿Ganará el mafioso? Descubre esta divertidísima película escrita por el inigualable BILLY WILDER. ^^^Link de YouTube en la bio^^^ #comedy #rko #barbara #balloffire #boladefuego #garycooper #barbarastanwick #billywilder #howardhawks #classic #cinematic #oscars #enciclopedia #teacher #newyork #newjersey #screwballcomedy #jerryleelewis #greatballsoffire #jerrylewis #enciclopedia #wisdom #professor #doctor #drumboogie #oscars #1941 #femmefatale #gangster #goldenageofhollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVzSUSMEHu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"In Memoriam" - 2022

[zigzagderogeliogarza]

El diablo ha muerto. Se apagó a los 87 años junto a su séptima esposa, Judith Coghlan, en Mississippi. En su discurso de los Premios Polar ante el rey de Suecia, Iggy Pop —quien tiene una estupenda versión de “Wild One” en su disco Blah-Blah-Blah— concluyó que su música era “una cuestión de pelotas”. Bolas, la materia incandescente que disparó a Jerry Lee Lewis en forma de “Great Balls of Fire”. Su vida en tres palabras sería: por mis huevos.

JERRY LEE LEWIS & MYRA GALE BROWN

JERRY LEE LEWIS MARRIES HIS 13-YEAR-OLD COUSIN MYRA GALE BROWN

            In 1957, Jerry Lee Lewis secretly marries his third wife, his cousin, aged 13 when he was aged 22. When he married Brown, he was still legally married to his wife Jane Mitcham.

            The marriage initially destroyed his career. Their marriage was discovered in 1958, during his British tour. Ray Berry, a reporter was at London’s Heathrow Airport learned about the marriage. Lewis lied and said that she was aged 15, which wasn’t true. The scandal caused an uproar, and his tour was cancelled after three concerts.

            The couple had two children, in 1962, their son Steve Allen Lewis, 3, drowned in a swimming pool.

            Brown divorced Lewis in 1970, due to ‘subject to every type of physical and mental abuse imaginable.’

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY to Elvis Presley. When he turned 11, his mother Gladys took him to the Tupelo Hardware Company Store and bought him his first guitar: A 1947 Kay flat-top K19. He’d play this guitar throughout his school years and at his first Sun recording session. Also on this day: In 1956 his double-A single “Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog” went to #1 and stayed there for weeks. Fast forward to 1993 and the United States Post Office issued an Elvis Presley stamp. 

Sidebar: 1n 1976 David Bowie demo’d the song “Golden Years” with Elvis in mind to cover it (for unclear reasons Elvis nixed it even after making a demo). Rewind to 1960 when Elvis recorded the song “Black Star” (later re-titled “Flaming Star”). That song directly inspired the Black Star theme of Bowie’s final work, and it’s remarkable that Bowie was also born on the same day as Elvis.

In 2022 Baz Luhrmann released the ELVIS film, a biopic that most people think “got it right,” portraying Elvis as channeling Pentacostal church rapture with juke joint energy into one voice, one vibration. He looms over me, be it through mindful study or cultural resonance—in 1989 I named my back-up The Rover Boys after the surname for The Million Dollar Quartet a.k.a Elvis’s legendary 1956 jam session with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. Like many professional musicians, I started with cover bands playing in bars, and I’m certain I’ve learned many Elvis hits + in my solo set I do gospel songs that he favored.

Elvis’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” is based on “Plaisir d’Amour,” a 1784 French chanson by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini, re-written by hit-making team Hugo & Luigi w/George David Weiss. The lyrics are informed by poet Alexander Pope and Bible verses. I always enjoyed the tune, but when I heard Bob Dylan cover it, I became inspired to play it. Dylan gave it a gospel flair, and that triangulation with God’s love is what I aim for when I do it. Here’s my cover of it with stories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEeb6uPiQWI&t=217s Meanwhile, HB EP
