3.06.1963. Jerry played Europe again 6 may 1963 to 3 june 1963.
It was a succes though payments were low and he only touched 8.500 $ for the 20 dates that he played.
After paying everything and every one he kept 100 $ dollars for himself. With this amount he could only go fishing in a lake and drink water.

HERUNDER GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY -PARIS OLYMPIA - AUDIO AND A PHOTO - HAS ANYONE LIVE IMAGES ? THIS WOULD BE GREAT.
30.06.1965. Jerry made his 4th appearance on the dance program of Englishman Jack Good.
He sang again 4 songs and one was his 4th millionseller HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL.
The rendition is very good and clear.
I see only Jerry and no other musicians, it looks live, certainly Jerry's voice and piano.
Jerry was very succesful in this program and it brought him back in the spotlights, but we have to wait untill 68 for a complete break, but than country.

19.03.1964 -WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN' GOING ON - MANCHESTER
19.03.1964.Granda TV show with the title Whole lotta shaking gong on. He sang 6 numbers and this number was the grand finale.
It was a very wild performance and a very long version with Jerry at the end on top of the grand piano shouting minutes and minutes SHAKE BABY SHAKE SHAKE BABY SHAKE ........ and almost throwing his tie in the public, but holding on to it because he said he only had one.
The public went totally crazy and they wanted more, more, more but Jerry got exhausted after all those minutes.
Jerry continued as long as he could but collasped in his dressing room afterwards.
The press called it the wildest Rock 'n roll show ever.
Musicians : Jerry Lee Lewis : piano + vocals, backed by the British group The Nashville Teens.

Jerry Lee Lewis, at 17 years, and his all time friend, Cecil Harrelson, drove late june 52 from Ferriday to New Orleans with the bus. Jerry wanted to cut a record to have something to present to the people that organized shows.
They drove there without their parents kwowing of it.
They went to J&M Recording Studios on Dumaine and Rampart. They met COSIMO MATASA and paid 2 $ for a 78 rpm record.
Jerry recordered, alone at the piano, "NEW ORLEANS BOOGIE" an own composition for the occasion.
He also recorderd "DON'T STAY AWAY 'TILL LOVE GROWS COLD" a 1952 hit for LEFTY FRIZELL.
They drove back with the bus to Ferriday the next morning, before the posse formed, and handed over the disk to their family.
