Rock 'n' Roll: Jerry Lee Lewis, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

Rock 'n' Roll is a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily from a combination of blues, country music and gospel music.
Jerry Lee Lewis, also known as "The Killer", was one of the greatest rock artists of the time. In this video we can see him playing the piano, singing, and dancing! He's doing everything at the same time! Isn't it amazing? Enjoy the rythm!



Once you've watched the video, answer the following questions:

1. What do you think about his style? Describe his haircut and clothes.

2. Do you find any similarities or any differences with Elvis "the Pelvis"? Have a look to this link:
