Here's a clip of his newest DVD, Last Man Standing, released in March of this year. Gotta give this man credit, he's been going strong for 72 years. Happy birthday Jerry Lee!

October 6th marks the first televised appearance of American Bandstand. I found some interesting trivia concerning the show. It was customary on AB to have Clark perform a mini-interview with the guest band members. Clark says the most difficult interview he performed was with Prince, an unknown at the time of his appearance. Prince was unresponsive and would generally answer his questions with only a hand gesture or a single word. Clark in fact asked Prince how many instruments he played, Prince responded with, "A thousand."
Another famous mini-interview Clark is famous for is one with Madonna, who, when asked what she would like to do 20 years from now, answered coyly, "To rule the world!"
B.B. King and Jerry Lee Lewis were the only recording artists to actually sing on the program. They were uncomfortable with miming their performances and requested that they just perform the songs live on the set. In 1961, Tony Orlando performed his then-hit song "Bless You" with his trousers zipper open!

In 1982, Dottie West, Charlie Rich, The Statler Brothers, Mickey Gilley, who was Jerry's cousin, and Kris Kristofferson came together on TV for "25 Years of Jerry Lee Lewis" . Here's a clip of him and Dottie at their best, singing "Sweet Thang".

Leon was first known mostly as a session musician, and played played with artists as varied as Jerry Lee Lewis, Phil Spector and The Rolling Stones. He had a solo career spanning the genres of rock, blues, and gospel. His first songwriting hit was for Joe Cocker's 1969 "Delta Lady", and Russell went on to organise Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. The man can beat a piano.
He is on tour and I will be seeing him tonight (11-15-07) in Virginia Beach at a fitting venue for his style of music.
