Ray Charles -vs- Jerry Lee Lewis

[Billy Costigan]

who guy do you think is the better piano player/singer?

 

[GahLee]

By a landslide. It's Ray.

 

[superdave1984]

Billy please. Do some research before starting these things. Ray Charles = amazing talent. JLL was just another rock and roll singer. Ray changed the game.

 

[orangeblooded2]

Ray Charles.

 

[Slydell]

The Genius!! By a country mile. Like 'em both, but Ray is the man.

I wonder what we'd think of JLL if he hadn't married his 12 year old cousin, or whatever. Ray, though. Easily.

find anything by Jerry Lee Lewis that even compares to this:

[Slydell]

This is the version of how he did it the last 5 years or so before his death. Seeing him do this live will send chills up anyone's back.

[Slydell]

Watch the whole thing, but especially his sax solo around 2:10.

Two legends staring at The Genius. Willie stares in awe, I think, and just gets torn up listening to Ray.

Ray Charles was a drug addict.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Since he was a drug addict, Ray Charles.

 

[GahLee]

Ray Charles was a drug addict.

Many great artists are, Jerry married his 12 year old cousin.

I'd rather be a herion addict.

Alabama fans would think less of him.

 

[AirVol]

Alabama fans would think less of him.

I doubt it

 

[Coach Grizz]

Ray Charles was a drug addict.

And Jerry married his cousin, what else you got?

 

[Coach Grizz]

Ray by a country mile

 

[Coach Grizz]

Alabama fans would think less of him.

Other than the Bear he's their hero.
