But he did have a couple of Number One hits in the 50s, yeah I guess you could have called it a watered-down version of Rock and Roll. But who else from that time that had Number One hits is still around?

"Maybe Pat Boone is the only one left."
Iiii don't know if we should be including Pat Boone in the same conversation as Jerry Lee, Elvis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.

A woman saw him behind the frost on her patio door a few years ago. Made it big in the grocery store tabloids.

I saw him the other day with Jim Morrison. Are you in South Africa?
Just kidding.
If true, RIP Jerry Lee.

Johnny Mathis? He was no Rock & Roller, but was one of the crooners.
Neil Sedaka used to be a huge act.

It was sad when he and Dean Martin fell out with each other.
