{Vocal Summary}Truly the last man standing, Jerry Lee Lewis has faced a lot of musical contemporaries in his time. From his buddies back at Sun Records to a world of music he helped create, the Killer has never truly faded away. This is for good reason; although unsung compared to the likes of Presley and Berry nowadays, Jerry Lee is at the heart of rock 'n' roll just the same and defined for generations what that means. Beyond being one of the most influential pianists of the 20th century and let alone his genre, Jerry Lee sang just as often as he played. Despite perhaps not being as well-rounded as others who came from the era, he is known for his no-holds-barred approach to singing that separated him from the rest, especially in more upbeat songs; his unrestrained delivery throughout the 1950s and 1960s helped lay the groundwork for rock singing for decades to come. This can leave much to be desired in slower pieces, however, as Jerry Lee often slurs his diction and lacks particularly good control of pitch (yours truly often likens this side of Jerry Lee's voice to one of a drunkard). As is the case with many singers, Jerry Lee's upper range is where his voice shines, with great belts that only got weightier with age as well as a surprisingly agile falsetto register. Of course, time had worn down his range a fair bit on both ends, as he preferred to stay within his midrange in more recent material. Regardless, Jerry Lee Lewis was for the longest time the last living legend of the Sun Records era of music and a reminder to all modern rock musicians of their roots.

"Circumstantial Evidence"

[Velsarie Vivardesque]

"Great Balls Of Fire" is listed twice in your top.

[clem]

Nice thread! I think you could bold that D2 in "Honky Tonk Wine". He holds it pretty well, and the timbre is warm.

Bold suggestion: The C6 from Johnny B. Goode / Carol.

All right guys, he's dead. This is surprisingly the first time a singer I've made a thread for has died after my having made the thread. I feel I should make a statement.

Look, he was an asshole. I'm not going to be an apologist here. But this is a music forum, and by God did he make some music. The majority of people's tastes here lie outside of his style understandably because, being real, he wasn't an exceptional singer by any technical metric, nor was he an eclectic musician. He had his moments, but I understand why the man's death doesn't really mean anything to a lot of people here. However, I love the guy's music. When you listen to his stuff it's easy to see how big of a pioneer he was and how his style rubbed off on so many of his contemporaries and musical successors. That said, something was often lost in translation; Jerry Lee was a wild personality and just as wild of a musician. He did not give a fuck and he made that sound awesome. Even if his personal life was riddled with bullshit, I still greatly appreciate him and am saddened by his passing. So rest in peace, Jerry Lee. Best wishes to you and those surviving you.

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised nobody else decided to make a vocal range video for him yet.

[Homelander]

There's a brief C♯2 in the song "When the Grass Grows Over Me".

[BAZanine]

It's a D, whatever it is. We've had some people say it's a D2, but I have always heard a slightly crackly D3 and will probably continue to hear that for the rest of eternity as the atoms that once comprised my mortal body are strewn about the cosmos and I become one with the universe.

EDIT: also I completely forgot to mention this, but the possibility was raised that the G2 was spliced in given the pretty weak 'm' sound on it. If that's the case, we might not really be getting a good look at the D2/D3, so to speak.

D5 ("Get Out Your Big Roll Daddy")

That's what she said.

In all seriousness, I think there are some non-melodic G5s in "Meat Man" that could probably be included.
