Jerry Lee Lewis was to accompany Kid Rock, who was singing an old song. Some asked Kid Rock if he had heard of Lewis before the show. Kid Rock said no. Then they did the song. At the end of it, Lewis looked at Rock and said, "That was pretty good." And, I must admit, I agreed.

Seems to have been the start of a collaboration because I just saw a lot of Rock-Lewis videos on You Tube. Here's a version of Whole Lot of Shakin' with them, Willie Nelson, Keith Richards, et al.

One of the comments posted: "Leave it to Kid Rock to screw up this video."
