Jerry Lee managed to follow his mega-hit "Great Balls Of Fire" with yet another blockbuster from the pen of Otis Blackwell. "Breathless" is another wild performance, complete with a heavy breathing hook that grabbed more than its share of disposablee teenage income. The song's structure is less than typical, and far from the blues and country music on which Jerry Lee cut his teeth. Although Jerry's piano plays a less central role here than ever before, the artist still manages to make this performance his own. Jerry's Louisiana pronunciation of "You know I 'doin' like a wood in flame" is a delight. Reached number 7 on the Billboard's Pop charts; at number 3 on the Billboard's Rhythm and Blues Charts, and number 4 on Billboard's Country and Western charts. This song was a calculated shot at the pubescent market, with Jerry's breathy delivery of the title as its hook. "Breathless" moved up the charts with the help of a ploy devised by Jud Phillips and Dick Clark. Beechnut chewing gum had sponsored the networking of Dick Clark's "Bandstand" show, but initial response was unfavorable until Jud and Dick Clark figured out how to kill two birds with one stone with a crosspromotion deal. Jerry Lee Lewis sang "Breathless" on "The Dick Clark Show". (HD) Name (Or. No. Of Instruments) Jerry Lee Lewis - Vocals and Piano Roland Janes - Guitar Billy Riley - Guitar Jay W.

PHILLIPS AND/OR JACK CLEMENT "GO! GO! GO! (DOWN THE LINE)" Composer: - Roy Orbison Publisher: - B.M.I. - Hi-Lo Music Incorporated Matrix number: - U 290 - Master (2:11) Recorded: - January 16-18, 1957 Released: - February 17, 1958 First appearance: - Sun Records (S) 78/45rpm standard single SUN 288-A mono DOWN THE LINE / BREATHLESS (2) Reissued: - 1996 Bear Family Records (CD) 500/200rpm BCD 15803-1-20 mono THE SUN SINGLES COLLECTION - VOLUME 3 More serious rockabilly fans were instantly enamored with "Down The Line", of course a reworking of Roy Orbison's timeless "Go Go Go", which had adorned the flipside of Orbison's 1956 hit "Ooby Dooby". True to his edict, Sam Phillips selected a take that was long on feeling, if a bit short on technical perfection. From the first eight bars, you know this is a good one. Jerry's tight little combo cooks beautifully with the bass and guitar complementing his piano boogie. But then the seams start to show. Jerry Lee demonstrates his well known flair for blowing lyrics and ends up mumbling his way through the chorus. Worse yet, by the fourth bar of the solo, it has become painfully obvious that the guitarist has gone rather woefully out of tune. If you don't look too closely, this record is very exciting, especially if you don't mind your excitement tinged with sloppiness. (HD) Name (Or.
