Comments Although the label credits Jerry Lee Lewis only, this is actually a duet. At the time many were convinced that the anonymous partner was Elvis Presley, but later it was revealed to be a fabricated duet with Orion. Licensing Request a synchronization license

What was Jerry Lee Lewis's biggest hit?

"Crazy Arms" sold 300,000 copies in the Southern United States, but it was his 1957 hit "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" that shot Lewis to worldwide fame. He followed this with the major hits "Great Balls of Fire", "Breathless", and "High School Confidential".

What is the meaning of the song Save the Last Dance for Me?

The song is about a man telling his sweetheart to enjoy dancing the night away with other men so long as she saves the last one for him. It was inspired by Pomus's wedding to the actress Willi Burke in 1957. At the reception, he sat and watched his beautiful bride dance with other men, including Raoul, his brother.
