...whole lotta shakin'goin' on ...Today in rock history, in 1957, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" enters the Top Forty, remaining there for 20 weeks. The song gets a boost when Jerry Lee Lewis performs it on The Steve Allen Show on July 28. It peaks at #3 and tops the country and R&B charts. Probably 'nuff said about ol' Jerry Lee and his various scandals, so let's just focus on the music. Here's that original performance from 1957, and a funky cover of this tune, done by George Clinton in 2001. Check 'em out, and keep on rockin'!
