Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On - Jerry Lee Lewis - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Even though it was widely popularized by pianist Jerry Lee Lewis, the rock and roll classic "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (also known as "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On") was first recorded by American R&B singer Big Maybelle in the mid-1950s. Written by Dave "Curlee" Williams with additional credits to club owner James Faye "Roy" Hall, the song's first-ever version was conducted and arranged by Quincy Jones and released through Okeh Records in 1955. That year, Roy Hall also released his own version of the song, which helped him secure legal copyright as co-writer. In 1957, Jerry Lee Lewis' lascivious, boogie-flavored performance of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" reached Number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 1 on the R&B and country charts, quickly becoming one of the biggest hits of his career. The single was also hugely successful in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at Number 8 on the Official UK Singles Chart.
