I've been looking for a photo of Ringo performing on the Jerry Lewis Telethon for years. A long time ago someone was in a lively discussion with me claiming that Ringo did not perform on the Jerry Lewis Telethon in 1979. He only answered the telephones. I said that he did perform. Then I was asked to supply a photograph or video, which I could not do. However --- today I can! Here is Ringo playing the drums at the Jerry Lewis Telethon in 1979.
Hi Sara, this is from the Jerry Lewis telethon. Jerry Lee Lewis is a rock and roller from the 50’s that the Beatles loved. Two different people.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, it's just Jerry Lewis (the comedian), your naming Jerry Lee Lewis (the artist)
ReplyDeleteOops -- I really messed that up didn't I? Confession time. I knew that there was a comedian and a singer both named Jerry Lewis. I know that they are two different people that aren't related. But I honest to God my entire life through they both were named "Jerry LEE Lewis." Two different people with the exact same name. I have ALWAYS called it the Jerry Lee Lewis telethon for M.S. I watched it over Labor Day Weekend for years and years and no one ever corrected me on it. Oops!
