Jimmy Swaggart sings, "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" from his DVD entitled "I've Got The Best Of The Trade". Written by Thomas A Dorsey.
Sam Phillips, the record producer who discovered Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Charlie Rich, wanted Swaggart to start a gospel line for Sun Records and to sign him as their first gospel artist. His cousin Jerry Lee Lewis, who had previously signed with Sun Records, was now reportedly making $20,000 per week. Although the offer meant significant income for his struggling family, Swaggart turned him down stating that he was called to preach the gospel. -Jimmy Swaggart, To Cross a River, Logos International, 1977

Jerry Lee Lewis is one of the founding fathers of Rock 'n' Roll. He was one of the original Sun Records quartet along with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash who between them defined the music of a generation. His recording career has stretched from the mid-50's to the present day and his unique style of piano playing has influenced scores of musicians over the years.
This concert, recorded at London's Hammersmith Apollo in 1989, features "the killer" in performances of his classic tracks such as Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, What I'd Say, High School Confidential and Great Balls Of Fire all delivered in his own inimitable fashion.
Joining him on stage are a great list of guests including Van Morrison, Dave Edmunds, John Lodge, Brian May, Stuart Adamson and Dave Davies.
This track is from the Eagle Vision DVD "Jerry Lee Lewis And Friends", available now.
