Episode 1 begins with the distorted, over-amped, amphetamine-fueled face of 'The Killer,' as you'll never see him again; looming, red-faced, in a fish-eyed, demonic visage, where it sees him through until Episode 13, in interviews, sodden in whiskey-soaked pill-pride.

Tony Palmer's ultimate depiction of the Killer on his Golgotha.
You can see him and sister, Linda Gail, sing "Speak A Little Louder To Us Jesus," thanks to Tony Palmer - British documentarian, without compare, who committed to an ambitious project.
He planned, in 1976, a book that would tell the history of popular music (ALL OF IT) -- All You Need Is Love (John Lennon told him it would be a great title). The book never came to be, but through the contacts of Lennon, Palmer with the BBC, produced the largest Rock Documentary of the last thirty years.

Here, Palmer talks about shooting images of Jerry Lee Lewis for what would be, All you need is love (Episode Thirteen: Hail! Hail! ROCK 'N' ROLL):
"When I went to interview Jerry Lee Lewis in Las Vegas, he wasn't performing on a stage, or even a riser, but in the entrance of the Holiday Inn.
All you need is love was released in 1977 (don't forget, a program paying tribute to legendary architects of Rock was more than controversial, it was not considered pertinent).
And only because of him do we witness performances such as this, featuring iconic figures blowing through the fucked-up, lean days of disfavor, caution to the wind, for the ultimate exhibition of their art form--unmuddied, undiluted, and undiminished by their plight.

SHOT AT NORTH HOLLYWOOD'S "PALOMINO CLUB" HONKY-TONK, AUGUST 16, 1976, THIS 12-PART SERIES FILMED FOR BBC IN 1976 REMAINS THE GREATEST OF ALL JERRY LEE LEWIS DOCS EVER CAPTURED, FEATURING PERFORMANCES OF ROARIN' AMPHETAMINE AND WHISKEY-FUELED ABANDONMENT: 'SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER TO US JESUS,' 'WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN' GOIN' ON,' AND 'WINE WINE WINE'
