    Easy, the even better than Jerry Lee's version of "Whole Lotta Shakin'
    Goin' On" by Roy Hall.

    The Jerry Lee would be better without the slowed down middle part where
    he is just talking.

    I guess Maybelle might quibble as to whether the "Whole Lotta
    Shakin'..." number actually belongs to Jerry Lee but whatever...I can't possibly agree re the (earlier) Roy Hall version

    Jerry's version is my #1 record of 1957 and a 10 all day long whereas
    Roy's lesser version is just a mid table 7 in 1955

    Here's a genuine Jerry Lee song and a version by another artist

    Personally I've never cared much for "Let's Talk About Us" in either version---by Jerry Lee
    or in this case by Billy Riley (also recorded for Sun) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e68thWimU8M
