Jerry Lee Lewis says Elvis Presley felt the two were competitors when they were rock 'n' roll pioneers in the 1950s.
Lewis, still performing, recorded hits including "Great Balls of Fire," was asked in an interview Friday on cable's The Nashville Network whether he felt like the two were in competition."He did, but I didn't, no," Lewis replied on the "Music City Tonight" program.
"Elvis was a great person and a very electrifying entertainer," Lewis said. "He was a good friend of mine. And we had good times. And it just seems like yesterday, and it was back 35 years ago."
