Jerry's own Directing & Acting Awards span many Countries. France, Italy, UK, Holland, etc. all honored Mr Lewis as not only a great comedic performer, But an A+ Top, creative film Director.   

Music: A Big part of Jerry's Life from the beginning: He Learned Song, Dance & Style via his Vaudeville Dad. Later oft surrounded by major singer/musicians/composers (Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Count Basie, Al Jolson, Leroy Anderson & other musical stars Jerry fit everywhere. But, Most touching Among Jerry's many fun, warm, touching past strips shown- Was a 3-Generation Family singing duo's of a Dad and his treasured Son.. 1st Jerry as Son sings with his Dad. Then Jerry had become the Dad singing wi his own son...Surely a Show-Stopper, especially on Jerry's BirthDay!!

In Music-Jerry Lewis knocks us silly by his shapes & putty-body for each instrument & leading Count Basie Big  Band Jazz Orchestra.  Jerry's Rhythmic TIMING+Humor Brings to Comedic Life: Leroy Anderson's Delightful "The Typewriter" song!

Jerry's deep devotion to the touching meaning of His SOUL helping others in need-- "You'll Never Walk Alone" has become his own "Signature Song" Sung at the closing of his decades of Labor Day Unique Muscular Dystrophy Telethons-A US must.  

Q&A: Ah,Jerry's Question-&-Answer Period: Dozens of folks raced to get in 2 lines at each sides of aisles - anxiously waiting for turns to tell Jerry, how much they grew up shaped by his works, & asking about their favorite films, songs, TV or Radio Shows. This brought great funny questions, & even funnier Answers from Jerry, who had to kid-them along!, or we'd still all be sitting their, listening to their heartfelt feelings & requests for hugs, kisses, singings & more!

Jerry's favorites through the years: People Jerry knew in showbiz, thinking Highly Of & Salutes:  Henny Youngman (1906-1998)--Outstanding timing comic--always made people laugh with his twisted meanings & sharp Delivery. Todie Fields--a great woman Comedienne/Singer loved by all, but died at only 48 due to bad health amidst all her humor. As for  Dean Martin, he was 8 years older than Jerry & lived till 1995.  Jerry, may have felt hurt at the break-up when they were so super a popular success, but Jerry deeply speaks about Dean having been a great positive part of Jerry's getting a strong start in the stardom world. He is more like a brother who was a great help, but all brothers do argue in lifetimes. Jerry ran a film of the many year's later reunion of Jerry & Dean on a Telethon. Frank Sinatra, friend of both brought Dean there. Jerry called this the most touching film moment in his career. Jerry also said Sinatra was about the most generate, caring man he met in Show-Biz. As for his fav all around showman performers, Jerry's an Al Jolson super fan. As for great people beyond Show-Biz, Jerry pointed to JFK & Robert Kennedy as two truly great Americans. Marilyn Monroe, a very dear person as well as beautiful just had a hard Life. & Hooray for his Telethon Kids--Never give up & always look forward to a better future & appreciated all who cared and helped them!

Speaking for caring-Jerry Worked Long & Hard in his Annual Telethons for His Kids Fighting Muscular Dystrophy(grossed over $2Billion Wow)
