"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On" is a song, written by African American singer/songwriter Dave "Curly" Williams and white pianist/singer Sunny David. Before the famous version was recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1957, the song had been recorded in completely different styles by "The Commodores" (no relation to the '70s Motown group), Big Maybelle, Delores Frederick, and by co-writer Roy Hall (Sunny David). It has become a rock and roll standard, recorded by many performers of the genre including Elvis Presley, Bill Haley & His Comets,Cliff Richard, Little Richard, and even by other bands such as the prog rock group Uriah Heep.

Jerry Lee Lewis' version of the song is ranked as the sixty-first greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. In 2005 it was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress.
