In a memorable moment from The Monkees TV special 33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee (1969), Fats Domino, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Brian Auger pose with their pianos stacked up. Brian attests that these shots were candid and not staged.
33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee is a television special starring the Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969. The musical guests included Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, the Clara Ward Singers, the Buddy Miles Express, Paul Arnold and the Moon Express and We Three.
