Bill Fulton on keys or piano with The Martin & Lewis Tribute Show

Bill Fulton with The Martin & Lewis Tribute Show featured Fulton on piano in a live tribute production starring Tom Stevens and Tony Lewis. Stevens appears in the Dean Martin role, while Lewis portrays Jerry Lewis, bringing together two individual tribute performances in a show based on the famous musical-comedy team.

Tony Lewis had spent years developing his Jerry Lewis tribute before the partnership with Stevens took shape. That background became one half of a production designed around the sharply different personalities associated with the original duo. Jerry Lewis supplied the broad comic energy, while Dean Martin brought the vocal style and cool stage presence that balanced it.

The resulting show draws on the period when singers, comedians and variety performers often shared the same stage. That context gives the production a strong connection to classic nightclub and showroom entertainment. It also gives live music an important place within the overall presentation.

Fulton performed at the piano for the production. The credit fits within his wider record of live keyboard work while remaining distinct from his separate activities as an arranger, composer and orchestrator. His additional performance history is collected on the keyboardist and pianist credits page.
