As I understand it, Sam Phillips believed that he had two gems but had only the resources to promote one. He chose Jerry Lee's "Great Balls of Fire" which soared to #2 nationally and stayed #2 for four weeks.
The other song that was barely promoted did not chart nationally but was big in some locales. Ironically, Jerry Lee himself handled the piano chores on this other song.
