Legacy
His grandson, Jason Coleman, inherited his grandfather's skill on the piano, performing with him on television and in concert at a young age. At age 17, he played "Please Help Me, I'm Falling", the first song to feature Cramer's signature slip notes, with Hank Locklin at the Grand Ole Opry, and two years later played piano for the Medallion ceremony at Cramer’s induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He is currently carrying on his grandfather's legacy with a series of recordings and a tribute concert, The Legacy of Floyd Cramer, sharing the piano arrangements and story of Cramer's contributions to American music while on tour throughout the country.
