History
Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-2022) was an American rock and roll and rockabilly pianist and singer from Ferriday, Louisiana, who emerged in the mid-1950s at Sun Records in Memphis alongside Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins. Nicknamed "The Killer," he built his sound around ferocious, pounding piano playing paired with a wild, shouted vocal style, breaking through in 1957 with "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire," both million-sellers. His stage act was famous for its showmanship, including playing standing up and once reportedly setting his piano alight during a performance. His career was derailed in 1958 when British press revealed he had married his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown, sparking a scandal that got him blacklisted from radio for years; he rebuilt his career in the 1960s and 70s as a country hitmaker. He was a first-class cousin of televangelist Jimmy Swaggart and country singer Mickey Gilley, and in 1986 was among the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
