November 1, 2022 – Jerry Lee Lewis

Rock and Roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis died last Thursday, October 28, at the age of 87.  He was an incredible showman, described as “rock and roll’s first great wild man”. His hits include “Great Balls of Fire”, “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”, and “High School Confidential”. His career faltered after a scandal erupted over his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin once removed. But he had a resurgence in the late ’60s and ’70s, switching to country music. At one time he was the most bankable country artist in the world. He was in the inaugural class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. And he was also the last surviving member of the Million Dollar Quartet, which also included Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. Learn more here.
