Biography

Is there an early rock & roller who has a crazier reputation than the Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis? Certainly few other artists came to the party with more ego and talent and lived to tell the tale. And certainly, even fewer could as successfully channel that energy into their music and prosper. When he broke on the national scene in 1957 with "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," he was every parents' worst nightmare perfectly realized: a long, blonde-haired Southerner who played the piano and sang with uncontrolled fury and abandon, while simultaneously reveling in his own sexuality. He was rock & roll's first great wildman. ~ Cub Koda
