The wildest star among the first wave of rock & rollers -- not for nothing was he nicknamed "The Killer" -- Jerry Lee Lewis defied the odds and outlived all of his peers, a fate he seemed determined to outrun for a good portion of his long career. He came on like a supernova in the late 1950s, scoring three successive Top Ten singles that crystallized the ferocious excitement of rock & roll. The very titles of "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On," "Great Balls of Fire," and "Breathless" teased their feral, dangerous nature, a fire that Lewis brought out in his live performances where he kicked out his piano stand and performed on top of his instrument. Lewis' fall was as sudden as his rise. Just as he was poised to snatch the crown from Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee fell to earth when the press discovered he'd married his 13-year-old cousin. The scandal altered the trajectory of Lewis' career, pushing him off the pop charts and into honky tonks, places where he could reveal his true gift as a stylist: he made every song, whether it was country, blues, pop, gospel, or rock & roll, sound as if it belonged to him alone. After a few years in the wilderness, a period where he made such exceptional rock & roll as his 1964 live LP Live at the Star Club, Hamburg, Lewis spun this talent into country gold, landing his first country hit in 1968 and then spending the next 13 years regularly reaching the Billboard Country Top Ten. Despite this success, Jerry Lee often returned to rock & roll, first with the 1973 album Southern Roots, then again in 1989, when he recorded the soundtrack to his biopic Great Balls of Fire! He wound up closing out his recording career in the 21st century with a trio of lively records laden with superstar guests who illustrated his long and lasting influence on popular music.
