Jerry Lee Lewis

A holy roller with a soul forever in turmoil – Jerry Lee Lewis and his music helped spark the imaginations of millions of people in the '50s. His music could be both a sanctified celebration or it could come off like the last party of the sinner, and he looked the part either way. The way he attacked the keys showed people a fury and a passion that was unexpected, mixing up barroom boogie-woogie, gospel, country, and a little thing called rock 'n' roll. His extensive catalog shows him going back and forth between the secular and the non-secular, endlessly trying to find the balance, and in the process, providing the world with one of rock's most captivating legacies.
