“This Shakespeare was really somethin’, I wonder what he would’ve thought of my records?”
~Jerry Lee Lewis on literature
One of the early pioneers of rock and roll music, Jerry Lee Lewis is an American music icon and a rockabilly legend. Known as God’s Garbageman, Lewis entertained audiences across the country with his irreverent style of piano-based rhythm and blues. Paving the way for artists like the Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn, George Thorogood, and Kid Rock with his razor sharp sound, Lewis was a rock and roll genius. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #24 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. A year earlier, they listed his box set “All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology” #242 on their list of “500 greatest albums of all time”.
There will never be another like him.
