Jerry Lee Lewismusic Legends

Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and pianist, often known by his nickname, The Killer. He has been described as "rock & roll's first great wild man."A pioneer of rock and roll and rockabilly music, Lewis made his first recordings in 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis. "Crazy Arms" sold 300,000 copies in the South, but it was his 1957 hit "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" that shot Lewis to fame worldwide. He followed this with "Great Balls of Fire", "Breathless" and "High School Confidential". However, Lewis's rock and roll career faltered in the wake of his marriage to Myra Gale Brown, his 13-year-old cousin.

Includes "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", "Great Balls Of Fire", and other hits.

With this 3-CD collection you get to hear the original Sun Records recordings of The Killer's best and most popular tunes. When you hear these songs, you begin to understand why his influence on later rock and roll artists is so strong. The Reckless intensity he displays here on such classics as "Whole lotta shakin' goin' on","Breathless", and on such wild and quirky versions of Ray Charles' "What'd I Say", and the old Hank Williams favorite, "Jambalaya", is rarely heard anywhere else in his long and storied career. If you want to find out what all the fuss was about, this collection is a great place to start.

This is a short compilation of 14 hits of Jerry Lee Lewis. A good opportunity for those who only have heard about “The Killer” and who want to know how this Rock’n Roll phenomenon sounded in the 50s and 60s.

79-years old rock-n-roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis continues to thrill an audience with his hits at Acura Stage at the New Orleans Jazz Fest on May 2, 2015.
