Jerry Lee Lewis "The Greatest Live Show On Earth" 1964

Was there an early rock & roller who had a wilder reputation than the Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis? His exploits as a piano-thumping, egocentric with an unquenchable thirst for living were the fodder for numerous biographies, film documentaries, and a full-length Hollywood movie...
...Certainly few other artists came to the party with more ego and talent than he and lived to tell the tale. And certainly even fewer could successfully channel that energy into their music and prosper doing it as well as Jerry Lee. When he broke on the national scene in 1957 with his classic "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 eclectic. Ignoring all manner of musical boundaries is something that not only allowed his music to have wide variety, but to survive the fads and fashions as well. Whether singing a melancholy country ballad, a lowdown blues, or a blazing rocker, Lewis' wholesale commitment to the moment brought forth performances that were totally grounded in his personality and all singularly of one piece... - by Cub Koda
