R.I.P Jerry Lee Lewis (1935 - 2022)

Jerry Lee Lewis, piano-bashing rock ‘n’ roll founding father, swaggering country shouter and the last surviving member of the inaugural class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has died. His death was announced on Friday Oct. 28. He was 87.

Lewis is best known for recording such rock standards as “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Breathless” and “High School Confidential.”  Interestingly, both “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On” and “Great Balls of Fire” have been named to the Grammy Hall of Fame.
