Jerry Lee Lewis| 85

Jerry Lee Lewis has a stellar career. He was referred to as the first great wild man of rock & roll. Lewis was the pioneer of rockabilly music and rock and roll. You might have heard of him being referred to as The Killer during the height of his impressive career. Among his greatest hits were Great Balls of Fire, Crazy Arms, and Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On. However, the star was also involved in some controversies such as marrying his first cousin who was only 13 at the time.

This controversy nearly ended his career as a rock and roll star, but Lewis managed to get back on the saddle. He became a country music singer who had several hit albums to his name. Lewis suffered from a minor stroke that took him five years to recuperate. Although some would say that this was the end of his career, to his credit, Lewis is back recording a new album much to the delight of his family.
