Jerry Lee Lewis, a multi-award-winning musician best known for his songs 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On,' passed away on Oct. 28, 2022, at the age of 87. Born into poverty in Ferriday, La. on Sept. 29, 1935, Lewis' family mortgaged the family farm to buy him a piano. He first signed with Sun Records in 1956 and had a great start to his career until he was met with controversy in 1958. News broke that he had married his 13-year-old cousin Myra Gale Brown, which severely impacted his popularity until his switch to country music in 1968. Lewis, nicknamed 'The Killer,' continued to have battles with controversy throughout his years and, though a 2019 stroke had him cancel events, he was back in the studio in 2020. He is survived by four children.
