The rock and roll singer, Jerry Lee Lewis, still produces a dynamic performance. His career started in 1956 with his first single, “Crazy Arms,” but Lewis is best known for his 1957 hits, “Whole Lotta Shaking Going On” and “Great Balls of Fire.” Lewis’s career went into decline a year later when news of his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin became public. In the mid-sixties, he moved from rock and roll to country music, a style he has kept to ever since.
