Jerry Lee Lewis, 84, Born In 1935 – Great Balls Of Fire

Jerry Lee Lewis, also referred to as “The Killer,” is a rock and roll legend who earned the nickname for his energetic rhythms. His mother initially had alternate plans for him, hence why she enrolled him at Southwest Bible Institute, hoping that he’d sing evangelical songs.

If it isn’t evident by now, that didn’t work out because the heart wants what the heart wants. Lewis has recorded about 40 studio albums, many live, collaboration, and compilation albums, and also loads of top-charting singles. With hit songs like Great Balls of Fire, Goin’ On, and more, Lewis made Rolling Stones’ list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
