Jerry Lee Lewis - The Ballads Of Jerry Lee Lewis - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In the pantheon of the rock n roll greats, Jerry Lee Lewis probably vies for top spot with Little Richard as candidate for the top spot in the rock n roll pianist/singer category. From his roots in Americas rural south, brought up with church and country music, he became one of the pioneers of rock n roll piano, as well as one of the coterie of legendary names who began their recording careers at Sam Philips renowned Sun Studios in Memphis. When Elvis Presley left Sun for RCA, Jerry Lee became Phillips main money-spinner, although his high profile reputation as one of the first wild men of rock rebounded on him when scandal blighted his career.
