Who is Jerry Lee Lewis? / Facts

He has been described as "rock & roll's first great wild man
First recordings - in 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis
"Crazy Arms" sold 300,000 copies in the South
Rise to fame - it was his 1957 hit "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" that shot Lewis to fame worldwide
Next hits - "Great Balls of Fire", "Breathless" and "High School Confidential"
Scandal - His rock and roll career faltered in the wake of his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin when he was 22 years old
He had minimal success in the charts following the scandal, and his popularity quickly eroded
His live performance fees plummeted from $10,000 per night to $250
In the meantime he was determined to gain back some of his popularity
In the early 1960s, he did not have much chart success, with few exceptions, such as a cover of Ray Charles's "What'd I Say"
His live performances at this time were increasingly wild and energetic
Live album - His 1964 live album Live at the Star Club, Hamburg is regarded by music journalists and fans as one of the wildest and greatest live rock albums ever
Country music - In 1968 Lewis made a transition into country music and had hits with songs such as "Another Place, Another Time"
This reignited his career, and throughout the late 1960s and 1970s he regularly topped the country-western charts; throughout his seven-decade career, Lewis has had 30 songs reach the top 10 on the "Billboard Country and Western Chart"
No. 1 country hits - "To Make Love Sweeter for You", "There Must Be More to Love Than This", "Would You Take Another Chance on Me" and "Me and Bobby McGee"
Lewis's successes continued throughout the decade and he embraced his rock and roll past with songs such as a cover of the Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace" and Mack Vickery's "Rockin' My Life Away"
In the 21st century Lewis continues to tour around the world and still releases new albums
Bestseller - His album Last Man Standing is his best selling to date, with over a million copies sold worldwide
This was followed by Mean Old Man, which has received some of the best sales of Lewis's career
Lewis has a dozen gold records in both rock and country
Awards - He won several Grammy awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award
Fame - Lewis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, and his pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame
He was also a member of the inaugural class inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame
In 1989, his life was chronicled in the movie Great Balls of Fire, starring Dennis Quaid
In 2003, Rolling Stone listed his box set All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology number 242 on their list of "500 Greatest Albums of All Time"
In 2004, they ranked him number 24 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time
