Jerry Lee Lewis – 1935

Considered to be a key figure in revolutionizing rockabilly and rock and roll music, Jerry Lee Lewis is known in the world of music for his distinct style of playing the piano, which never fails to make the listeners groove to the beat. He became a prominent figure when he released Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On. More hits emerged from Lewis’ degree of artistry, such as in the movie Great Balls of Fire! where he re-recorded his songs—the movie revolves around his early days in rock & roll.

Lewis tried his hand on country music in the latter part of his career. His album Last Man Standing is a compilation of duets with a few of the titans in the music industry, like Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Elvis Presley.
