After media reports earlier this week mistakenly reported that Rock & Roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis had died, he did pass on Friday.
Lewis was 87 and is reported to have died at his home in Nisbet, Mississippi as well as probably one of the few times that the mercurial Jerry Lee was at peace.
“The Killer” lead a wild life that can only leave most anyone to wonder how he made it past 40 or thereabouts, much less all the way to 87.
Lewis was not a saint in his personal life; for but one aspect of it, he was married seven times.
Even so, in his early days he attended Southwest Bible Institute in Waxahachie, Texas.
While his formal religious education did not take hold, Lewis’ live performances could bring his audiences to the point of ecstatic rapture.
In any event, Jerry Lee Lewis and contemporary fellow piano player the Reverend Penniman were driven by their internal demons to be key – if not essentially – figures who parented the genesis of Rock and Roll, along with Chuck Berry.
