Jerry Lee Lewis (September 29, 1935 – October 28, 2022) was one of the most influential of rock and roll musicians in history, influencing bands like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Monkees, and many others. In 1957, the single "While Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" catapulted Lewis to the top of the charts, reaching 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 1 on the Hot R&B chart. This was followed by "Great Balls of Fire," which reached the top spot on the Hot Country Singles chart and the second spot on the Hot 100. It is now widely considered one of the greatest songs of all time and is permanently preserved by the Library of Congress. With his self-titled debut album appearing in 1958 and 2014's "Rock and Roll Time", Jerry Lee Lewis is one of only a few artists to release at least one album in seven consecutive decades.
