Early rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis nicknamed “The Killer” passed on Friday Oct 28th, 2022. His back to back hits “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On” and “Great Balls of Fire” launched him to worldwide fame in the late 1950s. He was one of the pioneers of the Rockabilly sound and one of the most influential pianists of the 20th Century. His high energy and crazy hair were his trademarks. You will be missed.

Rest In Peace Jerry Lee from the entire staff at Deep Oldies
