{"product_id":"2940013947382","title":"Legends of Rock \u0026 Roll - Jerry Lee Lewis","description":"Jerry Lee Lewis, also known as “The Killer”, and the “Ferriday Fireball” had a tumultuous career. Is there an early rock and roller who had the energy he had, who could play (or pound) a piano with the ferocity that Jerry Lee could? With an ego the size of Louisiana, he took the music world by storm in 1956 and, for a couple years, was on everybody’s lips.  He really didn’t have that many pop hits in the Fifties. Six, in total and he never had a number one song. But, who among us has never heard of Jerry Lee? He certainly made his mark on the early history of Rock and Roll. What a lot of people might not realize is that Jerry Lee Lewis was a much bigger Country Music star than he was a Pop star.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a tribute to The Killer. It is not an exhaustive biography, it is more of a thumbnail sketch of his life and his music. I love the music of the Fifties and want to share that love with others. That is why I am writing this series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Jerry Lee Lewis was good, he was awesome. When he was bad, people turned against him. He had to re-invent himself midway through his career. This is the story of his life and, especially, his music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTopics covered include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eGetting His Start (his early years)\u003cbr\u003eMillion Dollar Quartet\u003cbr\u003e\"Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On\" (his first big hit)\u003cbr\u003eIt All Comes Crashing Down (the public turned their back on him)\u003cbr\u003ePersonal Life\u003cbr\u003eThe Transition to Country (he re-invents himself)\u003cbr\u003eMovie of His Life\u003cbr\u003eLegacy\u003cbr\u003eSelected Discography (singles and albums)\u003cbr\u003eAfterward (my conclusion)","brand":"Monument Marketing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145848111344,"sku":"2940013947382","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013947382_p0.jpg?v=1763597696","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013947382","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
