Jerry Lee Lewis - Breathless!

In the summer of 1952, a 16 year-old Jerry Lee Lewis traveled from Ferriday, Louisiana, to New Orleans, and cut a Demo record. In April 2022, a frail 86 year-old Jerry Lee Lewis, suffering from the debilitating effects of a stroke 3 years earlier, taped a Gospel album with his cousin Jimmy Lee Swaggart in Baton Rouge. It was his final recording. When he passed away a few months later, almost inevitably, the obituaries focused on his often controversial personal life. Peter Checksfield met Jerry Lee Lewis several times, and befriended family members and musicians associated with him. He draws on these experiences, as well as nearly half a century of collecting and concerts, to create the definitive guide to The Music. Encompassing Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Blues, Pop Standards, Gospel and just about everything in between, this book will leave you BREATHLESS!!!
