    "Jerry Lee Lewis was born into a religious family that wasn’t very well-off and yet sold their house to get young Jerry Lee Lewis a piano, which he loved and can probably be accredited to have been the beginning of this Rock-n-Roll legend."

    "Jerry Lee Lewis started to establish a name for himself in Memphis after writing and selling a song together with his cousin J. W. Brown. They sold the song to the president of Sun Records, the legendary Sam Philips."

    "This was before it became popular for singers to sing songs written by others, Lee Lewis was a pioneer in this area, as well as bringing the piano into Rock-n-Roll."

    This is supposed to be the first recording Jerry Lee Lewis ever cut. On a 78 rpm in 1952 at age 17 (details in the OP & link). I was curious. :rolleyes:

    New Orleans Boogie

    "A pioneer of rock 'n' roll and rockabilly music, Lewis made his first recordings in 1952 at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana."
