He certainly led a spicy life.
Married 7 times. Two of his spouses died under suspicious circumstances. One was nearly a child bride. His personal life had a whole lotta shakin' goin' on.

Nearly? She was 13 when they got married, and he was still legally married to his first wife, which he'd done a few times in his life. He was living with her family at the time. Her dad was his cousin and bandmate. She had her first child at 14. He ended up marrying her brother's ex-wife about 10 years ago.

Yeah, I was in no-way defending him. The article I read said she was young, that was enough for me to be done with him.
 
The only gift Jerry Lee Lewis had was his whiteness. It's literally the only reason any of us know who he was. He stole everything from black artists who white kids weren't allowed to listen to and had no access to seeing. He's a copy of the creators. He deserves no attention.
