He defied death in his old age just as he shrugged off the hard-driving, self-destructive lifestyle of his younger years, to play his music to a worldwide audience across seven decades, decorate the walls of his home with Grammys and gold records, and spawn a million outrageous stories — most of them true.<br /> 344Once, when asked by a biographer: âIs it true thatâ¦â</p> 345<p>âYeah,â interrupted Lewis, without waiting to hear the particulars, âit probably was.â</p> 346<p>His beginnings sounded like myth. His father, Elmo, and mother, Mamie, mortgaged their farm to buy him a piano, after he climbed onto a piano bench and, without ever having touched a keyboard before, began to play. His nickname, Killer, had nothing to do with his playing, but came from a schoolroom fight in Ferriday when he tried to choke a grown man with his own necktie; still, it fit the man, the musician to come, but there was more to him than a barroom piano pounder who sometimes kept a pistol in his pants.</p> 347<p>Musicians and music journalists called him a true virtuoso, whose music was so rich and complex that some of them swore there were two pianos on stage instead of one. He played honky-tonk and blues across the same keyboard in the same instant, could play melody with both hands. He sang rockabilly before he knew it had a name, sang blues, gospel and country in the same set and sometimes the same breath, to become No. 24 on <em>Rolling Stoneâs</em> 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Sam Phillips, who launched the careers of Elvis and Lewis at Sun Records in Memphis, called Lewis the most talented person he had ever seen. A talent that made him one of the very few to be inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fameâs first class in 1986 and, most recently this past week, at long last, into the Country Music Hall of Fame.</p> 348<p>As Lewis stacked hits on the charts in â57 and Elvis received his draft notice, the reigning king of rock ânâ roll drove to Sun Records in tears, to tell Lewis: âYou can have it.â</p> 349<p>But if Jerry Leeâs life was a comet that streaked across the sky of American music, it was also a thing that scorched him inside and out, and so many of the people around him.</p> 350<p>Judith, his seventh wife, was by his side when he passed away at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi, south of Memphis. He told her, in his final days, that he welcomed the hereafter, and that he was not afraid.</p> 351<p>Born into the Assembly of God church in his hometown of Ferriday, Louisiana, he never stopped believing, even when his lifestyle made the specter of hell seem closer. His greatest fear, that he would be condemned to a lake of fire for playing what many in his Pentecostal faith called âthe devilâs music,â haunted him. He shared his fear with Elvis, who begged him to never mention it again. Lewis thought Elvis, also a Pentecostal, was the one person who might understand, but he died in â77, leaving Lewis to wonder, alone.</p> 352<p>He had prayed every day across his long life for forgiveness, and for salvation. His was a church that believed in miracles; why, he sometimes wondered, should he not be one of them? He found peace near the end of his life in a simple idea: that a music that brought such joy to so many could only come from God, âand the devil,â he said, âdidnât have nothinâ to do with it.â</p> 353<p>
353âHe said he was ready to be with Jesus,â said Judith.</p> 354<p>His last album was a gospel record with his cousin, lifetime televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who had preached against his music when they were younger. In Jerry Leeâs final months, they took turns at the keyboard, singing songs they learned as children: âOld Rugged Crossâ and âLily of the Valleyâ and âIn the Garden.â Lewis, though his voice and body were weakened by his injury and a recent stroke, seemed happy, content.</p> 355<p>Much of his life, Lewis had seemed determined to leave the world in the great fire he sang about. He set pianos ablaze, busted hecklers in the head with the butt-end of his microphone stand and rammed the gates of Graceland with his Rolls Royce. He shot holes in the wall of his Memphis office with a .38 revolver, shot his bass player in the chest, âby accident,â with a .357. His life, at different times, was a blur of high-speed chases and Crown Royal. The DEA met his planes on the runway. Fortunes came and went; all the wild rock musicians who came after him, he said, were mostly amateurs. Keith Richards tried to toss up a bottle of Crown Royal and catch it by the neck, like him, âbut he never did it right ⦠wasted a bunch of good liquor.â</p> 356<p>But if you asked him, in his waning years, what he hoped people would say about him, he had a simple answer.<br /> 357âYou can tell âem I played the piano and sang rock ânâ roll.â</p> 358<p>His career, like his body, seemed doomed a dozen times.</p> 359<p>After soaring to the top of the charts in â57 with songs like âShakinââ and âHigh School Confidential,â he was castigated in the press for his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin, Myra. His rockânâ roll star seemed to burn out even as it began to rise, and after a few big hits in the early 1960s his career seemed to be over. He responded by loading two cars with instruments and musicians and hitting the road, to play some big rooms, still, but also every honky-tonk and beer joint that would pay him to perform. He fought his way out of beer joints in Iowa, then drove all night and all day to another town and another show.</p> 360<p>Sometimes he gave them magic and sometimes, if the mood was on him, he gave them less, but in his old age he swore he gave them the magic all the time. In â64, record producers taped his show at a Hamburg, Germany, nightclub and made what would become music history<em>. Live at the Star Club</em> would be regarded as one the rawest, wildest, and greatest live albums of all time.</p> 361<p>Then, in a twist that surprised many of his rock fans, Jerry Lee Lewis went country. âAnother Place, Another Time,â was just the beginning of a string of soulful country chart-toppers that made him rich and famous all over again. He had more than 30 songs reach Billboardâs Top 10, including âTo Make Love Sweeter for Youâ and a haunting âWould You Take Another Chance on Me.â It seemed only natural to Jerry Lee. He had always believed that Hank Williams hung the moon.</p> 362<p>In this new stardom he finally played the Grand Ole Opry, the organization that had once snubbed him, and ignored the two-song protocol to play what and for long as he pleased, even playing through the commercials. Then, in perhaps the oddest twist of his musical career, he was cast as Shakespeareâs sinister Iago in a musical production in Los Angeles; he was a natural.</p> 363<p>Once again, he flew around the world, sometimes on his own plane, and once again his lifestyle made almost as many headlines as his music. Tragedy followed him; he buried two sons. His health began to fail, marriages failed, but somehow he always rallied, always kept playing, for big paydays, or for free in a Memphis nightclub, living the life he sang about in his songs.</p> 364<p>In 2006, his <em>Last Man Standing</em> album sold a million copies, his best-selling album of his long career. He followed that with another success, <em>Mean Olâ Man</em>. You could hear the ghosts of the old honky-tonks in them, as if Jerry Lee Lewis had, truly, found a way to stop time. He did a duet with Springsteen.</p> 365<p>His Lifetime Achievement Grammy was a kind of crowning achievement, and he appeared at Rock ânâ Roll Hall of Fame shows to accept his due and to school the whippersnappers on how it was done.</p> 366<p>In 2012, when he was 76, he fell in love and married Judith, and they lived quietly â quietly for Jerry Lee Lewis â in northern Mississippi, though Lewis continued to do shows here in the U.S. and abroad.  That year they took a trip to Ferriday to visit the family cemetery, and to drive across the bridge to Natchez where, as a boy, Jerry Lee used to dangle over the girders high above the brown water of the Mississippi and the passing boats below. The other boys begged him to get down, but he just hung there, grinning, till they were in tears. When asked if he was scared, a lifetime later, he just looked surprised. The Killer didnât get scared. But looking down at the river as an old man, he said he might have been crazy.</p> 367<p>Later, they drove past the church where he beat the piano to pieces with his cousins Swaggart and Mickey Gilley, who would go on to country music stardom, pounding a little blues and honky-tonk into the hymns they were supposed to be practicing.</p> 368<p>Just across town from the tiny church had once stood the other temple of his musical education, a blues joint called Haneyâs Big House, where some of the biggest acts in the country came to play. As a little boy, he snuck in the door and hid under the tables to hear rolling blues piano and wicked guitar.
