Jerry Lee Lewis has been a prolific performer and recording artist his entire life. Even today, when he sits down at a piano to pose for a photo, his hands can’t help but to start playing around, tinkling the notes of a classic or belting out a little something new. The result is a career with nearly 40 album releases—plus credits on innumerable songs, records and sessions with other artists.
