Jerry Lee Lewis - Boogie Woogie Country Man

The last of the original rock-and-rollers, Jerry Lee Lewis, died yesterday at his home in Mississippi. 

After Lewis marriage to his 13-year-old first cousin was exposed in 1958--"the Killer" was already married to someone else, he was essentially blackballed in the music industry. 

In the mid-1960s he found a home with country music. Here's a song from the perion, "Boogie Woogie Country Man," that captures the feel of his earlier work.

Watch as Lewis plays piano with his hands and feet late in this tune.

Rest in peace.
