I think the youger generation will never understand what he did for raising funds for muscular distrophy. They may not ever get this great man has helped to raise hundreds of millions to fund help for those stricken and probably don't understand the boot collection at intersections by the FD. He was a great human being.

Jerry Lee Lewis married his young cousin. Sure, she was a minor child. They were both in love with each other and she pursued him. It's not like he was a predator. And I believe her parents approved. But back in those days and in rural areas, it wasn't uncommon for kids to get married young and it certainly wasn't uncommon for cousins to get married. Who else were they going to marry? As for being a bigamist, he married his second wife before the divorce to his first wife became final. I chalk that up to the fact that though he might be a musical genius and slay the piano, he is not a very bright man. The same thing occurred when he married his cousin before his first marriage was final. That marriage lasted 13 years.
The biggest problem I have with Jerry Lee is he is abusive and has a violent temper. Loved his music, however.
Did anyone see Great Balls of Fire starring Dennis Quaid? I enjoyed the movie.

I would love to see him play the piano live.
Marrying his cousin was the beginning of the end of his career.

Any adult male that goes after his 12 year old cousin (she was 12 when the relationship started) while married to another woman IS a predator. And no, it wasn't acceptable behavior - that's why the world was horrified.

I didn't even hear about any of it until the movie came out.

Jerry Lewis passed, not Jerry Lee.
