Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire (1957) 4K

Jerry Lee Lewis performing “Great Balls of Fire“, released originally in 1957. The song peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles and #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, with a later #1 placing on the UK Singles Chart. The song also saw success in Netherlands, cracking the top 30, and in New Zealand, where it reached the top 10, landing at #8 on the NZ charts. Great Balls of Fire was originally written by Otis Blackwell and Jack Hammer, and it became Jerry Lee Lewis’ signature tune, a perfect fit for his incendiary style. The song’s innuendo-filled lyrics were shocking for a southern musician in 1957, and Jerry Lee Lewis was conflicted over whether or not he should record it as he grew up in a religious household. Great Balls of Fire made the Top 5 of the Pop, R&B, and Country charts simultaneously with “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.“ Both hits reached #1 on the Country charts, and while Great Balls of Fire sold 5 million copies, which was less than its predecessor, it still charted higher. Jerry Lee Lewis is known for his rock and roll, country, and blues style, and has been referred to as “rock and roll’s first great wild man.“ He is also known for his performances on the piano and his flamboyant stage presence.
