Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Cecil J. Harrelson Linda Gail Lewis

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

Memories and bitter tears all my dreams down through the years
All gone at last with chimes of the past
This echo in my heart that crawls from deep within
And I know that I'm paying for love's unforgiven sin

Echoes echoes of your love keeps calling me
Echoes of your love will they ever let me be
A feeling I can feel of things I just can't see
An unseen voice keeps calling me

There's a pain in my heart that I know I can feel
A shattered set of dreams that can never never be real
Echoes echoes they shrill in my ears
Through my troubled mind year after year

And to a lonely heart that is paying the price
The price for love's unforgivable sins
Echoes of your love will they ever let me be

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
