Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Dottie Bruce Norro Wilson

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

It was only yesterday that I noticed a sudden change
Even tonight when you touched me, everything seems strange
I've been worried for a long time, that something might go wrong
Oh, it's happening, I know it's happening
All the good is gone

All the good is gone from the love we shared together
All the tenderness has disappeared from your lovin' heart
And now, I'll start lookin' for another to take your place
And when each time I hold her and feel her warm embrace

Warm memories of our good times, when I loved you for so long
I remember, yes I remember all the good is gone

Yes, I remember all the good is gone

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.
