A rock'n'roll pioneer, Jerry Lee Lewis, known as "The Killer," brought a fast and energetic style, both on the piano and in his singing, delivering electrifying stage performances, not hesitating to hit the keyboard with his fists or heels, or even to play standing up. Deliberately provocative and excessive, he even set his piano on fire at the end of a concert, which cemented his reputation as the "bad-boy" of rock'n'roll.
