274 Jerry Lee Lewis (1935- ) “Great Balls of Fire” 1957

During the recording session of the song, Lewis and producer Sam Phillips argued over religion. The argument was “unresolved, Jerry Lee adamantly insisting that since he isn’t pure, he’s a sinner playing the Devil’s music, Sam Phillips insisting, equally adamantly, that the Bible should be interpreted intelligently and not taken literally” (Jerry Lee Lewis Rocks).
