In 2006, in his 70s, Lewis' longevity was marked by the release of 'Last Man Standing,' an album of duets featuring such stars as Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, B.B. In 1986, Lewis was among the inaugural class of inductees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Lewis then reinvented himself as a country artist, in the 1960s, with such hits as 'Another Place, Another Time,' 'She Still Comes Around (to Love What's Left of Me),' 'She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye,' 'There Must Be More to Love Than This' and 'Would You Take Another Chance on Me.' His European tour was canceled, and he was blacklisted from the radio. In 1957 two songs by 'The Killer,' Jerry Lee Lewis (September 29, 1935-October 28, 2022), burned up the airwaves, becoming Top 10 hits: 'Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On' and 'Great Balls of Fire,' songs that showcased the Louisiana-born piano player's outrageous talent and energy – a force of nature inspired by sneaking into Black juke joints, and honed by his experience playing rockabilly, boogie-woogie and gospel.īut in 1958 Lewis' career suffered from the scandal of marrying his second-cousin, Myra Gale Brown (who was 13 at the time), while he was still married to the second of his seven wives.

He finished in fifth place on 'Dancing with the Stars' in 2009. He also appeared as an actor in 'Lizzie McGuire,' 'Family Affair,' 'Popstar' and 'Supercross,' and in the musical 'Seussical' on Broadway. The younger brother of Nick Carter (of Backstreet Boys), Aaron performed as an opening act for his brother's group, and for Britney Spears. His fifth and final album was 'LOVE' (2018). His hits included 'Crush on You,' 'Crazy Little Party Girl,' and 'I Want Candy.' It went gold, and was followed by three more albums during his teen years, including the triple-platinum 'Aaron's Party (Come Get It)' (2000). Singer, rapper and actor Aaron Carter (December 7, 1987-November 5, 2022) began performing as a child, and at age nine released his first, eponymous album.
