Jerry Lee Lewis | Great Balls Of Fire | Age 86

Jerry Lee Lewis’ signature slick hairstyle became an instant hit, inspiring many young people of his generation to try it for themselves. The wild man of rock and roll, for which he was dubbed, was more famous than his hairstyle. Breathless and High School Confidential are just two of the many chart-topping singles that Lewis has released. However, it was in the ’50s that the artist achieved both domestic and international acclaim. Although the artist’s career took a dip in the 1960s, he has since returned with renewed vigor. Even now, Jerry doesn’t appear ready to hang it up.
