R.I.P Jerry Lee one of the idols of my childhood. Your music your legend will never die🙏🏽❤.

[@BP-dn9nv]

Wow, I was just thinking earlier today about how he was one of the last living rock n roll pioneers. RIP

[@hmenef]

If you think copying music he learned from Black Americans makes him a pioneer then I guess you probably also believe Christopher Columbus discovered America.😂🤣😂🤣🤣…..You may want to look up the word pioneer and the only thing this man was a pioneer of was molesting and marrying his 13 year old cousin.🤮🤮🤮

[@JohnnyCashFanatic]

The greatest piano player that ever lived

[@glasshalffull8471]

The media didn't nickname him The Killer, he got that name by himself as a teenager, he was going pretty good until a stroke in 2019 and that was the beginning of the end, he sure was the best at what he did.

[@TheAnnaFisher]

Rest In Paradise, Jerry Lee Lewis! Deepest condolences to the family circle.

Poor Jerry 😥, great pianist . Lovely photo of him with his wife last year in "The Gazette": 'A v''ed 85-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis, the last living member of the Million Dollar Quartet that recorded many hits at Memphis' Sun Records in the 1950s, renews marriage vows with 7th wife Judith at his ranch in Nesbit, Mississippi'.

He stole music from Foundational Black Americans and his soul is most certainly in hell for molesting and marrying his 13 year old cousin.🤮🤮🤮🤮…..He was a disgusting child molester that stole from Black culture and that is how he will be remembered.

Only three remaining 1950s rock and roll icons alive Neil Sedaka Wanda Jackson and Pat Boone Jerry Lee Lewis rest in peace God Rest his soul he did his last album which was Gospel with his cousin Jimmy Swaggart 🙌 ✝️

[@jll259]

PAT BOONE?? 😲😲 Pat Boone is as far away from Rock ´n´ Roll as the Pope from being married with a man!

[@freddysnip6257]

Bill Harlan is also a 50's rock and roll singer. He recorded I wanna Bop under the wings of Chet Atkins on RCA. It wasn't released tho, so Bill never made a big name back then. He was re-discovered in Europe in the early 80's, and recently recorded a new album at RCA Studio B in Nashville. He also was friends from his early teens on with Don and Phil Everly. Yes I know he is not famous in the sense of the more known pioneers, but still a rock and roll pioneer still alive and kicking. BTW, Patrick Boone is lightyears away from rock and roll, and more like a crooner.

[@johns9009]

Paul Anka, Connie Francis, Fabian and Frankie Avalon are still with us

He only had a few hits. But he played the boogie woogie piano like no other human😊

[@vickieclark5931]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. When I heard today that he died, I was like what?? I thought he died 30 years ago. I guess it's cause anytime we hear about him, it almost sounds like they talk about him in the past.
