This is a detailed discography for American rock and roll, country, and gospel singer-songwriter Jerry Lee Lewis. One of the pioneers of rockabilly, Lewis has recorded over 40 albums in a career spanning seven decades. Lewis is a versatile artist, and has recorded songs in multiple genres. Lewis, in 1986, was one of the very first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and, as of 2016, is the last surviving rock and roll pioneer of Sun Records (fellow Sun rock and roll colleagues such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins, among others, are deceased.) Some of his best known songs are Great Balls of Fire, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, and High School Confidential. His album, Live at the Star Club, Hamburg, is widely considered one of the greatest live concert albums ever.[1][2][3][4][5] In his lengthy career in music, Lewis has had 30 songs reach the top ten on the Billboard Country-and-Western chart.[6] Lewis is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential pianists of the rock and roll era, and was ranked number 24 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[7]
