“What’s Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out Of Me)” #94 7/20/1968

The travails of Jerry Lee Lewis have been well documented, from his meteoric rise to being the first wild man of rock and roll to torpedoing his career by marrying his 13-year-old cousin. (I love that scene with Dennis Quaid at the airport in “Great Balls Of Fire!”) The Killer reinvented himself in the late 60’s by transitioning quite welł into country music, where this Top 5 record was just a good ol’ drinking song.
