Product Description

Synopsis
The youngest sister of the notorious musician describes their childhood, their relationship as touring musicians, and the details of their troubles and their love for music.

From the Author
Linda Gail Lewis has lived a life worthy of examining.
Linda Gail Lewis not only had a most unique viewpoint into the entire life of a very unique family, she was an active participant. Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley and the evangelist Jimmy Swaggart were all first cousins who grew up together in a small Louisiana town. The influences that raised such obscure kids into national figures are unique. Interviewing Linda Gail was one of the most interesting experiences I have ever had. Her life experiences are unlike any others I have known. In twenty years of making motion pictures, I had not encountered any artist or celebrity whose adventures come close to the events in her life. This is the closest look interested readers will ever get into what makes this family tick. Linda Gail tells her stories in an "in your face" candid style and I know for a fact...she held nothing back. It is a hot spicy tale, fun to read, with many previously untold stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars A candid look behind the scenes of one of Rock's Icons., 7 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to be a very interesting look at the upbringing and early influences on Jerry Lee's life which was not detailed in earlier books on his life. It was sometimes shocking, but always interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Linda Gail Lewis: An Interesting Individual, 2 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I read THE DEVIL, ME, and JERRY LEE in a single afternoon. It is the well-written account of a woman who has risen from adverse poverty in Louisiana to lead quite an exciting, often raucous life in the world of entertainment. Linda Gail Lewis takes the reader through the swamps and shacks of her childhood and behind the curtains of the nightclubs and honky-tonks that she and her brother, Jerry Lee, played in night after night throughout their adult lives. She shares the "ups and downs" of her personal and professional life. Her story is honest, forthright and reflective. Linda Gail Lewis and Les Pendleton have a winner!
