This book is about Jerry Lee "Smoochy" Smith, a
musician and entertainer from the fifties. Jerry Lee
is a self-taught pianist and vocalist. He plays
piano in the style of rockabilly, country, boogie,
blues, and gospel. He became interested in playing
the piano when he was 9 years old. By the age of 14,
he was already playing professionally.
This book is about the many things Jerry Lee has
been involved in throughout his musical career. You
will laugh, cry, and ooh and aah at the things he
has to say about his personal life and his
involvement with other people, friends, and
musicians. The end of the book tells of the changes
he made in his life. After reading this book, Jerry
Lee says, “You will discover The Real Me.”
