I'd ask "Isn't that the guy from Louisiana that married his cousin?" but then I suppose that doesn't narrow it down much. 
No thats the guy from Tennessee who married his cousin.

Known as "Killer" was truly one of the greatest lounge entertainers ever

He got his nickname from being in a few fights in his school days

From the Font of All Wisdom and Knowledge:


Quote
His rock and roll career faltered in the wake of his marriage to Myra Gale Brown, his 13-year-old first cousin once removed. His popularity quickly eroded following the scandal, and with few exceptions, such as a cover of Ray Charles's "What'd I Say", he did not have much chart success in the early 1960s.

He and his famous piano-playing cousin, Mickey Gilley, both claimed that their other cousin, was the best of all of them when playing the keys.

That man's name?  Jimmy Swaggart.

And now you know...

When you're raised in BR, you already know.  

Pretty impressive campus that church had back in the day.  Large church, seminary with dorms, and other activity buildings.  

I don't know if the hookers were equally impressive.

Jimmy and his cronies seemed to think so.

Also lesser known is that Lewis also considered becoming a preacher instead of a rocker, just as Swaggert was on the fence between the two himself when he was young.  I don't know that Gilley ever considered any sort of ministry.

Also not sure why 320 calls Lewis the guy from TN who married his cousin.  Dude was definitely from Louisiana.

Yup, all 3 of them were, although Mickey Gilley was technically born in MS.  But he got to Louisiana as soon as he could... :)

Those family get togethers for the holidays must have been something else. I assume there was a piano in use at all times.

Probably, but it was all the same people over and over.  Inviting your cousins and your brothers and your brothers' wives etc. was redundant :)
