"Great Balls of Fire" / "You Win Again" (Sun 281)

Released on Sun in 1957 as catalogue number 281, Jerry Lee Lewis's single coupled the explosive 'Great Balls of Fire' with a reading of Hank Williams's 'You Win Again'. It sold in enormous numbers and stands among the peak commercial moments of the Sun rockabilly era. The pairing again shows the label balancing wild rock 'n' roll against country roots. It marked Lewis as the studio's last great star before scandal cut his momentum short.
