NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) Jerry Lee Lewis has married for a seventh time - this time to the ex-wife of a cousin whose sister Lewis wed when she was 13 - his representative said Thursday.
The 76-year-old rock-'n'-roller on March 9 married Judith Brown, his caregiver, in Natchez, Miss. - and that's where the easy part ends.
Judith Brown is the ex-wife of Rusty Brown, Lewis' second cousin. And Rusty Brown would be the brother of Myra Gale Brown, the minor-cousin-once-removed whom Lewis married in 1957.
The 14-year age difference between Lewis and Brown is actually more than the 10-year gap that existed between Lewis and Myra Gale Brown, but then again, Brown was only 13 when they wed, while Lewis was a piano-pummeling 23 getting hitched for the third time.
Lewis and his sixth wife, Kerrie McCarver, were married for 20 years and had a child. They were divorced in 2004.
The flamboyant piano player known as "The Killer" pushed the rock envelope with his 1957 hit singles "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire."
