🎹 June 8, 1971 – Jerry Lee Lewis marries Jaren Elizabeth Gunn Pate
On this day in 1971, Jerry Lee Lewis married his fourth wife, Jaren Elizabeth Gunn Pate, a 29-year-old divorcee who worked as a secretary for the Memphis sheriff’s department.
Their marriage would soon become another complicated chapter in the turbulent life of “The Killer”: the couple separated just two weeks later, yet they never officially divorced. They would remain legally married, seeing each other only occasionally, until tragedy struck on June 8, 1982, when Jaren was found dead in the swimming pool of her home.
A story of love, distance, mystery and sadness — one more haunting page in the extraordinary, controversial life of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most explosive legends.
🎶 Jerry Lee Lewis: genius, fire, scandal and immortality.

Wishing a fabulous birthday to the iconic singer, actress, and style legend who taught the world that "These Boots Are Made for Walkin’!" 👢💫
