In Loving Memories The Jerry Lee Lewis Gospel Album (1970)

Lewis had deep roots in gospel music from his upbringing in Louisiana, and this album gave him a vehicle to record the spiritual material he had always kept close. It stands apart from his rock and country work as a more personal, devotional project.
