Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Christianity
https://amazingdiscoveries.org/Elvis
In 1956 American minister Albert Carter condemned rock and roll as an art form having no Christian ethics and standards:
”The effect of rock and roll on young people, is to turn them into devil worshippers; to stimulate self expression through sex; to provoke lawlessness; impair nervous stability and destroy the sanctity of marriage. It is an evil influence on the youth of our country.”
“I know the right way, I was raised a good Christian. But I couldn't make it.”
Jerry Lee Lewis
Author Gary Herman explains Lewis' dilemma this way: “Despite his conviction that Jesus Christ is not inclined to do "a whole lotta shakin", Jerry himself (like Elvis, a member of the evangelical Assembly of God), is unable to break himself of the habit.”
“My true belief about Rock 'n Roll—and there have been a lot of phrases attributed to me over the years—is this: I believe this kind of music is demonic...
“A lot of the beats in music today are taken from voodoo, from the voodoo drums. If you study music in rhythms, like I have, you'll see that is true. I believe that kind of music is driving people from Christ. It is contagious.”
Little Richard

“I believe rock 'n roll is dangerous, it could very well bring about a very evil feeling in the west...it's got to go the other way now, and that's where I see it heading, bringing about the dark era... “
“I feel that we are only heralding something even darker than ourselves. “
“Rock 'n' roll lets in lower elements and shadows that I don't think are necessary.
Rock has always been the Devil's music, you can't convince me that it isn't.”
David Bowie
