		Born in 1935 near Ferriday, Louisiana,; Jimmy Lee Swaggart was the son of a lay preacher in the charismatic Assemblies of God.
		By the time he was 23, Swaggart was regularly traveling the gospel preaching circuit, along with his wife, Francis, who would remain a full partner throughout his ministry, and their two-year-old son, who would grow up to become his father's lieutenant.
		But Swaggart's career had become part of his century's unique body of religious lore, and he would be remembered in all his passion and moral ambiguity as a genuine American type.

	Vinyl Records "Jimmy Swaggart Albums"
		Jimmy Swaggart (born March 15, 1935 in Ferriday, Louisiana) is a Christian preacher and pioneer of televangelism who reached the height of his popularity in the 1980s.
		In 1987, Swaggart was involved with a prostitute at a Metairie, Louisiana hotel called the Travel Inn on Airline Highway, when Gorman and some associates flattened the tires on Swaggart's car, went and got cameras, and took photographs of Swaggart exiting the hotel with the prostitute.
		Swaggart blamed his problems on "demons" and claimed that controversial evangelist Oral Roberts had "cast out the demons" over the phone, thus assuring Swaggart was now free of moral defect.

	Jerry Lee Lewis - Biography - AOL Music
		Whether singing a melancholy country ballad, a lowdown blues, or a blazing rocker, Lewis' wholesale commitment to the moment brings forth performances that are totally grounded in his personality and all singularly of one piece.
		Not wanting to squander Jerry Lee's gifts on the sordid world of show business, she enrolled him in a bible college in Waxahatchie, TX, secure in the knowledge that her son would now be exclusively singing his songs to the Lord.
		His television appearances and stage shows were legendary for their manic energy, and his competitive nature to outdo anyone else on the bill led to the story about how he once set his piano on fire at set's end to make it impossible for Chuck Berry to follow his act.

		At that moment, her husband, Jerry Lee, was downtown at the Sun recording studio cutting "Breathless," as fine a slab of rock 'n' roll as anyone ever made--a rollicking, stop-time stomp with pounding left-hand bass and starboard glissandos.
		By 1988, Jimmy Swaggart had become the Assembly of God's star evangelist; he had long damned his famous cousin's truck with the Devil, but when it was revealed that Swaggart had lain (and lain, and lain) with a prostitute, he was defrocked.
		Jerry Lee was never charged in her death, and his myth was fueled by dark suggestions that he had grown into his childhood nickname.

		Jimmy Lee Swaggart, born in Ferriday, Louisiana, on March 15, 1935, describes himself as an old-fashioned, Holy Ghost-filled, shouting, weeping, soul-winning, gospel-preaching preacher.

		Mamie never hid her desire that Jerry Lee's burgeoning talents be put in the service of Jesus, but at least in his first few years of piano playing, perhaps until as late as 1950, there is no evidence of her forcing Jerry Lee down one musical path or another.
		Jimmy Lee, still a teenager, had already pledged his life to the Lord, but he was nonetheless encouraged by Jerry Lee and Mickey to accompany them on their jaunts both in Ferriday and across the river.
		The confidence Jerry Lee gained from performing in Ferriday and Natchez clubs, combined with his hope that the introduction of these strange sounds to the radio might mean there was room for someone like him, led him to Shreveport on a trip funded by his aunt Stella Calhoun.

		And Jerry Lee's cousin Jimmy Swaggart had a wonderfully theatrical hedge: He paid prostitutes he didn't touch to re-create pornographic tableaux for him -- devilish, motel-room versions of a living crèche.
		Swaggart, she contends, was undone in part because he could never acknowledge how fully eroticism powered his preaching.
		Seaman examines Swaggart's subsequent rise through the revival circuit to the peak of televangelism -- and his 1988 fall -- through a forgiving lens of psychology.

	The Austin Chronicle Books: Review - Swaggart: The Unauthorized Biography of an American Televangelist
		In 1987, Jimmy Swaggart was one of the world's most popular televangelists, with a weekly television audience of 2.1 million in the United States and a worldwide audience of millions more.
		He had spent a lifetime climbing to fame, from a Faulknerian childhood of poverty and family discord in rural Louisiana through years of being a traveling preacher at churches where often the only place to sleep was a moldy basement with rats and roaches.
		Native Austinite Ann Rowe Seaman fittingly opens Swaggart with a description of one of these trysts; she uses the rest of her well-researched book to examine the factors which led to Swaggart's sex-induced fall from grace.

	Prophecy and Politics (review)
		Swaggart's words would be no more than a colorful bit of gothic, Southern Americana were he delivering them in a dimly lit tent on a steamy August night in some backwater hamlet.
		When Swaggart poured forth his searing nihilistic hatred for all life on earth he was not laughed out of town, booed, or tarred and feathered.
		What protest there is scrupulously skirts the taboo issue of the relationship between the likelihood of nuclear war and the preacher's idolatry of war-Zionism, delicately limiting the protests to concern over the fundamentalist's promotion of anti-abortion laws and censorship of pornography.

	Jimmy Swaggart Trashes Knee Worshiping Frances!
		And of course, it goes without saying that Brother Jimmy and Sister Frances have rejected “what thus saith the Lord” through me. In fact even though I was a faithful supporter of JSM for almost twenty (20) years, they took me off their mailing list shortly after our first “Jimmy Swaggart” sermonet.
		And of course as all this applies to Brother Swaggart making the “natural” choice instead of the “spiritual” one, well, it was his sinful “knee joint” that did the “flexing” in order for him to “bow down” to his wife “Frances”.
		Jimmy Swaggart has taken that which was meant to be used for the glory of God and turned her into a powerful tool of the Devil.
