Jerry Lee Lewis possessed a genius to make any song into his own (which was why he didn’t need to write his own songs). What was not one of the ways he accomplished this?

Answer:

a) Upped the tempo

b) Transposed the key

c) Used new time signatures

d) Using the original words

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry Lee Lewis was a pioneer of rock and roll and rockabilly music. He rarely wrote his own song, but was a gifted interpreter and pianist. His interpretation of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (written by Dave "Curlee" Williams) made him famous worldwide. He radically altered the original songs, upping the tempo, adding new elements to it, using a different time signature and key and also changing or adding new elements to the lyrics.
