Screamin' Scott Simon, a vibrant keyboardist for Sha Na Na, was known for his electrifying performances, especially his homage to Jerry Lee Lewis with hits like "Great Balls of Fire." He infused theatricality into early rock 'n' roll classics, often performing on his knees or from his feet, making each performance a captivating spectacle.
