Classic question about who-what star from the 50's i think went to jail for?

Statutory Rape?

I think that was LEFTY FRIZZELL back in 1947 for 6 months.

Jerry Lee Lewis....?

Yep Okie is right on the money. He went to jail in Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico where I was born and the aliens were supposed to have landed. Wonder if they dropped me off at that time. LOL

Lefty Frizzell. He wrote "I Love You a Thousand Ways" while in jail. That's what the line, "So darling, please, wait, please wait until I'm free" was about.
