With three Grammy awards and a total of seven gold albums, Ramsey Lewis has
become an internationally known and acclaimed musician, renowned for his keyboard
virtuosity and artistry. His recording of The In Crowd in 1965, followed the next year by
his versions of the #1 pop hits Hang On Sloopy and Wade in the Water represent some
of the earliest of fusion jau. As fresh as ever, Ramsey Lewis is a mixture of jau, Ras,
pop and gospel all rolled into one!
