blueschica Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) RIP, Ramsey Lewis. This makes me feel so sad, I love listening to him when he comes on the Philadelphia jazz station. What a distinguished career. Edited September 13, 2022 by blueschica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I missed this post so just commenting now. NPR had a nice piece on him Tuesday morning. I didn't remember Dobie Grey (Drift Away) had a hit with The In Crowd, Lewis decided to record it and that's how it came to be. Also Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire was one of his early band mates. Jazz got a bit of a boost from his songs, think of Hugh Masekela a few years later, good music.

Derek19 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I've been sorry, to hear, see, and read this. I haven't listened to any of his music. He will be missed, and remembered. My condolences, to his family, and friends. R.I.P., Ramsey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
