Another album deleted from stock, the old kent CD,s are being taken out now at a steady pace hence the value shoots up. ...James Eddie lewis was born in 1939 in Nashville, Tennessee & passed in L.A. in 2004. He recorded a dozen singles in the 1960's, including a duet with Ray Charles, but he soon found that his compositional skills were much more in demand. Based in Los Angeles, he continued composing for Ray Charles and other artists. In the 80's he wrote many of Z.Z. Hill's best songs for Mississippi's Malaco Records. He reunited with Ray Charles again in the 90's. It was also in the 90's that Lewis began his stint as primary writer, arranger and producer for Peggy Scott-Adams. His easy going style blended perfectly with Scott-Adams' hard-hitting style, and the collaboration resulted in a string of Southern Soul hits that as much as any other song producing team defined the sound of Southern Soul from the mid nineties into the new millennium. As a musical entrepreneur, Lewis has been a human dynamo. Besides writing, arranging and producing Scott-Adams and other artists for his Miss Butch label, Lewis has cranked out solo Jimmy Lewis CD's regularly through the 90's and 00's. A total of 10 albums recorded and nearly 40 x 45,s. Jimmy won over chitlin' circuit deejays and fans back in the day by composing colourful, culturally "incorrect" portraits of real life, and novelty songs enriched with modern day folklore. Today he's regarded as perhaps the foremost storyteller in contemporary Southern Soul rhythm and blues.One of the REAL soul men who have walked this planet & left us better for it musically...Sizzling and sensuous Southern Soul from one of Black music's top
backroom boys, who takes the spotlight and steals the applause. Also
contains the complete "Totally Involved" Debut LP (1974) and 12 unissued
masters. All killer, no filler, just SOUL!
