Ramsey Lewis has long straddled the limit between bop-oriented jazz and pop music. Most of his recordings (in particular by the mid-'60s) were identical accessible and attracted a gravid non-jazz audience. In 1956, he formed a triad with bassist Eldee Young and drummer Red Holt. From the part (1958), their records for Argo/Cadet were popular, although in the early days, they had a strong jazz content. In 1958, Lewis as well recorded with Max Roach and Lem Winchester. On the 1965 albums The In Crowd and Hang On, Ramsey made the piano player into a major attractiveness and from that point, on his records became much more than predictable and pop-oriented. In 1966, his trio's staff office office changed with bassist Cleveland Eaton and drummer Maurice White (later the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire) connection Lewis. In the 1970s, Lewis a great deal played electric pianissimo, although by later in the tenner he was relieved to acoustic and hiring an additional keyboardist. He can still dally melodic jazz when he wants to, but Ramsey Lewis has generally stuck to easy hearing pop music during the past 30 old age. In 2004 he released Time Flies, a look back at some of his most popular songs through new recordings.
