Linda Lewis

About Me

Bursting on to the UK chart scene in the seventies, Linda Lewis fused seemingly disparate musical elements together - folk, soul, pop, rock and reggae - into a totally unique signature sound. Recent collaborations with the likes of Turin Brakes, Jamiroquai, and Midfield General show how highly regarded she is by our hottest chart acts. With the recent emergence of black female artists cast in a similar stylistic mould to Linda Lewis - in particular the UK's own Des'ree and the USA's India.Arie - the kind of cultural and musical cross-pollination that Linda Lewis pioneered some 30 years ago is now an accepted part of the popular music landscape. There couldn't be a better time for a re-evaluation of the remarkable contribution Linda Lewis has made to the UK music scene.
