Dave Lewis - From Time To Time (repost)

Dave Lewis - From Time To Time - 1976 

David Lewis began playing guitar and piano and writing songs at a very young age, appearing in talent contests and on local TV in Northern Ireland.

In 1967 he joined psychedelic band The Method who became Andwellas Dream in 1968. In 1969 while still a member of Andwellas Dream, he recorded some of his songs for a publisher's demo album "The Songs Of David Lewis". Intended as a calling card for his song-writing skills, this was a very limited private pressing, probably only a few hundred copies made, and is now a major rarity.

Andwellas Dream released three albums between 1969-1971, the last two under the name Andwella. The band also worked on David Baxter's solo LP during this period. When Andwella split, David pursued a solo career.

Two solo albums emerged on Polydor Records, "From Time to Time" in 1976 and "A Collection of Short Dreams" in 1978. The former is soft melodic AOR, the latter more uptempo soul. Both are difficult to locate but are bound to be somewhat of a disappointment to those expecting something in the vein of Andwellas "Love and Poetry" album. However the songs are well written and the playing excellent through. Not a million miles away from Boz Scaggs mid-70s records.

Dave has also written many songs for other artists including "Happy To Be On An Island In The Sun", which was a worldwide hit for legend in his own lunchtime Demis Roussos.

Dave Lewis - The Godfather Of Northwest Rock & The King Of Seattle R&B (repost)

Dave Lewis - The Godfather Of Northwest Rock & The King Of Seattle R&B - 2006

from wikipedia

David Eugene "Dave" Lewis (1938 – March 13, 1998) was an African American rock and rhythm & blues (R&B) keyboardist, organist and vocalist based in Seattle, Washington, USA. Peter Blecha accounts his Dave Lewis Combo as "Seattle's first significant African American 1950s rock and roll band" and Lewis himself as "the singularly most significant figure on the Pacific Northwest's nascent rhythm & blues scene in the 1950s and 1960s. Read more HERE

In the 1960`s and 1970`s, Dave Lewis was a major star in the Northwest, with hits such as "David`s Mood" and "Little Green Thing" that featured his tasty, funky Hammond B3 organ playing. He was signed to A & M Records, released several albums, and was a sure-fire draw in clubs. This is the first CD release containing the Jerden Masters recorded in the studio as well as live performances. 24 tracks that constitute the definitive Dave Lewis.
