Forget the attempts at describing the genre, be it soul, R&B, jazz, pop--whatever--this is simply music at its best. Yes, there are shades of Seal, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and others, but Lewis was a true original. The melodies, the arrangements, the lyrics--all completely captivating. Smooth, yet powerful. One of my all time highest recommendations. I am deeply saddened there will be no more from this great artist. This album was his one and only, so buy it and drink from it often. It will get under your skin....
