Jazz great, Ramsey Lewis, passes away, age 87

[Dan Murphy]

Chicago jazz great, Ramsey Lewis, passed away today. Lewis and his Ramsey Lewis Trio had many great songs, especially in the late 50's, 60's and early 70's. He and his piano created such good music over so many years. RIP, and thank you. God speed.

We have listened to his program Legends of Jazz, every Sunday afternoon on 90.9fm WDCB. Always a treat.

Didn't Ramsey Lewis perform the song The In-Crowd? I understand that there was also a version on The In-Crowd that was performed by The Impressions? I got to listen to Ramsey Lewis this morning and he is awesome and he was really great at the piano and he also has a nice Christmas album too with a wonderful version of Sleigh Ride
