Ramsey Lewis - The Best Of (1970)

From The Lost Record Covers Club

Bought following the release of "Wade In The Water" the track that introduced Ramsey Lewis to many, this includes some wonderful versions of well known songs.  One of my favourites is "Les Fleurs" a song from the Chess label mates Rotary Connection.  Includes "Uptight" "Function At The Junction" "Dancing In The Street" from the Motown catalogue but also extends to sweeping orchestra full tracks which show the breadth of his work.  This captures the Chess stuff - he later moved to CBS where he moved into more electronics - "Spring High" being a favourite.

Worth seeking out.
