The Best Ramsey Lewis Sampler Available

"As another reviewer has noted, this is NOT a re-issue of the original LP. It's actually something even better - a sampler of the best tracks from the original "Wade in the Water" LP and from Ramsey's commercial and artistic tour-de-force "The In Crowd."As such, this CD documents Lewis' last hurrah before selling out to easy listening jazz-pop. It's funky, bluesy, swinging jazz that almost anyone will enjoy.Don't bother with a greatest hits collection - this is the Ramsey Lewis you want."

"I have loved this album since I was a small child. The music is pure joy...and I'm ecstatic that I can finally find a clean non-scratched recording and get one for my father also. When you listen, be ready to drive fast in a convertable or have plenty of room to dance."
