Lewis started performing in clubs around London as a teenager and was discovered by producer Ian Samwell. In 1971, she released her debut single “Reach for the Truth” on the Raft label, and soon after signed with Reprise Records.

Lewis’s music blended folk, funk, and soul, and her sound was heavily influenced by artists such as Harry Nilsson, Billie Holiday, and Smokey Robinson. She was a self-taught guitarist and keyboard player and drew inspiration from others such as Joni Mitchell.

Her five-octave vocal range was a defining feature of her music and set her apart from other artists of her time. Her voice was powerful and dynamic, and she had the ability to sing in the whistle register.

In 1995, she released Second Nature, which became successful in countries such as Japan. She is best known for the singles “Rock-a-Doodle-Doo” (1973), “Sideway Shuffle” (1973), and her version of Betty Everett’s “Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss)” (1975).

She also provided backing vocals for other artists, including David Bowie, Al Kooper, Cat Stevens, Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, Rick Wakeman, Rod Stewart, Peter Bardens, Hummingbird, Joan Armatrading, and Jamiroquai.
