Ephraim Lewis - Summer Lightning (Late Show)

[anercandelario]

The sad history of Mr. Lewis is that the cops were called to his apartment for a noise complaint. He was reportedly high on something and got scared and leapt out of his window, naked, to his death. RIP

Fabulous and special! Anybody got Mr Lewis' unreleased second album? Please upload any other discography than the debut album 'Skin'.

@muzo56281721 That album was never finished, matter of fact I believe he died before he even began working on it.

[TheJaycob1990]

@larrybfresh20 Larry, he did not get to record a full album, but he did finish some songs for it. If you type in the names Ephraim Lewis Glen Ballard into Google then you should come across a magazine interview in which Glenn says that he recorded some songs with him, but Ephraim did not live to complete the album.

I think this shows where Maxwell, D'Angelo and others got their inspiration

@Douggiie = pretty much

Outstanding vocal. Sing your song...

This video documents the incredible talent Epharim Lewis possesed. The music mogals believed he was Britian's answer to the late Donnie Hathaway, How ironic, his life would end under similar circumstances. His record was released in 1992 to critical acclaimed. The public did not respond in purchsing this epic album. His songs are timeless, revealing a spiritual beauty. Though only a small legion know of Ephraim, his songs and voice continue to touch souls.
