@GordonKeys: Eliot Lewis is one of the most talented and versatile artists of our time.!!
From what I've read, it looks like he is branching out, making his own CD's. He is also a very talented photographer. His talents are endless, his voice is incredible. All I can say is stay tuned!!
@lired70 Eliot doesn't get much of a turn on Daryl's show. Why he isn't in AWB now is beyond me. He plays get bass, guitar, and keys. What an asset to AWB. Miss him in the band.
I was waiting to hear this song and when Eliot Lewis started to sing my ear pirked up and I've been in love with his voice every since. How can he not want to sing this song anymore. I might understand how he wants to do his own thing but that wasn't Minsky Minsk singing that was the silky smooth voice of Mr. Lewis himself and he doesn't get his just do's. I love his music, all of it in all of it's forms.
I've been finding out about Eliot Lewis in reverse. Found out about hm from Daryl Hall (and - Live From Daryl's House), and worked my way backwards to Average White Band.
Eliot Lewis has a great voice and is really cute! Nice. Beauty and talent. I bet he's smart too! I wish he'd get back with AWB, or do some cool solo stuff. Not sure how much Hall and Oats I can take, granted they were great back in the day! HOLLA!
@OGGilmoregirlz1 Nope, they added the Reaggea beat and this makes it all so interesting. Dion Warwick is the one who made it most fanous in the '60s and '70s. She's a classic too. Check her out. Sheis Whitney Houston's aunt.
Had noticed Elliot on keyboard, when discovering all the great musicians and performances on Daryl's House. Loved when Alan Gorrie was playing Pick Up the Pieces with Daryl.
Back in March 1992, I was staying down Cape Cod, and in the hotel lobby was a flyer for the Average White Band playing at Christine's in Dennis. We had dinner in the restaurant and people were going into the big function room and we thought AWB was sold out. We gave the doorman a tip and sat at a little table right across from the band with about 10 ft. of floorspace. They were incredible. Elliot was new to the band and excellent! What a treat to seem them so intimately. Awesome memory.
Damn, Eliot. You were fun too flirt with during the H.&O. concert on Sept. 22nd here in Washington. So lucky you guys started the tour here! Hope you remember the crazy girl standing on the chair pleading to go backstage. Maybe next time you're through this area... ;)
I like this vesion a lot I love the AWB. Is Elliot Lewis a studio muscian/singer who works with different bands and sings solo with his own band or does he just play for the AWB?
@garrygmc Yes I blieve he is. The last I heard he went with Hall and Oats (!). Sorry but they are lame these days. I want Elliot to get back with AWB--please!
I got to meet Eliot last Friday night (7/23/2010) in downtown Chicago. Hall & Oates was playing to a sold-out crowd at teh Chicago theater. I had 16th row seats for the show, and I was outside the entrance smoking before the show (along with hundreds of others).. Eliot came around the corner to take a picture of the theatre marquee when I spotted him. I waited until he headed back down the alley towards the stage door before I hollered at him. We spoke for 10 minutes - nicest guy you could meet.
Oh Elliot, you are SO hot. Will you marry me? I'll be at SUMMERFEST in Milwaukee to hear you guys tomorrow for the 4th of JULY. I'd never walk on by you!! I'd walk with you and never say good-bye!!! You'd break down and cry cuz I'd love you SO much!! WISH YOU COULD read this and serenade me tomorrow night!
You're playing same time as Danny Gokey too! Love ya! KAT
Saw Them 4 free with Rare Earth. They did not do their signature song...Get Ready. They had Elliot on bass.Elliot is good on bass,but I like the original set up,Dam..I want to meet them talk about music
Elliot Lewis ,I know of from Live from Daryl's House , damn what a great vocalist /bass player . His falsetto work is out standing ,no strain . Hey Daryl let take some lead vocals on something.He is a awesome musician .
@76alembic Hi, I'm glad you commented on Elliot's voice - he is wasted on backing vocals/keyboards with Daryl Hall and Chromeo. I take it you're a bassist given your youtube user name. I always wanted to play one (Alembic bass) but sadly never had the money.
Elliot Lewis is amazing; he plays keyboards for H&O, guitar for AWB and sings!. Also, check out video of him and Monte Montgomery doing Sara Smile. BTW, I brought about Daryl Hall and Monte getting together by sending Monte's clip on Youtube! Power of the internet....!
Sounds great! Did they give you free tix to theri concert or a CD? :). I am going to try to see AWB when they are in town in NY in Dec. I will check out the H&O. Elliot Lewis is the bomb!
top muscianship,and vocal harmony ,All got soul in there gor dam blood mun wicked doys , the type of band i want to be in all feel, soul, and emotion,True blue fan, since AWB were born Credit to the live sound &mixing engineers (good ears) makes top listening,keep making soulful,funk music.
This is just such a fantastic amazing song and I can't stop playing it... Now I have to sit down and watch it. It just makes me get up and shake mah boody thing like a bollywoodaholic wmata woman.
Whoever you are, you're a sick bastard!!!! If Obama has the mark of the beast, Bush must have been the beast himself!! I get so sick of you idiots going on and on about this man, but, you did'nt open your f____king mouths for 8 years when you watched a man almost singlehandedly destroy this country!!!! Shut the hell up!!!!!
These guys a great! Any one has any suggestions as to what other bands I might like which have a similar style to these guys?I got interested in funk after listening to the red hot chili peppers, so i'm trying to explore that genre (funk). thanks!
Not sure if it is genetic or environmental but all black people don't have the inclination for funk and some white people do. Might as well get used to it we're all trapped in this mixed up funky world.
Hey, it doesn't matter if one is blue, green, white, black or yellow! Music is INTERNATIONAL! I have always loved the AWB because THEY HAVE SOUL! Go on you mates! Nnek@ ;o) xxx
