Linda Lewis' five-octave voice was in a class of its own, particularly when the singer wrote her material and combined soul and folk with light funk accents. Lewis debuted in 1967 and truly launched her career the next decade with Say No More... (1971). Although the exquisite Lark (1972) is generally considered her artistic peak, she didn't chart in her native U.K. until the Top 20 "Rock a Doodle Doo" (1973), which was soon eclipsed by the discofied Top Ten hit "It's in His Kiss" (1975). At the same time, Lewis was highly sought as a background vocalist. She worked with Cat Stevens, David Bowie, and Marc Bolan, and after her solo activity slowed in the '80s, she figured prominently on recordings by Joan Armatrading and Jamiroquai. Lewis updated her early-'70s sound for a handful of '90s albums and subsequently collaborated with Basement Jaxx and Paul Weller. "Earthling," her final recording, was released before her death in 2023.
