Ramsey Lewis - Legacy
Review by ruy sposati
Ramsey Lewis' album Legacy is a masterful collection of jazz music that showcases the legendary pianist's musical prowess and versatility. From the opening track "The Way She Smiles" to the closing number "To Know Her Is To Love Her," each song is a testament to Lewis' virtuosity and his ability to create music that is both soulful and sophisticated.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sun Goddess," which features vocals from Earth, Wind & Fire's Maurice White. The song's funky groove and catchy melody make it a perfect showcase for Lewis' keyboard skills, while White's soulful singing adds an extra layer of depth and emotion.
Another highlight of the album is the Latin-tinged "Brazilica," which features a lively percussion section and a playful piano melody that is sure to get listeners moving. The song's infectious energy is a testament to Lewis' ability to blend different musical styles and create something that is uniquely his own.

Classic 9th!
This album is awesome.
@Spankeedoodle She may suit funk but her songs are shit...
samplesamplesample
oooh ramsey lewis...this tune is so relaxing and smooth in its own way. thank you VERY much for uploading.
9th Wonder sampled this on album "Black Album Rejects"
Beyonce is amazing man ... i dont even know how you put beyonce and lil wayne together... Beyonce's voice is suttin serious cuzo
Beyonce may have somewhat of a voice but her songs are shitty, full of ridiculous hooks (a diva is a female hustler) and no substance
People, how can we get this type of music back on the market and get rid of the Beyonces and Lil Waynes?
OMG!! Thanks for uploading this!
It's really sad when I see the younger folks on BET getting all riled up on this rubbish which passes for music today yet they would turn up their noses at music like this.
