At the age of four, he began taking piano lessons. His first band was The Clefs but would eventually form the Ramsey Lewis Trio. His debut with the trio was Ramsey Lewis and His Gentlemen of Swing (1956). Within ten years, Lewis had become one of the most popular pianists in the U.S. when his 1965 album The ‘In’ Crowd hit Number 2 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and the title track reached Number 5 on the Hot 100 Singles chart. The album won Lewis his first Grammy Award for Best Jazz Performance – Small Group or Soloist fair. Throughout his 80+ album career, he played with a revolving cast of trio members as well with Small Group. Moving slightly away from jazz, the Ramsey Lewis Trio began to concentrate on more pop-oriented material.
Their next album, also released in ’65, was Hang On Ramsey!, which found them tackling “Hang On Sloopy” plus a few tracks by The Beatles and other pop and jazz as recording albums as a solo artist. His vast catalog includes Mother Nature’s Son (1968), Them Changes (1970), The Groover (1972), the Grammy-winning Ramsey Lewis’ Newly Recorded All-Time Non-Stop Golden Hits (1973).
