has recorded over 80 albums and has received seven gold records and three Grammy Awards in his storied career. In the mid 60’s, Lewis was the nation’s most successful jazz pianist, topping the charts with "The 'In' Crowd" and "Hang On Sloopy". Both singles each sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs. Now Ramsey is revisiting these classic records with a very special night.
“The In Crowd” provided Ramsey Lewis with his biggest hit reaching the top position on the Billboard R&B Chart and No. 2 on their top 200 albums chart in 1965 and the single, “The ‘In’ Crowd” reaching No. 2 on the R&B Chart and No. 5 on the Hot 100 singles chart in the same year. The album also received a Grammy Award in 1966 for Best Instru-mental Jazz Performance by an Individual or Group and the single was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2009.
“Hang On Ramsey!” reached No. 4 on the R&B charts and No. 15 on The Billboard top 200. Ramsey had another big hit in “Hang on Sloopy,” and the set (as with the “The ‘In’ Crowd”) was recorded at a live show before an enthusiastic crowd. The amazing set also includes a couple of Beatles tunes, “Hard Days Night” and “I Love Her” as well as “He’s a Real Gone Guy,” “Billy Boy,” and “Hi-Heel Sneakers” among the highlights.
