Keyboard whiz Webster Lewis plays a really fun jazz song with voices called "Barbara Ann" from the recording "Touch My Love" circa 1978. He never hit it really big but was successful in producing, commercials, and movie soundtracks. He passed away at age 59 in 2002 from diabetes. "Barbara Ann" keeps his name alive for many of us and I love this performance. RIP.
Classic Jazz Funk brings back memories from the hey day of all dayers jazz room - Rock City, Birmingham Locarno/Powerhouse, Lyceum, Leadmill Sheffield et al. Great fun times.
My favorite tune by Webster! In heaven I imagine the muisc would sound something like this. Bright, airy ,joyful, moving, very beautiful- makes you want to dance forever. Bravo Webster!
Webster was my professor in college. All 4 of his CBS/EPIC Albums are being released on CD on Expansion Records from the UK. Check it out. It will be released in the next month.
Friends and I used to go to Webster Lewis performances in Boston. Always a stand out. This song is a heavy trip down memory lane. Thanks for putting it up.

Webster Lewis was an true musical treasure to this world. He was undeservingly underrated! Not given the true recognition he deserves.
Should be up there with Chick Corea , Ramsey Lewis , Bob James . Etc .. I remember this at the Jazz Funk alldayers wonderful tune
Agreed! Tragic really.
The man was a musical genius
Marvelous Jazz/Funk! Webster Lewis masterfully blends his driving theme music and his solo with a catchy melody sung by sweet voices.
