	Limited Smiley Lewis Discography
		Smiley Lewis is one of the founders of New Orleans rhythm and blues.
		But at the time, the sound Smiley Lewis produced seemed too "rough" for the general white audiences of the 1950s.
		Dave Bartholomew is quoted as saying Smiley is one of the unluckiest people recording; he never sold more than 100,000 copies of a single record.

		Dave Bartholomew has often been quoted to the effect that Smiley Lewis was a "bad luck singer," because he never sold more than 100,000 copies of his Imperial singles.
		In retrospect, Lewis was a lucky man in many respects -- he enjoyed stellar support from New Orleans' ace sessioneers at Cosimo's, benefited from top-flight material and production (by Bartholomew), and left behind a legacy of marvelous Crescent City RandB.
		Smiley Lewis ' place as one of the greatest New Orleans RandB artists of the 1950s is certainly assured.

		Lewis and his trio were back in the studio in March 1950 at the invitation of Dave Bartholomew who was beginning to produce records for the Hollywood-based Imperial label.
		Smiley named the car “Lillie Mae” in tribute to his mother and painted the names of several of his songs on the Cadillac’s body.
		Lewis, on the other hand, sang about staying drunk all weekend, dirty people and going to jail for beating his woman—hardly subjects white teenage record buyers were interested in at the time.

		Smiley Lewis, real name Overton Lemon, was, possibly, from Texas.
		This track was recorded in New Orleans, a city that played an influential role in the birth and development of RandB and Rock and Roll, so much so that during the 1950s the West Coast Imperial label set up recording studios there.
		Smiley's first recorded outing was in 1949 on the De-Luxe label, he was a prolific artist releasing scores of records, sadly very few were released in England, in fact only four were issued contemporaneously, 'Shame' was one of them.

		Wonderful voice in R&B context, but lacked warm colour of Domino's; back- room feeling on 'Knocking' perhaps too tough, not pretty enough for pop chart then.

	R&B, Soul, Doo-Wop - Patti LaBelle -> Smiley Lewis
		Though she was never a powerhouse soul star like her contemporary and label-mate Aretha Franklin, Lewis recorded lots of gentle music well worth revisiting, offered here in solid stereo sound, with worthwhile notes by David Nathan, and journeyman graphics.
		Following the stereotypic storyline of his era, Bobby Lewis struck chart gold with his first Beltone outing, the title tune here which rose to number one in 1961, and never saw those glorious heights again.
		There's a listing of Smiley's singles and track annotations for each of the cuts included here though no personnel information are given.

		While failing to gain the commercial plaudits his work deserved, this New Orleans-based artist was responsible for some of that city's finest music.
		He made his recording debut, as Smiling Lewis, in 1947, but his strongest work appeared during the 50s.
		His original version of "Blue Monday" was a hit in the hands of Fats Domino, while Elvis Presley took another song, "One Night", and by altering its risqué lyric, secured a massive pop hit in the process.
