Bobby Lewis (born February 17, 1927, Hodgerville, Kentucky) is an African-American rock and roll and R&B singer. Raised in an Indianapolis orphanage, he learned to play the piano by age six. Adopted at age twelve, he moved to a home in Detroit, Michigan. Growing up with the influences of the pioneer blues musicians until the advent of rock and roll, Lewis began to build a musical career in the 1950s, and in 1960 appeared at the Apollo Theatre in New York City[citation needed]. He recorded a 45rpm single called "Tossin' and Turnin'" that went to No.1 on the Billboard chart in July 1961. Later that year, he had a second Top Ten song, "One Track Mind," which would be his only other major hit record. Lewis' song, "Tossin' And Turnin'", composed by Ritchie Adams and Malou Rene, was featured in the soundtrack for the 1978 film, Animal House. The song would also be covered by Steve Goodman, The Replacements, Peter Criss and Jimmy Sturr. [1] |
