Lew hails from the jewel Island known as Barbados, surrounded by the Caribbean sea; and is himself a gem of a singer. Popularly known among his loyal fans as “Jiggs”. Lew Kirton first showcased his unique vocal stylings as a young boy in his local church choir. He followed this by fronting one of the most popular bands on the Island known as the Blue Rhythm Combo or BRC to its legion of near fanatic followers. Lew’s artistic drive would soon find him in the cold Canadian climate; where he would star in the highly revered Lew Kirton Soul Review; however; this would soon fade in the background as Lew headed for the brighter lights of the Big Apple.

Lew’s star kept rising as he hooked up with the legendary soulful Duo of Sam and Dave; for years, he traveled and performed with these two premier soul men as a Drummer, while perfecting his own vocal skills. His next gig was with the popular R&B group, The Invitations. Lew’s stunning lead vocals propelled the group to four major hits on the Silver Blue Label, most notable of which was the chart busting single “They Say The Girl’s Crazy” A hit solo for T.K Records was next; titled, ”Heaven In The Afternoon”, this catchy number developed a cult following in the U.K, where it still enjoys regular air play to this day. Several other notable recordings followed, including “Its Where You’re Coming From” with B.Baker Jazz Ensemble, the album “Just Arrived” featuring the hit single ”Something Special”; and the very successful album “Talk To Me” featuring the hit single of the same name on CBS Records for the Believe in A Dream label.

Lew’s much anticipated 2005 release of the previously recorded “Forever” is released on the Tweedside label, with which he has had a long association; and with whom he previously recorded the hit “Don’t Wanna Wait”. Pour yourself a long cool one, sit back, relax, put your feet up, and slip this one on. Simply speaking; it’s a gem, you won’t be going anywhere for a while.

Lew Kirton is in the house.
