Elektra Records Recording Artist
1968-1994
EPHRAIM LEWIS is one of my all-time favorite male singers. If you like soul, R&B, and beautiful, catchy pop music, then you MUST own his album, "Skin"!!! Many people compare his voice and style to that of SEAL, but I think that Ephraim Lewis is even more talented! I still listen to this amazing album all the time, and I can't get enough of it! My favorite songs on the album are "Captured" and "Drowning In Your Eyes."
Sadly, this GREAT performer died on March 18, 1994 at the young age of only 26, shortly after his first album was released. Since his album came out, I have managed to collect what I believe to be the largest collection of Ephraim Lewis memorabilia, and recorded items (CDs, vinyl, videos) from around the world. This fan site showcases some items from my collection that I am happy to share with you. It's hard to believe it's been nearly 16 years since this great talent passed away. But his music will always live on in the hearts of his fans around the world.
This site is the ONLY site devoted to Ephraim Lewis on the entire internet. I have included every single photo and bit of information that I could possibly collect. If you have ANY additional information, photos, or stories to contribute to this page, please e-mail me, and let me know what you'd like to share. Thank you!
Sincerely,
February, 2010
If you think there’s nothing left, better turn around....
"I am so sorry that Ephraim had to die like that, but I believe now that he is an angel watching over us.
I believe he is an angel healing us still with his music.
I think God lent him to us for a short while.
The world is too cruel for angels like Ephraim,
so he couldn't stay here no longer."
