RICHMOND, Calif., Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The late, legendary pianist Ramsey Lewis offers an intimate, familiar affair with his solo piano recording "The Beatles Songbook: The Saturday Salon Series, Volume One," to be released January 6 on Steele Records. This selection of tunes by the iconic songwriting duo of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, approved for release by Lewis, is also a surprising DIY project, created during livestreamed sessions in Lewis's own Chicago home.

Key Points: 
  • Lewis, of course, is no stranger to covering of postwar pop music.
  • He has even assayed the Beatles' catalog before, scoring a minor hit with "A Hard Day's Night" and even releasing "Mother Nature's Son," an homage to the Beatles' White Album, in 1968.
  • Always an artist with a populist touch, Lewis included the Beatles' songs in his webcasts because it was music that, like his own, had demonstrated universal appeal.
  • Even with their exhaustive coverage, Lewis is able to unlock new secrets and breathe new life into the tunes.
