Funky Serenity (1973). Album by Ramsey Lewis.

Ramsey Lewis had'nt quite shaken off the influences of the sould-jazz he helped popularize in the 60's so this album has (by 1973) a very retro feel. Only the grooving opening song and "Serene Funk" look to a new future. Elsewhere he retreads old territory with covers of "Betcha By Golly Wow" and so forth. So I think fans of. his Ramsey Lewis Trio period will probably find this album alot more enjoyable as an introduction to his later electric music,even if it isn't always very jazzy.

Cleveland Eaton, Ed Greene, and Morris Jennings accompany Ramsey Lewis on this commercial-flavored 1973 release. While jazz/pop/soul versions of "Where Is the Love" and "If Loving You Is Wrong" come off limp, spacy renditions of "Nights in White Satin"; Eaton, Jennings, and Lewis' two compositions, "Serene Funk" and "Dreams"; and a beautiful interpretation of Thom Bell and Linda Creed's "Betcha by Golly Wow" make this an enjoyable and essential reissue. Originally issued on Columbia Records (1973).
