[@sam8290]

Linda you still sound like a 20 year old. So cool...

[@hywelwilliams5450]

Amazing Linda .remember you from the 70s

[@denisespencer6550]

Very underrated singer. Sadly missed but never forgotten

[@teresabillington3238]

Linda as always "'nailed it ",she should have been a much bigger star in the 70's than she was.An absolutely astounding vocal range and had more talent in her little finger than these " so called "New artistes of 2day put together. No auto tune needed. She plays her guitar well and writes her own songs.Linda Lewis u rTimeless!

Lovely Linda. You will be missed. 💕

[@alexandreramos8692]

1975, eu tinha 6 anos de idade, muito criança e quando ouvi a linda pela primeira vez fique apaixonado pelo estilo e voz, tempo que passa e hoje revendo alguns vídeos no KZbin, descubro que ela se foi, meu Deus, não consigo acreditar, que ela continue cantando no coral para Deus.😢

[@trevorpugh6475]

Wow, Linda’s voice was as beautiful as ever in this recording making it all the more poignant now that we have lost her and way too soon…😢

[@alanellaway5489]

Many years ago. I met Linda and visited her in her home. We had a mutual friend " Toad", ( Antoinette) I went to Glastonbury too.a d remember her performing. I had and held on to her first album. She was so pretty and sweet. Childlike and enthusiastic. I only just learned she passed last year. Bless Her! Remembered with love

I've been a fan since I first heard "Lark", back in the 70's. It's great to hear Linda Lewis still singing with her unique, amazing style! There has never been any other singer like her.

[@NickyM_0]

RIP Linda Lewis 😢

[@twinkle3026]

Linda still looks and sounds gorgeous! xxxxx

[@MusicSkyHigh]

Thank you Linda , you passed away but left us you with this loving song and other amazing tracks to be remembered as well. I used to think Linda Lewis was one of those glorious American soul singers associated with Motown like Stephanie Mills. or Deniece Williams but Linda is English from London. It's rare for soul singers to be originated from the UK. But we will remember Linda Lewis forever. ******❤

[@TazW73]

[@paulateixeira1909]

Been to a lorry just for a bite Feeling full and warm and soul It's a silent silhouette night And the crescent moon's aglow Caressing a cloud We whisper out loud And our voices are found light years away Light years away Light years away Light years away Breathing in this breathless sea Our eyes they turn to warm The tall grey church upon the green Spiraling heaven wall Touching trance spiraled sky And we both want to fly Like that shooting star dying light years away Light years away Light years away Light years away Light years away When we hold hands, I feel the power lines In this old land, it wasn't the first time I loved you, deja vu Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh {SAXOPHONE SOLO} And when we're both unearthed again And the stars plow all alone It's turning rum, it looks like rain Gonna make our way back home On the roll on the log And feed the red dog We're like peas in a pod light years away Light years awa-ay-ay-ay-ay Hey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey Light years away La la la la, light years away
