She is remembered for the singles "Rock-a-Doodle-Doo" (1973), "Sideway Shuffle" (1973), and her version of Betty Everett's "Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" (1975). Her discography includes solo albums, Lark (1972), Not a Little Girl Anymore (1975), Woman Overboard (1977), and the later Second Nature (1995). Over her career, Lewis provided backing vocals for other artists, including David Bowie, Al Kooper, Cat Stevens, Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, Rick Wakeman, Rod Stewart, Peter Bardens, Hummingbird, Joan Armatrading, and Jamiroquai.
Possessing a five-octave vocal range, Lewis built her reputation as a singer joining the British group Ferris Wheel in 1967. When the group disbanded in 1970, she went on to pursue a solo career.
A self-taught guitarist and keyboard player, Lewis was heavily influenced by Stevie Wonder and also drew inspiration from Joni Mitchell among others. With her blend of soul, folk, pop and reggae, she helped paved the way for today's artists like Des'ree and India.Arie.
After over a decade of non-stop touring, performing and recording, Lewis went on hiatus during the 1980s, spending over ten years in Los Angeles out of the public eye.
In 2003, Lewis appeared at the Glastonbury Festival. In 2006, she released the album, Live in Old Smokey, which featured a string of new songs and previously released ones that have been re-recorded. In the same year, she collaborated with Basement Jaxx.
In 2023, Lewis collaborated with UK folk-funk band The Paracosmos; their single "Earthling" featured additional vocals by Lewis.

Love this song by the lovely Linda Lewis!
Paula Teixeira
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
La la la la, light years away
La la la la, la ah ah ah
La-a-a-a-a-a, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Kate Pace
