| BIO Born Shirley Lewis February 25, 1937 to James and Alma Lewis in Sicklerville N Jersey a southern New Jersey girl 3 from the youngest of 13 children has been singing since the age of 4 under the guidance of her Hopi Indian father who wrote down words to songs for the children to sing, they sang in fairs, schools, churches, atheletic events, and at family gatherings all the while she was being groomed to become a world class entertainer not just a singer but a singer who could and would wow audiences no matter where she performed her dad once told her she was born to sing and Shirley chose the profession of singing after finishing high school and business school to take a stab and chance at singing with a group who opened for BB King in the early 60's she was sought out by the scouts looking for someone who had the potential and the capability to open for someone like BB King it was a lot different back then, then it is now you got paid as an opener not just for exposure it covered both ends now a days the clubs want you to open just for exposure this is what they offer young blues acts today so sad/ Shirley quips. For Shirley singing is like poetry and dance all in one and making people have fun while she is on stage doing the same thing having fun. Ms Lewis has not always sang under the name of Lewis she sang under her former name Granger she went back to Lewis after divorcing her husband #2. Ms Lewis had been through 3 marriages ending because of some form of abuse, Shirley has raised to beautiful daughters singing and traveling throughout the U.S, Canada,& Mexico. Shirley Lewis |
