==Career==
Lewis began his singing career in gospel music. He was one of only two males to have sung with the Clara Ward Singers〔 and sang with the gospel group right up to the day before he auditioned for George Treadwell at Philadelphia's Uptown Theater where he was hired on the spot. Lewis joined the Drifters as lead vocalist, replacing departed group member Ben E. King, and ended up performing most of King's repertoire live in concert.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/rudy-lewis-p189121/biography )〕
Lewis was the lead vocalist for a string of hits: "Please Stay", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "Up On The Roof" and "On Broadway". He also featured on other tracks such as: "Another Night With The Boys", "Beautiful Music", "Jackpot", "Let The Music Play", "Loneliness Or Happiness", "Mexican Divorce", "Only In America", "Rat Race", "She Never Talked To Me That Way", "Somebody New Dancing With You", "Stranger On The Shore", "Vaya Con Dios" and "What To Do".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uncamarvy.com/DriftersLate/drifterslate.html )〕
In April 1963, Lewis recorded his solo single ”Baby I Dig Love” along with the B-side ”I've Loved You So Long”. The record was released the following month, but never reached the charts. He was a member of the Drifters from late 1960 until his untimely death in 1964.〔 In 1988, Lewis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Drifters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rockhall.com/inductees/the-drifters/ )〕
