Hello Stranger

This was Lewis' first hit single and biggest hit. Along with this song, she wrote all the material for her debut album of the same name; during the early sixties, it was somewhat rare for a female singer to write her own material, especially for an entire album.

The backup vocals were provided by the Chicago-based R&B male group The Dells.

In 1977, a version by Yvonne Elliman reached US #15 and UK #26.
