Linda moved back to England in the mid-1990s. After lying dormant for several years, the desire to make music was re-awakened in her and she made an album called "Second Nature" for Turpin Records in 1995. The album became a hit in Japan, a place where Linda's popularity has never diminished. Other albums for Turpin followed in 1997 ("Whatever") and 1999 ("Kiss Of Life").

Linda Lewis

In 2002, Warner Music released "Reach For The Truth - The Best of The Reprise Years", an anthology covering Linda's work during the Seventies.

In 2003, BMG also released a retrospective including all her hit singles for the label, entitled "The Best of Linda Lewis" and in 2005 released a 3 CD box set which includes all her hits plus several rarities. To her delight, Linda's song "Old Smokey" was used by hot R&B artist, Common and his producer Kanye West on the track "Go!", the single from the No.1 R&B album, "Be".

Linda continues to record and perform live, appearing at Glastonbury Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival and London hot spots, Ronnie Scott's Club and The Jazz Café. She was also the special guest of George Benson at the famous Monte Carlo Sporting Club.

Her album "Live In Old Smokey" (recorded at Ronnie Scotts in London), was released in March 2006, together with the single "I Keep A Wish".

She continues to write and record with gusto. The word is that a new record is in the pipeline for 2009, so watch this space….
