Notes:
Ramsey Lewis' connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a significant aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on jazz, soul, and funk styles. However, Lewis' eclectic approach to music and his interest in incorporating diverse influences into his compositions may have occasionally led to the use of elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern or other non-Western musical traditions. Any such influences would likely be subtle and integrated into his overall jazz and pop-influenced style rather than being an explicit exploration of Middle Eastern themes.
