For his third discharge, ‘Why Perform Fools Fall In Like’, a reworking of Frankie Lymon AS WELL AS THE Teens’ 1956 chart-topper, he presented Lewis to some wider market. The single acquired considerable publicity through ffrr Information, and narrowly skipped achieving the UK pop graph. In 1990, Lewis made an appearance on several releases, notably in conjunction with Janet Lee Davis for the edition of Keith And Enid’s ‘Concerned Over You’, while with Leo he documented a version from the Glucose Minott strike, ‘Good Thing Heading’. In 1993, the duo documented the reggae chart-topper ‘Hypnotic Like’, that was #1 1 for seven weeks.

The discharge of ‘Phat Ting’ proceeded to go a way towards relaxing the disaffected hardcore reggae supporters, who acquired become relatively disillusioned by Lewis’ crossover achievement.
