About Smiley Lewis
- Overton Amos Lemons (July 5, 1913 – October 7, 1966), known as Smiley Lewis, was an American New Orleans rhythm and blues singer and guitarist.
- The music journalist Tony Russell wrote that "Lewis was the unluckiest man in New Orleans.
- He hit on a formula for slow-rocking, small-band numbers like 'The Bells Are Ringing' and 'I Hear You Knocking' only to have Fats Domino come up behind him with similar music with a more ingratiating delivery.
- Lewis was practically drowned in Domino's backwash."
