Lewis performed "At the Beginning" with Richard Marx for the film Anastasia. Her second LP, Blue Planet, won critical acclaim, but it was largely overlooked by the public. Although it eventually produced a U.S. number-one dance single, "Love Him", Lewis parted ways with Atlantic Records and independently produced her third LP, Be Still, which featured Lewis on an almost entirely acoustic set. Lewis was featured as a guest vocalist on several trance music/house music recordings. Her new LP, In the Pink, is due for release in 2007. Image File history File links DonnaLewis. ...
