Old Smokey

"Old Smokey" was written by Lewis and is track eight of Lark, 3:21, released as a single in 1972 and did not chart. The Jointz of the Day blog calls it a stellar jam. No track-specific credits were found; the album's players are given on its page. We found no statement from Lewis about the song's meaning.

Common's "Go!", featuring John Mayer, from the album Be, was released on June 14, 2005 and produced by Kanye West, with scratches by A-Trak. It samples the bridge of "Old Smokey" and credits Lewis as a songwriter; it reached number 79 on the Hot 100, number 31 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop and number 21 on Hot Rap, and Entertainment Weekly ranked its video fourth-best of 2005. Lewis's 2006 live album takes its title from the song, Live in Old Smokey. Setlist.fm shows a single Linda Lewis setlist, in Turkey on March 23, 2007, without this song, and we could not tell which version our upload carries.
