C. J. Lewis (born Steven James Lewis,[1] 1 February 1967)[2] is a British reggae singer. His biggest hit single was the 1994 cover version of "Sweets for My Sweet". The track was produced by Phillip Leo, as was his debut album, Dollars (UK No. 44).[1] The vocals were performed by Samantha Depasois, a British vocalist who also sang on the tracks "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" and "Best of My Love", and provided the vocals for Dollars. Leo co-wrote original material on Dollars, including "Dollars" (UK No. 34) and "R to the A" (UK No. 34).[1]
