Lewie stayed with Brett Marvin until 1973, its mainstream hit single being \”Seaside Shuffle\”, another Lewie composition. After the demise of Terry Dactyl, Lewie had initially looked likely to remain a part of a one-hit wonder group.

By the end of 1980, he was back in the UK charts with what became his biggest hit, \”Louise in the Kitchen at Parties\”
