The are spread across Ace/Kent CDs so it seems from Discogs 

I think his Modern and his releases as JG lewis are, nOT sure about his BoMar, Cancer, Paula & ICA releases?  Would make a good comp though.

Let the Music Play (as J G Lewis) on Super Duper Love (Mainstream Hits and Rarities 1973-76) - (CD KEND 457) 

You Make Me Feel Like Someone on Kent/Modern's Serious Shades of Soul (CD KEND119)

I thought there was but nothing showed on a search on Ace

Just been listening through the various tracks mentioned above.  Great, great vocals (especially on That's Her (That's The Girl For You)), but one wonders what impression (pun intended) his Jerry Butler-style (or clone) vocals created on Curtis Mayfield, when Curtis' former group-mate and friend was performing at his peak in the late sixties/early seventies, albeit contracted elsewhere (Mercury).

I do not have the "gimme some mod jazz" compilation, or the original 45/album, so can't check the liner notes/credits, but is Mission Impossible our man?  He is described as a bassist above and a guitar-player and musical director elsewhere, but neither instrument comes to the fore on the Hammond-organ driven canter through this oft-recorded film music.

Said before. What a compilation LP it would be . Must be somebody that interested in compiling!

Interest or not the problem with releasing a compilation album/cd is that you have to secure licensing deals with several different owners of the masters, some may be receptive to the idea and some not. If some of the tracks are owned by major labels they may want crazy money to license tracks which wouldn't make the project viable.
