But even after landing the job he was initially unsure of what he had to offer in his new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe quickly saw how he could change someone who was so sad or in pain or just despondent and not really feeling hopeful about anything,\u201d Ms. Anglim said. \u201cAnd so it just energized him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was encouraged to start a healing-through-music program at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe love nothing more than when Jerome does a one-on-one singing performance for a patient.\u201d Ms. Anglim said. \u201cWe all knew what a great singer he was, because even as a security officer, sometimes he would just sing a song for someone that was really having a hard day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Lewis has built musical connections throughout the PBMC universe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter Sultan, one of the hospital&#8217;s top orthopedic surgeons, is also a skilled pianist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a piano in the lobby of the hospital, and one of the things [Dr. Sultan] does is between surgeries, as a stress reliever for himself, he will come down and play the piano,\u201d Ms. Anglim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe and Jerome connected from that, and they have become such good friends \u2014 so they play together all the time, sometimes for our patients, sometimes at community fundraisers or employee events. They\u2019re kind of our go-to duo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/video-1.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of PBMC, Mr. Lewis was also a familiar face at The Suffolk in Riverhead \u2014 where he works as a weekend security guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverybody loves Jerome,\u201d said Gary Hygom, The Suffolk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2021\/10\/107466\/suffolk-theater-names-new-director\/\">executive director<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s a gentle giant, and we just adore him. But I had no idea he was a performer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That changed at a Christmas party in 2023 when, to the surprise of many, Mr. Lewis took the mic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI got up there and sang a soulful version of <em>Santa Claus is Coming to Town,<\/em> dressed as Santa Claus,\u201d Mr. Lewis said with a laugh. \u201cEveryone was like, \u2018Wait, what\u2019s happening?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He approached Mr. Hygom a few months ago with an idea for a show dedicated to Nat King Cole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course, my answer was \u2018yes,\u2019\u201d Mr. Hygom said. \u201cHe\u2019s family. It wasn\u2019t about money\u2014it was about supporting someone we care about. And now? He\u2019s outselling some of our main-stage shows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Mr. Lewis, Nat King Cole has long been an inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe was a pioneer, a class act\u2014his voice, his style, his musicality,\u201d he said. \u201cHe represented elegance and excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In preparation for the Feb. 13 show, Mr. Lewis and his four-piece band have meticulously rehearsed 20 of Cole\u2019s timeless songs, including <em>L-O-V-E<\/em>, <em>Unforgettable<\/em> and <em>Stardust.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One song holds special meaning for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Smile<\/em> is one of my go-to songs for patients in difficult times,\u201d the singer said. \u201cYou can\u2019t sing <em>Smile<\/em> and not smile. I\u2019ve always incorporated Nat King Cole into my performances, but this is my first full-length tribute to him. It\u2019s going to be an incredible experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/Courtesy-Photos-Screenshot-2025-02-03-at-2.24.43%E2%80%AFPM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124544\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that his act is a tribute, not an impersonation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not me trying to <em>be <\/em>Nat King Cole on stage. That&#8217;s why I call it a celebration of Nat King Cole&#8217;s love songs,&#8221; Mr. Lewis said. &#8220;I want to interpret his music with my own soulful flair, but also honor his artistry. He was an expert storyteller and his musicality allowed people to feel the love through his music, through his voice. To have this opportunity to honor someone who I\u2019ve always looked up to \u2026 I\u2019m so excited.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So are his PBMC colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur whole team has tickets,\u201d Ms. Anglim said. \u201cWe\u2019re all going to be there, and we can&#8217;t wait to cheer him on.
