In the 1990s, Lewis worked with southern soul singers Carl Sims and Vickie Baker. Because of the difficulty of operating a competitive independent record label in a major-label dominated industry, Lewis offered Jewel Records for sale while retaining control of his music publishing companies and the Susie-Q and Gospel Jubilee labels, which recorded Doug Kershaw and Ace Cannon. In 1999, EMusic.com purchased from Lewis the recording rights of the Jewel label. Lewis in his later years was a consultant for an [[Internet]] music business located in Redwood, [[California]].<ref name=findagrave/> KEEL Radio said that Lewis "did it all. Shreveport's rich musical history probably wouldn't be what it is without Stan and his work."<ref name=keel/>
