      Yes, I am a stickler for facts. In my opinion he was the best lead singer for T.O.P.

    I was a child, but I remember my older brothers and sisters listen to him, and that made me love the music. He had the IT thing then, and he still do. Went to most of the concerts. Best lead man of T.O.P 🎉❤

    LOL! I was prescribed all of those "medicines" back in the day from my next door "pharmacist" but my favorite was just plain Mexican because I could not stop laughing from the "side effects." We also put our medicine in brownies too. Anyone remember that? Anyway, Lenny has still got it. I remember a live clip of So Very Hard to Go back in '73 where the trumpeter's bell had a built in angle upwards when he played his solo part. I thought it was the Midnight Special but I looked it up on YT and was a regular trumpet. Maybe it was a different appearance on MS. I love that solo. I used to play it on my Trombone.

    Absolutely fantastic!! very few artists can continue to sing the same as they did 30 years ago. Musicians too. Age comes for us and it's sad when the best of the best lose their ability to sing as they did in their prime. Right here, is hands down the best now as they were when this song first came out. Thankyou for bringing back memories for me and when I was 13 years old and the world was a different place.

    Absolutely luv this song. What great music we had back in the day. Always so nice to hear a familiar song that has that beautiful sound. I have to say, Lenny still has it at 77, so amazing. And decades later he still chopping it up on stage. What a blessing. This is diffidently a favorite that I will be listening to for years to come. So thank You Lenny for sharing your soulful voice, and your God gifted talent.
