    “Prince meets John Lennon” is a pretty apt description of Lenny’s style. I love all three.

    I favorite Lenny Kravitz story is when his mother was dying.....He was staying at producer Rick Rubins house and he had gone there to grab a shower before returning to the hospital...He gets cleaned up and is about to return to the hospital when he gets the call his mother has passed....When who should walk in the room but Johnny and June Carter Cash....He tells them the news hardly knowing them and they come over and gave him a big hug and prayed with him

    He has inspired so many people. He has touched my life through some of the worst times, the hungry searching times, and the best times. All with the same music all written over the same amount of years. I love this young man I am about to turn 60 in January, without his music, I can honesty say, I would not be here if not for the love and spirit I feel from it.

    I know the obvious comparison is Price, but he literally has said it before. It was Michael Jackson. For me as a fan of Lenny, I can clearly see his big influence of Michael jackson, and Led Zeppelin. I mean he even performed for LZ as an honor. So just listen to Lenny music, and you can see the mixture of those MJ and LZ. It ain't over till it's over.... is like never can say goodbye from J5, and always on the run...is like LZ The girl i love she got long black wavy hair. Even in his dress style is a combination of 80s mj and 70s plant. I always love their music, so the first time i heard Lenny, I was blown away.
