Lenny Kravitz's Background Singers I was listening to a recent show from Lenny's current tour and when he announced his background singers the 1st one was Tawatha Agee. For those that don't know she was a member of Mtume think Juicy Fruit or You, Me, & He, and you know the voice that I am talking about. Glad to see she's still active! | |

Lenny's a good musician. The guy can play. Agreed. The only gripes that I have with my boy are with his last two albums and that Gap commercial. Other than that, Legs still finds dude to very talented and fuckable. | |

Lenny's a good musician. The guy can play. Man, I've gone to bat for Lenny's ass sooooo many times on here, it's not even funny, ya'll. It's like Hendrix in reverse. A lot of folks over in the fanatic section (Prince Music And More) truly dislike Hendrix, mainly cuz they know that P has built a career biting off of Jimi. So, it's like they resent Hendrix for it. Like it's Jimi's fault. Lenny is on the exact opposite side of that. Obviously, Lenny is a threat to some P fans that has this mind set. They think P owns the keys to not only what Lenny does, but to what Hendrix had done. P doesn't own the keys to shit, except for maybe a grown man wearing high heels.

It's more likely folks are responding to the way you guys phrase things. It's also about people feeling the need to bring up Prince's faults everytime some other artist somebody likes is mentioned. I'm going to clue y'all in: it doesn't help make your point. If all you hear is Jimi when you hear Prince you aren't listening. Besides, everybody has influences. Jimi is indebted to the blues and R&B musicians before him, Prince to Jimi and many others, and Lenny to Prince among others. (Actually I don't hear a lot of Prince in Lenny). Anyway, there's room enough for all of them and Prince would still be Prince without Jimi just with a different twist. And for the record I prefer Jimi as a musician/artist over any other if I had to pick so you're not gonna hear me bash him to make Prince or anybody else look better. | |

Damn..B just got down right there! I agree. Lenny does need to get that funk record out..I'm tired of waitin' on it. Angie Stone sang the shit out of "SuperSoulFighter" on "5" (his last best CD). | |

Ooh, I'm going to see Lenny at Brixton Academy in 3 weeks. I saw him at Wembley before but that was a crap venue for him, though I got some HOT photos *drools* | |

Those SAME exact points have been made by me and several others on here in the past regarding this, so, it ain't nothing for u to clue us in on, player. I never said that when I listened to Prince, all I hear is Jimi. U would never see me print some silly ass shit like that. So, your "school in session" is not needed regarding this.

I can dig it! I can't stand that song. Truth be told, it's quite a few songs by Lenny that I don't like. BUT, being a black musician who happens to play funk/rock, I will support another brother (Lenny) who does the same. There's a grip of songs that I don't like that Prince has done. But, he's still "one of my boys" like Hendrix and Sly are. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Whereas, I actually like that song before the radio started playing the hell out it. A lot of people are just to hard on my boy. | |

Listen, I've been guilty of shiting on Lenny, only cause of the gap commercials and his latest releases, but the man is the real deal. He can rock, be funky and has some good ballads. Lenny is rock star, forreal | |

Lilgish, we're on the same page when it comes to Lenny. As I've said before, I love all his stuff except his last two albums and the shitty Gap commercial . Other than that, Lenny is one of my favorite musicians/guitarist and is definitely on Legs most fuckable list with his sexy ass . | |

Lenny's first 2 records "Let love rule" and "Mama Said" are good. But after that he sucks. I woke up sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert | |

Afterwhile, I do feel Lenny did become too lazy on his last couple albums. In the beginning, he was struggling and less jaded by fame. | |
