From the liner notes of The Ultimate Collection:


Curiously, the song that ultimately became Williams' calling card, the melodramatic 'Cause I Love You, was never a single, but an album cut from Spark of Love. Lenny had cut an earlier version on the lone Motown LP. The song's highlight - the love narrative that brought down the house in The Original Kings of Comedy - is not in the original version, but evolved out of Lenny's live performances of the tune.

"I'd been performing it live ever since I recorded it at Motown," said Lenny. "One night, my drummer at the time said, 'Hey, man, you gotta give that song something on stage; you gotta talk to 'em in there somewhere; sell it.' So, we broke it down at some point and I wrote a little story about what a man goes through when he loses his woman. The audiences loved it so much that when I recorded the song again at ABC, I added the talk."

That passion-filled testimony has become a hallmark of of Lenny's career. "When people come to see me, ninety per cent of them are there to hear 'Cause I Love You, Williams said with a certain pride. "They sit there waiting on me to sing it, and they know the rap better than I do. If I make a mistake in reciting it, they'll correct me. Sometimes, I just start it - the audience finishes it, and I just stand there listening to them. That song has been great for me."
