 I dig all three of those, as well as Willing To Learn.
Loves been Gone So Long is tight, Lenny is on point with the scats,vibrato or what ever technical word for it..."the boy can sang" This song is a fav-O-rite of mine, feat. Lenny's vocals.  Loves been gone so lonnnng,
Ohhh when will it come 'round, Ohh, Lord I know it wiiiill, But The waitin' seems so Wronnnng, Op-portuni-ty knn-ocks, Oh' but, Sometimes it comes and I'm afraaaid insi-i-ide, IIIII want a sweet laady, Right when I'm feelin' bluuuuue, And when I'm a-lone....   National Funk League✮✮ | |

Actually, I really dig Larry Braggs! and I like the other vocalists through the years, too--But there's something about the Lenny Williams years, the his voice blended with the horns..... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Lenny is indeed great 
The best TOP albums are the ones that feature his vocals It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
