Lenny Kravitz first attempted to launch his music career in the mid-'80s as "Romeo Blue," a Prince-like performer who wore blue contact lenses.

True or False?

True.

Is that what the "Blue" was all about? I remember his hair was kinda weird; not quite jheri-curlish, but not quite straight either.

Yes, and he also wore his hair like Prince during the Controversy era and had blue contact lenses that hurt like hell. Seen it all...hehe

It's true yeah yet I've never heard any of the tracks. He was advised that a retro rocker image would be more profitable...

yes, this is very true. I have been a fan of Lenny's since his Romeo Blue days. Thank god he dropped the corny name and took his music more seriously. Lenny is a true SMF and a great musician.

The name sure was wack!

Are there any early recordings of Lenny before Let Love Rule?

I have never heard of any releases before Let Love Rule. If you find out about any, please let me know.
