SOTD: "SUPERSOULFIGHTER" by Lenny

Just rediscovered this gem off his album "5" and I must
say, it's a funky track.

I remember back at the time being rather taken with this
track as well as "Black Velveteen", they sounded so much
like Prince

smile

Anywho, great song.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

If You Can't Say No

All my faves.

But, when I want to hear some nice soul guitar from LK, it's SuperSoulFighter.

(Is that Chaka Khan saying, "He's a soooul fighter," at the end of the song?)

Super soul fighter's coming
Oh yeah

Soul brother space man
Flying through the sky
Fighting wars and battles
Defending you and I

He's spreading super love vibrations
For a better day
Electronic super soul vibrations
Coming all the way

Super soul
Super soul
Super soul fighter's coming
Yes he's coming

The lord of the wasteland
He don't want us to be free
But he can't stop our hero, hey
On his supersonic V

He's spreading funk throughout the nations
And for you he will play
Electronic super soul vibrations
Has come to save the day

Super soul
Hey !
Super soul
Super soul fighter's coming
Yes he's coming

Those lyrics sound like a direct rip-off of "Astro Man" by Hendrix.

Looking back, I hate to admit it but Lenny's sound and vibe is nothing but a copy of jimi...

I've never cared for this song, but I dig the rest of the album.
I believe it's Angie Stone, not Chaka.

Angie Stone used to be his back-up singer in the early days (1989-91), she also covered a song also done by Lenny (but not written by him) Heaven Help from his AYGGMW? album. It appeared on her first album Black Diamond. As far as Lenny "copying" people, he has never denied his influences, he more or less wears them like a badge of honor. I've never liked this song, but the rest of this record is great.

Peace, Serveitupfrankie*
