When this came out all people could talk about was the drummer (Cindy Blackman Santana), even Kurt Cobain was astounded by her. She seemed to come out of nowhere. "Who is that drummer?" She now plays in Santana and married Carlos.
I just learned about all that stuff a few months ago, so cool.
She was awesome
Eh 🤦♂️
Yeah what I remember is that
She sucked and was more a prop for inclusion and diversity, but come on
Karen Carpenter would of drummed circles around this lady. Hundreds and hundreds of highschool drummers easily could play this
As a white guy the main thing I was blown away by was the fact that a black guy was rocking so hard. I thought that was badass.
Fun Facts -
his drummer is married to Carlos Santana
his mom - Roxie Roker, played Helen Willis on The Jeffersons in the 70s
he was one of the first artists in the 90s that sought out the "old school" sound, so he bought a vintage mixing desk from the 70s for his studio
and Al Roker from the Today show is his 1st cousin 1x removed.
Yes, Cindy Blackman is the drummer in this video...and now the wife of Carlos Santana! She definitely deserves her props.
And his ex-wife and mother of his daughter is Lisa Bonet who used be on the Cosby show and she's now married to Jason Momoa. And Lisa's the one who cut off his dreadlocks. she told it was "time to change his energy".
Not just any vintage mixing desk. It is one of the EMI REDD desks used at Abbey Road by The Beatles early in their career.
my uncle and aunt had Carlos and lenny's mom over for dinner once. I'm still pissed I didn't get to join them, rofl.
This song will never stop being fire! If this song doesn't make your body move, you're dead inside.😁
Such a sexy guitar riff
@@AxeCheeksnot to mention Lenny Kravitz!!! 🔥
Lenny was born to late , his music is 70's rock . He is a flash back to old school rock.
RIP to his mother Roxy Roker, Mrs Willis from The Jefferson’s
You know his daughter, but a lot of us know his mother, actress Roxie Roker, who played on the 70's sitcom 'The Jeffersons'
He does an excellent cover of American Woman as well.
She married her Russian Jewish lawyer, and Lenny was the result. Edit: Forgot the parallel- Roxie played the wife in the very first interracial couple on primetime TV.
As a matter of fact, Roxie got the part of Helen when she had auditioned and the casting director had asked her if she'd have an issue with playing the role of a woman who was married to a White man and she'd showed that director a photograph of her with her husband and Lenny and told him "That's my family"
She played Helen Willis.
His ex wife is Lisa Bonet, mother of Zoe, and who starred as Denise Huxtable in "The Cosby Show"
And Al Roker of NBC is his cousin.
Lenny always struck me as a mix between Prince and Hendrix. Let Love Rule is a great early hit.
Finally rock and roll Hall of Fame nomination...total legend..great in concert
Let Love Rule is a young Lenny song that you’d love. You should also check out his cover of American Woman
American woman and I want to fly away we're on the same album weren't they?. It's a little before my time but I like money a lot and I'm thinking they were on the same album but I could be wrong. Do you know who Zoe's mom is? You probably do but if you don't you might be a little surprised but not too much if you were around back in those days too bad it didn't work out but you know who she's married to now? The Hawaiian stud LOL
Rosemary on that album is awesome. He also covered Kiss' 'Deuce' also amazing. (it was on a Kiss tribute album)
I was dancing along and my husband saw me and asked: what song is that? I said: Oh, I'm watching Jay and Amber reacting to this awesome classic by Lenny Kravitz and vibing with them lol. Aight, he said, rewind and lets' vibe together, shall we? And that's what I did. Great reaction. Love you, guys.
Lenny is amazing. I'm not sure if he ever made a bad song. He's his own thing, and sort of a mix of 70's meets the 90's.
This song has that late sixties vibe to it...its awesome!
This song was a huge hit in the UK in the early spring of 1993 but I always thought it sounded straight out of 1973. I absolutely loved rocking out to it and still do. Around that time there was quite a lot of nostalgia for the music and styles of the early 70s taking off,at a time when the economy was in a mess and the government was still being hard-nosed about helping out those who'd taken a hit. I thought Lenny seemed to have a real earlyish 70s retro vibe going,in his soulful and slower numbers as well as his rockers. The critics sneered at the retroness of his style but I didn't care about that.
Cindy Blackman Santana is a phenomenal drummer and when she does a solo during concerts, everyone is on their feet. She puts everything into her music. She also has a very good soul!
She's an absolute badass. I saw Lenny at the Aragon Ballroom. She had some amazing solos.
She's an absolute badass. I saw Lenny at the Aragon Ballroom. She had some amazing solos.
@@dominicpardo4783 @hopemorrison24 Check out her last solo album. When I was 12 back in the late 80s deciding that I actually wanted to go for it I listened to two guitarists a lot. There's a song on her album where she's got both of them.
Except it's Lenny playing drums on this song.
Check out American Woman by Lenny.. if you're a Rocker..
We saw him open up for Aerosmith. We sat in on his sound check also.. He is COOLNESS.. Badass.
Lenny is the epitome of cool. You look up cool and there is a a picture of Lenny. He is just absolutely AMAZING!
Lenny and Slash. Nummy
Coolest ever!!! Saw him 2019..adore this human..he can sing high and low
He was until he used the word assemblage (oss-em-blonge).
Lenny’s music has always had a throwback vibe to it! He got popular in the late 80’s/early 90’s, by sounding like the late 60’s/early 70’s!
Dude I've always thought that!
That’s what makes me love his sound. “ It Ain’t Over Till it Over” is still my all time favorite Lenny songs! Soooo goood!
So it wasn't just me. Lenny has that 60's/70's sound
Perfect description of Lenny’s music!
When he first started he only used vintage recording gear. When most bands where starting to use modern digital recorders. Lenny recorded with old analog tape recorders and mixing boards and effects from the early seventies in order to get that fat rich classic rock sound. Later he started recording digitally and you can definitely hear a big difference between his first four albums and the ones that came later.
The man oozes cool! He was definitely channeling a little Jimi Hendrix with this song, took it in, shook it up & what emerged was 100% Lenny Kravitz effortless coolness!
This song could be released any day in the last 20 years and STILL rip the roof off, from beginning to end this song is so much pure fire, and the video still even looks retro fresh. Can’t hype this track enough.
Cindy Blackman Santana is the drummer. Absolutely amazing! Married to Carlos Santana.
Lenny and Prince have a lot of the same musical heroes, and you're probably recognizing that mutual influence.
Yes she is amazing!!!
I'm a Huge fan of Mr. Kravitz, but I didn't know that. But having a female drummer makes it cooler. Thanks.
Highly recommended: Lenny's song "It Ain't Over Til It's Over". Has a bit of a 70s Motown sound to it.
my fave by him!!!!
Good call
One of his best for sure and yes we would like to see a review of ( It ain't over till it's over) !!!!!
Agreed, my fave by him for sure!
It ain’t over til it’s over was a song where Lenny was trying to rekindle his relationship with his then wife Lisa Bonet. Lisa was a TV Star when she played one of Bill Cosby children in his hit show.
Sadly the song didn’t work on Lisa as Lenny and Lisa divorced. But the Soulfulness of the song showed Lenny’s range as a primarily Rock artist to being able to crossover into R&B, funk and soul music.
It’s one of my favorite Lenny songs.
Nothing better than a face melting guitar solo
Awesome in concert!!! This song is about Jesus!!!
I'll never forget this story. Kirstie Alley was hosting SNL many years ago and Lenny Kravitz was the musical guest. They had to shoot some commercials for the show and Lenny was wearing dark sunglasses while they set-up. When they shot the commercial Lenny pulled off his glasses as soon as Kirstie started talking to the camera. When Kirstie mentioned that Lenny was on the show she turned and looked into his eyes for the first time and she just lost it in his eyes.
🤦♂️
Such a gorgeous man.
That makes a lot of sense. I was probably a little kid when that aired, but I was a huge Kirstie Alley fan throughout my youth and I saw her on VH1's series "The List" where celebrities and musicians would vote on the best songs of a genre. She was on the episode with Meatloaf and Alice Cooper where they ranked rock songs. She was gushing over how much she loved Jimi Hendrix, especially the song "Purple Haze". I can totally envision her reaction to seeing Lenny in person. lol
Shizzzz, if I were him, I would have lost it looking into Kirstie's eyes...they are equally gorgeous. But yeah, Lenny does have that irresistible glare.
I have no idea what this song is about. All I know is, yes, Lenny, I’m goin’ your way!
This song was HUGE when it came out.
Love it.
You're joking when you say you don't know what it's about aren't you? Maybe you're being sarcastic or maybe you're being serious but IDK. This was before my time I think. When I see before my time, I just mean I was young young and really didn't pay attention to rot too much. All I cared about was Sports and video games.
My favorite male artist ALL TIME! He has funk, versatility, vision, range, rasp, soul, and complete groove... You can't lose...
The drumming in this song is just incredible.
One of the best covers ever is Lenny’s version of “American Woman” , just friggin awesome!!😎 You guys should also check out the original by the Guess Who a classic.😸
Seconded! American Woman was a great 60s rock song on its own, then Lenny Kravitz took it and turned it up to 11.
Yeap and the live version with him and Prince is even better
@@susankaman8519,
His version is rockin' and steady, but even though the Guess Who's version starts out slow, it rocks harder.
I didn't like his cover at all; I'll take the original from The Guess Who any day.
American woman ft Prince
Fun Fact for you Jordan and Amber:
If you've ever watched "The Jeffersons", the interracial couple on the show, Tom and Helen, the actress who played Helen was Lenny's mother, Roxie Roker
Lenny's also the first cousin to weatherman Al Roker from the "Today" show on NBC
Lenny and Al Roker are 2nd cousins.
I read or heard an interview with Roxie Roker when she was auditioning for The Jeffersons, and I don't know if it was Norman Lear or a casting agent who told her that she would be playing a woman in an interracial relationship and would she have a problem with that, and she responded by going into her wallet and pulled out a photo of her husband and Lenny 😊
his white Jewish father was an NBC producer whose family immigrated from Ukraine! Lenny was also married to Lisa Bonet from the Cosby Show
@@chriso6719 oh, ok
Well, I had the cousins part right
Can’t Get You Off My Mind is one of my all time favorite Lenny Kravitz songs. Such a nice change of pace from the heavy rockers.
This song is definitely a jam.
Gotta react to Lenny Kravitz - "Again".....❤❤❤🔥
Lenny's "Let Love Rule" is a simple but unforgettably powerful ballad.
His very best song...his other songs are great but the message in this song is direct and universal. We need this message more than ever now✌️❤️
It's a fantastic song! 😁⭐😁⭐😁
Favorite Lenny! How I discovered him- that video on MTV
Saw him in concert....what a show! ❤️🔥 And you got it right! Lenny is love, and he wants everyone together in love. Let's ALL go his way. ❤️
Lenny is one of the best rockers. Love his guitar playing. Love Cindy Blackman playing on the drums.
Gotta do Lenny Kravits "It ain't over till it's over '.
I thought that was Terence Trent D'Arby who played that song
@@karlsmith2570 it's Lenny. A lot of people get them confused.
@@scapito probably because back then, they looked so similar
@@karlsmith2570 it was Lenny. That said, they HAVE to react to TTD’s “Sign Your Name”!
@@ZacCostilla or even "Wishing Well" unless they've already reacted to that one
This song is a straight, TNT music explosion. I could never get it loud enough in my car.
Lenny Kravitz is an absolute music god, no matter what genre he chooses to do. And you two are looking great! Keep up the wonderful work J & Amber.
Lenny Kravitz is a regular on my playlist. I love the 70s glam hippy rock vibe of this song and the positive message he sings, love peace and happiness. He has not aged either! 😮
Except this song doesn't have a positive message 😉
Lenny is a one of a kind performer. Really like him and his daughter too.
How about his mom Roxie Roker who played Helen Willis on The Jeffersons
@@davidkelly2355 Talented family; And the best part is that Lenny got HUGE on his terms, playing HIS style
@@bigmike2464 Wellll, I would have to strongly disagree that his style is "his" style. He'd have none of it without Hendrix. But maybe that's not what you mean..?
@@joshb23 His first album has a John Lennon Plastic Ono Band vibe.
@@joshb23 there's always someone that did it before you or inspired you but that is not saying he copied that exactly from Hendrix, he still has his own style & there was a big gap between him & Hendrix.
Kravitz had the dreads early in his career. Had them for years. Interesting side note, his mother was the neighbor in the Jeffersons whose character was in the interracial relationship. (In real life she was married to a white hollywood music producer.) Kravitz first came out as a throwback to late 60s and early 70s style and music. Other suggested songs:
Let Love Rule
Stand By My Woman
Fly Away
It ain't Over til Its Over
I Belong to You
Heaven Help
Again
Can't Get You Off my Mind.
Alright so you were either around back then or you're just a huge Lenny Kravitz fan or just music fan that gets trivia down. I remember the lady on that show The Jeffersons from reruns and her name on the show was Helen if I'm not mistaken. I've been trying to figure out who do all these people commenting think he sounded like from the 60s and 70s other than Maybe Jimi Hendrix because of the guitar and a little bit of Blues-funk. All the big stars that I think of our big tracks from the 60's and 70's are from fans that do sound anything like this. I'm going to name a few but it doesn't mean I know all the music I'm just saying these are the big bands I know about from the 60's and 70's just to name a few and I'm only tagging you in hopes that you can throw out some names that he is reminiscent of from the sixties-70s. No particular order but I'm going to try to just toss out the bands that stand out to meet as far as knowing their music to an extent and I asked you to help me tell me please and show me please where am I missing the pieces? The bands I know from the 60s and 70s that were pretty hitmaker people are The Beatles, the stones, the Eagles the doors, The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen, CSN, Doobie Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston, and I could name a lot more but they're all basically going to fall under the umbrella I just mentioned and I'm not sure if I mentioned Pink Floyd because I am using speech to text since I'm on a break right now at my job. So I'm not saying these are the biggest bands of the 60s and 70s but to me it seems like they were making hits on a consistent basis. Jimi Hendrix experiment or experience because I can't remember, and the Doobie Brothers where Funk / Rock to me. Possibly Santana? I'm trying to learn and I cannot learn if I don't ask people in real life and people like you who is it that his stone is reminiscing to in the 60s and 70s because I don't know anybody. Keep in mind again I'm only 21 years under my belt so I don't know that much except everything that I'm learning and have learned as I mentioned above. I've heard of earthwindandfire but I don't know if they are rock or Funk or something of a hybrid. So you're going to have to help me out here because honestly all I can think of when I hear him if we're talkin about the 60s has to be Jimi Hendrix and it's not because of the skin is just I know about Jimi Hendrix from reading his story from Young. Lenny most definitely reminds me of Jimi Hendrix. It's not really anything to do with the skin color but it's more so maybe it was somebody that Lenny Kravitz gravitated towards because of the skin color but also because of the rock-funky sound and the guitar. I don't know the history of Prince that will but I do know that purple happens to have been his favorite color. I'm thinking Jimi Hendrix color was also purple but now I'm grasping at strings. You can ignore this long freaking message from some youngster or if you get time maybe you can kick me down some knowledge so I can continue to learn about this rock of different eras period keep in mind that I was pretty much raised a hip hop head, but since the virus hit us and we all seemed to have more time because of the lockdown in the beginning, I feel like I've learned a lot about different types of music but I do officially have a favorite rock band haha. You might love this or you might hate it but so far is guns and roses and I'm talkin anything I've heard from the sixties all the way up to the alternative scene and then
@@choice12ozborne Couple things I can point out: Lenny's vocals, in THIS song at least. He's using a very "Jimi Hendrix"-style delivery. I'm not a huge fan of his, so I don't know all his songs; but he definitely didn't have this same style when he covered "American Woman" or in "Fly Away".
Also...listen to the TONE of the guitar. That kind of distortion...with the "fuzzy" kind of sound...only comes from OLD amps with transistor tubes (or from modern software that can duplicate the sound). Amps made after the 70s largely stopped using the tubes in them, and the sound of the distortion changed.
@@choice12ozborne Frist, if anything. I am simply interested in music, curious enough to pay attention to detail and have been around for a while longer than you. I do not think he sounds like any particular 70s artist. But he uses recording techniques, and equipment designed to capture the overall sound of that period. His guitar tone sounds similar to Jimm Page, Joe Perry and Marc Bolan. His overall image is reflective of the late 60s to 70s. I think his image is what most people are reacting to.
Watching him throughout his career, I always got a heavy Hendrix vibe from him. Yeah, this song was BIG in it's day for sure!
Absolutely love Lenny Kravitz
Everybody rocked out to this one when it came out. Style wise it reminded many of a Hendrix tune. From the same album try "Is there any love in your Heart", and "Sugar".
Lenny said this was about Jesus Christ and man’s choice to follow him or not released in 93
Thank you. You beat me to it. 😆
Extremely spiritual song
I love Lenny.
Hey guys!!! Lenny is one of a kind. In his first studio álbum, he played all the instruments. He had a difficult times when he was a child. His parents where "White and Black" . So he had bad times at schooll. He is a genious. The female drummer is awesome!!! Good reaction!!! Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my english.
@3:30, wearing dreads was Lenny's original look.
By the time this song (from his third album) came out, Lenny was already a highly respected rock musician. Once in the early 1990s he needed a backup guitar for an MTV performance of Are You Gonna Go My Way. Legendary bassist John Paul Johns from Led Zeppelin stepped up to jam with him.
This was his Jimi Hendrix period.. this one has a whole early Hendrix vibe. You guys owe it to yourselves to get the first two Jimi Hendrix Experience albums, put on the headphones and get experienced. Don’t worry about reacting to it, just listen to it and remember how different he was in 1967 and 1968
Good suggestion
Spot on. Was mentioning up top my wife picked that up after about 10 seconds when it came out. Lol
I still cant believe that this isnt a Hendrix cover...it sounds so authentic!
I was watching your intro smiling like y’all have no idea how much you are going to love this song and video!!! One of my all time favorites! It never gets old. Your reaction did not disappoint!😀
Vote for Lenny daily until the end of April!! Nominee this year in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!! Website fan vote!! He is the epitome of Rock!!❤❤🎉
You hear the influences of Lenny per other artists. This one is a tribute to Hendrix. You hear a bit of the Beatles hey Jude in his first hit Let Love Rule. He has influences everywhere from it ain't over til it's over and use of a falsetto and a throw back to 70 s soul and R & B. Lenny has a style that pays homage to musical heroes of his while creating his own musical take on what he does as an artist. His covers if American Woman or Fly like an Eagle show his respect for those he grew up on. By the way his mom was Helen on the television show the Jeffersons.
All true...but furthermore, you hear HIS influence on younger artists... Jack White and the White Stripes in general, The Hives.. and a lot of others...
Lenny and Slash went to Hollywood high school together
Ok guys the female drummer's name is Cindy Blackman and she's married to Carlos Santana but the one you and Amber are going to love is his version of American Woman gonna knock your socks off
Lenny actually plays all of the instruments on his albums. The band learns the parts before they go on tour.
The song is WAY deeper than that...
This song is about Jesus Christ, whom Lenny referred to as "the ultimate rock star." It's about how God gives choice to man about where to turn. The opening lines spell it out:
I was born long ago
I am the chosen I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
I find it amazing that you would say that a devout Jewish kid like Lenny Kravitz would sing about Jesus.
Hint: Its not about Jesus.
@@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames His dad was Jewish but his mom was Christian, and he grew up in-between both. He says in an interview that it is indeed about Jesus Christ's point of view ... I suggest finding the article.
@@JoeMama410 Messianic Judaism
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messianic_Judaism
@@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames Lenny has said on many occasions that it was about Jesus. While his dad is Jewish and he embraces his Jewish heritage, he has called himself a Christian for decades.
@@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames technically Lenny's not Jewish. To be Jewish your mother has to be Jewish and his mother was not.
Oh man... if you guys are digging this, PLEASE check out Gary Clark Jr. This Land is an amazing song, but super heavy thematically. He does a version of When My Train Comes in where he just transcends the 3rd dimension and gets so into the music it's just unreal. This was a joy to see y'all dig! BTW that guitar is a Flying V. I think he played an Epiphone flying V.
Yes, Gary Clark Jr
Gary Clark Jr. is amazing!
He sucks
3rd vote for Clark Jr.
When this song came out people were not only blown away by Cindy Blackman Santana but drawing parallels to The Jimi Hendrix Experience. A visually stunning video that leaves you Experienced ✌️
Lenny is one of the few more recent artists that actually has true talent and heart in his music, much like Bruno Marz. One of my bands covered his version of the Guess Who song "American Woman". Great rendition! His guitar is a Gibson Flying V.
The entire "Mama Said" album is a banger - not a single bad song.
It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over.
Always On The Run.
Fields Of Joy.
Mama Said ... etc .. You pick one
This one has spiritual meanings. Its about JC
He has stayed true to himself all these years!!!!
This was one of my favorite videos and songs back in the day. The talent of Lenny sometimes goes unnoticed. But he is a legend
Yes! 🔥🔥
More Kravitz! “Believe” is a different feel, and I am a sucker for “Lady!”
You guy should also check out his "It Ain't Over ('til it's Over)". Recorded in the 90's, but sounds like it was recorded in the mid-70's. And a good vibe, too!
You are so right!!!! I forgot about that song! Thanks!
I was absolutely blessed to see Blues Travler, Dave Matthew's Band, Rusted Root and Lenny Kravitz LIVE at The Horde Festival in Memphis, TN, 1994😊
Lenny is the best! Love his song Again.
Lenny spent a lot of time in high school with Slash (Guns n Roses), and Prince was at the same school, a few years ahead of him. In Kravitz's 2020 book "Let Love Rule" (book takes you thru the first 25 years of his life), a VERY well written book and incredibly interesting, he explains these relationships.
I have always been a huge fan of Lenny. I so enjoyed his character in The Hunger Games movies also.
Oh and he's also very sexy...couldn't leave that out lol
Agreed Wendy! On both points!
@@wendyhodges7172 Cinna! I just adore everything about him.
@@adamsgrad93 me too. His character was so underrated. I would have loved to have seen him more throughout the series.
OK, literally, he was the ONLY reason I was conned into watching Hunger Games.
I love this song! it's been in my mix for 30 years, I think it's his best song, and I also love American Woman
One of my favorites. Yes. Young Lenny.
When Lenny says “what I really want to know is” is a homage to Jimmy Hendrix “what I really want to know is, are you experienced” off the album of the same name. ( this is not true. I have been corrected, sorry)
Oh yeah....Hendrix definitely flows through his bloodstream. Great song. 🎵 Old school 60's, 70's heavy guitar rock sound. Those were the days‼️
Actually dude you're wrong if you look up information on what Lenny said the song is about he will tell you that the song is about Jesus and his sacrifice
@@sushig174, apparently you are correct and I am wrong. Thanks for the correction.
@@ajaxfernsby4078 no worries I have been listening to him since I was 12 I am now 42 a lot of his songs are faith-based because he is Christian was raised as a Christian by his parents and it does not shy away from speaking about it in his music as far as Hendrix goes it is a definite influence to his sound he loves all the greats like the Beatles and led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and music like that but he is not afraid or ashamed to write songs that proclaim his faith and exactly what and how he feels about it and that is one of the things that I admire most about him and part of the reason why I have loved his music for so long I've never heard a song from him that I didn't like there are some that I like more than others yes but very few artists ever come out musically where every single song I fall in love with or can identify with he's definitely one of the few and he is in a league of his own and he is so so handsome ❤️
@@sushig174, well, thanks for all that. I should have known better than to pass off things that I heard, as fact without checking myself, especially about Lenny Kravits since I’ve heard numerous erroneous rumors about who his mother was, most of them wrong. Thanks again.
Definitely a banger. He’s got a lot of great tunes.
Huge Lenny fan here!!
Vote for this beautiful human!! He is a nominee this year in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!! On their website- fan vote .. everyday until April 26th!!!!!!
So glad you’re getting back to Lenny!! Hope you’re doing well.
Lenny Kravitz drummer is/was Cindy Blackman, an amazing jazz drummer as well. And lets not forget his role of Cinna in Hunger Games. Too talented !
His acting in the hunger games in my opinion is flat and one dimensional
@@tjhunger8644 thank goodness he had music as his music as his backup ! Thanks TJ.
Absolutely amazing musician
@@tjhunger8644 Absolutely TJ. and Hi from New Zealand ! We are in the midst of a covid meltdown after being virtually covid free for so long, we're up to nearly 200 cases a day and there were 2 more deaths overnight. Nothing by comparison as to what you've been going through in the USA, but I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well.
Godspeed my kiwi friend hopefully your upcoming summer months will give you and your fellow countrymen some well deserved relief
You guys have to check out "Rock and Roll is dead", probably his most underated single. The riff is amazing and the solo blows the roof off.
“Thinking of you”…enough said!
Lenny plays all his own instruments on the albums. His album 'Let Love Rule' is amazing!
Kravitz is the REAL Deal
Absolutely adore Lenny Kravitz
Lenny is so much more than rock. He’s jazz, r&b, blues, funk, soul, reggae & so much more he mixes it all in. Listen to “It Ain’t Over til It’s Over”, “Heaven Help”, “Stand By Woman”
Craig Ross is a fantastic guitarist. Love that Tele Deluxe he’s rocking here.
"Heaven Help" or It Ain't Over Till It's Over" are a couple songs that showcase his softer side.
Heaven Help is my fav!
CLASSIC BANGER!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenny is my husband. I'm obsessed with him! 😂😂 He and Prince are tied for the sexiest people to ever exist. ❤❤🔥🔥 Lenny's book is really good, highly recommend!
Absolutely
Beautiful human and beautiful man
Y’all are so cute, just look at the smile’s on your faces 😀 priceless
The guitar he's playing is a Gibson Flying V. Not only does it look cool, but there's a technical advantage to the design as well. It gives easier access to the highest pitch frets. A favorite among lead guitarists.

This single shook EVERYTHING. I just want it to go on forever
Such a fantastic tune!
Lenny is the man!!!!! His "Mama Said" album is a classic IMO.....
He had an older career under another name. I believe it was Romeo Blue, but didn't go so well.
When he reemerged as himself, this was the punch in the gut 70's influenced 90's song. I love this song.
I would describe Lenny's sound as heavy 70's funk rock influenced.
Did you know that he is a legacy?
His mother was a famous tv star.
He does music and movies. And now Zoe is into it.
Lenny has said that Prince was a big inspiration to him. He told a story about getting to have an all night jam session with him, and that the man had energy for days. Lenny said he couldn't keep up. When Prince was in the zone, he was a beast.
Lenny has one of the most talented musicians with him. The drummer was in the Fly Away video as well, which I believe you reacted to already...I think.
I believe the video was symbolic of him singing from a pov of Jesus talking to the people.
At the beginning of the video, the light fixture comes down light a crown of thorns descending upon him in a jesus on the cross like pose and hair that makes him look like a black jesus. I know he is half jewish, but I think he associates with being more of a spiritual person than religious.
Back in the 90's, there was a huge wave of 70's retro going on. If you notice how everybody is dressed, and their hair styles, everybody is dressed in an updated retro 70's fashion.
Adore Lenny Kravitz
Absolute legend ❤
Lenny Kravitz is a ROCK GOD! ♥️
Y’all, Lenny is everything. Saw him live twice. Amazing. And he’s beautiful 💪❤️
I’d love to see him live!
Three times here!
Definitely an absolute banger. I will never stop loving this song or Lenny!
Earrrrrrrrrly 90's!! Never stopped enjoying this song. ~Jenn-X
OMG my favorite Lenny Kravitz
The other song you reacted to was Fly Away, and there is a 5 year difference between the songs. Listen to Mr. Cab Driver, American Woman (a Guess Who cover), Again, It Ain't Over til it's Over ... He's fantastic.
Oh yeah.. Mr Cab Driver!! Cool one
Lenny Kravitz- Hottest Man on the planet!
Metal , Blues , R&B , Pop , Motown , Punk Rock ? All genres ? Lenny gobbles’em up and spits them out into some of the best music ever done .
