    "I went home and watched television until television went off." Gives you an idea of how long ago this was. When I was a kid (70's) TV didn't stay on all night. Stations would actually stop broadcasting until the next morning. Damn, I'm old🤣🤣

    Between 1973-1975 Lenny Williams was the lead singer of my favorite band Tower of Power!! You definetely needs to check them out. Songs like So Very Hard to Go, Soul Vaccination or What is Hip all featuring Lenny on lead vocals at least the original versions.

    If you want to hear a woman plead and be passionate in her music with fantastic vocal, you have to check out Linda Jones for “Your Precious Love.” sadly, she died at age 27 in 1972. I think this is the ultimate answer to Lenny Williams song.

    1. Been Such a Long Time by New Birth
    2. Cause I love you by Lenny Williams
    3. No Ordinary Love by Sade

    The title of this video caught my attention for one specific reason. Thats exactly how I felt. But bruh peep game. And I feel like this speaks for a lot of us.
    Remember Kings of Comedy with Steve, B-Mac, and them? Facts, we all done seen that a million times. It wasn't until last week, damn near twenty years later that I actually thought to look up this song. After hearing Steve Harvey go in about how much this man loved this woman that he wrote the greatest love song ever for her.
    I can't even front. I'm SO embarrassed that I never had the sense to listen to this before. This joint hits you in a way that most of us done forget exists 🙌🏿

    Lenny Williams. He's such an amazing artist. Before you started talking knew you were in for A BIG TREAT! Check out the live video of the song. The video is
    11:43 long. The video will have you listening over and over again! You will love it! Let me know how you like it.
