Lenny is dropping his new album “Strut” on September 23rd! Rockin’ since 1989, his debut album, was “Let Love Rule.” I remember his then wife, Lisa Bonet, coming to visit us at WBLS to promote her man’s new music. We played it while she sat with us in the studio, and chatted about his musical vision, when NOBODY else did. Although his sound wasn’t traditionally that, of what one would hear on an R&B station, we supported him. We were ‘BLS, we played Queen and INXS – why? Because it was Dope!
In a few years he had a major presence in music. If you don’t know his whole story by now, look it up, in short he’s still rocking’; is now acting (“The Butler” & “Precious”) and his daughter Zoe, that he had with Bonet, is a rising star. This is simply a retrospective of his FUNKY MUSIC, as I’m looking forward to the new ish. 25 years later, I’m still showing him love, because in my book love is eternal – “Let Love Rule.”
