Lenny Kravitz shares his memories with Prince | 95.5 KLOS

[@Georgian1717]

Lenny was very chill and shares Prince on a personal level that is heart warming.

[@joeykira1620]

Lenny Kravitz is a good man.

[@danishortcake4508]

I just saw Lenny live 2 nights ago. He was fantastic. Prince was my 1st love in 1981 i cried for days when he passed. I dont think im over it still. Lennys always been my favortie as well. If you ever get a chance to see him. Jump on that!!.

[@jazzydj6051]

PRINCE was a spiritual person... when you walk in faith, you know that you're not here to stay, you're just passing through. when you're in the spotlight like that, people tend to forget you're just flesh and blood. PRINCE didn't forget that. everyone days are numbered. journey well PRINCE! him with his creative genius made this world a better place, and he left a lasting legacy that will live on until the end of time. JOB WELL DONE 👏 RIP

[@BananaCologne]

"DID U TAKE, OR DID U GIVE?" A wise man beyond his years in so many ways. He blessed us with such gifts it kinda blows my mind. I'm sad he's passed on, but that's all on me to work through - because deep down I know he's happy to have finally entered The Garden, and we should take comfort in that, his artistic integrity that will influence generations of musicians and the legacy he has left behind. What a wonderful life.

[@AmazingJayB51]

Prince was great and Lenny is underrated!

[@findingmyx]

Agreed

[@jazzydj6051]

yes, that is so true.

[@Lemondoor]

+Jay Brown It's funny you mentioned that because when Lenny came out and when he was at his "height", everybody pretty much compared Lenny to Jimi Hendrix and Prince.

[@jkj10]

funny, I always considered Lenny as overrated, to be honest.

Kind of surprised that Lenny is so together if this is the actual day Prince passed. I thought they were pretty close friends. I would think he’d be too upset to talk about his buddy. He’d still be in shock.

I love Lenny...I love Prince....Life goes on, yes...but some people leave some undeniable prints in your heart and life when they transform and move to the another world...... Just like Lenny says...you never think they gonna go. Prince was ageless indeed....and when they do.......it's hard to believe. I hope Lenny stay still for a long tome with us...

[@starrcompany3275]

I like how the interviewer got right into the questions👍

[@MarcVbytheSea]

Bowie and Prince - the influences are so clear once he owns them - like all greats they all stole and gave and 'got' from other greats - the genius aspects that blow us all away - especially those truly 'complete musicians' who not only played everything but literally excelled at every aspect of their performance art. Modern music certainly today a multi sensory experience - with sound firmly at the center but, as especially Pink Floyd first proved beyond any doubt, all the senses matter! These guys knew it and took it upon themselves to write, stage and produce - then put together and lead a live performance band they made sure 'got it and could get it on' like they did who they sang, danced and played with in an often perfect 'lost in the moment originality' that could get lost in the spirit but never lost the essence of the song or why that crowd was there and was theirs - they reliably played music so good, so seriously hot - and when they were really on, look out. Whew. Right up there with the best things in life! So thankful for that kind of pure genius showmanship - from Prince, Lenny, David Gilmour, McCartney, Stevie Wonder - so so so many others. Thanks to video my appreciation of Prince has increased infinitely just in the past week. Truly one of the most interesting men in the world - always.

[@LWall-fv5ep]

Noora Youssef Khalil 💜 YOU Noora, Sure said that correctly, with out a doubt. As they already are all making money from his death, how shameful... The way they have been exsploylting him. I think some of the world has gone crazy, nuts with everything that has been said & going on. I cannot believe it... How can people go to sleep at night with all the lies they tell.... 💜 BLESSINGS 💜

Marty Martin go fuck yourself! You dont know what you are talking about😡

[@alfreddreamer9097]

I agree. I just kind of wished he wouldn't have done so much damage to his body doing it. He pushed himself and gave it his all. Which is great, but can sometimes be a bad thing too. He and Michael pushed themselves too far. Having said that, I'm still glad they were able to accomplish all they accomplished.

[@candelise]

Had he lived on I believe that Prince would have become the Duke Ellington of the 21st century. Always dressed to to the hilt and still making music. 5

[@learninghax6550]

Prince is by far one of my biggest influences in music right now. Growing up, I just saw him as this sort of..."goofy" guy with a very apparent feminine touch yet, he was indeed a Lady's man. The man wearing "Stelleto's" okay...nah, but for whatever reason, the guy was straight-edge and really down-to-earth. I guess you can say it was his faith that toned down the "risque" behavior and image. Even so, that's what made me sort of do a double-take on him as a musician and really study his persona as a musician and individual and he's helped me to write better songs and be the artist I am today as well. I'm not famous, probably never will be, but he started a fire in me and helped me realize that you can be dedicated to your faith and still get up there on that stage and really give it everything you got just as he always has but do so on a much more clean slate. He's definitely my number 1 influence.

[@natedogg265]

For You was the first album.

Prince didn't actually say it made everyone mad, but he alluded to it. He was suggestive in his wording and he paired the topic with paying attention and being suspicious of the things going on around you. But he never said it was certainly the reason.

[@AndreaElizabeth100]

For You is the debut studio album by Prince. It was released on April 7th, 1978 by Warner Bros. It was recorded two months shy of Prince's twentieth birthday. The album "Prince" was his second album in 1979! "Controversy" is the fourth studio album by Prince- it was released on October 14th, 1981.
