Lenny Williams - Cause I Love You| REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

Ashley, this is from 1975. If you've never heard this before, your parents are hereby charged with the crime of cultural neglect. It also means you never watched the film, "The Kings of Comedy". Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, (GOT viewers will get this)

[@jiujitsujackson9831]

Well said!

[@PhunnyPhotos]

It was released in 1978

[@princedejour2686]

It is an all-time classic R&B love song🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@calmnrelaxed]

I think she said she heard it

[@Enemyspresents]

1978 from The Spark Of Love album. My father used to kill that album. It had banger dance songs on it.

[@R-L-I]

Lenny sang this like this was his last chance to get into heaven, left nothing on the table, that’s why this song has endured all these decades!

Lenny was the best frontman TOP had.

[@dabrat7306]

You should've seen your face when the song first came on. I've had the chance to see him in concert at a club in my hometown. He just went solo, he came down the aisle singing this song. I used to be a concert junkie. Lenny used to be in a group. He's 79 now and still touring I loved your reaction. Enjoy.

[@mrblackhawk56]

I've got this one in my collection from way back when! Thank you for playing the GREAT ones!!!

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

Lenny is the king. There is no other song better then this one. Prince Adore is behind this one, but Lenny help me through heart ache again and again and again. So this will always be my favorite song of all time.

[@jessearmstead2237]

Your reaction is dead on, especially your definition of a “simp “ if you don’t feel anything for that significant other, when they are not at your side, then you truly are not ready to tell anyone you love them. Say it cuz you feel and mean it , trust you will get it returned to you two-fold❤

Not trying to put my legal affairs out there but many years ago I did try to get money from Lenny. Played this LP as a college student in the late 70’s. It was 2 in the morning. I ain’t drawing no picture-LOL. But 9 months later… I blames Lenny, smile. And also, Marvin, and Frankie, Enchantment, Dramatics and of course, one Teddy Pendergrass who said, “go ahead, Turn off the lights, it’ll be okay.” 😉

Ashley...Ashley...Ashley. it is about time you got to mr Lenny Williams...those of my vintage were blessed to grow up on the musical magic of the 70's like Lenny Williams...I believe some 8-9 months ago I recommended that you check out Lenny Williams so I'm pleased he swept you off your feet. I also recommended a group from the early 90s called "Yours Truly"... they only had one album but they sang some serious love ballads on the album particularly "Ill give you everything" and "I dont wanna lose your love" If you love Lenny then you should love these brothers as well. If youve already familiar with them then just disregard me.
