Lenny Williams is 79 yrs old. I saw him in Charlotte NC on March 2nd. He still sounds like he did in the mid 70's. BTW ask your parents. TV did sign off before cable was in every home. After he left the Tower of Power, this was when we heard his true vocal range.

One of my all-time favorite songs. You don't just hear this song, Lenny's voice and the lyrics make you feel it. I saw Lenny a few years ago in El Paso, TX, and he can still put you in a trance and sing like this. Another one of his "newer" songs is "Sorry, I didn't know it was yo mamma". The song has some funk to it. Give it a listen if you want to hear some more Lenny.

No, you didn't!😮 You FINALLY got to Lenny?! Oh,my goodness! This is what I've been telling you about...the man puts his entire soul into this song, and I knew that at age seven, when it was released. This one would shut everyone up in the house and we'd all just listen, even the kids. The elders would just shake their heads and get deep into it. I'll also continue to suggest these for some more deep, meaningful soul - "No Rhyme, No Reason" by George Duke "Can I?" by David Peaston "God Bless the Child" by David Peaston (he's one of many who've made their own version of it) Jordan I wondered if you would catch that Twista sampled this his rap song, "Overnight Celebrity". You said you no longer listen to rap, but you might remember it.
