This song was about Lenny’s and Lisa Bonet’s break-up. Lisa played Denise Huxtable on the Cosby Show and the 1st season of A Different World.

Fun fact: Lenny's mother played Helen Willis on The Jeffersons. You heard Robert Downey Jr. recite a portion of The Jeffersons' theme song tonight in your Tropic Thunder reaction.

Lenny Kravitz - let love rule

What I loved about this song is that sounded like it could have been recorded in 1975.

this is one of my ABSOLUTE favorites of Lenny. The instrumentation on this song is complete 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Everyone killed their part and Lenny slayed the lyrics. One of his best songs ever!!!!

Crazy when you think about the fact that this family has been entertaining us for three generations now! ❤Roxie, Lenny, Zoe❤

I fel in love with him here… and he never fails to deliver a great song… the voice, the great tracks BUT also the sexiness. He is just fire 🔥

LENNY KRAVITZ - " American Woman " is Another Awesome song with a Badass Sound.Originally by The Guess Who. And Lenny added some Funk & Groove 🎸 the Bass Drum Kick is Insanely Cool

Amber has discovered the undeniable sex appeal of Lenny Kravitz. Love this song.

This was in 1991 from album MAMA SAID. This song broke Lenny into the mainstream. ALWAYS ON THE RUN Is brilliant too. Needs listening to all of the album.

Saw Lenny in the 90’s he opened up for The Cult… he’s a fantastic musician and has got to be the sexiest man ever!!!

Only Lenny can pull off the perfect 70's look.

Lenny does Smokey Robinson proud!

His mother was on the show, The Jeffersons; she was actress Roxie Roker.

You guys got it right! Lisa Bonet is an actress and a musician herself who starred on The Cosby Show and then the spinoff A Different World, where she went to college. You can hear her sing in the movie High Fidelity where she plays a music artist. Yes, she was married to Jason Mamoa, and from my understanding Lenny and Jason were very good friends and co-dadded Zoe Kravitz, who is also an actress. ❤❤❤❤

Amber , funny you should mention, other than his famous actress mother , Roxie Roker , one of the biggest influences in Lenny’s career aspirations was Prince . And he and Prince were friends, tho they never wrote a song together, they did perform together from time to time… 🎤🎸

A true classic! The song that catapulted his career! The song that solidified Lenny Kravitz as an artist,vocalist, and songwriter.

A true Classic! As is LET LOVE RULE, a Lenny Kravitz Must Hear!

Lenny is an underrated guitarist. He can shred on that thing.

I love Lenny Kravitz. He has good music and a good actor

Written,produced and performed by Lenny Kravitz. Lenny plays all the instruments on most of his albums,including this one.

Lenny Kravitz is a great artist and he emerged just as I had given up on modern music. He had a throwback sound that reminds me of the 70's giant Earth Wind and Fire's "That's The Way of the World". His music is golden.

Funny that you mentioned Prince Amber. Prince and Lenny were good friends 😊

He's definitely summoning a Prince vibe in this tune. Great song. Lenny is versatile, he can rock out and bring this style, easily.

LET LOVE RULE and MAMA SAID era Lenny was my favorite, love ❤️ those albums! More songs from them would be great.

Apparently our votes for Lenny didn't count for the R&R Hall of Fame. He should be in there.

Lenny never ages. Great song 🎵

Written for Lisa Bonet

Lenny!! " Can't get you off my mind" , " You belong to me"

Lenny Kravitz - Flowers for Zoë

This song always makes me think of the summer of 1991, when I fell back in love with music

the very first song I ever heard from him back then that was so cool, old-school funk at its finest organic and handmade.... I was blown away

Another act from around the same time period as Lenny Kravitz is the R&B group Tony! Toni! Tone! You should check out some of their songs like The Blues, Feels Good, It Never Rains in Southern California, If I Had No Loot, Anniversary.

Fun fact: Lenny Kravitz is my cousin.

Rob/Amber - The next Lenny Kravitz song should be "Believe." It has a spiritual, positive message. Amber - its right up your alley, girl.

Always on the Run with Slash on guitar ✌️ gotta be next Lenny tune

Lisa Bonet was an actress on The Cosby Show. In the '80's. ......Lenny's Mom played on the TV show The Jeffersons....she was in an on screen interaccional marriage...on the show....way before its time. He is an awesome artist. Thank you both for this channel. I find it so entertaining. I'm a big fan.

His first two albums were more 70s album rock with a groove than his later more rocking stuff.

Lenny Kravitz and Slash went to high school together. Slash plays in the Lenny Kravitz video for the song mama said

Jordan hit it right on point: Kravitz was totally into seventies revival back in the nineties - well, late sixties through seventies; that sitar sound is straight-up late sixties. You can hear his focus on that period and see it in whatever he did back then. That was kind of a trend at the time, though.

Sorry to be late, @Jay and Amber... but fun fact: Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet were once aka Romeo Blue and Lilakoi Moon. Beautiful young flower children. 🌼 😊❤ ✌️

This was my first introduction to LK. When I hear his name, this song is where my mind goes. It is such a masterpiece both istrumentally and vocally. Lisa Bonet also played Denise on The Cosby Show and its Spinoff A Different World. When they married, she was the bigger name.

Lenny Kravitz is such a cool human. If I were to give him one piece of advice it would be to never change anything... ever. 🥰

This is my favorite Lenny Kravitz song. Everything about it is just about perfect, from his amazing vocals to the instruments.

Lisa Bonet used to be married to Jason. She also played Bill Cosby's daughter on The Bill Cosby Show.

Lenny's first big hit .You should hear his new music.

Lenny is such a brilliant musician. Great choice.

Lisa Bonet is from ( The Cosby Show) Her character was the second oldest daughter. 1. SONYA 2. Denise. 3. VANESSA 4. RUDY.

I used to have the biggest crush on Lenny! 🥰 His wife Lisa Bonet, played on the Cosby show, back in the day.

Lenny is the coolest cat in RnR, besides Steven Tyler. But this dude is as talented as they come. Lenny can rock and then will hit you with something like this. No pigeon holding this dude. You cannot put him in a box. Yea, this is a 70's vibe, which is so cool. Keep checking out more Lenny - "American Woman (remake)", "Lady (amber will love this song)", "Again", "I belong to you" and his newest release is absolutely awesome "Human"

Jay & Amber its no secret Lenny is a fan of everything 70's. He went out and tracked down some old analog mixing boards cause he wanted that authentic 70's sound. For yet another side of Lenny go all the way back to the title track of his first album , Let Love Rule. He started off more acoustic based and with each album after got more electric and a little heavier.

I love this song, is beatiful, so much feelings in the notes.❤❤✌

“Believe” has to be your next Lenny Kravitz song. Guitarist Craig Ross has one of the most iconic guitar solos in that song. A personal favourite for me.

70's vibes in 90's! I LOVE IT!

Lenny's collab with Slash is 🔥🔥🔥! "Always on the Run"

"BUDDY X" song by neneh cherry was about Lenny Kravitz❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fun fact: Lenny was once briefly engaged to Nicole Kidman.

Love this song!

Next Lenny Kravitz suggestion is "Believe" where he goes all "John Lennon" on us

Love love love Lenny 🎶❤️

Lenny is too cool for his own good, I love the man and this was my introduction to him in 1991. 'Let Love Rule' another great track.

Leonard "Lenny" Albert Kravitz (born May 26, 1964) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor. Born in New York to TV news producer Sy Kravitz and actress Roxie Roker, Lenny was exposed to the entertainment industry at a young age. Lenny grew up in a musically diverse environment. His childhood was split between Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles, leading to his early passion for music, inspired by several genres and seeing The Jackson 5 live. Lenny released his debut album "Let Love Rule" in 1989. This marked the beginning of a career characterized by a blend of rock, funk, reggae, hard rock, soul, and R&B. In 1974, at the age of 10, Lenny relocated to Los Angeles with his parents when his mother landed her role on 'The Jeffersons.' At his mother's urging, he joined the California Boys Choir for three years, where he performed a classical repertoire, and sang with the Metropolitan Opera. It was in Los Angeles that Lenny was introduced to rock music and he taught himself how to play piano and bass. Lenny attended Beverly Hills High School, where his classmates were (future singer/songwriter) Maria McKee, (future actor) Nicolas Cage, and "Slash" (future Guns & Roses guitarist). Through his mother, Lenny is a second cousin of NBC TV weatherman presenter Al Roker. Playing solo and in various bands, he made several attempts to get record deals. However, with record labels still telling him his music was not "black enough" or "white enough", Lenny decided to record an album on his own under the name "Romeo Blue" -- he had met the recording engineer, keyboardist, and bassist Henry Hirsch in 1985 when recording a demo at his Hoboken, New Jersey, recording studio. The two shared an interest in using real instruments and vintage recording equipment, as well as a love of R&B, jazz, and rock. Lenny would go on to collaborate with Hirsch on most of his albums. Lenny began working on his debut album with Hirsch over the next year and a half, with Lenny's father paying for the studio time. Lenny met saxophonist Karl Denson and invited him to play on the song "Let Love Rule". Lenny was so impressed with his playing that Denson played on much of the album. Beginning in the late 1980s, Denson toured with Lenny for five years. In October 1988, after completing most of the recording, Lenny approached friend Stephen Elvis Smith, who had served as the music supervisor on Lisa Bonet's The Cosby Show spin-off 'A Different World.' Smith had also worked with Lenny's mother on the hit sitcom 'The Jeffersons.' Lenny urged Smith to manage his career and assist him in finding a record deal. In less than a month of shopping the recordings, five labels (Warner Bros, Elektra, Geffen, Capitol, and Virgin) were in a bidding war for Lenny. Eventually, a deal was made with Virgin Records in January 1989, and signed by Virgin A&R executive Nancy Jeffries. The label was "excited" about the music he was making, music inspired by his relationship with wife Bonet and their new daughter, Zoe. On Smith's urging, Lenny dropped the name "Romeo Blu"e and reclaimed the "Lenny Kravitz" moniker. About his time as "Romeo Blue", Kravitz said, "Ultimately, it got me back to myself. And when I finally did accept myself for myself, music started flowing out of me."

I remember when this song came out he was trying to save his marriage to Lisa Bonet and He wrote this song but unfortunately it didn't save his marriage. Rumor has it that he had an affair with Madonna. I don't know how true that is but I do know he said that this is what the song was about trying to save his marriage.

Lisa Bonet from The Cosby Show

Love this Lenny song👍👍👍

This right here is my most favorite of all his songs…love love love Lenny K!

Great so glad to see it here..

One of my favorite songs of all time! Just perfect!

Yes, when this came out, it was like a blast from the past, sounds like those classic 70s Soul songs. Lenny, in his youth, was a big Kiss fan and participated in the 1994 KISS tribute album.

He did another video for this song too. You two should watch it. Fits perfectly with the song and it's always great to see him 😊😊🎵 🎶 🎵

This my favorite Lenny Kravitz song to play. I can lay back and let my bass just groove.

Lenny is amazing. Love his voice and music. So unique.

His daughter is Zoey Kravitz.

Whos the coolest person on the planet?Lenny kravitz,prove me wrong

Lisa Bonet was the oldest daughter in the Cosby show

Lisa Bonet, was the middle child named Denise on The Huxtable on The Bill Cosby Show. Lennie is so dang good looking and mysteriously intriguing!

Even though this sounds 1975, it came out in 1991, and it stood out like a sore thumb lol

Lenny is a very talented musician and this is my favorite tune by him!

Lenny Kravitz is a legend! Glad you played this one. Love him!

Such a talented man...singer, musician, actor...I'd love to see him in more movies though. As far as I know " The Hunger Games" is all I've seen him in...such a shame!!

And don’t forget, Zoe is a great actress, but also a singer like her father….

I like this song a lot. It is an R&B song to me.

UK the sun is out and Lenny jamming in the background. Give the one you ❤ a hug!!

I'M SITTING HERE IN SHOCK....I'VE HEARD THIS SONG A MILLION TIMES AND NEVER KNEW IT WAS MR KRAVITZ!!!!!!

Lenny's ex-wife Lisa Bonet was Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show

My fav Lenny Kravitz song-such a throwback to the 70’s!

Lenny is gorgeous.

Lisa Bonet was on the Cosby Show, and had a part in the movie adaptation of High Fidelity. Years later, there would be a tv adaptation of High Fidelity on Hulu, which starred her and Lenny Kravitz daughter, Zoe.

90s 79s retro. Lenny Kravitz is just one talented songwriter. Very diverse and well-written songs.

I absolutely adore Lenny Kravitz. I think this is one of my favorite songs ❤

Lenny, Lisa, and Zoey are all of mixed race ancestry. Black, Jewish, white, Very good looking people. And Lenny has a lot of swag as well. Ladies love him. He does all kinds of music, rock, funk, Motown/funk, Neo-soul, etc. Lisa married the Aquaman guy (mixed white and Pacific Islander, Jason), has kids with him, later on after divorce. Lisa was an actress like her daughter Zoey. Cosby Show, A Different World, and other shows and movies. Zoey was married to actor/director Channing Tatum, has a daughter with him, too. Zoey was also a singer in a punk/indie rock band years ago. Elevator Fight. Check them out!

Yaaassss! I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for this reaction. FINALLY!!!!

Wow this takes me back to 1990 amazing song! Still sing this everytime I hear him. The 70s were reintroduced in the 90s clothing and music. My mother loved this song because it reminded her when she was a young woman.

I Wonder If I’ll Ever See You Again, his cover of American Woman

Definitely one of Lenny’s sweetest, soulful & heartfelt ballads….this one & “Again” are some of the best power ballads of all time 🤘🏽❤️‍🔥🤘🏽❤️‍🔥

I first remember hearing this on British radio back in 1991. It blew me away and it remains my favourite Lenny Kravitz song....and it still sounds so cool even now in 2024.

This was the song that made me go DAMN.....Lenny really CAN sing!! Such a cool groove!!

This song was such a 70s throwback at the time it came out, I really loved this one

Far and away my fav Lenny song...

What a great song. One of my all time faves.
