LENNY WILLIAMS - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW-THURS, MAR 12, 2015 - 6:00 pm PST

The ultimate soul crooner, Oakland, California native Lenny Williams possesses one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music.  With his rich, passionate vocal style, he is rightfully regarded as one of R & B's most influential soul men.  Williams began his musical career making records that have subsequently become R & B and Pop classics, tunes like the mega-hit "Cause I Love You" (recorded on his solo album) and "So Very Hard To Go," which he recorded as the lead singer for Tower of Power.  Lenny Williams' style has transcended into the new millennium, influencing many of today's newest R & B and Pop vocalists.

Lenny himself sounds better than ever as he continues to keep the focus on love. "Love is what has gotten me through all of these years.  I look for love and I surround myself with it," Lenny says.  When it comes to singing love songs, one must "go there to know there," and Lenny never left.  He is able to take the listener to the heart of love with such soulful aplomb because love will never go out of style and no one does it better. 

Over the past few years, Lenny has continued his solo career, touring the US, Europe and South Africa.  In 2004 and 2005, Lenny and Kanye West were honored recipients of the BMI Songwriter's Award for the song "Over Night Celebrity," recorded by rapper Twista.  He has recently shared stages with Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, K-Jon, Anthony Hamilton, The Whispers, Rick James, Boney James, Bobby Womack, The Ohio Players, Al Green, Usher and Frankie Beverly and Maze.  Lenny has also expanded his multi-dimensional career to include acting, starring in several popular stage plays.
