Must Haves. Music Edition. Lenny Kravitz.


BACKGROUND HISTORY


Kravitz was born on May 26, 1964 in New York (his mother is actress Roxie Roker, best known for her role as Helen Willis in the popular television series The Jeffersons. My father was a TV producer), Kravitz grew up in New York in New York. As a child, his parents' friendships with Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Short, Miles Davis and others made him close to countless music giants. I noticed. Krabitz was a member of the California Boys Choir until he was a teenager when he was a high school student and was strongly influenced by the funk rocker Prince and decided to pursue rock and roll. Kravitz's admiration for Purple One came to be known as "Romeo Blue" (complete with blue contact lenses), when he first took his style and approached shortly after Prince, but the record deal. Could not be secured.

CULTURAL IMPACT


Rock music in the 1980s completely lost the dark atmosphere of its predecessor until Lenny Kravitz rediscovered the magical formula. Kravitz's Sonic template was a huge hit with good old rock and roll combined with Gram, Soul and Psychedelia. With his album "Let Love Rule", he quickly created a sensation. Later, he did not emphasize much of the flower power aspect of his music and moved on to a heavier rock sound. With this advance, he produced blockbuster songs such as "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and Guess Who's "American Woman" hard rock cover. In the process, his glamorous image, model-like looks, and frequent acting roles have made him a staple in pop music.
