Featured in TIR Episode 210 (Parts 1-2): Celebrated and wonderfully distinctive singer-composer, Lenny Williams. Becoming a star with a string of 1970s hits as Tower of Power’s lead vocalist, he has released new music under his own name in six decades, and continues to record and perform.
Classics featuring his one-of-a-kind voice include “So Very Hard to Go,” “What Is Hip,” “Don’t Change Horses (in the Middle of the Stream),” “Only So Much Oil in the Ground,” “Shoo Doo Fu Fu Ooh!” “Choosing You,” “Midnight Girl,” “Cause I Love You,” “Doing the Loop De Loop” and “Don’t Make Me Wait for Love.” The latter was with Kenny G, and among the others Williams has also worked with are Graham Central Station, Ben E. King and the Crusaders’ Wilton Felder.
In 2020, he released an album titled Fine, and his newest single is called “Tonight.”
