Rock music in the 1980s had completely lost the gritty feel of earlier eras, until Lenny Kravitz rediscovered the magic formula. Kravitz's sonic template combined good old-fashioned rock & roll with glam, soul, and psychedelia, making him a massive success. He made a splash straight out of the gate with his album Let Love Rule. After that, he de-emphasized the flower-power aspects of his music and began moving toward a heavier rock sound. This progression brought him such huge hits as "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and a hard-rocking cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman." Along the way, his flamboyant image, model-like looks, and frequent acting roles made him a fixture in pop-music circles. Born in New York on May 26, 1964 (his mother was actress Roxie Roker, best known for her role as Helen Willis on the popular TV series The Jeffersons, and his father was a TV producer), Kravitz was raised in Los Angeles, where he found himself around countless musical giants as a youngster due to his parents' friendships with the likes of Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Short, and Miles Davis. Kravitz was a member of the California Boys Choir until his teenage years, when he decided to pursue rock & roll while in high school and under the heavily influence of funk-rocker Prince. Kravitz's admiration of the Purple One was so great that he at first patterned his style and approach directly after Prince and became known as "Romeo Blue" (complete with blue contact lenses), but failed to land a recording contract. In the late '80s, Kravitz relocated back to New York City, where one of his roommates turned out to be actress Lisa Bonet (who played the part of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show); they eventually got married. During this time, Kravitz wisely discarded his Prince-like approach and looked back to such '60s/'70s classic rockers as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, and the Beatles for inspiration. Kravitz found a kindred spirit in engineer Henry Hirsch (who would stick by Kravitz throughout his career). With a back-to-basics approach, his style was quite refreshing in the humorously gaudy late '80s. He inked a recording contract with Virgin Records and issued his debut release, Let Love Rule, in 1989. Kravitz's debut proved to be a surprise hit due to the success of the title track, which became a hit single and oft-aired video. A few critics were quick to assume that Kravitz's retro look and sound were simply a schtick to get the public's attention, but come the '90s, it had become integrated into the mainstream (both musically and fashion-wise), proving that Kravitz was a bit of a trendsetter. It was around this time that Kravitz penned a major hit single, not for himself but for Madonna, who went to number one with the sultry track "Justify My Love." What should have been a time of happiness for Kravitz quickly turned sour as he and Bonet divorced in the early '90s. Kravitz's heartbreak was very evident in his sophomore effort, Mama Said, which was even stronger than its predecessor, highlighted by the Led Zep-like funk-rocker "Always on the Run" (a collaboration with Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash), as well as a mega-hit with the Curtis Mayfield-esque soul ballad "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over," which confirmed that Kravitz's success was no fluke. But the best was yet to come for Kravitz. His third release overall, 1993's Are You Gonna Go My Way, is often considered to be the finest album front to back of his entire career, and with good reason: every single song was a winner, including the uptempo, anthemic title track, which turned out to be one of MTV's most-played videos for that year. The album was a massive hit and Kravitz became an arena headliner stateside, as well as being featured on countless magazine covers. Despite an almost two-year gap between albums, Kravitz's fourth release, Circus, came off sounding unfocused and was a major letdown compared to his stellar previous few releases. Perhaps sensing that he needed to stir things up musically, Kravitz dabbled with electronics and trip-hop loops for his next album, 1998's 5. Although not a huge hit right off the bat, the album proved to have an incredibly long chart life, spawning the biggest hit of Kravitz's career, "Fly Away," almost a year after its original release. With the single's success, Virgin decided to cash in on the album's sudden rebirth by reissuing it around the same time with a pair of extra added bonus tracks, one of which became another sizable hit single, a remake of the Guess Who's "American Woman" (which was used in the hit 1999 comedy movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me). Kravitz's first best-of set, the 15-track Greatest Hits, was issued as a stopgap release in 2000, while his sixth studio release overall, Lenny, was issued a year later. Baptism followed in 2004. After starting a residential, commercial, and product design company called Kravitz Design, he recorded a funky version of John Lennon's "Cold Turkey" for Amnesty International's 2007 benefit compilation Instant Karma. Before the end of the year it was announced that Kravitz would return in 2008 with a new album, It Is Time for a Love Revolution. The album arrived in February, accompanied by a brief tour. Kravitz made his acting debut in the Academy Award-nominated 2009 film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. As he was filming his next role -- a spot in the eagerly awaited adaptation of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games -- he released his ninth album, Black and White America, in the summer of 2011. Reprising his role of Cinna in the second of The Hunger Games movies in 2013, Kravitz wouldn't return to the studio until the following year. Kravitz released his tenth studio album, Strut, in September of 2014; it was preceded by the disco-rock single "The Chamber."

Battlefield of love
I am a soldier A casualty of love I've been from heaven All the way to hell I've had a journey Much more than I can tell I've got stories Much more than I can sell All this mass confusion Causes chaos in my brain I'm on the battlefield The battlefield of love With all of the illusions I won't ever be the same I'm on the battlefield The battlefield of love I'm a prisoner A prisoner of love I have been captured And kept underground I have been tortured But I don't make a sound 'Cause I know one day One day I will be found All this mass confusion Causes chaos in my brain I'm on the battlefield The battlefield of love With all of the illusions I won't ever be the same I'm on the battlefield The battlefield of love
If I could fall in love
When I was young I fell in love She was a goddess With a world inside of her mind When she moved on Something went wrong She took my power And the love I had inside Now that I found you I don't know how to If I could fall In love again I'd fall in love with you If I could change A grain of sand Into a pearl I would I pray in time I'll come to find Away to break through And save this heart of mine You've waited long If you can't hold on I wouldn't blame you I don't think I'd be that strong What am I to do If I can't have you If I could fall In love again I'd fall in love with you If I could change A grain of sand Into a pearl I would You love me so Even though I don't know How do you deal With a man like me If I could fall In love again I'd fall in love with you If I could change A grain of sand Into a pearl I would I would, I would, I would
Yesterday Is Gone (My Dear Kay)
I'm sorry your situation Has let you down I know that things did not go as planned 'Cause in this time you're feeling alone and sad This is what you must understand There is a way Yesterday is gone It's a new day Yesterday is gone Yesterday is gone Yesterday is gone My dear Kay You can't get nowhere Staying at home and crying You can't go on living in the past The one thing constant is that there is always change Not everything in life's meant to last There is a way Yesterday is gone It's a new day Yesterday is gone Yesterday is gone Yesterday is gone My dear Kay
Stillness of Heart
I'm out here on the street There's no one left to meet The things that were so sweet No longer move my feet But I keep trying I keep on trying All that I want is Stillness of heart So I can start To find my way Out of the dark And into your heart I got more than I can eat A life that can't be beat Yet still I feel this heat I'm feeling incomplete What am I buying? My soul is crying All that I want is Stillness of heart So I can start To find my way Out of the dark And into your heart Where's the love? What is this world we live in? Where's the love ? We've got to keep on giving Where's the love ? What happened to forgiving ? Anyone ? All that I want is Stillness of heart So I can start To find my way Out of the dark And into your heart
Believe in me
Where's the love we had ? When did it go bad ? Or am I just insecure ? I give all I can Baby I'm your man Tell me what you're in this for Remind me I can't go on I know not what to do My heart is worn I feel as If I'm through Please believe in me 'Cause what I need is for you To believe in me Countless sleepless nights Never ending fights i'm trying to make your dreams come true I will sacrifice to find paradise But I need to know you're behind me I can't go on I know not what to do My heart is worn I feel as If I'm through Please believe in me 'Cause what I need is for you To believe in me I can't go on I know not what to do My heart is worn I feel as If I'm through Please believe in me 'Cause what I need is for you To believe in me I can't go on I know not what to do My heart is worn I feel as If I'm through Please believe in me 'Cause what I need is for you To believe in me To believe in me To believe in me To believe in me
Pay for play
She said I want the money I know you want it honey Your skies will not be sunny If you don't bring it home to me Don't want to hear your crying 'Cause baby I'm not trying To wait for your dreams to fly in Then she smiled and said to me Well I don't believe in what you do And I don't believe in what you say I don't believe in you You've got to pay the price If you want to play Well I don't believe in what you do And I don't believe in what you say I don't believe in you You've got to pay the price If you want to play You told me that you loved me Was it just a charade ? Were you not thinking of me ? When are we going to get paid? I have been waiting all the time And I'm about to fade You better make that money Do you hear what I am saying ? Well I don't believe in what you do And I don't believe in what you say I don't believe in you You've got to pay the price If you want to play Well I don't believe in what you do And I don't believe in what you say I don't believe in you You've got to pay the price If you want to play
A million miles away
You think I'm cool But I am not You think that I am Nonchalant You think I'm hard That I lay the part Don't be fooled You are my heart Oh Babe i'm just so tired of being on the run Babe when I can't feel your touch And we've lost another day Seems like a million miles away I wander in the dark Looking for somewhere to stay Seems like I'm a million miles away Without love what have we got All these things don't mean a lot Let's disregard the past and start A new fire From this old spark Let's take this love And make it hotter than the sun Babe when I can't feel your touch And we've lost another day Seems like a million miles away I wander in the dark Looking for somewhere to stay Seems like I'm a million miles away What am I looking for ? What am I dreaming of ? When you are the woman that I really love Babe when I can't feel your touch And we've lost another day Seems like a million miles away I wander in the dark Looking for somewhere to stay Seems like I'm a million miles away
God Save Us All
We need a leader We can't seem to help ourselves Fighting and lying We can't seem to let it go We live each day On a small piece of borrowed time Why aren't we trying To enjoy this crazy ride What are we gonna do about it ? God Save Us All God Save Us All God Save Us All If we really try Maybe we can make it We need a teacher We must learn to see the light Let's get together This world needs us to do right There's too much poverty, sickness There's pain and strife Why aren't we trying To improve this thing called life What are we gonna do about it ? God Save Us All God Save Us All God Save Us All If we really try Maybe we can make it

You Were in My Heart
I want to be a better man Lord knows that I'm trying I want to keep the master's plan But sometimes things get wild Demons sleep with me in bed I can feel their fire When darkness gets around my head Sometimes I go blind But you were in my heart While the evil eye was searching out was staring at me But you were in my heart While the maids of doom, were reaching out and tempting me The world can give you everything Anything you want Money, fame And all it brings Whatever turns you on But your bloods running through my veins And I am standing tall But even though you took my place You are somehow bound to fall But you were in my heart While the evil eye was searching out was staring at me But you were in my heart While the maids of doom, were reaching out and tempting me
Bank Robber Man
I was walking down the street today Just as somebody blew the doors off of the B of A Just then I head them call my name As I was thrown against the car I was being framed All units we've got our man We've got the bank robber man We don't need no reason You're going in the can You look like the bank robber man I think you misunderstand Do you think that I am the one that did it Just because I'm tan? Just then the officer at hand said I don't give a damn that you are in a rock and roll band All units we've got our man We've got the bank robber man We don't need no reason You're going in the can You look like the bank robber man Just tell me what's going on ? Can you tell me what I did wrong ? Does busting me make you feel strong ? Make you feel strong All units we've got our man We've got the bank robber man We don't need no reason You're going in the can You look like the bank robber man

There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Business men they They drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth No one will level on the line Nobody of it is worth No reason to get excited The thief he kindly fool There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us talk falsely now The hour's getting late Yeah All along the watchtower The princess kept the view While all the women came and went Bare feet servants too Outside in the cold distance A wild cat did growl Two riders were aproaching now And the wind began to howl Yeah All along the watchtower Yeah All along the watchtower Oh come on

We want peace
Come on people It's time to get together It's time for the revolution! Here is once again in our face Why haven't we learn from our past We're at the crossroads of our human race Why are we kicking our own ass We want peace We want it yes We want peace We want it yes We want peace And we want it fast We want peace We want it yes We want peace We want it yes We want peace And we want it fast We're on the eve of destruction my friends We are about to go to far Politicians think that war is the way But we know that love has the power We want peace We want it yes We want peace We want it yes We want peace And we want it fast We want peace We want it yes We want peace We want it yes We want peace And we want it fast The solution is simple and fame There won't be peace if we don't try In a war there is nothing to gain When so many people will die We want peace We want it yes We want peace We want it yes We want peace And we want it fast We want peace We want it yes We want peace We want it yes We want peace And we want it fast

Without you The sun is shining But I don't feel the rays The boats are sailing But I don't want to play I don't think I can make it Without you I don't think I can make it Without you I live life in luxury But I believe it's a crime Well you can't enjoy it And all the time cry Or maybe some kind of spell 'Cause it feels like a curse When there's so much water But all the time thirst I don't think I can make it Without you I don't think I can make it Without you I don't think I can make it Without you I don't think I can make it Without you My mind is a courthouse My soul is a jail My life is on death row 'Cause you are not there I need a pardon I can't stand the pain What I do for your love now If there's love to regain I don't think I can make it without you I don't think I can make it without you I don't think I can make it without you I don't think I can make it without you I don't think I can make it without you I don't think I can make it without you *** Thanx to Céline and Mama Coco who corrected my mistakes ***
