Cause I Love You – Lenny Williams
The former lead singer of Tower of Power with the distinctive voice struck gold as a solo artist with this absolute R&B classic. This video has over 50 million views on YouTube… and is still played on radio stations across the nation today. Cause I Love You, released in 1978, is literally like a musical play with several acts focused on one subject … love and Lenny does an excellent job of conveying the emotion, frustration and need in an incredible recorded performance. The recording itself is so solid that I can’t help but wonder how many takes he did it in. It actually sounds like he killed it in one take.
