Leonard Albert "Lenny" Kravitz(born May 26, 1964) is an americanhalf-Black and of partly Jewish heritage, a singer, songwriter, record producer, and guitarist whose retroamalgam of rock, pop, funk, and even technois inspired by such music icons as Jimi Hendrixand John Lennon. Like Princeand Sly Stonebefore him, Kravitz uses a multi-ethnic, mixed-gender backing band. Kravitz plays guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, percussion, and sitar. He often plays these instruments on each recorded track, but frequently collaborates with other musicians as well when recording. His 1989 debut album "Let Love Rule" was a moderate success.

California Lyrics
Lenny Kravitz
I was converted to the other side
From the day I'd gotten there
I met a girl who took me on a ride
I was young I had no cares
When I moved to California
California
She played me records I had never heard
While we toked on purple hairs
Who, Zeppelin, Beatles
Kiss, The Rolling Stones
While we played guitars in air
When I moved to California
California
California
California love!
Venice Beach and P.O.P.
Station 26 was free
Jeff Ho and Horizons west
Dogtown Skates they were the best
Hang Ten, O.P. were the brands
Don't forget the two-tone Vans
I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys
Nothing ever will compare
But now I skateboard
With my surfer girl
And we really are a pair
When I moved to California
California
California
California love!
