Description
Lenny Williams is one of the most enduring R&B and Soul vocalists
from the 1970's having delivered passionate recordings throughout
his long solo career and during his three year stint from '72 to '75
with incredible funk group Tower Of Power.
Rise Sleeping Beauty was produced by Williams himself along with
arranger Chester Thompson and they deliver an album of broad
scope and rich musicality incorporating the traditional themes of
love and relationships along with political and social commentary.
Williams is in great vocal form throughout tackling tender R&B
ballads (Loving Station) through to smooth soul grooves (Cause I
Love You, and Shame) and rasping funk bombs (I'm A Pioneer,
Run On See What The Ends Gonna Be, Son Of Thieves, Slaves And
Braves and opener Since I Met You); the later being the album's
only single which reached #94 on the R&B singles chart
