Lenny Williams ‎– Choosing You.

Considered one of the premier black male vocalists of the
‘70s, Arkansas-born, California-raised Lenny Williams first
came to the attention of the U.S. record-buying public as the
lead singer for funk/soul band Tower Of Power from 1972-
1975 on now-classic hits such as ‘What Is Hip?’ and ‘So Very
Hard To Go.’

The soulful singer’s early attempts at launching a solo career
(first with Fantasy Records, then briefly at Atlantic in 1971)
had been challenging; a one-off solo LP with Warner Brothers
(“Pray For The Lion”) in 1974 (while still a member of ToP),
while critically-acclaimed, didn’t register sales-wise and nor
did the 1975 release of the Motown album “Rise Sleeping
Beauty.”

Renowned black music executive Otis Smith signed Lenny to
ABC Records in 1977, teaming him with former Motown
producer Frank Wilson (known for his work with Eddie
Kendricks, The Four Tops and others).

Thanks to strong club airplay for the upbeat title track and
the single ‘Shoo Doo Fu Fu Ooh!’ (US Top R&B Singles #31),
the CHOOSING YOU LP proved to be the turning point in
Lenny’s solo career, reaching No. 25 on the US Top R&B
Albums chart. Other outstanding cuts included the ballad
‘I’ve Been Away For Too Long,’ the inspirational ‘Problem
Solver’ and the dance-flavoured ‘Look Up With Your Mind.’

This 2014 SoulMusic Records reissue includes four bonus
tracks and notes by renowned US writer Rashod Ollison with
extensive quotes from Lenny.
