Lenny Kravitz picks the Tracks of My Years
Lenny Kravitz, US rock singer-songwriter, picks the Tracks of My Years with music from Steely Dan and Prince. There's also another round of the legendary music quiz PopMaster.
Lenny Kravitz, American rock singer-songwriter, chooses the Tracks of My Years in an interview first broadcast in 2014. It came at the time he released his tenth studio album 'Strut' which produced five singles released in both 2014 and 2015. Lenny wrote all the songs on the album, except for "Ooo Baby Baby" written by Smokey Robinson and Warren "Pete" Moore, and played various instruments as well. He decided to cover "Ooo Baby Baby" while filming 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' where he played character Cinna, the stylist to Jennifer Lawrence's heroine. He heard it in a makeup trailer, and the song pleased him so much that he soon decided to include it as the twelfth title for the new album. The lead single, "The Chamber", was released on June 24, 2014. The video is set in Paris, a city where Lenny has been living on and off for the past nine years. In 2011, he was even awarded the France's highest cultural honour鈥擮rder of Arts and Letters.
Lenny won the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance four years in a row from 1999 to 2002, breaking the record for most wins in that category and setting the record for most consecutive wins in one category by a male. He has been nominated for and won other awards, including American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Radio Music Awards, Brit Awards, and Blockbuster Entertainment Awards. He was also ranked at No. 93 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". His next two chosen tracks come from Steely Dan and Prince.
Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of the legendary music quiz PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
