Chill

Vocalist Lenny Williams joined Tower of Power in 1972 after releasing singles as a solo artist on Fantasy, Galaxy, and Atco Records. His first release with the band was their self-titled, third album, which went Gold. After two albums with the group, Williams returned to his solo career - releasing albums through to the end of the 1970's on Warner Bros. Motown, ABC and MCA Records. Material from those albums became a hotbed for sampling decades later by Kanye West, Mobb Deep, Scarface, Young Jeezy, and others. In 1986, Williams was recruited by award winning producer Preston Glass to sing lead vocals on a track by jazz artist Kenny G. The track, 'Don't Make Me Wait for Love', hit #15 on the pop charts, and the album, 'Duotones', went on to sell over five million copies in the US. Lenny would reconnect with Duotones producer Preston Glass in 1994 for a new album - 'Chill'.
