Leonard Albert Kravitz was born on May 26th, 1964, in Manhattan, New York City, United States, he was named in honour of his uncle, Leonard M. Kravitz who was killed in action in the Korean War at the age of 19, while defending against a Chinese attack, saving most of his platoon in the process. Kravitz’ mother was the actress Roxie Roker (1929-1995,)who portrayed Helen Willis on the CBS sitcom ‘The Jeffersons’ between 1975-1985, as half of the first interracial couple to be shown on prime time American television. Kravitz has released 11 studio Albums to date, the latest being ‘Raise Vibration’ in 2018.He has written, produced, and played with several other artists, including, co-writing, and producing Madonna’s 1990 Billboard Number 1 single,’Justify my Love.’

‘Are You Gonna Go My Way’ is taken from Kravitz third studio Album of the same name, and was co-written with long time collaborator Craig Ross. Lenny Kravitz has said that the song is about Jesus Christ, whom Kravitz referred to as ‘The ultimate Rock star.”It’s about how God gives choice to man about where to turn.’

I would urge you to have a listen to the 1990 song ‘Carry On’ by ‘Christian Rock’ artist Philip Keaggy, it is possible that Kravitz got inspiration from it.

‘I was born long ago, I am the chosen, I’m the one.I have come to save the day, and I won’t leave until I’m done.’
