Lenny Kravitz is on the cover of People Magazine this month. While he talks about his amazing career, fashion, life, he also recalls the first time he saw “Young Black Rock Stars”: The Jackson 5.
It’s October 16, 1970, the Jackson 5 are performing at the Madison Square Garden in New York for the group first ever tour which started on May 2 called “The Jackson 5 First National Tour”. Lenny Kravitz is only 5 years old but that moment marked his life and inspired him to be the artist he is today.
“Rock and roll is something that means a lot to me, the art form, and it’s something that at 5 years of age took me,”
“Going to see the Jackson 5 for the first time at Madison Square Garden. Those were rock stars.”
“Those were young Black rock stars that were doing it to the fullest. The art form, the music, the singing, the choreography, the fashion, everything was perfection. So dynamic and that’s what took me. And so I am proud to be part of that lineage,”
31 years later, Lenny Kravitz watched the Jacksons 5 again in the same venue on September 10, 2001 for the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Celebration and the Rock star managed to get backstage to meet his idols.
