Lenny Kravitz Surprise Performance of 'Fly Away' With Church Choir

topic:
Videos
Music

Lenny Kravitz was "just sitting up on the terrace having a drink and [he heard] some strange music." So he went and jammed with a choir. I want to believe this isn't some dumb staged viral marketing, but it was filmed by this guy and what are the odds that something like this would just happen spontaneously?

The one thing that leads me to believe that this happened organically is this YouTube comment:

Believe it or not, I am the electric guitar holding down the Jam and next to Mike Smeaton while he solos into another dimension. Lenny is a super humble guy and he shook my and the bands' hands. It was a once in a lifetime experience for a guy like that to show up and turn a 60 people concert to a 150-200 concert. Lenny, if you are reading this...Thank you so much for your exciting appearance, performance, and all around good will.

Lenny, I want to believe!

as someone whose voice is best reserved for the hearing impaired, i got a kick out of this. always thought how cool it would be for some famous singers to join some bar band for a few songs. i think willie nelson used to do this.

This was totally by accident. Not a publicity stunt at all. This is my choir from First Baptist Church of Lewisville, Texas. They came back from their trip and did a concert for the church and were totally pumped from Lenny joining them. They had gone to New Orleans on a mission trip and were themselves blessed. They are a great group of kids and their band is quite good.

That was so cool of Lenny. Serendipitous occurrence for sure. I love it when things like this happen. Great guitarist also. The choir needs to let loose a bit :)
