Lenny Kravitz

The son of actress Roxie Roker (The Jeffersons), this half-black, half-Russian Jewish rock star is known and loved for his sonic brand of retro-rock. Before his celebrity rose with the release of his 1989 LP Let Love Rule, Kravitz came to the public’s attention as the boyfriend-then-husband (now ex-husband) of Cosby Show kid Lisa Bonet. Since gaining his own pop stardom with the success of his platinum-selling Mama Said disc in 1991, Kravitz has anchored himself as a premiere rock singer/musician. He’s also become an actor, appearing in the Oscar-nominated film Precious.
