Lenny Kravitz—American Woman
It’s our pre game special tonight on the Music Club, featuring the half time performer for Sunday’s Grey Cup battle between Winnipeg and Saskatchewan.
The Grey Cup organizers decided on the grooves of Lenny Kravitz to entertain the fans at tomorrows Grand National Football festival.
Kravitz began to make some inroads in the music business in the early nineties, co writing a hit for Madonna and introducing his own solo material to the MTV generation.
It was through the nineties that he began to climb the charts and rattle off the Music award nominations, with 1998 making for a breakthrough year with his monster hit Fly Away.
Tonight’s selection American Woman, gained Kravitz a Grammy award in 2000, part of the hugely successful Austin Powers soundtrack. The success of his remake of the Guess Who classic, reintroduced the Canadian legends to a whole new audience world wide.
He has continued on through the start of this century and is presently preparing to release his eighth recording in February; It’s time for a Love Revolution.
It’s most likely a sure bet that Kravitz will play his version of the Guess Who’s American Woman, a song which he funkified and treated to his own special arranging. It’s a version that pays homage to the original, but the irony of an American rock star, playing it to a bunch of Canadian football fans is just delicious, even more so considering the current concerns over an NFL invasion of Toronto.
If you watch carefully, perhaps you’ll see the CFL Commissioner and the eight CFL owners singing background…
