LaJaye’ Britt & the Legendary Lenny Williams Released the first Single entitled “It’s Yours” from the forthcoming full CD from LaJaye entitled “Perfect Timing.” Heart Inspired Entertainment in conjunction with The TFD/Caroline Records & Capitol Music Group announces the release which will mark the first Gospel release from the legend himself. Ultimate soul crooner and Oakland native, Lenny Williams, possesses one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music.  With his rich, passionate vocal style, he is rightfully regarded as one of R&B’s most influential soul men. Although Lenny Williams has had a long solo career, he became famous for his lead vocals on major hits like "What Is Hip?", "Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream)," "This Time It's Real," and the ballad "So Very Hard to Go." Williams next solo effort, “Spark of Love” (also on ABC), became his first gold solo album and boasted the hit ballad "Cause I Love You." In late 2002 Williams made an appearance in David Payton’s Gospel Stage Play, “A Good Man Is Hard Too Find “ where he connected with Singer/Songwriter LaJaye’ Britt, a Goldsboro, NC. native. LaJaye’, although singing since the age of 7, recorded his first solo project in 1995 in New Jersey for Black Bear Records. Later he signed with the Baltimore Indies Label Del geo Records along with label mate and Rapper Mad Cobra releasing the follow up single, “Slow N Eazy.” Getting back to his roots as a Minister and Gospel Artist, LaJaye’ landed the lead role as Clarence Jones in the #1 Gospel stage play (mentioned above). Over the years the two talked about recording together and a few months ago that talk would advance to the writing and recording of their first single together. Williams & LaJaye’ teamed up and recorded in the Bay Area at a well known San Francisco recording studio. While the pair were responsible for the writing and vocal arrangements, they solicited the help of a very well known artist by the name of Ashling “Biscuit” Cole of Larry Graham & Graham Central Station who performed background vocals on the recording. The Single is now available world wide wherever digital music is sold.
