"I'm A Believer" by Lenny Kravitz

Lenny Kravitz was like a breath of fresh air when he arrived on the scene at the end of the 80s. Fusing rock, soul, pop, and R&B, this New York native is a versatile talent. No matter which playlist I cue up, odds are there are several tunes by Lenny Kravitz no matter what the mood or theme.

While his debut album only yielded a minor hit with "Let Love Rule," which stalled at #89, his follow-up record was the commercial breakthrough that secured him a legacy that is still going strong today. In 1991, Kravitz's sweet falsetto carried "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" to #2, his biggest hit to date. Surprisingly, one of his best known songs from the early days, 1993's "Are You Gonna Go My Way," did not chart.

Some of his other big successes included "Again," which hit #4 in 2000, "Fly Away," which hit #12 in 1998, and "Dig In," which hit #31 in 2001. Remarkably, all three of these songs earned the Grammy for Rock Male Vocal that year.

From his 2014 record, "Strut," "I'm A Believer" (not a cover!) shows off his penchant for melody and harmony. Like many other songs by Kravitz, this one deserved chart success.
