Lenny Kravitz not only cites Prince as one of his biggest influences, but also one of his dearest friends. They met for the first time in 1990 right after Let Love Rule hit big and over the years have hung out all over the world, playing together at many late-night afterparties and Paisley Park jam sessions. Kravtiz spoke to Rolling Stone to share some thoughts about his friend a few days after Prince's unexpected death saying,
"I didn't really identity with him until the following year when Dirty Mind came out. That was a pivotal moment for me. Just seeing the album cover opened up my imagination. Here was a African-American cat, mixed like I was, skin color like mine was, playing the guitar like I wanted to play. Obviously I would have been into Jimi Hendrix as that prime example, but this person was alive. This person was doing his thing right in front of me. So he had a very deep impact on me. I was able to see where I could go."
