According to Wik., In 1980, Lenny LeBlanc became a born-again Christian and began recording Christian-themed music. In 1987, LeBlanc opened his own recording studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where he did his own productions, as well as those of others. #LennyLeBlanc #OneHitWondered
There were follow-up singles from Midnight Light, but nothing matched “Falling” (“Something About You” peaked at #48 on the #Billboard #Hot100). Pete Carr, always more at home behind the console than out front doing the promo grind, was not happy. #LennyLeBlanc #PeteCarr #OneHitWondered
