In January 2001, during the live performance of "Are You Gonna Go My Way" on the Howard Stern Show, Lenny Kravitz was enjoying a resurgence following the release of his critically acclaimed album "Greatest Hits" in 2000. This compilation featured some of his most popular tracks from the earlier part of his career, including the eponymous 1993 hit "Are You Gonna Go My Way." At this stage, Kravitz was solidifying his status as a major artist in the rock genre while his sound, characterized by a blend of rock, funk, and soul, continued to resonate with audiences. Interestingly, Kravitz performed this iconic single years after its initial release, showcasing the enduring appeal of his music and his ability to engage audiences through live performances, a hallmark of his artistic identity. This era marked a significant moment for Kravitz as he bridged the gap between his past and a promising future in the music industry.
