Lenny Welch is an American pop singer known for his smooth, emotive vocal style, heavily influenced by traditional pop and R&B genres. Born in 1938, Welch gained prominence in the early 1960s, with his biggest hit being a cover of the big band standard "Since I Fell for You" in 1963. This soulful rendition demonstrated his distinctive ability to transform classic songs with his own unique interpretation. Despite a relatively brief peak in popularity, Welch's impact on the pop and R&B scene is notable, particularly for his fusion of these two styles.
