Leonard Thomas LeBlanc, born 17 June 1951 in Leominster, Massachusetts, is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist whose career began in the mid‑1970s after moving to the South. After early work as a bass player and background vocalist for acts such as Hank Williams Jr., Crystal Gayle, and Etta James, Lenny LeBlanc recorded a demo that caught the attention of Atlantic Records producer Pete Carr; their collaboration produced the 1977 solo release Lenny LeBlanc and the 1978 joint album Midnight Light, from which the single "Falling" reached number 40 and later earned a BMI Millionaire award. The duo toured extensively before parting ways, and Lenny LeBlanc signed with Capitol in 1980, releasing Breakthrough (1980) and Say a Prayer (1983) under Heartland/Capitol, followed by Person to Person (1984). Transitioning to Christian music, Lenny LeBlanc issued Faithful Heart (1990) and Prisoner of Love (1991) on Maranatha!, and later albums on Integrity Music, including All My Dreams (1994), The Bridge (1996), Above All (1999), and One Desire (2002). In 1999 the song "Above All" was honored as one of Billboard Dove’s 40 greatest Christian hits, and Lenny LeBlanc’s 2010 album Love Like No Other reflected collaborations with Asian artists. Lenny LeBlanc’s 2012 Anthology - The Best of Lenny LeBlanc compiled his career highlights, cementing his standing in both secular and contemporary Christian genres.
