Sy Kravitz

Seymour "Sy" Kravitz (December 10 1924 – October 29 2005) was an American filmmaker and retired NBC TV news producer.

Kravitz was of Ukrainian Jewish descent. [ [http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article3245845.ece The face - Times Online ] ] He was married to Roxie Roker from 1962 to 1985. Kravitz and Roker were the parents of the rock musician Lenny Kravitz. Lenny, born in 1964, was named after his uncle, Pfc. Leonard Kravitz, who was killed in action in the Korean War while suppressing Korean resistance and saving most of his platoon; he was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.

Sy was a famous Hollywood producer and his environment of celebrities and up-and-coming stars was influential on his son's musical career. He died of leukemia in New York City at the age of 80 when Lenny Kravitz was having his first concert in the all-US tour of Aerosmith. The "Let Love Rule" singer paid tribute to his father in front of fans at a Mohegan Sun Casino Arena show in Connecticut on October 31, 2005.
