Myles and Lenny were a folk-pop duo originating from Toronto, Canada, primarily active during the 1970s.
History
The partnership began in 1969 when guitarist Myles Cohen joined forces with pianist and violinist Lenny Solomon. By 1972, they had secured a deal with GRT Records and released the single "Time to Know Your Friends". In 1974, they transitioned to Columbia Records, gaining exposure through television appearances and live performances as they developed their reputation. Their 1975 album, titled Myles and Lenny, included the hit "Can You Give it All to Me", which reached the Top 20 in Canada.
At the 1976 Juno Awards, the duo earned the accolade for Most Promising Group. Despite this recognition, disappointing sales of their follow-up album contributed to their breakup in the mid-1970s. Following the split, Cohen and Solomon each embarked on individual musical endeavors.
