Success
Between 1974 and 1981, Zakatek was the lead singer with Gonzalez. They recorded successful albums, including Our Only Weapon Is Our Music, and Shipwrecked. The worldwide disco hit, "I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" came from this collaboration.
In 1977, Zakatek became a studio vocalist for The Alan Parsons Project, singing on many of their hits over a ten-year period. He was featured on twenty four songs on eight of The Alan Parsons Project albums, which included the hits "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You", "Games People Play", "You Don't Believe" and "Damned If I Do". About Zakatek's vocals on Alan Parson's Project tracks, the allaboutjazz.com reviewer Todd S. Jenkins wrote that: "Lenny Zakatek's singing on "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" and "Games People Play" is prototypical of soulful prog rock. His delivery adds a funky, bluesy air".

Famous quotes containing the word success:
“High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
His proud imaginations”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Obedience is the mother of success, and success the parent of salvation.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“I am from time to time congratulating myself on my general want of success as a lecturer; apparent want of success, but is it not a real triumph? I do my work clean as I go along, and they will not be likely to want me anywhere again. So there is no danger of my repeating myself, and getting to a barrel of sermons, which you must upset, and begin again with.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
