Drumming prodigy Justin Wilson II, a 5-year-old who has been playing since he was just 18 months old, had no idea who was waiting behind set when he began his killer rendition of Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way" on Ellen.

But sure enough partway through his cover, Kravitz himself appears, and Justin's reaction will make your heart melt.

"Lenny! It's so good to see you," Justin shouts, as if the two are old friends.

Justin also paid a visit to the The Ellen DeGeneres Show last year and played another Kravitz song, "Fly Away," but he didn't meet his icon then.

But Ellen always has a way to upstage herself, and presents a bedroom's worth of Spiderman memorabilia for Justin to outshine the legendary songwriter.
