I agree, he was a good producer and there are many out there that aren't. I don't see anything missing on the later albums after him, but I think maybe a little less promo could be part of why the sales slacked off. I don't think the songs are lacking for anything. I doubt Lenny really had much to do with Gordons songs, as we know Gordon is a perfectionist and no one else needs to tell him what or how to do his music. Maybe as a producer on Gordons LPs, he was more about arranging schedules, the production of the package itself, the promo part, and the financing.
