Leon Ware - If I Ever Lose This Heaven (Live in Amsterdam, 2001)
Рет қаралды 324,154
15 жыл бұрынLeon is joined by Brand New Heavies' Carleen Anderson and Michael Franti of Spearhead on a special and intimate set at the Paradiso venue in Amsterdam.
Backed by Leon's own DOX Orchestra, and the Zapp! string quartet, he re-arranged and re-mixed a selection of his own masterpieces.
Here they perform a classic cut Leon co-wrote with Pam Sawyer for Quincy's 'Body Heat' LP - originally sung by Minnie Riperton, Al Jarreau and Leon himself (1975).

@@frederickhoward3235 He wouldn't have "given Marvin Gaye a run for it"; he *partnered* with M.G. on many pieces of music - and M.G. was often singing a Leon Ware composition!

I am thinking of the centuries of the Scottish Pipers going into battle, or playing at a wedding....How did it morph into a beautiful ballad of deep groaning to the soul such as this. Songs like this are oh so rare, the highest class of song is when heard on the car radio you crank it up and feel satisfied.

I have always known about Leon Ware and this song since Body Heat (1974). My first time hearing this version. I was blown away. When and where was this version recorded? A masterpeice rewritten . Leon Ware is a great contributer to music and he's never been recognized as he should have been. One of the greatest songwriters of all time.
