It was in 1979 that I got to work and record with the great English film and stage actor Leonard Whiting of ROMEO AND JULIET fame. We met at Mills College in Oakland CA where he was guest teaching at the time. I was brought in to accompany Leonard for the Shakespeare Productions. We struck up a friendship resulting in many long chats, writing some music, and recording a few songs. I was absolutely thrilled when Leonard fell in love with my song HEAVEN IN YOUR EYES. We recorded it in one of the women's dorms with one microphone. Leonard is singing, I'm on piano, and we brought in a string quartet to boot. I recently rediscovered the tape and cleaned it up a bit using today's technology. I have combined the recording with visual images found on the internet. Here it is, a little rough around the edges, but just good enough hopefully to enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.
