Leon 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).

I cared for him as a nurse....so remarkable,artistic and profound....truly gifted....his voice....it as so interesting to listen to him speak because he was real mellow even as his health declined....The essence of cool

Jolavette Pye-Ellis which is why I said that he would’ve given Marvin G a tru run for it! Sure he made better music in my minds eye,

@@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!

@duffgordon9005 8 лет назад

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.

RIP Leon--you were the best.

@rogeriodonato1206 5 лет назад

Já me amarrava nessa música, mas conseguiram fazer uma versão especial. Sim, porque o que vi agora foi algo MUITO especial!!! Excelente!!! Maravilhoso!!! Salve Quincy Jones, salve The Average White Band, salve Minie Riperton, salve Leon Ware!

@philhorneman 13 лет назад

eventhough it is two years after posting but thanx to the one who did post this. I was so lucky to be there at the time...the only correction I'd like to make is that Carleen Anderson is not of BNH but of The Young Disciples fame. Thanx again

@lisawilliams5600 4 года назад

I Saw him in a recording session when my dad took I was 11 yrs old he was just too cool me at studio

@modifiedcontent 12 лет назад

I was there. Very emotional show. Some of the best songs were never broadcast. Should be in a vault somewhere.

@MOREHOUSE80 5 лет назад

what songs?

@modifiedcontent 5 лет назад

Long time ago and I didn't know much Leon Ware beyond I Want You at the time, but I think they did Rockin You Eternally and others

@geraldgirtman7540 3 года назад

AWB did a good cover, this is my first time hearing Leon Ware what a writer and composer, and OMG, I want you sung by Marvin.

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.

@gregoryburton1241 Год назад

The late Leon Ware was really remarkable. Some of Marvin Gaye’s best songs were authored by Leon. He put the oot in Smooth!

@KuttyJoe 5 лет назад

That bass sounds better live than on the album cut. The base grabs your attention. That was a great song too. I fell in love with the original, then fell in love with AWB's version. Both were magnificent.
