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
@@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!
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
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.
The colour of my conscious, cool lyrical Excellence 🎉🎉🎉if ever loose this Heaven, a heavy heart miss Leon so glad I got to see him live at O2 best concert ever 🎉🎉❤❤
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.
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!
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.

I can't fathom that ANYONE would be so presumptuous, so arrogant, as to add a speaking part to this music. ANYTHING that needs to be said about this music, the people who make it, their ace, their history, their artistry can be found IN THE MUSIC... There is no doubt - it is a master piece.... It speaks for it's self.... We don't need a speaking part to paraphrase it.

Thanks for that. Very sweet.
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,
Thank You for taking care of our musical Elder Genius 💖💖💖🙌

He's the coolest with that cool persona a mellow masculine voice
Carleen has to be the most underrated female singers the UK has ever seen shes unreal gives me goosbumps
Leon Ware my unsung hero. Rest In Peace with Minnie & Marvin.
Great taste!!!!
I was there. Very emotional show. Some of the best songs were never broadcast. Should be in a vault somewhere.
what songs?
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
I was there that magic night. Feel so blessed. ♥️
I was there, and I'll never forget this song (para Septiembre)
lucky you. thanks for sharing,,
Always loved Leon Ware. Been loving his voice since he was singing with Quincy. This song is one of my favorites along with Body Heat.

Wow! What a fantastic arrangement. Wish I had been there.

Bev Johnson great song love Leon ware and brand new heavies
Better than any drink you can mix!!!!!
I like this!!
Carleen! 👍💖
L. Ware as I used to refer to him, was "THE" personification of KOOL! One of my major influences.
They are All PhonemenallyTalented Vocally Gifted Gentlemen Mr.Leon and The Poet , Background Singers
One of the BEST live performances ever on youtube
Simply beautiful!!!
first heard Leon Ware on a MarioBiondi album, instantly checked him out - LW : maybe best voice ive ever heard...
If I ever lose this heaven I'll never be the same
I saw this performance on television of his singing Why I came to California.
RIP Mr Leon Ware
COOOOOLLL!!! OUTSTANDING.
So cool, I shiver..
Fabulous.
A dir poco fantastico
What an arrangement

If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is why?
If you're playin'
All I'm sayin' is feelin's sure can lie
If you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth
Don't you dare (don't you dare)
You can't drop me
'Cause you still got me
After takin' me way up there
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven (hoo!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll never be the same
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven (hoo!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll never be the same
When you're kind, extra kind
Then suddenly, you'll cross
You're so moody
You get to me
Still can't turn you off
You're fascinating
More fascinating than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting
That I'm rewriting the book of love called You
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven (hoo!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll never be the same
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll never be the same
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven (hoo!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll never be the same
Symply fantastic

love this song
Amazing...
This is so uplifting
Looks like Michael Franti really enjoyed this!
espectacular!
amazing. Love it!!!
This is my favorite rendition of the song. Of course I am overdosing on the rhythm section! (Bass galore)
fantastic!
soul, they make the soul!!!
amazing.love it
Is that Michael Franti? OMG!
RIP LEON SOUL LEGEND
Magical!!
Where I can find this concert in better quality?
Franti sounds better with them here. His verses were PERFECT here. "Inside My Love" should have been left alone but this was an excellent collab.
Loving it.
Love!!!!!
Big up Leon ,Everlasting . Will Downing did a very good cover ❤🙏
We call him smoothe Kool back in that day!
