Leon Ware - If I Ever Lose This Heaven (Live in Amsterdam, 2001)

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).
