For Fans Of
Not many artists record two highly collectible self-titled albums ten years apart, but singer, songwriter, and keyboardist Leon Ware pulled off that feat: first with his 1972 United Artists debut, then with this 1982 Elektra release. In between, he wrote and produced for Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Minnie Riperton, and Marvin Gaye, helming the classic I Want You. This album features Ware's soaring falsetto over arrangements by the legendary Marty Paich, with contributions from saxophonist Gato Barbieri and vocalist Flora Purim, who duets on "Somewhere." A cult classic that has since emerged as a key early-80s R&B release, here in its first US vinyl reissue on orange crush vinyl.
