Leon is the man no doubt but sometimes a singer can give a song even if he didn't write it his own personal touch thus making it his own. That's what Marvine Gaye did to "I Want You." Note what Leon says in the beginning "the dearest moment in his life." Acknowledging the greatness of Mr. Gaye. That's humbling. This is a boss concert wish I was there.
nice brother commenting from usa, good man but the man marvin, is the boss thats marvin song nice style like it . marvin was my favorite singer back in the day miss him ...peace.
merci pour cette vidéo, quelle sensualité et quel talent, tout est bon. Est ce que quelqu'un sait si l'on peut trouver ce dvd? Bel hommage pour Marvin.++++
Let's not forget T-Boy Ross! (RIP) I'm sure Uncle Leon would agree that T-Boy's contribution to the "I Want You" project, as well as The Miracles "Renaissance", deserves recognition.
Leon Ware is an absolutely magnificent song writer/producer, but Marvin Gaye gave Ware's music a sensuality that cannot be duplicated or recreated by anyone. Great post!:-)
@detayl03 Leon is so good I started collecting all the tracks his written and produced. He seems to have the midas touch. Every track a winner. Try and find the Miracles track "Calling Out Your Name" written by Leon
Leon Ware has written songs for Marvin Gaye, Minnie Riperton, Bobby Womack, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Maxwell, Omar, Ike & Tina Turner, Isley Brothers, Parliament, and many more. Besides being a great songwriter, he is an incredible singer. Many of his cd's are hard to find and very valuable. Leon Ware is a living legend.
Interesting - I didn't know that. I still think it would be more appropriate to list her as being from Young Disciples, as that is the band she is most often associated with (as far as the "acid jazz" era is concerned, while anything she did with BNH was more of a footnote. Now if it was N'dea or even Siedah Garrett... Thanks for the information, though!
i hear you - will change it. only reason is her famous track with the Heavies ("Apparently Nothing") was my jam back in the day - especially the Artful Dodger mixes (never liked Young Desciples much). and with Leon here, she's still with the group.
It just dawned on me how many people were impacted by MG's music. Just look throughout the room. People of races, from the musicians to the audience are jamming to the song. It just goes to show that MG's music had no color barrier. It's great to see people of different races together for a common purpose. Listening to great music, That's just my .02.
Beautiful music... just a perfect groove.

Carleen Anderson is downright gorgeous! I love how she's just grooving in the back, inspired by Ware's brilliant rendition of this classic
