@@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!

He's the coolest with that cool persona a mellow masculine voice

R.I.P. Master Leon Ware

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.

Pure Class...Actually had tears in my eyes

One of the best tunes ever written done by one of the best group of folks on the planet!

those people were very lucky that day to see these unique performers live!

Carleen has to be the most underrated female singers the UK has ever seen shes unreal gives me goosbumps

Leon Ware's voice is beautiful. That's all I can say, I love it!!!!!!!!!!

Carleen Anderson: sweet voice

lucky you. thanks for sharing,,

RIP Leon--you were the best.

This is shocking!!!! Shockingly beautiful, it really touched me!!!!

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

still one of the best live performance videos ive ever seen... 🥺

gotta love the this Leon Ware live version. slick Michael Franti and the vocals of Carleen Anderson taking it to anotha level...

I can't get enough of this song!!! Both the singing and musicians. Thank you!!!!!!!

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.

Love it! Love ❤️ it! Don't know if I've commented years ago but my mind remains blown by the musicality!

How have I missed this guy. He’s hypnotic. Now I’m looking for all his work

WWWWOOOO Just discovered this Concert ! Been listening to Quincy Jones Vinyls for decades This Concert is Elevated & the Real Deal 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

The deepest yet! The Great Shall Never Leave Us In Spirit.

Can't get enough of this......

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

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!

this is what they call music man fantastic

What an ensemble...talent at its best! ❤️

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.

doesn't get much better than this

Love Leon this guy is a legend indeed!! & this rendition is 1st class,, big up Michael franti!! Ricco,,

This why i still listen to music.

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

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

You live to attend at these kind of rare sets. One of the best sets on KZread

💓 X's 💓 Wrapped in Heavenly Riffs, Chords and Rap! So Blessed by Music Bae.

One of many legends

So much beauty in six minutes. Unbelievable.

My only regret is missing out on this concert

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 🎉🎉❤❤

RIP Brother Leon ware

Thank you for posting this treasure!!!

Beautiful! All of it!

Leons voice is out of this world..

Symply fantastic

I was there that magic night. Feel so blessed. ♥️

M-U-S-I-C. Love it. Leon Ware simply rocks.

look at that Queen.

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.

Fabulous muzik arrangement plus all the voice!

This is my favourite version of the song, and it's live...

Simply beautiful!!!

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

So cool, I shiver..

Carleen! 👍💖

Better than any drink you can mix!!!!!

love this song

If I ever lose this heaven I'll never be the same

Love!!!!!

espectacular!

magaria...

AWB classic played this song in the 70's, but this version is killer

This is my favorite rendition of the song. Of course I am overdosing on the rhythm section! (Bass galore)

COOOOOLLL!!! OUTSTANDING.

They are All PhonemenallyTalented Vocally Gifted Gentlemen Mr.Leon and The Poet , Background Singers

soul, they make the soul!!!

Magical!!

L. Ware as I used to refer to him, was "THE" personification of KOOL! One of my major influences.

Fabulous.

This is so uplifting

Amazing...

amazing. Love it!!!

What an arrangement

❤❤

Великолепно!!! 👍👏👏👌✌️

A dir poco fantastico

amazing.love it

Looks like Michael Franti really enjoyed this!

Loving it.

fantastic!

Magical concert! Thankful I was there in the audience seems like yesterday 🙏🏽 rest in heaven mr. Leon Ware ❤️👑

LINDO VIDEO LAS VOCES SE ESCUCHAN CELESTIALES ME ENCANTAN !

One of the BEST live performances ever on youtube

Sure wish we had been there...Leon Ware is a given but we are totally crazy about Michael Franti & Spearfish.

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.

I saw this performance on television of his singing Why I came to California.

Dynamite!!!

Big up Leon ,Everlasting . Will Downing did a very good cover ❤🙏

We call him smoothe Kool back in that day!

yes this and ledsi and guairist. Jeff golbub with singer sue Anderson these are the three ever version of these dogs ever check out Jeff golbub it has a sexy swing to it
