Leon Ware - Inside Is Love (1979)Fabulous-Soul(FLAC)

Songwriter, producer, and singer Leon Ware was one of the less-recognized products of the Motown Records factory of the '60s and '70s, primarily because he tended to work behind the scenes. His signature style was a highly romantic approach to soul music that resulted in many hit records, notably "I Wanna Be Where You Are," recorded by Michael Jackson, and "I Want You," recorded by Marvin Gaye, both of which he co-wrote. Over a period of nearly 50 years, which included success with Quincy Jones and Minnie Riperton, the quiet storm specialist released more than a dozen ballad-heavy albums for labels such as United Artists, Gordy, Elektra, and Stax. Among these were Leon Ware (1972), Rockin' You Eternally (1981), and Moon Ride (2008). He also operated his own label, Kitchen, the outlet for most of his later work, such as the posthumous Rainbow Deux (2019).
Growing up as an aspiring musical artist in Detroit, Ware naturally became part of Motown Records, which was founded in the city as he approached manhood. In the spring of 1967, the Isley Brothers' recording of "Got to Have You Back," which he wrote with Ivy Hunter and Steve Bowden, placed in both the R&B and pop singles charts after its release on the Motown imprint Tamla Records. But his first major hit as a writer came with the Four Tops' "Just Seven Numbers (Can Straighten Out My Life)," co-written with Pam Sawyer and released as a single on Motown, which reached the Top Ten of the R&B charts and the Top 40 of the pop charts in early 1971. He was not working exclusively for Motown, either. During 1971, he collaborated with Ike & Tina Turner, co-writing six songs on their album 'Nuff Said, released that fall on United Artists.The album reached the Top 40 of the R&B charts and also appeared in the pop charts. Ware himself was contracted to United Artists, and his self-titled debut album appeared on the label in 1972.He sadly passed in 2017 with 13 solo  albums recorded.
