Leon Ware - Musical Massage (Gordy 1976)Leon Ware is a soul master, another one of those legendary soul artists who has had more 'success' writing and producing for other artists, yet much of his own output was of the highest standard. This album has too many great moments to mention them all but "Learning How To Love You", "Instant Love" (featuring Minnie Riperton - Leon uses quality personnel throughout), "Journey Into You", and "Turn Out The Light" are indeed great tracks. One listen and you'll notice that Marvin Gaye's great 'I Want You' LP owes much to this great soul-man and also this album, the likeness is immense. It is no surprise then that Leon wrote and produced most of that album. However, it is only fair to judge this LP on its own for what it is. This is another essential piece of the soul jigsaw. True sensual soul quality.
