   "Warren's was the voice that
many artists copied when doing their versions of songs he had demoed: Peter
Cetera's "Glory Of Love", Aaron Neville's
"Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight", and many of the Celine
Dion, Whitney Houston, All-4-One, Kevin
Sharp, and countless other stars' records. He also was heard on the "Candid
Camera" theme. I'm sure there are countless other recordings that I'm
forgetting, but rest assured that most anything David Foster
put out, Warren played a part in. For those of us who knew, worked, and loved him he was
simply - great. A voice sent from God that was so sweet you could cry as you listened. He
worked many times at my studio. We did the demos for the aforementioned Aaron Neville cut,
in addition to "Forever Young", recorded by the Pretenders
and Rebbie Jackson, and a slew of others. My only regret is that many of
the producers who visit here will not get a chance to work with Warren. He was a true
"one of a kind", and I will miss him everyday." Ted Perlman
