   "I was lucky to work with
Warren quite a few times. I wrote and produced three tunes with him, "Another Chance For Love" (duet
with Jerrie Lynne), "Somebody New" and "Hold
You In My Arms" (duet with Janet Dawkins). What a marvelous
job he did in these three songs! A year ago I also tracked vocals with him for my new
record "The Vibe". That was the last Time I saw him. Warren was
such an amazing musician! He always had the right feel and passion for the music. I'll
miss him. How did I know about Warren... I guess I heard Sadao Watanabe's "Sweet Deal" record, that was the first
time I heard him sing on a track. When I went to LA in May 1994 I saw in LA Weekly that
Warren was performing at the Loews Hotel in Santa Monica. So I went there and met him. He
gave me his card and so we finally hooked up for "Another chance for love". We
did the vocals at Conway Studios with engineer Daren Klein.
His performance was incredible!" Urs Wiesendanger
