Warren Wiebe - From An Angel
A collection of westcoast aor gems from this amazing vocalist.If you are into westcoast in any way i would suggest you track down some of his work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Warren Wiebe (July 18, 1953 – October 25, 1998) was an American vocalist and session artist from San Diego. After playing bass with several bands, he was discovered by David Foster and Burt Bacharach in Los Angeles in 1987. He did the duet "Listen to Me" with Celine Dion for the movie of the same name. It was never officially released.
He was one of several lead vocalists who contributed to the 1991 charity record "Voices That Care".
He is also famous for performing the song "Human Touch", a ballad which was used as one of the ending theme songs for the 1996 anime After War Gundam X. The song is one of a very small number of anime theme songs that not only was performed with English lyrics but was composed by non-Japanese songwriters. An avid ice hockey fan, he was also known for his stirring performances of the national anthems prior to Los Angeles Kings games. He did many demos with David Foster including "When I Fall in Love" for the film Sleepless in Seattle and when Celine heard his singing she wanted him instead of Clive Griffin to sing on the track. In addition he sang on the All-4-One hit "I Swear" and did backing vocals for many artists.
He battled mental health issues and committed suicide on October 25, 1998.
Much of his early work has been released posthumously, but there has not to date been an album of his work.

Warren Wiebe - From An Angel Interesting. I actually paused Survivor's Vital Signs to check this guy out on Spotify. Frustratingly, there's only one of his songs available - I Believe In Us - which is very nice. Shame you had to mention Celine Dion. Back to Popular Girl...

Back in 1987 this singer/songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee gave us the superb "Kick The Wall" album.This unreleased 2nd album "Going The Distance" is even better,if found, grab it and don't let go. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
