As a song writer at Motown in the late 60's, he helped bring some of the labels greatest songs to life - including tracks for \u003cstrong\u003eWillie Hutch\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ethe Jackson 5\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eMarvin Gaye\u003c\/strong\u003e's \"I Want You\". Later in his career, he released several solo albums, including this self-titled joint for \u003cstrong\u003eElektra\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1982. You might recognize the sublime \"Why I Came To California\" from that first \u003cstrong\u003eKon \u0026amp; Amir\u003c\/strong\u003e compilation from 2004. This track alone is worth the price of admission, and is a timeless example Leon's mastery of breezy, early 80's soul funk - but there's so much more goodness in these grooves. Check the upbeat funk on \"Lost In Love With You,\" the sultry riffs on \"Somewhere\" and the irresistible grooves of \"Can I Touch You There.\" Comes in replica pic sleeve.
