Description « Leon Ware & Quadron - Orchids For The Sun / Hold Tight (12inch) »

Quieres Chicle (or “Do You Want Chewing Gum?”) is a boutique record label conceived by KCRW DJ Mathieu Schreyer. Established in LA in 2012, the label focuses on releasing honest soul music that defies trends and endures the test of time.  Music is available as singles and EPs only in vinyl and digital formats.

Leon Ware is a soul music singer, songwriter and producer. He is best known for crafting the original hit album entitled I Want You. His friend and Motown icon Marvin Gaye heard it and in 1976, Gaye made this sensual masterpiece his own. Some of Ware’s notable songwriting includes the Top 5 R&B single, "I Wanna Be Where You Are" for a young Michael Jackson (1972), and along with Quincy Jones, co-creating the Body Heat album (1973) which features Ware on vocals alongside Minnie Riperton and Al Jareau on “If I Ever Lose This Heaven.” He continued to collaborate with Minnie on her own projects, including the classic “Inside My Love” and “Baby This Love I Have”(1975).  He also co-penned “Sumthin’ Sumthin” with Maxwell for his debut album Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite.  Ware’s music is continually sampled and influences many contemporary music icons including Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest, Tupac and countless others.
