Warren Wiebe

Warren Wiebe was one of the best session vocalists who have never released his own solo album. His excellent vocals can be listened on many albums such as "River Of Love", "Walkaway", "This Must Be Love", "Is There A Chance" and "Living For The Moment" on David Foster's album "River Of Love".

And you can also hear his vocals such as "Old Photograph" and "Only Love" Sadao Watanabe's album "Just A Touch - Vocal Collection" (Electra Warner Pioneer WPCP-4660).

The reason why I wrote "Warren was one of the best...." is that he passed away on 25 October, 1998. The most beautiful and melodic voice have been lost. He is really second to none.
