Quincy Jones - If I Ever lose this heaven a classic Quincy arrangment/production, fully orchestrad soul like almost only Q can come up with... featuring vocals by Al Jarreau, Leon Ware and the always luverly late great Minnie Ripperton
coming from the fabulous 1974 album "Body Heat"... which I put on spin again just yesterday after quite a long time... that's why I bless y'all with this thread 
IF I EVER LOSE THIS HEAVEN 
(L. Ware/P. Sawyer) If you're foolin', only foolin' All I ask is "Why?" If you're playin', all I'm sayin' Is feelings sure collide If you're lyin', keep on lyin' Don't tell the truth, don't you dare You can't drop me, 'cause you still got me After takin' me way up there Oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same When you're kind, extra kind Then suddenly you're crossed You're so moody, you get to me Still can't turn you off You're fascinating, more fascinating Than the dark side of the moon You're so exciting, that I'm re-writing The book of love called "You" Oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven Whoa, I'll never be the same Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I ever lose this heaven....

I like AWB and also can enjoy their version (in fact I knew this even before I ever heard the Quincy track many many decades ago... ) but nothing beats Q . [Edited 12/5/05 3:46am] Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

There's a version on Jeff Golub's...
...Do It Again that's not bad. I believe Sue Ann (Carwell) does the vocals. Quicy's is number 1.
