   "I was so terribly sorry to
hear of Warren's untimely passing. Guess I was away when it happened ...I would have loved
to have been at his memorial. Now I can't remember who first turned me on to Warren, but
he sang three demos for me. One for the movie "Forget Paris"
back in 1993, one for a film called "Heart and Souls" in 1995,
and then another entitled "What Makes a Family"
for the movie "Stuart Saves His Family" (also in 1995).
Luckily, his vocal remained in the "Stuart Saves His Family" movie, cause the
end results on the other films never matched Warren's performances. His passion and his
voice were one of a kind, and I will always cherish the short time I spent with him."
